Reply to Need Link To Crash Exception Procedures in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I have always had the autosave to each turn once we started to get OOM errors when trying to move thousands of ships to under the starbases each turn. Autosave every turn was also helpful for when you got the econ event and it finished. Just reload last save and 9 times out 10 it didnt end when hitting turn. I do really need to get playing some GC2 again though... :)

Reply to Need Link To Crash Exception Procedures in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Hi snark! I recall there being a program you had to run, smart ex?? i think it was called. But i think it had to running whilst you played and it captured the crash. Alternatively if you haven't started another game since the crash i think you could post up the debug.er file to the forums and try and Kryo to have a look at it. I don't recall if you could submit debug files to support or not..... It's just been too damn long.... ;)

Nice! Have to see how you go with Anno and hit up a MP game one day! I think i have endless space, never played it though...have to really get into some of the games i have and never looked at.

Hey Silver! Are you referring to the tech mod that stefan did? It was on the i-mod server iirc. I have that one and it fixed the trees for TA...not sure i have actually used it though, since i either play TA modded with my own Saga of the seven suns mod, or as the terrans...

I see some thought has gone into your ship designs! :p Thats one thing that derails my TotA games, i get too into designing ships and waste precious game hours in the shipyard rather than playing out the game! How's work mate? No rest for the wicked i assume!

UGH...NO! lol It is made by the same team who did the Settlers (if you know that game)...check out the link.. [url] http://store.steampowered.com/app/48240/?snr=1_7_15__13[/url] Evony was actually great fun, and i miss the teamwork we had in that game. For such a small playing crew we really threw a spanner in the works of that server, even to the point of being drafted into the biggest empire!

I've still hardly explored the unique tech trees, since mush of my gaming was on DA and i used TA for mods, hence my own custom tech trees. I'm really into Anno 2070 again atm, but i am keen on playing dom TA with either the Torians or the Yor, my two favorite races.

[quote who="Embird" reply="3392" id="3416838"]Just played one and found it much more difficult than I remember.[/quote] hehe, thats ok, i played a quick game a while ago on challenging, and got my ass kicked!! If you havent dusted off the game for a while, it can take a bit to get back into the swing of it!

[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="3386" id="3414717"]The game is so much more fun when not playing for score. My next game will have to be at a higher difficulty level, but I think I'm reaching a good balance. [/quote] Oh, absolutely! I found painful to be a great difficulty to play at for proper games. It pushes back at you but not so much that you need to resort to any of our old score tactics to be competitive. You're able to play at a modest pace and can play most any style

Hey guys!!! Great to see you all back, especially great to more Founders badges on ToE members!!! I just reinstalled GC2 and have been playing through the campaign, something i have never done. Figured i'd get to know the story for once! Will be fantastic to get the old gang together for some MP games of GC3!

Reply to Yor Starship Design Illustrated in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

Create our own hulls. All i needed to hear to be a happy camper!! From a pure lore standpoint, the Yor are my favorite race, so i'm glad to see this insight into them and their ships. I have always imagine the Yor to be a GC2 version of the Klikiss Robots (Kevin J Anderson fans know what im saying here). Thanks for sharing this abiessener, the karma train stops for you! :)

Reply to Sensors in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Sensors had no play on the fact the minors (and the AI on harder levels) knew where the resources were. This was hard coded, they simply knew. I do agree with the OP though that sensors in GC2 just didn't feel right. I mean, tech up to Sensors IV and build eyes of the universe and your done. I do believe a more passive system should be employed that factor your tech levels and location in space. I do not have a good solution to offer, but i'm sure it's being looke

Reply to Will crappy laptops be supported? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Given those specs, i'd say you will be fine for the most part. Turn down the graphics and limit your playing to the smaller maps (i wouldn't bother with gigantic or immense) and you should get some good game play. I'd say the campaign would be quite ok.

Yeah i looked for a place to start a tyranny thread, but the choices are limited. I'm sure if we start one and a suitable sub-forum is created Kryo would only be to happy to move it for us. I might see if i get the time over the weekend to create a new banner for us.
