Reply to The games does get pretty slow on bigger maps in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Well I haven't noticed any massive slowdown ata ll, maybe 2-3 secs for a turn. I am running 3000+/1 gig with a 7800 GS. Might be the gfx card having to process all the ships etc?

In the latest Journal replies by Frogboy, it says that the idea has been abandoned I think.

Reply to *SPECIFIC* Suggestions for Improved AI Aggressiveness in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

The total war series are a good example of an AI ganging up on you, the human player. It renders any diplomacy etc in the game pointless, and means that you are basically having to expoect to fight everybody at once. I don't think that would work in the Gal Civ world, especially not if you choose to go for a Tech or Diplomatic Victory. And aren't the 0,0,0 stat ships there mainly to stop a transport rush to conquer the planet?

Reply to GalCiv II: Size Matters in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

The HP thing is being missed here, I have lost a lot of small ships due to the fact that I can't destroy large ships in one shot, whereas they gradually pick off mine shot by shot. This is especially the case if you are playing a 'stratergist' style game, or similar, where the tech difference is not great enough to give you a significant tech firepower advantage.

Reply to Upgrading Ships in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

There is a tick box on the upgrade screen, just below the picture of the ship. if you select it, it will show you the cost for all your ships, including those in orbit etc.

What exactly is the point of being able to recreate the Yor as a custoim race? Why not just play as the Yor?!

Reply to Precursor Corvette random event? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I have just become the most powerful military civ in the universe, when i 'find' a Ranger. Interestingly, the description didn't mention (as it normally does) that is is immensely powerful - probably because it isn't compared to my own ships.

Reply to Yor are Overpowered! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

The Yor aren't that powerful, I have noticed that you are more likely to be attacked, and seem to have a big disadvantage in Diplomacy compared to other races. Nothing is 'broken' !

This pretty much puts Stardock on the same footing as Steam. Except I don't need a broadband connection everytime I want to play the game..

Reply to GalCiv II: v1.1 preview in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Will you also give us the option to disable the colour coded influence overlay on the mini map until we meet the randomly generated opponents. There's not much point in not knowing who you're fighting if you know who you're fighting on turn 1. Kind of ruins the surprise I agree with that.

Reply to Unrestricted Tech Trade Ruins 4xTBS Games in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

It is too easy to be able to react against others weapons by grabbing the tech through trade that you need. Which is a pity, it means you don't really get a nasty surprise when you realise you are 6 techs away from having an effective defence/attack.
