Reply to Success... new races in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

well I'd like to see them as I'm curious as to what the pics were. maybe you could just link to them or dunno. and dmo4, its not really a good idea to just broadcast your email in broad view. I know most ppl here are ones that won't do something bad to your email, but you never know.

hmm, did you look at what the fleet is made of? the second part about the AI advantages could be from a racial bonus and possibly one of those buildings that increase logisics. the thing about the bunch of stuff on a tiny hull. with enough miniturization, a racial bonus like the Yor have, and probably a few of those buildings that increase miniturization, and maybe alot of those random events that give you extra miniturization capability could allow that to happen. Under the right con

I saw it in my last game which was 1.2 full, although I didn't use it myself. like Darth Griffin said, if you did a saved game after the patch, then thats probably why.

Reply to Stardock, seriously, dont you think you forgot something in 1.2 "final"? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hey, it's a big galaxy, there could be a real race out there somewhere that resembles a smiling hamburger. There was one in Ascendancy. Well, you couldn't really tell if it was smiling or not. And if you could, would that indicate friendship or hostility in their minds? Or nothing at all, because maybe they just react to chemical changes in thei

kewlness! also, what about putting the new fleet formations from the example mod into the main game folder, how should I do that properly and should I delete the old ones that are currently in the fleets folder? although it could be a better idea to move them into a backup folder.

I just click skip for the battle screen and there is an option to not show the battles. they don't neccesarily have to change the buttons that are on the bottom of the battlescreen viewer. and yea there will always be some ppl figuring out ways around an AI, no matter how good it is. it's just human nature and the limitations of the AI. and unlike Rome: Total War, the AI has to deal with moving in all directions.

Reply to Is anyone surprised at the latest poll result? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

well I agree that the battle screen could be made to look more realistic, more like something you'd see in Star Wars or Battleship Galacta. I'm not for something as realistic as in a movie, I mean that they move tactically and not drift all over the place.

Reply to Ship Designer, Core Ships, & Hull Classes in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Core ships are not good. Go by the hull sizes, tiny would usually be fighters, small would be corvettes and medium would be cruisers. You even get an in game movie when you roll out your first medium hull ship. small ships can also be heavy fighters, large hulls would be the destroyers, the huge hulls would be the battleships and the capital sh

Reply to Options Question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

yea, you can manually adjust an opponents intelligence level, although its either doing it manually and the difficulty level changes to reflect the overall difficulty you are creating or just go and change the difficulty level and the intelligence changes accordingly. in short, yes you can manually change the opponents intelligence to different levels in a new game.

even though I do play the civ series which has MP capability, I've never done MP with that and so I honestly don't really care about MP in turn based games and probably wouldn't do MP even if it was included.

Reply to Is anyone surprised at the latest poll result? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I am, however, surprised at how poorly multiplayer did. I thought it would be at least #2. Maybe multiplayer didn't do so well because we're all getting used to the single player only style and would like additional features to support that more than multiplayer... Or most of us figure we've pushed so hard for multiplayer that it will be a feature no matter wha

I had autosave off, so I dunno why it froze, and it could be because I clicked too fast. whatever it was, it was a fluke for me.
