Reply to Galactic Civilizations: The case for no multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

What do SP-only gamers care whether or not a multiplayer option gets implemented or not? I personally don't have any problem with people putting in their vote for an MP expansion. The game was designed to make MP possible, and if it's added and sells well, then I'm happy for Stardock and the MP fans.

The only reasons to play games on a PC rather than a console are if you happen to like PC game genres or if you want indie-developed games. That's it. Or if you like being able to play a game while someone else is watching the TV. Or if you like being able to play a game without having to f

Reply to Needlessly destructive cashiers in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I'd just chalk it up to stupidity/ignorance, myself. Speaking as someone who's spent way too many years as a cashier in way too many places, I can tell you that cashiers are trained for expediency. The idea is to get the customer rung up and the door as fast as possible (especially in a low-quality store chain like Wal-Mart). For most other types of products, the box isn't important. Furthermore, the anti-theft deactivators are us

I guess I just don't understand why this bugged you so much that you'd spend a half hour to search it all out and then spend the time putting the e-mail together when you could have been playing. Depends on how you think. Speaking as someone who has proof-reading and copyediting among her main skills, I noticed much of this stuff right away mys

To make it all short, Galciv2 is a good game as SP game. Hovewer its year 2006 and in these days the biggest winners are onlinegames. This game is like: "Buy a cheap car without engine! We will deliver engine later for added money since it is so expensive and time consuming to build." It depends on ho

Reply to (Free Beer) Question about custom ships in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, your custom designs (and the core designs) will only show up again when you've once again researched all the techs required for the component parts that were used to build them. This probably also includes things like Miniaturization (since it allows you to cram more parts onto a ship). Edit: *chuckle* Talk about accidental overkill! (I kinda wish this forum had a preview function so you could check for that sort of thing before posting...) Peace & Luv, Liz

Reply to Fun with data tables in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Anyhoo. I went through and scanned the patched data files, and I think I got everything updated... the missing stuff added, and some silly goof-ups I had made fixed. All the ship-part files should be updated. Although I can tell just by looking at the tables that there will probably be another patch in the future... there's some issues with two different parts seeming to have the same stats. Droid Sentries II and III, for instance. <br/

Reply to Fun with data tables in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Demaratus: Heh, yeah, I know I'm missing all the alignment-based stuff. I did these tables using the original game data, where all of that data was missing, and I haven't had any time to update them since the patch came out that fixed the missing stuff. That's why I recommended the new Galactopedia instead... that program is essentially just a front-end for the files themselves, so it's obviously instantlly "up-to-date", whereas I have to do

Reply to Rally point bugs in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

A workaround for the "rally point under starbase" thing for the time being is that if you send a ship into the starbase's square, you then can click on the square to get the list of ships in that square, and the rally point will show up as one of the "ships". You then can click on it and disband it. Peace & Luv, Liz

Hey, don't look at me guys... the Stardock folks are the ones who invented the whole Pure Evil/Chaotic Evil/Neutral/Chaotic Good/Pure Good system... I just applied it. I'm used to the D&D system myself... I keep catching myself wanting to refer to the Altarians as Lawful Good, for instance. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Tongue.gi

Forester: I don't mind that some people are saying that "Hey, great game, if you make a multiplayer expansion to it I'll buy it." What bothers me is some people saying "Geez, I want MP now, why did you release the game without it?" They made a decision to concentrate on SP *first* and not wait for multiplayer, and, as Kato said, why begrudge us SP fans that fact when most modern games nowadays focus on MP and shaft SP to some degree or anoth

Reply to Galactic Civilizations: The case for no multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

You know, I really don't understand why people are making such a big deal out of this. What happens if you're a multi-player fan? Well, you have *gobs* of games to choose from. Pretty much every single modern game that could remotely be multiplayer has it. It's not like you're hurting for choices. What happens if you're a singleplayer fan? Well, you read review after review of the latest games where the reviewer pretty much comes

I just thought I'd note that since the new Galactopedia program makes this sort of thing rather redundant, I'm not going to bother adding any new tables, I'm afraid. But the program is so much cooler anyway. https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=162&AID=105605 Peace & Luv, Liz

All right, here's my Constructor design: Link: Worker Ant Didn't really come out the way I'd had in mind, but I couldn't really find the parts I needed and I wasn't in the mood to "fake it" at the time. Maybe I'll revisit it later. Next design I'm gonna make is my freighters. I really want to do a butterfly, but there aren't really the right parts, so I ended up with a sort of dragonfly the las

Reply to Losing hours of loving care. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Mmm. I have to admit that I'm personally at a loss, then. I've built a couple new ships of my own in the latest patch (although I did make mine playing the Metaverse), and they show up for me in new games. The only thought I have left is: I wonder if maybe in order to make a design "stick" you have to make an actual working version of it (with modules, weapons, whatever) and build it at least once. Did you build any of your ship designs? Or

Aw, you sure know how to tease a girl. Adventure games are my main gaming passion, and I'd love to see what you folks could come up with, especially if it's sci-fi based. Maybe someday... At any rate, I'm glad to see the game getting good reviews. It is quite good and fun, and your apparent business practice of continued support, no copy protection, and customer interaction is one I'd like to see thrive more. Peace & Luv, Liz</fon
