This thread has me remembering an old email received years ago. This Link is about the same thing. While it deals with pronunciation, one get's a grasp of spelling at the same time.
"...no one quits. If you don't do your job I'll shoot you myself" I hadn't, but now that you mention it....

You have a point. I stopped allowing Windows to upgrade my video drivers a couple years ago when I noticed Windows was actually flagging my new-from-ATI driver as "old" and needing to be replaced.
Yep... thought that would "stir the pot."
Mascrinthus, I don't have an answer, but I am surprised it's been two months without any response at all.
Let me get this straight, Spearthrower: I have yet to make any errors in this thread. Therefore, it "sounds like" I don't know another language? Exactly how did you reach that assumption? So, Wheeloffire...there were 9 points in Spearthrower's post; you have an issue only with him assuming you are an

I've read too many posts today.... someone with a similar video card was having problems and downloaded a non ATI driver that worked fine.... I can't remember what it was.
I've a feeling you may need to work with the economy sliders a bit because it sounds like you are researching very slowly. By time the DL found me in their first campaign mission I had a military starbase up with full assist modules and a couple fleeted fighters with minimal defense. With the starbase assist, those fighters were able to hold their own while I worked up the tech tree. Before long I needed 3 fighters fleeted together and had to rotate
Evil Hedgehog: You are slamming a post that was slamming the OP for slamming poor grammar. Taken in full context, it was rather funny.

look in your My Documents\Games\ (maybe games\galciv2) folder for the debug.err file. That will help.
I posted this with my latest B4 bug report. I found I could get the starports to stop building ships by VIEWING the planet, then selecting the BUILD SHIP button on the planet screen. When the list of ships came up I would select NONE and get back to the strategic map normally. That is the only way it worked. Selecting none from the quick build screen would look like it worked, but the ship would still be in the build queue. Interesting n
In a recent game, gigantic map, only 3 other civilizations left, I got bored trying for the influence victory so attacked the Terrans. Well, I didn't bother to check if they had an alliance with the other two...they did. Fine. I had been receiving money from most of the civ's throughout the game for my "benevolent" nature. Within 20 turns the Iconians and Terrans no longer existed and my fleets were converging on the Torians in the far corner...the
Wait, it was a bad thing I voted to have it on one of my planets? Only if they break out. I always vote for it because of the 50% production increase for 3 years. Pirates can be fairly destructive, but the bonus is worth the risk, IMHO.

b] The tactical combat in both the previously mentioned games was pretty simple. I believe the Stardock team could develop a tactical engine as good as either of those without batting an eye. They could. They won't. One could argue all the issues about coding in an entirely new combat system, etc. b
This is a very entertainining discussion! First: the OP needs to learn that any valid comments made were lost when the post became a death threat rant. Second: In the last 12+ years of being on the internet I have observed that people would rather be economical in their typing rather than have a "nice looking" post. By that I refer to the "short speak," or "internet slang" that used to be common in chat rooms, IM's, etc. when peopl
To my horror, it doesn't exist at harder difficulty levels! In the latest beta. For those who are waiting for the 1.1 release, the exploit exists across the board. The designers explained that it would be too easy for the beginning player to get so far into debt that they'd lose interest in the ga
I've seen them in all of two games. First time was at least mid-game and they had a dreadnaught and a couple battleships fleeted up. Second time was my current game...fairly early game and they were 3 heavy fighters. Considering no one had any military at the time, this was fairly tough. Considering the council voted the prison on my homeworld and I now had 3 heavy fighters taking out my starbases, it was much worse. Still, I was able to take them
While I haven't read every single post in the forum (impossible anymore), I vaguely remember a brief reference to an argument about ship building even being in the game. If that's correct, they could have set it up to "encourage" (with lots of negative reinforcemet) use of the designer so every aspect of the game would be used. I don't believe Stardock expected the designer to be any where near as popular as it is. I'm sure there's some
I think I'm starting to get a hang of this game. My last game I was well on my way to an influence victory, but got bored with how long it was taking and pumped out a few ships for galactic conquest to speed things along. Still, was at the top of production and economy for most of the game with influence 2nd, or 3rd, and never built a fighting ship until I decided to back off the influence victory. Pirates foiled that attempt this game.
Forgot to mention... you can see a string of both Arcean and Terran scouts in the screen capture. Both races sent the scouts early in the game and never moved them. That's 4-5 scouts each sitting idle during a point in the game it is difficult to afford having 4-5 ships doing nothing. Don't know if that's a glitch or just the AI's going overkill on keeping tabs on me. Note: their scouts only have 5 range sensors. They are barely in range to even
