Total Gaming's Games in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Ok I'm going to purchase both Space Rangers 2 and Pre-order Dark Avatar (I want to get into the closed beta =P) but I'm wondering how to do it. Well thats a bit off, I know how to do it (my new and first credit card!) but I'm wondering whether it would be better to just pay for the two games at a cost of $60 or buy 10 tokens for $70. The problem is I'm not sure whether there's actually any games I would spend my extra tokens on. The corporate machine looks semi-intereasting and

Reply to Borders and Where is a uber database w/ all the stats for everything? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm a noob and I see my borders being criss-crossed by many a ship(scout ships atm b/c I'm only 50 or so turns into a gigantic game). What good are borders? I do believe that those are not borders, they merely highlight the edge of your influence? As for the flipping of planets through influence I;m not entirely sure, I rarely go that route,

Reply to Why doesn't ship life support add up like I think it should? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I think engines give more life support too, think of it logically if 2 ships travel that has the same size and crew, but one is faster than the other, the one that is faster can travel further before a refill. You've got to remember that this is a game and may not be made to represent the real world.

New: + added option to save ship design to disk. If turned off, the ship design will not be saved to disk and will not show up the next time you start GalCiv2. Ship designs will still remain in memory until the data is reloaded (from a save game, from starting a metaverse game after having played a normal game, etc). Yes!!

Reply to Another vote for nebulae in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

The barrier couldn't in real life terms be a physical object, it would proabably have to be a field of some sort or a bending of space in some way to make it impassable. It would be along the same lines as the starbases lowing enemy speed, except stopping it. Of course there would have to be some way around it, possibily attacking it or 'terraforming' it.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar schedule announced in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

I have one question, when you mention that pre-orders well allow access to beta when do you mean? Hmm what I mean is whats the timeline for allowing pre-orders to participate in the beta. Will it be on the old release date, earlier, later? Thanks for any info. O yes, ne other question. Pre-ordering without those tokens requires a credit card correct, we can't use paypal?

Reply to Digital Distribution is not the same as publishing in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Personally while I'm willing to use Digital Distribution for Dark Avatar its not something I would ever consider as a first choice. I love the culture of the video game store, I love going and talking to the same clerk year after year talking shop about video games. Digital distribution takes out that human quality, which is why i'll always look at it as a second rate distribution medium.

Reply to Looks like a nice game, but.... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Multiplayer is a waste for a game like this. Period. Have you even been around this community?? Maybe only 5% of this community wants that in this game. A turn based game that takes as long as GalCiv2 to finish, you are out of your mind. I certainly don't have the time to sit on my computer for 12hrs a day trying to finish a multiplayer game. I have a life outside of gamin

Reply to Game Example : A Fatal Mistake in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

"You know, we like you, but we don't like your posting your fleet so close to our border. Remove your ships. I know, in some ways its one of the first games to give the AI more options than the human, which is quite annoying imo.

Reply to Stars = Natural Warp Inhibitors in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I like the idea, and like many other aspects of the game it doesn't have to mesh with reality. And yes stars do slow things down, in fact all gravity wells do if your trying to leave them. The slingshot effect works not because it has propulsion but because the object saps a little bit of the rotation from the object. HUGE object emparting 0.000001 of its rotation to a small 40kg object is going to speed it up alot.

Reply to Web Poll in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Well of course not many others would and I do believe it can be adjusted for. But take some of the polls that ask how you liked # patch. There are alot of people who like the game that don't necessarily visit the website and forums. So you get people who say didn't like the patch and don't vote or people who liked the patch who don't vote or people who get technical difficulties and don't vote. You can clearly see that in WoW where a significant portion of the populace will miss an anou

Reply to AI scripts in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I dunno playing with the AI at its toughest setting, while far better than other AI's I've encountered still is no match for a human player. At tough, for me anyway, the game is still a breaze, I'm not sure what the economic benefits are but I tend to play on Painful.

How much does it randomize? Like could it say make the beginning techs as expensive as top teir techs or does it randomize only within a certain range, say and increase or decrease of 50%?

Reply to Mirroring ship parts in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah I've encountered that too, I thought it was due to a small asymetry in the parts but if there is a way to mirror it that would eliminate it and make me use those parts much much more often. Is it possible?

Reply to Difficulty Level -- List ? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Some ways other than changing the intelligence to make the game harder? Don't play on close clusters for star settings and play with lots of habitable worlds. That way the AI's better ability to micromanage comes out. If you want to play an easier game play with few habitable worlds and with close clusters.
