I'm not even sure the GC2 Forums have a dedicated moderator anymore...is Peace Phoenix still around?? Iv'e noted quite alot of spam of late and when its posted on wincustomize, or elemental, it seems to be dealt with swiftly, but on the GC2 side of the fence they seem to slip by. Oh and Don, what i do is click report, next to the give karma button and then select "Posted Spam". As i am given to understand that generates a system email that i know Kryo at the very least sees.</

I'm using 3.6.25, and like others will never move to the new releases. I was using IE Tab but found it was the cause of my memory leaks, so i booted it and have not had an issue since. Dump IETab and run FF for a while, i'd be willing to bet you end up running fine.

[quote who="JCD-Bionicman" reply="15" id="3071676"]The concept of midichlorians isnt so bad. In fact, it explains why some of the most iconic star wars character ended up dying. Obi Wan, Qui-Gon, arguably some of the wisest of Star Wars series ended up dying despite their wisdom and connection to the force. If midichlorians didnt exist, and ones powers in the force were only weighed on their wisdom and spiritual connection to the force... well the sith would never win.[/quote] It'

Seen those video's before. It's all just one persons opinion (though i agree with him about the prequel trilogy)...he did some LOTR ones as well, and in that i think he was full of shit. George Lucas should never have scripted the prequels. Donfiled hits the nail on the head here. Look at the classic trilogy, story by Lucas but not the script, and those movies have some wicked dialouge, clearly one of the features of the classic trilogy. Hand in hand with that, Lucas's

Guys, can anyone recall how to, or the thread about, forcing GC2 to use 3GB ram? I'm getting OOM on my latest game, and iv'e long forgotten how to force it to use 3GB. It sure is frustrating to know i have 16GB in my rig and GC2 can't use it...if ever there is a GC3, i sure hope Brad makes it a native 64bit game. My latest game is the best yet! Usual map specs, all labs, but i set the AI to friendly and so on March 1 sold every bit of tech i had, apart from weapons,

Sorry Motti, didn't understand what you were saying! [e digicons];P[/e] And in their infinite wisdom, the Aust govt made many rulings as far as gun ownership goes. To own a gun you must get a firarms licence, to do that you either have to be a secuirty guard, who's employer has submitted to the police that you require a weapon on the job. A rural land owner producing goods (a Primary Producer), so you can take care of your land (pigs, rabbits and the like). Or,

The Roamer Clans have unveiled their Ground Assault ship, the Hurricane Class. Developed for a swift campaign, it was first used in the later stages of the Arcean Offensive, and helped bring the Arceans under full roamer control. Often seen in fleets with the Predator Class, the Hurricanes have high speed and size on their side, boasting room for over one thousand brave Roamer Elite Infantry at high warp velocity's. <img src="http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/9964/topgze.png" alt

Reply to Twilight: Nameless planets in custom race's system in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You can edit the names directly in the customerace.xml which will be located in your: Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar folder. This may or may not fix your bug, sounds like you may have messed with the planet naming in the xml previously and might have borked it a little. Create any other custom race and save it (different name to what you are using) and compare the two to see if your current file has errors.

The Roamer Clans Predator class warship is the hunter/killer of the cosmos. Designed to approach with speed and clear the way for the following transports, she is lightly but fearfully armed. Outfitted with Psyonic Beam Weapons specifically for the current Arcean dispute, her high speed means she can approach unsuspecting worlds and clear away all but the most robust defenders. The Predator class is tested in battle with zero losses to date and has been at the forefront of all major i

Most end turn bugs tended to be linked to a ship with left over moves forcing the endturn to hang. Try clicking Find and cycling through all your ships and make sure they have no moves left before hitting turn to complete the Power Plant.
