Reply to Age of Conan: Lackluster - Part 1 in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Yeah, gotta say this post is just...nitpicky, I'd say. Almost every point he (or she) made was not really true--or is (has) already been addressed. Things like the music, which you can now make less or more prevalent, the voice acting (more than 60 key quests throughout the game are getting voice acting put in) and hey, no soloing after 20? You can solo the whole game! I'm lvl 50...haven't grouped once, and I level like gangbusters! Also, they've realized the lack of quests in the t

Tech List Please! in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I'm trying to sell some friends on how great this game is and I'd like to be able to show them all the revised and expanded tech trees and how unique they are to each race. Any way we could get a post or something somewhere with the techs for each race listed?

Following the instructions of other sites, I'm beginning to see that my main problem lies in being unable to log on to my router. It has a login screen that requires a password. My router is an AOpen AOR-401. I've searched the internet...admin does not work as a password as many sites say it should, and I have no way of reaching a port forwarding configuration. Meanwhile, I have set up a...what was it called...like a permanent ip address for myself. But gosh, this is

To Monk. Sorry to blather on and on, but here is the first block I run into while following your guide. When I try to login to my router it sends me through this bizarre registration process. After I finish I am in the status screen, but there is no way to navigate to the 'port forwarding' area, or any other screen. When I hit the 'home' button on this page it restarts the registration process.

Oh yeah, in mys search for finding my correct ip address and port number I've been given numerous different ip addresses for myself from various sites. I've forgotten what the easy way to do this on your own computer is...

Well thank you both for posting. The Monk for his clarification and Blair for the promise of these issues being addressed in the future. I very much look forward to playing this phenomenal game with friends...even my drastically computer illiterate ones. Okay...maybe I'll go try and wrap my feeble mind around that pdf guide of yours. Thanks again for the replies, Dinantes

Heya. Thank you both for replying. Hopefully I can get that LAN game working ok. Monk, I didn't mean to disparage your guide in any way. It's actually very well written and instructive. It's more that my mind groans upon seeing such a complex path to follow when I simply want to be able to connect and play like any other game. Part of it's my problem, yeah. Laziness, I guess. I don't want to have to make a Network Map and find out the make of my router to play a g

Ok, so. I seem to be having that problem where I can't host. I played with one friend who could host, but now trying to play with another, it seems that both of us cannot. We each get the 'greyed-out' join bar and a pause, then 'Disconnected from server' message. In searching for a problem, there is a pdf troubleshooting thing by (sorry, forgot his name, but he seems helpful) that I found referenced often. Now, I'm fairly good with computers, but this thing was gi

I have this too. One day it worked fine for me, another day...disconnected from server. Crappy...

So by 'pause' do you mean hitting the esc to bring up the menu, or is there another way (the pause button, perhaps? I haven't tried it) And so, is the only way to 'up' that for my friend and I to go into user settings as make that number higher?

In case of emergency...or the bathroom..or the phone... in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Just a quick question. Say I'm playing online with a friend and we need to break for whatever reason (bathroom, kids, wife, awesome goal in the hockey game--whatever!) can we use the esc key to pause like in the single player game? Hope so. Oh, and what a game!

Agree. My friend I'm gonna play with has kids. Sometimes...you just need to pause. I hope this is added.

After a frustrating experience trying to download this game, I've been turned away from that avenue completely. I'll head head down to the store and pay extra for the GE just to do things simply and easily. Looking forward to it, but the download process was discouraging.

Still only digital download? That sucks. Ah well, guess I'll have to be happy with the original.

This just sucks. I love this game...I'd give you 50 bucks cash to get an expansion...but for it to be download only...without a credit card, that just leaves me high and dry.

Hey there, Gallahger118, or anyone else who feels like replying... You mention having taxes at 75%, and 4 or 5 vr centres..did you mean on one world? Cause it seems like you did, but, I mean, that's too much room to devote to such things, is it not? I mean, factories and research facilities seem like much more viable options to me, since I can make money from trade anyway and why not use that room for better things? I mean, yeah, you COULD buy a lot of social projects o

Reply to Just played suicidal without tech trade in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Does invading your own world that the enemy just took over and seizing some new technology sound realistic? Of course. If that happened, and the enemy was there, they may have used said tech in the invasion, or even introduced it into their new life on your world. Why not? But leaving your world so the enemy can take it then recapturing it? No, that's not realistic, and I wouldn't do that. Why would you? As I said, if you're at that point where you need to impliment unrealist

Reply to What elements in Galciv2 are useless (or almost useless)? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

On a gigantic map, by the time you're halfway through it, yeah, taxes are going to be your big thing, but how far into the game is that?! Long distance trade routes and eco starbases stacked over the routes can net you all the money you need. No need for tons of stock exchanges, I have maybe one on each planet, except for my eco capitals. Two at most. Maybe one morale building, if that. But who needs them if your taxes are low and you get yourself some aphodisiac or something, ya know?<

Reply to Just played suicidal without tech trade in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, turning the tech-trading off provides a challenge, and I guess turning off the tech stealing would too, but you also wish for a more...realistic game experience? Tech trading (and stealing) IS realistic. And fun. Would I ever play a game with no tech stealing? No. Never. Don't you get excited whn you see what you've stolen is? Know what they call that feeling? Fun! Why would I wanna turn that off in favour of a more masochistic experience? I'd just..move on to another game, maybe

I'd love to see multiplayer. That was the best part about (can I say it?) haha) Master of Orion 2. Damn, that hotseat forged the most valuable and lasting friendship of my life. It's insane, really.

Reply to What elements in Galciv2 are useless (or almost useless)? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Agree with most, espesially the invasion tactics, but whoah! I can't believe what I'm hearing about trade! It makes tons and tons for me! Absoloutely tons! I have eco starbases over all the routes; when I go to war with someone I have huge trade relations with it can sometimes put me into the yellow. I never up the taxes on my worlds, and I'd rather fill of the space on my planets with industry and science buildings, so trading with anyone you're not at war with seems indispensable to m
