You get credit even if they're different types? So, if you've got an Economy Capital and want to upgrade to a farm, you always get it next turn? Yes and no. A Basic Factory can be upgraded to a Xeno Farm in the same number of turns that you could upgrade a Basic Farm. However, improvements that can't be improved or demolished (i.e. Capitals,

Similiarly to our island hopping strategy "Our"? You were there, I take it? What was MacArthur really like?

Reply to [BUG] Metaverse incorrectly displaying Difficulty level in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I'm up to Painful but all my games show up on the Metaverse as Normal. Although, the game doesn't seem to be getting any harder. I figured this was the result of my learning to play but as was pointed out elsewhere, maybe the AI itself is buggy and you can't play vs. higher-than-hormal?

Reply to Getting Lucky? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I always play as "Lucky" (the Ability + the political party) and I usually just get one Ranger (on Large, slow tech maps).

Reply to economic starbase bonus? in Economics Stardock Forums

Have you added any components to the starbase (w/ add'l Constructors)? I'm not sure if the base starbase ("What's your vector, Victor?) gives any bonuses.

Reply to I am putting Galciv2 aside in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

How does your not having problems effect those who are having problems? I'm recommending the game myself, just with the caveat that it might not be a smooth experience (although these patches certainly seem to be helping).

BTW, everything is smooth since the latest patch. My empire, The Fighting Hellfish, is ranked...60!

Reply to Farming Barbians.. uh, Minor Races in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I save up all my outmoded ships for just this purpose. Give some minor flunky all my "last gen" ships and then destroy the stacks.

Reply to Brad's "Did you know you could do this" thread in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Am I supposed to be able to upgrade one kind of Planetary Improvement to a whole other kind (i.e. Basic Farming to Basic Factory)? If so, neat (assuming it saves turns)! But then what's the "Demolish" button for?

Reply to Anyway to Recover crashed Metaverse game? in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I wish! I've had one metaverse game offer to post and another not. In both games, I save-cheated liberally and CTDed about every ten minutes (e.g. the usual amount). Neat idea you have there.

Ah! I have not gotten this pop-up.

Reply to How do I "upload" to this "Metaverse"??? in Metaverse Stardock Forums

Started game. Clicked "Metaverse" button. Logged on, selected character, etc. Played game. Won game. Now I have this "EndGameSave.sav" file. What do I do with it?

How do I "upload" to this "Metaverse"??? in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I have an "End Game Save" file from a Metaverse game. What do I do now?

Reply to Starports Vanishing in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

This happened to me too, but only in a Metaverse game. Sadly, no one seems to be able to recreate the bug with my save file.

Reply to [bug] Ship upgrade and removing parts in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Also running into this bug and I've noticed something else. The "you can't do this" pop-up pops up under the build screen so I don't even see them until I've exited (at which point I have like 200 suxh pop-ups).

Reply to Sentry and Guard, less than useful in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I am also finding it a bit buggy, at least when combined with the fleet feature. Example: I'll have a fleet guarding, take one ship out of the fleet and move it elsewhere. It takes me a few turns to realize that the whole lfleet has also moved! Not a game-breaker but still...

[BUG] Earth loses it's Starport! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Now when I try and build something on another (empty) Earth tile, the game swaps whatever another planet was building for my one-and-only starport, leaving Earth incapable of building ships. Luckily, I have the save file from just before this starts happening. Is there somewhere I can send/post such a file?
