Reply to Elemental: Modding & Single Player in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I know python, but I haven't used it for a while. I should be functional again real shortly though (you mentioning it for use in modding is a strong motivation). Let me know if you need any help. Anyways, about the modding. Just how far can we go? From what I understand, the default elemental will not have a huge number of spells, and you will not have the ability to make high powered units, or create unusual/strange/interesting units. For interesting units, I'm thinking stuff like my

Reply to Let us know when you get your Demigod preorder in the mail! in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

My package was recieved today. I live in canada, and the delivery costed me about $6.85 canadian. Is it normal to get charged on delivery because I think I already paid for shipping and handling? I have yet to look at the contents of my box yet. I was thinking about letting it collect dust like my Sins box has, but after reading about bent Rook figures, I'm going to take a look at the very least. I'll be back after I look at the box, and review my e-mail reciept

[quote]1. How can i disable the game from switching to the next ship, after my current ship has depleted its movement points[/quote] Try the option "Skip Moves Left Over From Auto Pilot". Its mentioned in the manual (english version) on page 21. It should prevent the game from moving on the next ship, even if it has moves left over. If not, I'm not sure what you can do. You might have to look for the expansions for this option. [quote]2. How can i change my germa

Reply to Summoned stuff? in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I'm not sure if we're going to get summoned units in the game. I don't recall anything mentioned about them. As far I know, we are not going to be able to make high powered units with strange, or exotic powers. As for golems, I imagine that they are built, not summoned. Its how DnD does it, and thats how tale started as. Go read the wiki link I provided. [link="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem[/link] I don't know about you, bu

Reply to can someone give me detailed instructions on how make modds. in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

The editors came with the TA expansion. You should be able to access them by using the launcher (double click the desktop icon) and select the "Editors" buton. You should get a list of editors from there. Mind you, they are not the best (the tech tree editor will attempt to modify the prerequisite tech for the first entry) so you will want to learn how to do things manually. If you can't find the launcher, you can try looking here for the tools: C:\Program Files\Stardock Games

6. There does appear to be some problems with downloading an archive, and restoring from archive. These problems seem to be the same ones back from phase 2. I'll be doing some tests tomorrow (or some time when I don't have to worry about university finals).

Reply to Stardock's Impulse Phase 3 Complete! in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

Here are a few things I noticed: 1. View can be set to detail (default setting) - Good 2. The columns can be edited along with view - Good 3. "My Tools" & "My Desktop" is now a single entity "My Software" - Don't really care 4. There are some missing information (such as galciv1 not having any publisher or genre for instance) - Should be an easy fix 5. Incomplete list of demos (There are more than what is shown in the My Games tab when enabled) - Should be

Reply to How to upgrade ships in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I ussually run a surplus at some point (lots of stock markets with a farm and morale building on each planet... except for very low PQ worlds). As such, I can ussually afford to keep all my ships up to date. You might wish to try it.

Reply to dumb colony question in Colonies GalCiv2 Forums

Some tips: -Higher populations produce more taxes. -High morale increases population growth, +25% for 75%+ morale, x2 for 100% morale. -Having 0% taxes early in the game can help you get the much needed tax population. -Having dept for a long time slowly decreases morale (so its a good idea to get out of dept asap). -Very low morale causes your population to start decreasing. -You can try to sell techs and other stuff for a quick buck. -Galactic resources

Reply to Elemental: scale of power in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Just to clarify, we will only be designing humans and fallen? We will not be able to make units like undead or constructs? What about magically augmented units (augmentations that make them something not quite human)? If not, perhaps that will be a topic for a future expansion then.

Ships with these commands do nothing until a foreign vessel comes withing range and then does more nothing?

Reply to Made a Custom race but it wont let me build farms in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The Torians, Yor, and Iconians all start with farm planet improvements, but they are not the traditional variety. They are unique to their civs, and they have the required techs researched before the game. The Thalans also get one, but its a galatic achievement so they can only build one.

Reply to How do I attack a raider? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm not sure what we are able to do to help. Without a means for you to give us a save file that we can open and see whats wrong, we can't exactly know for sure whats happening. I still get the feeling that you are doing something wrong on your end. But still, I do have a few thoughts. Is this your first game so your problems could be due to a lack of experience? Can you start a new game without this problem?

Reply to "Sentry" Command Fails in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You don't seem to understand what "Sentry" or "Guard" is supposed to do. When idle, when either command is active, the ship(s) in question do nothing. When the given trigger wakes them up, they are ready to recieve orders. They take no actions until they recieve orders (I believe thats what they are intended to do, like in the civilization series). The reason for this is, in DL original, when you finish givin

Reply to The life of a computer game in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

I think it has to do something with how well a game can entertain a person. In this day and age of advanced video games and computer games, there are still people out there who play poker. I'm sure that it has a large enough of a fan base that if I were to call it a simple game of cards, I get a few people who would argue otherwise, both from the traditional hardcore to the new recruits from the commercials.

I was going to wait another week or so before I asked the same question. My guess is that they are very busy with Elemental, Demigod, and Sins Entrenchment. They merely haven't had the time to bother with another update. Maybe if we submitted more bug reports, they might say at some point "Hey, lets release another update.".

Reply to I will never play again! in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I believe that Peacekeepers declare war on those who have military ships outside of their territory at the time the event starts. If the Drengin were playing nice when it happend, they could then "aid" the Peacekeepers without fear of retaliation. I've "aided" the Peacekeepers many times in the past.
