Reply to Is there a galactic invasion event???? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Basicly the Antarans where much like the Precursors: An old, mighty race that has been there long before the younger races. They messed around with the galaxy and the beings in it and then decided to retreat to their own dimension. When the game progressed you got an event every now and then, telling you that a fleet of Antaran ships was en route to some planet. You had some turns time to mount a defense and their fleets where very tough in the beginning. However as the game progressed these bec

How could this be a bug if it's a tactic that's been used for thousands of years? You send a small strike force to attack with surprise, wipe out a larger number than you sent yourself, and then send in your main force, to preserve it. This is a strategy as old as war itself XD Because I thought of it this way: You throw some million tons of rock, at

dont need 100% at the start only need 1 person per colony ship to take a planet so population isnt the most important thing.

Funny, here is what I considered cheesy: If you have an enemy that gives your ground troops a tough fight (e.g. better soldiering/tech) and you want to take one of his heavy defended planets (15.000+ soldiers, maybe planetary defenses), you just send in a small invasion force to soften them up, before your main invasion. I usually use 1000 soldiers and the most damaging invasion "tactic" I have available. My invasion force gets toasted but usually takes at least half the enemies with them. Now m

I didn't know the collectors edition jewellery became available with 1.2, why did I pay extra for it in the first place then. grumble, grumble.

Reply to Hey how does one turn the Anti-alias option above 1x in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Do you have the most recent update installed? I had the described problems with the release version and the 1.1 patch. No textures if your countrysetting is not EN or something similar strange. With the new Patch 1.3beta, I don't experience these problems anymore (don't know about 1.2, never played it). If it's an issue with an old video card (as Darth Kryo mentioned) and you don't want to invest into a new video card: I find that the game is running very smoothly if you zoom out until
