[quote]Wow, this is so odd, I never even ticked the Disable Mods feature, so naturally, I didn't check it. Apologies and thanks for the input guys, Ian [/quote] I believe that mods are disabled by default. If you didn't click anything then of course they wouldn't show up.
[quote]thank you iam now 1.8 [/quote] You should be at 1.8c. A new patch was just recently released to fix a few bugs.
Influence Starbases boost your influence independantly, they don't really need a planet nearby to do their thing. But the range of an influence base is limited. If you click on one, you'll see a circle around it. This is the only area that is affected by that base, it's influence won't expand past that. So if you're trying to flip a planet, you have to make sure the base is properly positioned in order to have an effect. Incidentally, another use for influence bases that alot of people
there are stand alone patches that can be found on this site No they aren't. The only way to get the patches is to go through Stardock Central.
Thanks, though this won't make it easy for me to get the XP. So much for customer convenience. I guess I'm not going to be in a big hurry to get it, there's plenty of other games coming out soon and I already have some that I haven't played yet.
I'd still like to get an definitive answer to my question. Kryo? Anyone?
I was able to get Dark Avatar through a retail outlet by purchasing GalCiv 2 Gold. Will there be a "Platinum" version that will include the new XP? I'd really like to get my hands on the expansion, but purchasing a download only version is problematic for me for various reasons.
There's plenty of room on a map to create fleets in, so why would you even want to use a resource for that purpose? protection? So build a fleet point one square away from the resource then move the ships over when the fleet is complete. If you're trying to tell the computer to do two things at once, of course it's going to get confused. Even a human would under those circumstance, unless he/she was psychic a
Well yeah, that's what Constructors do. As soon as they reach a resource they'll automatically try to build a star base. Just don't use those locations for anything else. There's plenty of room on a map to create fleets in, so why would you even want to use a resource for that purpose?
Scrolling with GalCiv2 is painfully slow no matter what kind of computer you're using. The best way to get around on your map is to grab it with left click and move.
I'm using Vista 32 bit and a Nvidia 7950GT with the 158 drivers and I'm not having any problems at all.
You have to create it, it doesn't exist by default. Try just hitting the Default button in the Options menu, that seems to work. Otherwise do it manually.
Yes, you can set up rally points for your ships to go to. Just press your P key or look for the icon on your interface that says Add Rally Point. If you have one set, then you can assign each planet to it which will auto-launch your ships for you. When a planet is selected, look for a yellow button on the interface, just a bit off to the left hand side. This will let you select any rally point you want for that planet, they'll all be listed in the box that appears. With a rally point selected, a
I mean is I can't or don't have a mods file for DA You have to create one then transfer the files there.
How am I meant to know whether to focus on lasers, missiles, armour etc etc etc? Just keep an eye on what everyone else is using. In most games, there will be one, maybe two, weapon types that are primarily used by the other races. The same goes for defences. So if everyone is going for missile weapons and using laser defences, you can focus on point defence to protect your ships against their weapons, and you select anything but lasers in order to attac
1. Does the computer use the available ability points for the players controlled by him, or should I do it for him? The computer does indeed allocate the remaining points when the game starts up. 2. If I want the players controlled by the comp to be something else then federalists, should I do it myself, or the comp would be able to choose? The computer races will also select their own politic
It has to be something outside of the game causing this as I use the same resolution with no problems at all. Have you tried updating your video drivers?
- Logistics cost of medium hull 5 (4), - Logistics cost of large hull 7 (6), Those numbers were in place long before patch 1.6. I was seeing that way back in default DA and thinking that they had the manual wrong.
freaky, were not the only ones out there! Well that's kind of a given. With billions of stars within billions of galaxies, the odds that we're the only sentient life in the universe is highly unlikely. There's bound to be others out there.
I liked the old SSI AD&D Gold Box games, since they are Turn Based (as they should be). Ah yes, I've played all the way through from Pool of Radiance to Secrets of the Silver Blades several times on my Commodore 64. I never got into Pool of Darkness though, I didn't think it was all that good.
There's currently about half a dozen threads on this subject, it's a well known problem with the latest patch release. Next time, maybe you should look at some of the current posts to see if it has already been mentioned before you create yet another thread about the issue you're having.
As for me I have all of you beat, I'll be 50 in a month's time. Then you better re-read some of the replies. Yeah well, my eyes aren't what they used to be I guess.
Since we're almost double the age of the "average" gamer, I think that qualifies us as old timers. Actually that's not true. I saw some stats on the subject and the average age of gamers is about 30. As for me I have all of you beat, I'll be 50 in a month's time.
You did know, the creator of RON came from the Civ team, and he said he made RON to be like a RTS version of Civilizations. Ignorance is bliss, no? Not ignorance at all. He was in fact the person who started out as head programmer for Civ 3 but left part way through to form his own company and make RoN. He was also the one in charge of Alpha Centauri. I base my observations on having played them both. RoN is nothing like Civ. Yes they both have the
can i change it to make me start in the middle? Sure, just keeping hitting CTRL-N. You'll end up in the middle eventually.
