Reply to Do influence starbases need a planet in order to work? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

They do not need planets to function, they push out into the general area as you said. Their power/range is increased when you upgrade them by sending out more constructors to add new influence modules.

Reply to My Impressions in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I find the game even more enjoyable with the AI at its maximum potential. At a setting of "normal" it is not using all of it's routines. Try difficulty setting of "tough" for the full AI effect

Reply to Why charging social spending when no projects are selected breaks the game in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I wouldn't say it is game breaking at all, I've had great games completed with me winning and losing unrelated to the way this works. However I do understand your points and so do the devs. Here is a Link where a dev discusses this somewhat. They now it is not perfect, just better than the old system. If you click on the journals tab to the left, they post alot of the stuff they are noticing and thinking about fairly regularly.

Reply to Returning to partially researched tech in Research GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, when you examine an unfinished tech, it has a progress bar that shows how much time/bc have been invested already. Same with ships being built too, sometimes.

Reply to all the core ship designs strangely disappear in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I reported the missing core ships in the Glitch thread. However I was able to get the core ships from the Beam Weapon tech line to appear. It was just the mass drivers and missile weapon based core ships that wouldn't show up for me. This was in sandbox games, haven't checked in the campaign.

Reply to An idea for easy, logical planet defense in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Well I try to have a good manufacturing planet every 1-2 sectors on the larger map sizes. Also, it seems that over-extending your reach is causing holes in your defenses and making it hard to keep your fleets covering your entire empire. This actually keeps the game from being a pushover I would think because you have to balance keeping your economy strong with how large of a navy you can field to protect your planets. I think these are some great i

I use an nvidia 5200 and the game runs great on it. They are dirt cheap now too.

Reply to Game freezes after Galaxy Setup in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

As old as your video card is, it looks like you just need to get a newer one. It is bottoming out at the low-end of the scale on the minimum specs, and with no recent driver updates you will probably never get this game working on that card. It would be interesting to see if anyone has the same card as you and can run the game.

Reply to Video card question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I am using an nvidia 5200 with no problems at all, and they are dirt cheap now. If you have an AGP slot and some money though I would get a slightly better card.

Which gfx card do you have? There were 2 people with an MX 440 earlier that ended up having to get newer cards.

Reply to Tired of upgraded ships not working after loading a save in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

They are in the process of optimizing the ship building process. They know people are having some problems, and hopefully they will find something that works better. They have already changed a couple things, but I think it will be a few weeks until we get something more streamlined.

To set the enemies to use "Intelligent" you need to select a difficulty setting of "Tough."

Reply to theory I heard today in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

From most of the posts I've read, the crashes were due mostly to old drivers for gfx cards and dual-core processors. That does make an interesting theory, but the SD folks are pretty straight-forward and I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt until given a reason otherwise. I think the way the devs have put it is that you miss out on all the improvements and added content from updates if you pirate the game.

Reply to Graphics: What Am I Missing? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

By fully lit, you mean that when one of your ships is by a star, the side furthest from the star is not dark (shaded)? Trying to figure out if it is just a matter of your personal preferences/expectations or if it is an actual problem. I haven't heard anyone having shading problems, might make sure all your drivers are up to date. I think there is a sticky thread relating to your processor, but sounds like a gfx card problem to me, if it is even a p

You need to run the Stardock Central program, select Games from the top left box, then you click on Gal Civ 2, and it will either pop-up a window prompting you to update or you can right click and select the choice for "Check for application updates" Hope that helps.

Reply to Anyone else have buyer's regret? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I regret not buying the collector's edition in the store. Something just doesn't feel right about not having a game on CD, even though I did burn the archives... Anyways, no regrets on the game itself at all. The game is great, being improved constantly, and the dev. interaction is unprecedented in my experience. Couldn't ask for more. I will probably take care of my buyers remorse and buy the collector's edition anyways <img src="http://images.s
