Sure are a lot of white dwarf stars in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I was just wondering how many billions of years in the future Gal Civ is supposed to take place, since the galaxy is littered with stellar remnants? From a game play point of view, it kinda sucks to have 55% dead white dwarf systems. And raising the number of "stars" to abundant just yields even more of these. I bought the Terran Alliance DLC (so now I'm back to having all of the DLCs) in case it was something fixable that way, but no.

The square root mechanic hearkens back to how GC2 defenses worked, although there it was you had to get over the defense threshold to do damage at all. But the statement that 9 damage does 9 points to defenses is, I'm pretty sure, not correct. Defenses take half damage until they're knocked down. I just confirmed this in my current game.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, kryo, I have that option set. And in fact, I see the ship now . . . I reset the text field and typed Test with a capital T instead of lowercase. That caused it to appear in a different location than the rest of the test ships in the ship list. Apparently it alphabetizes capitals differently. I'd wondered why the test ships all appeared at the bottom of the list, now I know why. I love the idea of getting the old DA parts back, so I'm totally doing that.

One more gripe: what's up with ship hulls not being bilaterally symmetrical?

Ship designs horribly mangled in TA and save issue in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I appologize in advance if this stuff has been covered elsewhere. If so, please point me in the right direction. Here's my problem. My ship designs from DA got mangled moving them to TA. Some of them were easy to fix, a missing piece here or there, or a piece twisted the wrong way for no apparent reason. Some were caused by parts changing in size or shape between DA and TA. One I can't explain very well, it just looks like it went through a transporter accide

Reply to Disapearing Turn Button in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hitting the turn button, then the tab key to find ships that couldn't figure out what to do with themselves worked. Thank so much! I had just about given up on this particular game. I'd reloaded from a few turns back and replayed those turns, doing slightly different things each time, and it always died at the same point (ingame march 8th of the current year). That's pretty odd, isn't it? Searching these forums for a mention of the problem was tough too, so if you don't mind I'll write a fe

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but I'm having a problem with ships from all over the galaxy converging on one point in my space. Some of my ships will change their course, all on their own, to head to this point (which I can see as a circle with so many turn numbers below it that it's unreadable). Dozens and dozens of alien ships converge there too -- constructors, freighters, scouts, troop transports, and more -- until there's a huge traffic jam of ships floating there. After a hundred
