Not implying anything, but I know that since X year (I think it's 2002, or maybe 1998), the re-election rate for congressmen and/or senator (this is pure memory stats, so I may be off) is about 95%, because the said-elected people uses their power to influence political maps/campaign financement/public adresses. And if I remember well, at the beggining of
There were thousands of protesters, bordering on rioting, during Bush's procession to the white house right after the first time he was elected. The major news casts chose not to show you this. Bush cannot run for another term. The power behind bush is the same as the power behind the media which is the same as the power behind Hilary Clinton. It does not matter who you vo
#101 Morghenes To prevent such abuses to happen democracies create laws that impose limits on what a governmant is allowed to do. I believe any government will use the instruments it has available in order to gain power or at least to ramain on the throne. If you don't impose limits than the government will use it's freedoms to remain in power, even if it gets its ha
First of all, Faster-Than-Light travel is likely impossible, according to Einstein. Therefore all our nifty space movies, shows and games are a moot point. Let's hope ol' Albert was in error! However, the problem of gravity, or the lack therof is already present. Humans lose muscle and BONE without gravity. It also causes other problems. At present, we have no way of making "artificial gravity" but one of the foremost theories is about using centrifugal force; a la BABY

Skyjack you could at least be polite about it. I never read whatever thread that is! How was I impolite?
Yep, same here.

I would PAY for ships that behave realistically instead of "bobble-heading". And more realistic weapon and defence animations in the battle viewer.(like weapons NOT passing through other ships; if a weapon hits an unintended ship then THAT ship takes damage)

The Ai forming alliances has absolutely nothing to do with Alliance Victory. I form alliances and I ONLY play conquest victory. Alliances help you win, no matter which victory condition you are going for.
You mean "MORALE"? I've had 100% with 80% taxes bringing in 15,000 per turn (4000 max trade!)
there were normal people fighting for what they believe in the only way they know how. This statement says it all. Flayed_one: OMG are you KIDDING ME? "Normal people" is that what THEY told YOU? Normal people DON'T go to terrorist training camps and learn how to make bombs, hijack airliners, use poison gas, etc. THESE ARE PSYCHOPATHS, brai
He's illiterate. FROGBOY said there will be tac combat in GC III. Forget tac in GC II, though.
So where are ANY examples of ANY AMERICAN being spyed on? There are none. A climate of fear? I seem to vaquely remember some savages crashing two planes, loaded with innocent women, children and men, some with their throats already slit, into two buildings (one of which had two of my friends in it), killing almost 3000 people who were simply going to work or travelling. Also the domestic wiretaps are only going after international calls to KNOWN terror-connected regions a

Sir, you have no idea what you are talking about. No one is intruding on my privacy before or after 9/11. Please,I invite you to give a SPECIFIC exam
YEESH. Yes these forums have annoying problems but when faced with THAT alternative I'll just shut my mouth and endure it.
I just wonder how this topic started in a GAL CIV 2 FORUM?) Anyway. I liked some people's interventions more than some others. (usually 50/50 between those with similar political views and those with opposed). True, America is.. wait a second. Why calling the U.S.A. "america", as if ONE country was defining the whole goddamn continent?! I don't call t

If your'e evil, build the Mind Control Center... That thing works wonders! By the time you are able to even build the MCC, you are ususally not struggling anyway.
I have water cooled video cards (two nvidia 7800 gtx's) and a water cooled FX-57 processor. Not cheap parts. I wouldn't overclock without the "insurance" of water cooling.
He needs to go back to XBOX and play Mariocart. The $300.00 computer Mommie bought him probably won't run the game well.
Good riddance! Thanks for adding your money to the pool that will be used to create Dark Avatar and GC-III !!!!!!!! BUH BYE!
#13 by Selous Hey skyjack, how about you share some of your expertise with the rest of us so that we can also create uber efficent trade networks i guess i started this thread to find out WHY the figgures are what they are rather than just because See Post #11, READ it. Says it all, really it does.
Troll.
Hmmm, i can see this is devolving into nonsense, but ill respond to 2 things. /quote guess you never heard of the massacre in new york at about 2500 people /quote I grew up in New York, I lost friends in 9/11, murdering/massacring people in Afganistan isnt going to bring them back, your flippant revenge based response is what has gotten 2500 MORE amer

Really? That's surprising. I just bought this game online because of the solid reputation Stardock has of supporting its customer base. So I am a little surprised to hear this, and lack of an updated manual. Knock yourself out and TRY to get a list of shortcuts. SD refuseds, for some reason to post one.
