Reply to slider control - please flame me in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

theres some really neat tips for economy management (through the sliders and some colony management) in here. What about some tips for beginner or so level? because I think I may start using that when I get the game for my B-Day in a few weeks because 'piece of cake' in the demo is extremely easy, I primarily use that level to fool around with the ship designer though. and the main tip about colonizing is to never colonize planets below 7 or 8 right? unless its a stragetic

Reply to Install Bonus Pack after 1.11 causes bugs ? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You should be fine with: Enable-GalCiv2-Collectors-Edition.exe What you SHOULDN'T be installing is: GalCiv2_10X_BonusPack_030806.exe The version number is right there in the filename. 1.11 includes all the changes from 1.0X I don't get it, why would the Galciv2_10X_Bonus pack cause problems? wouldn't the 1.11 patch

Reply to RELEASE: Kryo's Hull System Mod in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

so is the mod functional for 1.11? because I've heard that mods act wierd with the current patched version. I don't have the game yet as I'm getting it on my B-Day on June 2nd (and yes I know I'm saying that all over the place, lol).

Reply to question on my idea for a custom race in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I KNOW the demo doesn't have all the files on hand, thats why I'm asking. The 'what images to use' I'm still undecided on and I'm not worried about that as I'll come up with something. and can you link to the thread? I'm not sure where to find it and we can't do a search for authors

Reply to question on my idea for a custom race in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

and I'm planning on using a pic of army ants (either the African or the S. American ones) for the race leader pic, and I'm thinking of using some insectoid looking pic for the racial symbol. I haven't decided yet and will probably look at the many images available for d/l in the library. basically what I'm trying to ask is, would those racial abilities work well or would there be enough points for them.

question on my idea for a custom race in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I have an idea for a custom race to do when I get the full game, but I'm not sure how I'd apply the stats and all because I have the demo atm and going to get the game for my B-Day on June 2nd. here is the text copied from the GalCiv2 forum over on the Civilization Fanatics Center boards (thats civfanatics.com): well uh, heres an idea I have for a custom race, but not having the full game such as how many points I can allocate, I don't know exactly what I can do, alth

Reply to good-neutral-evil, tech choices? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

what other benefits for good and evil are there, besides the tech stuff, the armor for good side, weapons for the evil side. and I thought the Neutral guys also got some weapons/armor? sounds like Neutral is pretty much the best choice to use...

Reply to Galactic Guidebook - BROKE in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

yea, but the anomalies get sucked up FAST and so the survey ship is probably better converted to an exploration ship (probably a fast one) or some warship like Meglobob said.

Reply to Add coloring feature to ship design in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I dunno about decals, they would be hard to see unless you are in shipbuilder mode and on the gamescreen, they'd be difficult to impossible to see on smaller hulls, on large and huge ships, it might be easier. but yea, having custom color stuff sounds cool although I'm ok with the current color schemes.

Reply to STICKY: SHOW OFF your cool ship designs in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

really cool TheLawyer although, I think the prongs on your Millenium Falcon are a little long because from what I remember, the prongs were a bit shorter. as for the colors, in the demo I find that I'm preferring a copper trim and black hull, sometimes black trim and copper hull. That color scheme looks especially cool on the drengin hulls <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_D

Reply to What is the Difference between collectors edition and non? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Don't Waste your Money. The extra ship jewlery sounds cool but most of it is a waste (no saucers or anything useful) except that they do give you a "Sensor/deflector dish" to use. I don't think that is worth the extra money. like I said, the extra ship stuff is available for download anyway, which is free....

Reply to How do Green and Purple Stars form? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I have seen the occasional Blue star in the Demo, those don't usually have habitable planets though. so in the full game, yellow/red/orange stars have habitable planets while the green and purple stars don't? just clearing it up.
