Yeah, the game seriously needs a patch that includes a "World in Flames" mode (where you start over from the begining with your money and items from the previous game, elsewise, what's the point in getting them?), and some of the bugs.
It's pretty rare that I get worked up over a computer game release, and even rarer that I pre-order one. While I enjoy games quite a bit, and spend more time than I probably should playing them, I just don't get that hyped up very often. Thus far, the only two games I have ever pre-ordered have been GalCiv2, and the expansion Dark Avatar. That is until recently. The other day I went ahead and preordered Mercenaries 2, the sequel to Mercenaries: Playgro
I would love to see a faithful movie version of [link="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_Is_Down"]The Moon is Down[/link], by John Steinbeck (one of my favorites of his). It is an excellent book, and the message is just as relevant today as it was back then. I was going to say The Road, but there already is one being made so we'll see how it turns out.
You are going to find a lot of GalCiv players on this forum. Yes, it is a great game; it is easily one of the best games I have ever played, and would be well worth your time and money to pick up. It embodies the spirit of "one more turn", leaving you with many hours of lost sleep. The Game of the Year Edition is only $20, and is a bundle of the original game and the second expansion. If you are in Europe, check out the Expanding Universe bundle. There is a demo available fo
Most of the stores here (Arizona) carry GalCiv 2: Game of the Year Edition for about $20.
[quote]Not really the same, since I used the map editor to start the planet out at PQ26, but it did start with a precursor library and a teardrop morale booster, and with a PQ doubling megaevent and the Altarian bonus buildings, I had it maxed out (PQ72).[/quote] Cheater. ;) Back in the old days, shortly after GalCiv2 was released, I came across a [link="https://forums.galciv2.com/102223"]Class 72[/link] that had occurred naturally (through random events and such).
[quote]they are having an other sequel. It was discussed in Wiredd Mag. I think it has to do with Two Face vallian.[/quote] [B][U]!!Spoiler!![/U][/B] Given the ending of Dark Knight, I'm not sure how that's possible.

What game are you talking about? You posted this in the general forum, so we have no idea if you're talking about GalCiv, GalCiv2, Sins, Pac-Man, Peek-A-Boo, or Barbie Horse Adventures.

[quote]Starship Troopers, make it to follow Heinlein's story not be some piece of crap as the "original".[/quote] I personally think that it would be better as a limited run television series, that way things could be fleshed out a bit more. I also kinda liked the movie, sure it's nothing like the book but it had it's own campy charm.
[quote]It was actually available free to watch on CBS's website, though I imagine they've removed it by now.[/quote] Yeah, but I prefer watching on DVD. In any case, it rocked!
Due to weather and work my celebration will have to be delayed a couple days, but I assure you that guns shall be fired and cans/bottles defeated soundly in battle. :D
[quote]What is wrong with downloading a game to test out its full capabilities, then decide whether you want to buy it?[/quote] If the owner of the game allows it, there is nothing wrong. If the owner of the game does not want you to, it is wrong to disregard their intellectual and property rights and forcefully take what you want. [quote]So why can't we download a game in order to try it out, then decide after that trial run that we like it enough for the game to be deserved
[quote]Now I recently but the Twilight expansion and I still find some design issues that really keep this game from being a real successor to MOO2:[/quote] To quote Brad: [quote]GalCiv as MOO 4? No. The comparisons have always been there. Even back at the start when Galactic Civilizations for OS/2 was released. GalCiv for OS/2 came out in beta before MOO (Master of Orion) shipped but 1.0 came out after MOO. So there's always been some question as to who influenced
My favorite FPS is just to drive down to the gun range, or head out into the desert with friends. :D As far as video games go, probably Farcry.
Season 2 Dvd's are being released today, mine should be here this afternoon. I'm stoked, I didn't see the second season as I was turned on to the show too late to catch it, there are going to be some late nights this week... :CONGRAT:
[quote]also i couldn't categorize GC2 players as teenagers screaming noob and pwnzor and whatnot, actually i could describe them as adults acting like adults[/quote] I don't know, there was Wheel of Fire... ;) [link="https://forums.galciv2.com/98074"]I suppose that the OP didn't see this thread, which is surprising since it is the fourth link from the top. The reason, of course, that it is fourth from the top is that it is stickied. Why is it stickied you might ask? Becaus
Heh, it took two and a half years since the first class 72 planet was found for another to pop up. I feel downright special! :CONGRAT:
While it may not be as important as a Terran planet, it can still be heavily fortified. The enemy is thus given the option of getting bogged down by stopping to clear it out, thus allowing your more important worlds more time to prepare and your fleets to get in place; or they can bypass it in hopes of finding something better, but that opens up their forces to being cut off and wiped out.
[quote]If anyone disagrees then please post a realistic storyline.[/quote] I say it's Superman, is mine really any less realistic than yours? ;)
Or, if you don't have internet connection on your gaming machine (such as myself): [link="https://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/update"]Manual Update[/link]
[quote] don't tell me you don't want to know whats pursuing the vasarri. [/quote] Actually, I don't. I think that way too many good story points get ruined by people feeling the need to explain every detail, answer every question, and tie up every lose end. Personally, I think it would be much better if they never actually explained it. The imagination that mystery invokes is a fertile field, and the ultimate in user created content and involvment.
Half the fun of the original manual was seeing how out dated it was (even by day 1).
Thanks kryo!
