Reply to Feature request - insane galaxy size in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

There is a custom map called 'Epic Galaxy' (Could be Collectors Edition only, not sure.) That one is roughly 3 times the size of the real galaxy. My computer crashed while loading it as it ran out of memory I could just see the mini map and well it looked about 4?! times the size of gigantic. 3 times the size of the real galaxy.

Tough, they're coming back. Skyjack, starbases DO move and they do kill things. At least in GC1. And now they're coming back. The reason I'm sounding so sure of myself is because every time I've asserted the matter before, I've then been told it's wrong by a Stardock member. So here's hoping Brad says "Actually, Terror Stars suck, let's not do that". But if you look

GENIUSES: (from another post) #23 by Frogboy [Stardock] Wednesday, June 14, 2006 8:17 PM Tactical combat won't be added to GalCiv II. The poll is with regards to a future sequel (ala a GalCiv III). Also, there would be an option to make it totally optional. So people who don't want to tactical combat need not worry.

Reply to French translation for GalCiv2 in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

If the French version ever gets finished make sure you have a French flag for the race symbol. It can be the usual white flag, or you can just a have a picture of a bunch of frogs heading for the hills. Awesome! <img src="http://images.stardock.com

Reply to Feature request - insane galaxy size in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Large maps cause extreme slowdown, that's why they don't go any bigger. Maybe on your machine mine laughs at Gigantic galaxies. I WANT BIGGER GALAXIES!

If combat is turn-based, I'm out.

Reply to I wonder why the explosions are so fancy in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Dude, low-end does not equate to obsolete, or antique. If you're talking about a computer it does. Saying that all games with eye candy are bad games is innacurate at best . Their are a lot of great-looking games which are GOOD games out there now. Sounds like low-end sour grapes to me. Fancy people want graphics and w

Reply to REMOVE ALL GAME CHEATS!!! [EDITED] in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I don't know about that. I think, personally, that cheaters have a very specific circumstance they want to experience. We have full jobs, social obligations, and life in general to deal with. Why should we game through hours of turns, only to have our enjoyment screwed up by the game not going in a direction we enjoy? There is no need to denigrate cheaters, as long

EDIT: how could you guys have missed it? It's only a huge button at the bottom of the combat viewer? Wow. I can't believe how many people didn't know this. I got it day one! RANT: "Hey SD. Can the ship "nodding" be modded out. To me it's the most annoying aspect of the game. Especially on Large and Huge ships, watching them wiggle and nod really kills the immersion. The larger

Reply to AI "surrenders" to another CIV and the reaction of anyone with reason in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I had two races surrender to me in my current game. One was an ally, we were fighting an enemy and he just gave up and suurendered to me. Later, I was fighting another civ and they surrendered to me. I liked this and both surrenders felt logical at the time.

Reply to What does Creativity Do? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

For instance, last game I remember it occuring, I was researching Chaff. When I discovered Chaff, I also discovered Smart Chaff (the next in the Chaff line). This is NOT CREATIVITY in action. What you describe there is RESEARCH OVERRUN, and you get this all the time with no CREATIVITY selected. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/s
