Reply to How do you upgrade ships? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

You do not get troop ships until you research Planetary Invasion. You will get a pre-made basic Transport ship. But it is always better to make your own. You do this in Shipbulder.

Reply to USING USER DESIGNED HULLS in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

In Beta3 there was a bug that would auto-obsolete designs so you could not save them when upgrading. This is fixed in Beta 3A released yesterday. Is this what you mean?

Reply to How to Fix Some Issues with Upgraded Ships in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

@Zippyriver The newest vesions sincve 1.0x do not use shipclass files. 1.1 uses .XML files instead. To keep track of threeads, you can add them to your Browsers' favorites menu. Click on Favorites when you are in the thread and clcikc add to favorites. most if not all Browsers support this. I created a separate Folder in my Favs for keeping track of threads since the Forum software watch feature does not work.

Reply to How did you find out about Galactic Civilizations II? in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Can't vote but I can se the poll results. Apolyton and Civfanatics for me. Then I heard about the rukus over Starforce at a tech forum, learned of SD's 'no CD to play' strategy that treats customers like the honest people they are, and that cemented my intent to get it. I could not play civ4 due to it not liking my PC setup, and was looking for a TBS to spend my time with. After I saw the Starforce stuff, I remembeed discu

BTW GCFL, you can't be dragged into a war your Allies start themselves as the aggressor. Only if they are attacked does the alliance kick in.

@Jeffrey Pinard 1.1 Beta 3A change log here. Beta 3A was released Monday evening 4-10 after this thread was posted.. (It's avaialble on SDC now.) So some of these issues may have been addressed.

Reply to Crash crash crash in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Your Video drivers are over a year old. Update them. Most recent ATI drivers were released this past February. Your sound drivers are really old. Update them too.

Reply to Crash to Desktop after End Turn in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Update your video drivers - there were some released last month for the Nvidia cards. Update your sound drivers if possible. If not, try disabling your sound card and see if that helps. If not, that narrows down the issue. Try running in Windowed mode. Leave the game resolution smaller than your desktop resolution. If you run in full screen, Try setting your game resolution to match your desktop resolution when you

#1 Freightors will only move one square at a time once they are on the trade route. The advantae to putting more engines on them is to get them ot the planet to get the route set up quicker. Also, I do beleive that sensors work on them while on the route. I assume armor and weapons would too, but I have never tried. Your choice to decide if getting them there faster is worth the extra cost. #2 I do Occasional Habitable, Number o

Reply to ATI Video Card Issue in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You need to post your debug.err log here so we can help. It is located in the main game folder. I highly doubt an ATI based card doesn't have drivers available that are not newer. You can use Omega drivers in any case for that brand card. 2 year old drivers will not render MS directX 9.0c correctly as that software has only been out less than a year. And the game requires that version of directX to function. Regardless, post

They are still there. I have found that I get them more often playing races with extra Luck characteristics. But I haven't realy played enough to say if this is a trend or just the RNG. I'll let you know in a thousand games or so.

That begs the question...if you started the war but were getting your butt walloped would you stick around, and refuse making a peace treaty so you could survive, just to see it through so they can win?

Reply to Help with alliances in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

@Tanin - Alliances are how you get a Diplomatic Victory. You have to have alliances with enough races to qualify. Isn't that a benefit? That is why they are hard to get, since they can determine a victory. You have to work for them.
