How can a "right of passage treaty", which is just a piece of paper, change the laws of physics to slow down ships? the same way speed limit signs on the highway keep you from taking your '07 mustang to 140 mph. Interstellar speed limit signs mean nothing if there's no physical enforcement by an asset of that civ. So, you break the speed limit within sensor range of an asset of that civ, then they get to decide if th
Thank you, it works fine in DA. The mod is a simple one that replaces a file and creates a backup in case you want to restore the glare feature. I don't play Metaverse, so I can't verify, but the readme says it should be OK for that as well.
How can a "right of passage treaty", which is just a piece of paper, change the laws of physics to slow down ships? You'd damned well better have a convincing rationale for that one. It just doesn't make sense. Actually, the Super-Isolationist slowdown doesn't make sense either, unless it's enforced, for example, with military starbases that implement the slowdown technology (improved interdiction beams available as a part of the Super-Isolationist ability, etc.), and which can be destr
Is there some way to remove the minimap "swoosh" tan-colored area so that it doesn't obscure the map?
Wow, I never noticed the "Old" button before. Has it always been there, or was that a recent change? That, and turning off auto-upgrade, will help me a lot!
whose constructive curmudgeonliness is a legend on this forum Now that's an elegant compliment. As a journeyman curmudgeon myself, it is a pleasure to watch someone create masterworks of the Craft.
Poisoned Pill tech trades wouldn't work if everyone were just able to build planetary improvements with outdated technology instead of being forced to build at the current tech level.
There's a difference between "useless" and "pointless". I use fertility clinics too, but hideously expensive Galactic Achievements or super projects that are worse than standard available planetary improvements because they don't affect "base" values are pointless.
Anyhow, the Secret Police Center and Galactic Resort are impressively pointless. It has been a while since this was last discussed. Are these still "impressively pointless", or have they been fixed?
Doesn't approval directly effect loyalty, or at least strongly so? Having the slider down to 21% would seem to make it easier for your enemies to flip your planets.
If your opponent produces a galactic wonder then you trade tech for the planet. Did they ever change how reluctant any civ is to sell their own planets? I've never successfully bought a planet, but it's been a long time since I even tried, because it was so discouraging to be told No every single time.
So you can reduce the hideously inflated price of a planet by culture bombing it first? Well, that's something, at least.
What does "NBD b/c" mean? That doesn't seem to be "normal" leetspeak.
You know, when I first read that the Super Isolationist could colonize "barren worlds" I thought it meant all those many Class 0 planets. Ah, well.
I'll see yer hobbitses and raise you one Loituma Girl
By the way, I found a way to block IntelliTXT ads in Firefox: http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/ (a scripting Firefox extension) http://www.fibble.org/archives/cat_greasemonkey.html (a JS script that does the job, at least until the bad guys change the method they use to serve ads)

The "my little brother ate my homework" excuse has been done to death. It's a common dodge that scammers use when they get caught, for example.

Discussion of carriers in GC2 is spam only to people who don't like the idea. To true believers, it's Wagyu tenderloin steak.
I'd calm down by playing Space Rangers 2 for a while, then start a new GC2 game at a lower difficulty level. It's better for the ole blood pressure, you know. heh.
I'd even be willing to buy multiple starports if that's what it takes to produce more than one ship per turn per planet.
My favorite "peaceful strategy" is to buy combat ships and transports from the other civs and send them out on good will tours. Of course, I'm one of those wimps who isn't good enough at the game to play above "Normal". heh.
Or you could wait a year before upgrading to Vista. I've read that games perform slower on Vista than XP anyway.
"4X" (explore, expand, exploit, exterminate) Ah, there we go. I'd always wondered what 4X meant.
The worst thing about the console wars is the exclusivity of some game titles being married to particular platforms. I want to play the Soul Calibur series of games on my PC. I know that's selfish, but there it is.
