Reply to Your favorite economic/tycoon games in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

if you can get a game call "afterlife" it is an old based dos game, probably can run under windows 95. If you can't just download it from Emule. It is a game that is like econ/sim/tycoon game. The premise of the game is simple, you manage souls that has been sent to heaven and hell after people has been dead. It is pretty funny concept and hilarous. Another similar game is dungeon keeper 1 and dungeon keeper 2. But these two are not really econ/tycoon game. but both are really funny in t

Ah..what is wrong with american bashing. I am not asking a rhetorical questions.

Not only that, everyone should and ought to follow your way of life. But then, there is som little incident on September 11, 2001 that gave everyone of you guys a little rude awakening which is...many parts of the developing world are s

Reply to EA, you disappoint me. in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

wait..i thought DRM and starforce only causes incompatible issues on some users computer and also causing technical for even those who have legit copy of the software. Hence it is not consider to be malware. But even if it is, can like spybot search and destroy, smithfraudfix and combofix.exe remove the problem??? I had X3 the return installed on my computer but it has starforce on it. I did not have any problem with my system after i unstalled the game.

@Divinewraith Thanks for the prompt reply. I always get confused about the tech research speed. I always thought it has to do with the time cost in terms of research completion. If it is just economic costs, well i just muscle the money from taxes. :)

@Divinewraith. Can you also add some tips/strategies to beat each race. Since you wrote about how to play with them, but it is good to know how to beat them. :)

Reply to The Arcaen stink in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

@Lord Weaver I played a brief game with arcean. I was having problems with the same issues as you initally, but i found out how to solve the economics problems i think. I found that the maintanence for a lot of the building are very high regardless of which type of buildings you build. So the best thing for you to do is literally only build entertainment centers, and forget about building any type of manufacute type buildings. Also, when choosing your ability, make sure you pick crea

what is Mythos and what is EV Nova??? @erathoniel it would be nice if you provide links to background into to some of these games you review. A lot of times, i have no clue what you are talking about. Not that i am lazy or anything, but a lot of times, sometimes when i see you review games, you don't provide any background to some of the games you mention, what i mean is like the world background these games are based on. Is it an RPG, first person shooter, what are the s

Reply to Update next week in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I don't find the delays for patch that long or bad. For one, the research cost feature tweak is not really a bug. Also, some people whom complaint are forgetting that this is pc/video gaming industry we are talking about. There are not that much other options for TBS game floating around in the market, so it is not a big that a deal if SD delays releasing a patch for justifiable reasons. And they have given lots and lots of notice ahead of time. Also, as CariElf and Brad have said many time

Reply to Im just wondering about something (to do with mega events) in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

One thing i don't get, in the sand-box mode for ToA, do the Dread Lords return like in the sand-box mode for DA. If they do return, do they expand or do they just sit there on one mega quality planet. I want to have a sand-box game just playing against the Dread Lords, i even tried modifying it on the editor, but it won't allow me to do that. I need to have some other race to play with besdies the Dread Lords.

I am not sure if it is in the latest issue of pc gamer, or some other mag, there is a column by one of these popular mag editors which opiniated that Sony and Microsoft is not going to develop the next generation of their respective consoles. Because it is becoming too costly to throw in another 8 billion dollars to develop the latest hardwares. The article also include Nintendo. However, i do think Nintendo is safe because it caters to more of the kids and teens market. So they don't have t

Reply to The power of the consumer - copy protection in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Oh yeah, for all the uproar about Bioware/EA's effort in copying protection, my friend who is a member at Demonoid.com is telling me people there are hard at work in working a crack to the Mass Effect copy protection challenge. Apparently the first crack had issues, and now they are all putting their brains together to figure out how to beat it. Well...so much for EA's draconian effort, serves them right. Should have use Stardock's model.

play it on normal levels, i think that might resolve your problems. If you try Twilight of the Arnor, the Kyrnn is more annoying with their planet flipping.

Reply to GalCiv II Gold - Normal difficulty crushes me in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

build lots and lots of entertainment centers and a lot of markets. Hold off on the factories, or don't build so many per planet. This way, you get more cash flow while still maintaining a resonbale morale.
