destroying a colony should not destroy the planets' habitability; except for maybe certain situations Why on Earth wouldn't you want the ability to 'destroy' the planet's habitability? I think it's a great feature as it allows you to make the planet useless to your enemy. Sometimes a planet 'outlives' it's usefulness, or it could just be a matter of not wanting the enemy to have it. I can think of a dozen other reasons where bein

1) Large (spinal) weapons for large/huge hulls (which do massive damage, maybe firing much less often than smaller weapons) 2) Something better with Military starbases 3) destroying a colony should not destroy the planets' habitability; except for maybe certain situations

Reply to So where's my fog of war fix? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Wow again no fix... I have a very hard time believing it's that complicated of a fix. Star Dock will you please give us a solid realease date for a patch ? I know it's only been 5 days but im starting to think about going back to WOW which means I won't be playing DA i'd really not like that to happen . They are not releasing JUST 'cause you want it.

i see. well, it looks like your patch is out, so if you can arrange to download it, hopefully it'll manage to fix all your problems. Not.

Your FOW fix? Anyway, I temporarily got around it by starting a Gigantic game and CTRL-N-ing untill I was near the middle. This way MAYBE the fix will be out by the time I get to THAT edge of the map. It seems the FOW bug doesn't affect all edges, only one.

Reply to Devs - Please give us a hotfix - Fog of War in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I just restart and it goes away. What do you mean, you load from a save? Or do you restart the game? Because I've hit Ctrl-N a number of times and it still keeps coming back. Start a new game without CTRL-N. DOesn't work every time, but I can always get it to work. EDIT: upon further testing, I am now getting the error all the time now. Three tiles out from the edge, is always under Fog of War. Prett

I want to use two mods together: I have the folders KHSM and High Res Graphics Mod, I can just put the files in one or the other folder (KHSM and High Res Graphics Mod), and use THAT folder in-game? Thanks I've done just that. All I had to do was copy all the folders of the High-Res mod into my Default folder, which is where I had copied Kryo's mod previously. Everything's working just fine. <br/

It was this concept that sold me on buying the origional GC2 as it is not to often that you are allowed to play an uncrippled game for as long as you want without paying. That in itself is showing confidence in the product. Again, running to the defense. I myself saw the game at an Electronics Boutique, thought the concept was interesting, and bought it. I didn't see anything related to copy protection, or lack thereof. I bought

Reply to Survey -- Military starbases -- Do you use them? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

No I do not use them. I play on gigantic maps and I think they are a complete waste. In fact I never put any defence or attack on any of my starbases. I can see that they might be useful on a smaller map, but on a larger map they are a total waste. I prefer to use ships that can move. I put my ships at the edges of my territory and as my territory expands my ships move to the new borders. - Livonya Yeah I ag

Thanks kryo, that's what I'm running a 7950. So far no problems with my custom profile. I'll wait and see if Nvidia releases any more drivers. Though not really necessary, game runs at 75fps or more always. Whitecloak: can you share your settings here? thanks

It works the same for me in DL and DA. If I am in the COLONIES tab, with a planet highlighted, and I close it to the Galaxy map, I am now centered on THAT planet.
