[quote who="IronMac" reply="2" id="1932729"]Thanks, you made me realize that the program to be downloaded there at Stardock Central is NOT Impulse.[/quote] [e digicons]^_^[/e] well I'm happy to have helped you the program you're searching for is StarDock Central (SDC) which (in case you still did not find it) is around here : https://www.stardock.com/products/sdcentral/

It all depends on a lot of parameters. First and foremost the available quantity of memory on video card, doesn't mean that it's a good video card.Not only a good amount is probably preferable, but the type of video card must also be a good one. Now ... how good it needs to be I don't really now. What I know though is that even with a 8800GTS512 on an immense galaxy which have a lot of orbiting ships + this very mod and at 1280x1024 + 4xAA + all options turned to the max I tend to hav

[quote who="kryo" reply="11" id="1931629"] That was not possible because Kalypso did not have the rights to DL at the time (they since bought them from Paradox and are going to be doing such a triple-bundle).[/quote] between what's possible, and what should be done ... I just find that developping such a specific version with all the development overhead just for commercializing in europe and also this late (it's nearly three years old already) ... seems a weird choice to

[quote who="JustinSane4" reply="1" id="1931343"]You're right, I shouldn't have acted like an offhand comment from a developer on the forums was company policy. That was stupid of me - my apologies. And I completely agree that a 20k price tag to update a dead end delivery system so that a relatively small number of gamers could download what is already a free, content rich update you were under no obligation to deliver is much, much too high. I'll have to see what can be done

[quote who="Draconis123" reply="9" id="1931467"] Quoting whismerhill, reply 8in the end, I wonder if the development overhead from EU was worth it ... For me it was, I dont have the internet connection to be able to download whole games so purchasing the hard copy was the only option, and stardock dont do a expansion packs pac like EU. Even though it seems to have confused some people i am really happy they did it. Thanks heaps Sole and

[quote who="kryo" reply="3" id="1929722"] Stardock, PLEASE fix this -- I don't want to lose all my templates by reinstalling. Reinstalling will not affect your personal settings or ships in My Games\GC2*. Talking with the people who handle Impulse stuff though, it seems that a reinstall is indeed waht is needed in order to fix this issue (it's a result of stuff that had to be done for SDC in the past).[/quote] I don't want to be a bother but I would like to know if that's at

[quote who="GCFL" reply="7" id="1928997"]You know, throughout history, conquering armies always absorbed the tech from the defeated foe. The attempt to assimilate foreign fighters into the conquering army often proved difficult due to difference in language, culture, etc. This meant that you almost never saw a barbaric warrior fight as a native barbaric warrior in the Roman army for example. It was also difficult to train that barbaric warrior into a modern Roman solder.

At this time Impulse can work in offline mode. You only need to be online for the initial install and set up fo Impulse. After that you are fine to use it with out internet connection for th

I think it depends on how it is handled but I'm not in favor of national units only why ? because if it follows a little MoM heritage then what will happen you conquer a dwarven city with your dark elves magician armies and then can produce dark elf units in this dwarven city O_o bad idea in my book... what I see possible is that high level units might be restricted by your "home" race, since the dwarf hates dark elves you wouldn't have a

well keeping in mind that I'm as pissed as everyone else for the "no SDC support" that said I think the gamer's bill of rights is a project ... nowhere did stardock said that they were perfect in every move and that all their games followed the famous gamer's bill of rights .. example : AFAIK, stardock doesn't reimburse galciv2 buys : 1. Gamers shall have the right to return games that are incompatible or do not function at a reasonable level

[quote who="ozo" reply="5" id="1928375"]And please tell me Elemental doesn't require that monstrous program and that it can be patched without it....[/quote] well... they already said that SDC was going to be dropped, and since Elemental is very early in development... it should require impulse for its updates... though on the plus side ... impulse should get a lot more polish by the time Elemental gets out As a comparison, Impulse reminds me of ATI CCC
