So all I need is a talisman that protects me from evil spirits and i'm good to go! More or less, yeah. You'd be amazed how many people don't take such simple precautions when they join up with a software development company, though.

I could be wrong, but I believe in the current 1.1 beta that they're testing (due to be released as an alpha some time within the next week or so) Alpha and beta are different stages of development, with alpha coming first as a version that is not open to the public at large. Because testing is open to th

HOWEVER: The top 5 scores still listed are all cheese victories with influence victories turned off, and they aren't deleted. Thus, manualy deleting cheese scores isnt working so great, now is it. You know what? Screw it, you're stupid. If you can't tell the difference between an exploit and an

If they deleted your score, it looks like you weren't playing by their rules. Don't be an idiot just because you found a bug and exploited it. If they haven't dealt with the other guy, that's not your problem. The person with the highest legitimate score might have a real complaint, but you've got nothing. You found a bug. Great, have a cookie. Then stop whining. Turning off influence victory is not an exploit. Making a public display of stupidity isn't going to prove your poin

This would be a cool system, as long as the size of the stealth generator is sufficiently large. Basically, a stealth ship wouldn't be good for much except for spying or ambushing merchant ships and unguarded transports. I'd be worried about balance if you could make stealth troop transports, for example.

Wave that e-peen! Show everybody whose is biggest! Be a martyr for the noble cause of exploited Internet high-score stardom! You earned your fame and glory, but The Man is keeping you down. I feel so bad for you. Stardock deleting your score doesn't mean they don't plan on fixing the system. All it means is that there is no reason for

It's built on top of an ancient Indian burial ground. The high turnover rate among the extra devs hired for GalCiv2 was given a more-or-less official explaination in the GalCiv2 Post Mortem article, but the truth is that they were all murdered by the wrathful spirits of the long dead. You can rest assured that everything you just read is true, because it's on the Internet. They don't just let people make stuff up, you know?

I tried buying the Earth 2150 trilogy, but it says my username/password combination is wrong when I try to log in. I checked my e-mail that I got from Stardock re: my username/password, and I'm definitely typing it in correctly. When I request having my password sent to me, it says an e-mail was sent but none ever shows up. I'm definitely entering in the right e-mail address and password. Can't emphasize that one enough. What's going on?

Sounds like a bug, not a cheat. I was expecting another post to the effect of "OMG I got pwned!!!11 AI is teh cheetz0ring". While your attitude sucks (and attacking the honesty of Stardock is completely unjustified), at least you're not one of those idiots.

Someone really needs to put together a crash course in the English language. The world needs a half-hour solution to a dozen years of public schooling. Ideally, this course would cover: general rules regarding apostrophes, punctuation, commas, how to spell "rogue" (it's not makup), capitalization, to/too/two, your/you're, they're/there, its/it's, caps lock, common logical fallacies and the use of "lol" in place of all forms of punctuation. At the e

Personally, I value the increase in relations that you get when you're trading with someone more than the money. If there's a galactic superpower and you're not it, trade with them a lot so they'll like you. From there you can either start funding their enemies with ships and tech to cut them down to size, or help them take over the galaxy and go for the diplomatic victory.

If I'm going to be fighting near a military starbase, every single one of my ships will have a point of defense to get the starbase bonuses. The final result is three points of defense vs any attack, and four points vs the type your defense protects against. That is well worth it. If my ships are unsupported by a starbase, tiny hulls go all offense while larger ships get a mix. Pure offense is cheaper, but you don't get an experienced mil

Just goes to show that no matter how good your product or customer service is, somebody will always be there to b**** about it. Oh, and there's never any shortage of hyperbole, with claims like "It even makes Starforce seem like a minor annoyance compared to this." Has Stardock secretly installed drivers that damaged your hardware? Has Stardock software copied itself onto all network drives with read/write access? Do you need to reformat your hard

That's what I'm saying too. Haasen said he bought a ship from someone for $2500, but I don't consider that to be a good deal. Compare a Ranger to the other ships in play for most of the game. It's pure whoopass with an engine attached to it. Paying 2,500 BC for the most powerful ship in the galaxy is a <I

Because the world really needs another Madden that is practically identical to the last game which really wasnt that great to begin with. Hey, the names on the jerseys are different. Some of the players are even on different teams! Also, the commercials hyping each annual installment are updated each year
