Reply to I'm an Idiot and Need an Original XML File in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks for the file contents. I appreciate it. As for the semantics, the modification was inadvertent, definition number 2 for "unwitting." I opened the file to see what was inside, and my cat promptly decided to walk on my keyboard, making all kinds of erroneous characters in the file. When I closed the file, I unwittingly hit "yes" to save instead of "no." So, as for your semantics argument, there was no need to be an arse about it. Thanks again for the help.

Reply to Population Growth Issues in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

My population just hit 500 billion and I'm just stating 2227. No racial modifiers, and I just built the aphrodisiac achievement. I think I may have gotten a couple +1% bonuses from exploring anomalies as my pop growth number reads 53%, including 50% for the aphrodisiac. It just doesn;t feel right. And my taxes are crap. I make approximately 2500 per turn and spend all of it. Am upgrading to banks on most planets, but my taxation is crap

Population Growth Issues in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Population growth is supposed to have been dramatically reduced in the latest beta. 3% per turn is the base growth rate. Based on this, after a full year (52 turns) population should have grown by ~438% (1.03 to the 52nd power). Which means a 5 billion person homeworld should be translate to no more than a 30 billion population galaxy. This ignores no growth on colony ships, etc... Why then, after 1 year of gameplay, with no popula

Reply to Why is my starbase a lemon? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

So, if you have any sort of defence, you get all the addative starbase defensive bonuses. And if you have any sort of attack, you get the addative starbase offensive bonuses. Bingo. 1 attack point in any category is sufficient to gain all offensive ship assist bonuses. <b

Reply to Best planet evar! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've never had as good an individual planet, but I colonized a system that was drop dead the best system I've ever seen. 5 habitable planets. Class 14, 17, 17, 19, and 26. The Class 14 planet had a precursor mine (700%) and all the other planets had a 300% mine along with at least one 300% research tile. I was 9th of 10 races in power at the time and in a horrible war with the Yor, who were devastating me. I was down to two planets when I made my discovery. Immediately bought colony ships,

Reply to Problem in campaign game in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The game doesn;t freeze when end-turn is hit. When it does not advance to the next turn, it means that you have a ship set on autopilot who has reached its destination with movement points still left. If you hit the "find" button, you'll be sent ot that ship and when it completes movement (assuming no other auto ships have moves left) the turn will commence properly.

'Planet quality bonus'- Basically the same questions (though its pretty obvious that this one is just on that planet.) When you hover your pointer over a planet, its class is revealed. When you get a planet quality bonus, this base planet class is increased by the given %. Example. You find a class

Reply to STICKY: Glitch Report v1.1 BETA in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I still cannot scroll down in the 'Description' portion of a planet's tile. Not the building, but the tile itself (bonuses, etc.) This appears to be a boundbox problem. If you hover over the down arrow key and move slightly to the right and down, you can move the description down in the text box. I

Reply to UPDATING GERMAN and other Non-English versions in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have contacted the appropriate people from Paradox and informed them of the problem. Please keep in mind that Paradox is a Swedish company and due to the date (Friday) and the time difference (6 hours), it is unlikely that there will be a solution before Monday at the earliest. I can't speak for Paradox, but they have a good reputation for doing well by the customers. I don't know what kind of contact Stardock has with the peop
