Reply to 2012 in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

Dec 21st 2012 is a hoax; most probably a valid astronomical discovery by the Mayans turned into a complex scam to generate collective attention by the masses on a series of intellectual concepts aimed at cashing in on the "Mystery". Human minds are that weak (about anything, btw). You should be more worried about these upcoming **inevitable** events; - Nuclear arsenals use for any reasons (Civilian societies paying the heavy price for military

Reply to Hard ai mod in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

There are plenty of different ways to "boost" military skills or strengths of any or all AIs; -- RC file abilities -- Opponents variation on the pre-game settings phase (CPU usage, Aggressiveness, Startup Ethical alignment, etc) -- Political parties (through modding new ones) -- Logistics, Soldiering, etc.

Anomaly "correction" (if we only knew what ALL (0 is for BCs, for example) classes & types effects are to fiddle with) could be used to mimic that sort of thing -- trick would be to grab *it* first though! [e digicons]:w00t:[/e]

Reach for the MOON! in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

Where were you? What were you thinking, doing on that pivotal day in Human history? In the Laurentians, near a small lake in vacation along with family. 13, reading a book and my sister beside in a dreamy mind state for her 15th. anniversary gifts... Mother shouting; come and see this kids on the B/W TeeVee set. We both ran out to the shore after about ten minutes of watching, picked up what we were reading and right there it struck me;</

Familiarize yo'self with an XP pseudo-clone, cuz that's what UAC did (giving them the benefit of the doubt, here) to Vista. Drivers, what's that -- outa synch at it happens? M$ should give me back total control over CODECs, that's what. Glad the new gear remains stable, so far. [e digicons]*_*[/e]

Met the publisher's "deadline" for the novel? Cuz, once that's off your slate -- i'd really enjoy reading an "Habitable by all" string beside its expected Forest query on my non-ex_wtreme planet surfaces. IIRC, Kryo mentioned Sharon replaced Carielf for this coding task. Not that anything else couldn't matter more for a stable release either. Summer is chaos at work, as usual even here; I think it's the heat & UV rays, blood boils or somethin'.

From holding the whole of Europe to the isolated island of Saint-Helena to a shiny graphite crypt mausoleum (unmatched in meanings or importance to ANY population)... worth recognition of a pivotal Emperor in human history. If Abe Lincoln U_N_I_T_E_D the states of America by eliminating slavery, then Napoléon defended France beyond frontiers. Hard to deny that Bonaparte became a target for anyone else's syndrome of political control & power, though.

Reply to Where do saved maps go? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

One more obstacle preventing me from creating scenarios & campaigns for the X-Worlds mod too, in fact. "G"? Never heard of it... it's reasonable to assume, you'd get a regular "saved" game structure though in the usual root folder of c:\Documents...(whatever your OS and game configuration details here); otherwise, it would seem logical that such files should prompt for file_naming (when cheated for) and be located in the installed directory of TA's "Tools/Maps" -- but i doubt it,

Superman, velocity wise. Batman, cunningly. Bruce SiuLong Lee (ghost?) would take both down simultaneously with simple Nunchakus as proven by Chuck Norris "attempt" in Way of the Dragon! Martial Arts or film special FX -- matter of perception but not of potential evaluation(s)!

Make that three (at least), Stefan. Trouble is, even if i DO own DesktopX from SD, there's absolutely no comprehensive details about specific dxpack files editing anywhere. Kinda self-learning process which i'm sure DSep mastered with more patience than i ever could have; blame my Cobol & Pascal background for it. True also, programming has evolved -- if we could afford keeping up of "newest" gimmicks, so, take that Ubisoft

Reply to Any girls here? in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

Have you ever met (or talked to) any serious girls? Both my daughters were crazy (at times)... all it took was the wife to cool things down at the kitchen table; strangely, the usual TeeVee evening for them was seriously scrambled -- no matter what they tried on the remote, they couldn't type the newest password for the bothering impaired. Two weeks later, they nodded and smiled in tandem. Case closed.
