If it has happened for you in other games as well, then it is very likely to be system related. As the folks above have mentioned, a video driver update, a Direct X update, or a video card upgrade are by far your best bets for correcting the issue.
Ahh - I had that happen to me once, but I didn't make the connection that it happened after I had exited the game and gone back in. If that's the case, that is certainly something that I would like to see changed... wink wink, nudge nudge...
Great post and great idea, AdmiralZ! I'd love to see something like this implemented as well... it always bums me out when the survey ship abruptly loses it's importance, due to all of the anomalies being gone. And in the great majority of games, the 'all ships can survey' planetary improvement has very, very little value. This kind of a cha
that completly negated the argument that tiny ships get more shots and wipe out the enemy earlier ...? Small ships are typically a good deal cheaper. And if you have a group of small ships attacking a large ship, you can have multiple shots fired before the big ship has the chance to retaliate (and you're only losing one little shi
I'm honestly astonished that more people haven't asked for this, but my list is one feature long. *Multiplayer* would be fabulous. That was the main thing that kept me from purchasing GC1, and almost stopped me from getting GC2 (although I'm now very glad that I did). I love being able to play these kinds of games with my friends, and that would be the single thing that I would most like to see added. I'm hopeful that it can be added to GC2, rather than us having to wait for another generati
Personally, at the point in the game that you've described, I like to try an influence-based strategy. If you have any neighboring nations that are particularly close by (particularly if you are sharing star systems), try building up a handful of influence starbases and 'persuading' them to join your side. I get a kick out of subverting worlds in that fashion, while still playing the role of 'the nice guy' diplomatically, and while still bu
Yes, you can have a combination diplomacy/influence win. If you are able to influence all of an empire's planets to join you, then that empire will cease to be (probably my favorite victory tactic, by the way). So long as you have alliances with all of the remaining races, you will then achieve a diplomatic victory.
