Well, to be clear, I'm hardly a new player, hence my frustration. (So, the AI cheats in this version? What ever happened to Stardock's pride in having AI that was smart and didn't need to cheat? I thought their whole reason for going 64 bit this time was to make it even smarter.) I think that the bottom line from what I'm reading above is that instead of an open game where you can play the leader you want to play, it
I really don't know what happened to me. I played hundreds and hundred of hours of GalCiv2 and it became one of my favorite games ever. Then Elemental came out, and I never figured it out. Oh well - not every game works for everyone. Now this game has been out more than a year, and I've successfully won one game. One. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Even on the easiest level, no matter what I do, every other civ gangs up on me, declar
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! (Sorry...I couldn't resist.)

Damnit....I'd done such a good job putting this game out of my mind for the time being....
Does anyone know when this v1.5 is supposed to come out? Are we talking days or months?

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="6" id="3415715"]Add: some of us almost always play as "good" [/quote] Yeah, he knows that...hence why he said in the article that no one wants to play as evil and I felt the need to mention... Never mind - at least we've completed the circle now. ;)
LOL....okay, well....at least I'm not the only one. The GalCiv III news made me decide to dust this one off and give it one last try to see why everyone says FE:LH is so great. Put a bunch of hours in before the update, now the save game is unplayable, just like Stridefar 's and OP's. I, also, have never managed to finish a game - from the Alpha of WoM thorugh FE:LH.

I can't count the number if times I got the "We've thought about it and decided that it's time for you to go" message from them before anyone else - Drengin included.

Wow, that was some ugly formatting on that page [e digicons]:grin:[/e] At least it had a bunch of good content. I especially liked what was said about 64-bit. We really should move to that as a community, because 32-bit is only holding us back at this point. Kudos to Brad for saying to hell with it and just doing it already. EDIT: And I'd also like to point out to Brad that some of us almost always play as evil [e
[quote who="TanC" reply="188" id="3410298"]Yes, thanks to Frogboy for the talk. Even though we might not see a non-Steam version at least we know that Stardock is thinking about alternatives.[/quote] Yeah - he could just as easily be like most companies and either ignore us or say, "Because i said so. No. Shut up - discussion over." But, that's what's also always set SD apart from other companies. He hears the reasons why some of you aren't happy
Meh...played it a bit but quickly lost interest. No substance to the story, loot is largely inconsequential, and the only way to make your character look different (one of the cornerstones of dungeon-crawler genre games) is to pay for it.

[quote who="NitroX infinity" reply="5" id="3407028"] Strange. How can the Snathi become a major race when in every game I played, I wiped them out? [/quote] They might look like squirrels, but they reproduce like bunnies.
I'd ping [email protected]. If anyone would know, they would. (double check the address on the site, but I think that's it.)
[quote who="satoru1" reply="95" id="3406975"]That said, sometimes more money can be more of a curse than a blessing.[/quote] Yep, it is. That's why I was exercising caution earlier about waiting to see what Star Citizen eventually puts out. I'm a backer and I'm optimistic, but man, the potential for it to crash and burn is high.
I'd actually not mind that - or at least if there was an option to add them to sandbox games. [quote who="Ashbery76" reply="1" id="3406949"]All cheese should be cut and that includes bad tech jokes.[/quote] Huh?
[quote who="teh_g" reply="23" id="3406862"]Edit: It totally did. Well derp, looks to just take a little bit.[/quote] lol...for mine, there was a glitch and it took two days. Right when I thought it wasn't happening, BING, there it was. Basically, I think it reads our mind and messes with us.
[quote who="Alstein" reply="90" id="3406849"]Where did that $20mil estimate come from? That sounds like (my guess on) the budget for GalCiv III (At least the base game) in its entirety. Am I about to get a lecture from Stanley Whitefin, the Science Shark?[/quote] People brought up Star Citizen earlier, which was a complete run-away success for crowdfunding and has raised over $20M and counting. Brad was tongue-in-cheek saying, "If I had that much, I'd
[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="12" id="3406698"] Remake of the Civilization styled game called Call to Power! Perfect for Stardock.[/quote] If we're going to mine that area, lets take a step closer to Sid Meier and grab Alpha Centauri. (which I've always considered GalCiv to be kind of a spiritual spin-off of anyway.)

I'm not that familiar with how Steam interacts with Steamworks, however.[/quote] I think what Gaunathor's concern is one of order - you're booting the game, then killing the client, showing that Steam is required to run the game. He'd like to be able to just load the game without having to have the Steam client start at all. E
