Reply to Get To Know me! (Reason included) in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

I said that because of what my life has been, so far. (I can't openly smile either, but for a different reason) I hope I am wrong, though, in what I said. Life has to have some meaning, and reason. If it is strictly chance and then evolution to a cold death, then it is truly futile for all of us. Nothing we do or contribute has any meaning whatsoever. (From current observations, this universe is

[quote]Start young, it gets harder to fit life on a paper the older you grow.[/quote] Actually, not. The older you get, the more succinct things become. The young want to make every minor detail into a major event. With experience you can more narrow down to the more important life changing events. As such, come back in 30 years with your new version - then compare the two. I think you will find that I am right. Here is my

Pain is as much in the mind, as in the body. You can block out either kind, with a little discipline. And your story is not much different from millions of others. Most of us have been bullied, and most of us have had pain in life. That's life.

Reply to L4D Slowdown in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

It could be a problem with the memory used. If you are using a 32-bit OS you are generally limited to 2GB of memory space. If your game needs more than that it will use the swapfile, which slows things down.

[quote]Are you aware that solar panels actually produce less energy as the ambient temperature rises?

Just have the problem of transferring the power. Would that offset the costs of building closer, but a bit less efficient? Currently, solar

SSD's are nice, if you have the cash. They'll probably be standard equipment 10 years from now. Most people do not need them, though. It is one thing to want the speed, and quite another to really need the speed.

Reply to Small GalCiv II updates? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

So Frogboy, Are you talking about GalCiv2 - the original Dread Lords? Or only about one or two of the expansions? Because, really, DL has not seen a decent update in quite some time. It is still back at 1.5something. How about a token of thanks to all of us that bought the original but don't have the expansions (for whatever reason, be it don't want or can't afford)? We, after all, sent this snowball rolling down the hill for you.

Reply to Black screen instead of GCII in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

As far as I know, the prefs.ini file is created with default values when the game is installed - not after it has run. The debug.err file is created fresh each time you start the program, and well before you would come to a black screen. So the files are there. You just need to look in the correct locations. (make sure you can see file extensions in Windows Explorer - it will make it easier)

Reply to Starbase Upgrades in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have always found it easiest to set certain planets to constructing nothing but constructors, then launch them as they are built but leave them next to the planet. When I have enough, I fleet them up and send them to a starbase. That way I don't have to deal with upgrading it every turn or so, but can 'fill it up' in one shot.

Reply to Random Events rant in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I don't think so. Evil usually has the best deal, with neutral second best and good a poor last. That may why more people choose to play as evil, because it is so much easier. It's that way in real life as well, so the game is at least keeping with the real world in that respect.
