Hello JAFO. I understand about housing loans. I used to have a home in Moore, Oklahoma. On May 20, 2013 a class 5 tornado came through and vaporized it. I suppose I was a bit lucky; I am a Chef and was working at my restaurant in Norman OK at the time. I did not have nearly enough insurance to cover it; the bank is still hounding me.

Hello Frogboy; thank you so much for your swift reply. Because of my large medical bills (cancer) I am no longer able to use any of my previous credit cards. I now have only a debit card.

Yes, I truly understand. For well over 40 yrs this was my situation as well. I was a professional Chef de Cuisine, and money was far less of a problem than it is now. You see, I have cancer and have been forced onto Disability in order to pay medical bills. My deposit comes on the 3rd. I hope that I have not offended anyone here, I truly do. Stardock is still by far my favorite and most respected company; the people such as yourself perhaps even more so.

For many working people (myself included) the end of the month is the absolute worst time for a sale like this. We pay our various bills, and by the end of the month, the average working man (or woman) is for all ways and means broke. Doing this as you do is potentially costing you an enormous amount of revenue, and even worse, pushing the feelings of your community towards negativity, which is a potential death sentence. Have your sales at the FIRST

I purchased the new Intrigue expansion. I went through Steam. I thought that I had purchased it already, the first day it was available, and it turns out I was right. Now my memory is not what it used to be, and when I went to steam and couldn't find it, I bought it anyway. Of course, while it was downloading, the e-mail popped up from you fine folks with my key. Here is my question: How can I get a refund from Steam for this, and if/when it happens, will

Thanks for all of your hard work and true care for the game and those that are part of this fine family. This is by far the best game ever; not for pure profit like the overwhelming majority of other companies, but for passion (something that unfortunately is rarely seen anymore). One thing that I find particularly impressive is the fact that you are finally standing up to the egotism of the players. You have heard " me so horny" many times, yet you and the fine

This is a huge difference to the game; it is the type of thing that I expected from the beginning. This will even the class out abit since the older experienced players have to learn the same as the noobs. This at first seems like a pita for most players, but in the long run should be more interesting, especially after this has been played awhile by the many, and the positive tweeks come out that make it work for all. I can't wait until it comes out. 'Til then, though, will hav

Welcome back Ms...You did a fine job with the earlier versions; a pleasure working with you on them; can't wait to see what you can bring up/back now. Great, and impressive to see these fine updates and fixes. There are more to do in my opinion, but you all have my confidence that it will happen. To be honest, I haven't played the game in awhile, partially because of a number of things that you have been working on. I will make it a point to return to the clan of fine,

Thank you, Yasu. I tried to use the influence and mining bases, and when I found out they did not work yet, I assumed that the economy and military bases were useless as well, and did not try to use them. I will certainly work on them now and in the future, them being so valuable as you say. Thank you again; sorry it took so long to reply, somehow I missed it. We have cats also, one who looks similar to yours, and for whatever reason likes the gam

Yes, this is happening to me as well. Basically, a definition of something will be in the wrong text size, and will print out or over the place it belongs. I see this many times. I have never used this page, so I have not seen it, but I have little doubt that it will be there.

First, I believe this to be the best version yet. Not huge changes, but a new race, and new sound effects/music, and the new versions of the smaller items are better, in my opinion. That being said, during start up, the program will say something that it has never said before; it only started with 0.61, and here it is: "This video card is reporting less than 512Mb of video ram. It may not be able to run Galactic Civilizations III." Now, my computer has ~10 Rams of memory, so this is a

What is the current version number? I see no reference anywhere and I would like to check to see if my version got updated. Steam seems to be very quirky in this regards lately. My main menu screen says Ver. 0.61 I agree with you. Mine shows the same number, and when I go to use it, it shows the new race, with new music and sound effects, (nice) and various items that have been worked on visually; these look great also. I believe that .61 is proper. I

It is a complete waste to try and build a starbase. At this point, you can get one to stage 1, which does nothing at all. There is a list of things to add to make it into one of several types of base, but these are not there yet. Well, the labels are there, but they do not work, and it says so. It was a mistake to put up the starbase at all intill the whole thing is ready to go. Huge waste of time and effort just to get to an expensive nothing.

Hello everybody. My name is Mistralok, and I have been a player in the GalCiv world since the beginning. I was surprised when the mention of this game hit my e-mail, and purchased it on the spot. It was a pleasant surprise. I am sure that there are many here that I have chatted with before, to the point of electronic friendship that a game like this can provide. I look forward to communicating with you all again. My picture is different; it suits the game, and I would be pleased if someone co

3D maps are interesting, depending on which game, but difficult to design. They take quite a bit of time; time which could be spent working on and perfecting other parts of the game. I can choose 1 3D, or over a dozen drop your jaw amazing things in a game. I choose the latter. One day, 3D will be easier, more common, and have better quality, but till that time arrives, I believe we should keep the excellent 2D that Stardock can provide.

There are a number of words in Earth languages that sound the same, but mean different things. They may be spelled slightly differently, or not, but mean; well here are a few. COOKIE: “Small penis” in Hungarian. It’s spelled “koki.” KISS: “Pee” in Swedish. BITE: “Penis” in French (it’s pronounced slightly differently). SPEED: “Fart&

Thank you rodolfopellegrino. So the problem is definitely with Firefox. I'll keep looking, but I have serious doubts that I will find what the problem is. The game itself plays as it should through Firefox, but when I start it with Steam, the Title does not show on the opening page. Strange. The game itself plays correctly though. I have heard good things about Chrome, but I have 2 of them already installed, so I probably won't install it. Now,

I found out that when I use Internet Explorer, everything shows as it should. No probs whatsoever. It is obviously something with Firefox. Looks like I'll be using this one for our conversations and gameplay. No problem, really; I'll just have to learn how to properly use it. I have not used this particular one in years. Thank you for your help. Mistralok

What an honor writing to you sir. In answer to your question, I have CCCleaner, Spybot-S&D, both pros;and also use avast!, again the pro version. They have never blocked anything that I did not want them to. Now, I changed my avatar, and also put in a personal image, and they went into the "images" part of the account with no problem. However, the old avatar stayed on my posts, and also on the "user information" part of my profile. Now, this was quite annoying, so I worked at it an

Thank you, erischild. This is odd. Everything else is there; the name, Join Date, etc, but not the picture. (on my comp, anyway) Nobodies picture shows. Now, the folk that don't have one show the white alien, and on the GalCiv site show that face, but but most, like yours and mine, are blank (the pic) Now when I have bookmarked and saved the page, I can open the file, and everything looks normal. Odd. Anyway, thank you again for the reply. It is the most helpful one I have
