Invoice in Euro but billed in USD ??? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

First, I'm sorry if that's not the right forum to post that to but I'm kind of lost with all the subforums and everything for such a subject and since the games I bought were galciv2 expansions ... Back on subject, as the title says, my invoice is written in Euro everywhere though when checking out with my bank, I'm billed in USD... It's not a big problem in itself, but it's strange since the invoice was fully written in Euro I thought I would be billed in Euro.<br

well there's only a handful of techs which are specific and CAN be traded by default if one really wants it's quite easy to mod them as untradable [e digicons]^_^[/e]

Reply to Drath War Profitering Too Powerfull? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

tech brokering is an option that prevent (or allows) those who have not actively researched the tech to trade it aka : race A research a tech trade it to B, B can or can't trade it to C this is nice since it prevents the player to abuse tech trading by buying and reselling to others for a net profit, and also at the same time it prevents the computer from trading a tech you have given them between themselves if you want to help a particular ra

1. Not at all + I never ever saw the computer use any ship you give him, perhaps after a lot of turns but I doubt it 2. by wonder I guess you're talking about galactic achievements, in general they tend to but that's not the case everytime Tir Quan Training boost all your civilization soldiering but "Omega Research Center" only boost the planet's research 3. yes

Reply to Question about Starbases in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Trade modules on ships are for building freighters which themselves are for establishing trade routes with other races see the trade tutorial from the main menu for more details. To get a starbase trade module on a starbase you need to build a constructor ship which you will then deploy as an economic starbase, then with other constructors you add new starbase modules and among them since it's an economic starbase there should be the trade module, if you got the tech for it.

GC2 map editor in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I ran into some issue recently Since I'm not satisfied with the number of habitable planets (yeah I don't find the number of planets in immense galaxies that overwhelming as it should be for my tastes), I thought about trying out to build a map, well the TA map editor works but to put hundreds of planet by hand is quite hard, more so since I would have to generate manually hundreds of random numbers for PQ & such....

well the campaign is ... if you like or want to know the story behind the dread lords and such ... the main part of the game is the "simple" standard game anyway. The campaign is just a succession of standard games with preset maps, settings and objectives and a story to unfold ... that's all there is to it Personnaly I never played the campaign of DL in the whole time I had it, and when I bought DA and TA (recently) I just cheated my way through DL & DA cam

Reply to Drath War Profitering Too Powerfull? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

diplo is the easiest way to win most powerful trait probably so since war profitering is based on diplo and since you also had the altarians use their superability for your profit ... in my current game with drath tech tree and 1% war profitering and 1 war (as far as I know, the galaxy is immense ...) I get 150bc/week which is about 10% of my turnover ... on the other hand if it stops too soon I will have lost money since I launched the war but without war profiteering

don't know what to suggest except buying a new graphic card ... the good news, a cheap graphic card should be enough for galciv2 needs (probably around 50$, for sure below 100$) the bad news, I don't know exactly which kind of model to recommend in this case, so I prefer to hold off Ho and did you try out the different checkboxes in the video settings ? there's quite a lot out there...

Reply to ShackNews Interview with Brad Wardell (Part 1) in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Well I have to agree with those who said that galciv2 was quite buggy on release Though I wouldn't be as quick to judge. After all, galciv was an outsider and support in the following years has been quite amazing to say the least. So in the end there's far far worse on the bug side. There's also far better but often it's not at all the same budget... (even if budget doesn't fix bugs all by itself ...) @DrSpock 15 years ago there was <span style="text-decoratio

Reply to All Economy Strategy in Strategies Stardock Forums

nice strategy post but people might want to precise with what expansion they are playing because for example I was checking out the farms on wiki and they got quite nerfed in TA, you can still use the 1 farm per planet but for that you need the farm techs (if you want to get around 16b pop that is)

Well I like to offset the problematic abilities myself (that doesn't mean it's a good strategy though [e digicons];)[/e] ). As for the drath for example I like to make a custom Drath with exactly the same things everywhere except I add in my custom abilities after that and update the description to something like the "Dreth" (for example) is an offshoot of the drath, which is smaller since size isn't anymore an advantage in the whole technological environment they live in.
