Reply to Changing the avatar or picture on my posts in Galactic Civilizations Series Stardock Forums

Well, I have managed to get rid of the oldie, but the new pictures I added are now gone. Also, I cannot re-ad them, or any others. They are the correct size, but the damn program will not let me, calling all that I have tried too large, and will not take them. I now have no avatar, or picture where they once were. Anyone know how to fix this? Without it there is no reason to play the new game, since I am now no one and nothing, so I will have to get my money back. This is a disappointment, si

Reply to What is Your Favorite Civilization in Galactic Civilizations? in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

I like them all, and have played them all, at one time or another, but the Humans are my favorites. They are the most well balanced of them all, in my opinion. The others are great in their own way, but being human myself (for the most part), I have a certain loyalty, and seem to do better when playing them.

Changing the avatar or picture on my posts in Galactic Civilizations Series Stardock Forums

This may be a simple question, but how do I change my avatar shown on my posts? I have changed it in the "images" section, and yes, it is the filesize given, and shows up in the section. But when I post, my old picture is still shown. Is there something else that I need to do? Please help. &nbsp

Reply to Galactic Civilizations Fans - Introduce Yourself! in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hello, all; glad to be back in what I consider to be a superb gaming family. I joined the group in 2006, and helped get the games out. Only a couple of tiny things, mind you, but proud I still am. This was, and I hope still is the most friendly and caring group that I have ever come across, and I'm sure that will continue. I couldn't afford the big one, so I will have to wait until after A, but after that, look out, so to speak. It already feels good to

I am apart. Always I have seen around me all the games and parades of life and have always envied the players and the marchers. I watch the cards they play and feel in my belly the hollowness as the big drums go by, and I smile and shrug and say, Who needs games? Who wants parades? The world seems to be masses of smiling people who hug each other and sway back and forth in front of a fire and sing old songs and laugh into each others faces, and truth and trust. And I kneel at the edge of the

Reply to Making your own worlds in Elemental Dev Journals Demigod Forums

Excellent. I eat this stuff up. I made many maps in GalCiv, but they were pretty over the top type things. This I could work with. I'm already thinking about recreating actual terrain maps. Take a piece of the Rocky Mountains, for example. Abundant mineral resources, food hard to come by, and small mountain passes to fight through. Or the great plains; abundant food, scarcer minerals, and wide open, with little or no natural defenses. I could map the Everglades, or the American southw

[quote]I am waiting for Elemental and then Diablo three[/quote] Ditto. In that order. D3 is looking pretty polished at this point, so it wouldn't surprise me a bit if it was released in time for the holiday buying season. Then again, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if it wasn't... What if both games were released in time for the season? Blizzard would have a virtual lock on sales. Talk about cornering the market.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond. I had pretty much made up my mind before I started this thread, but getting the thumbs up from other members of the Stardock family is comforting. I tend to put more weight behind your opinions than those of the general public. @LightStar: I visited your website for the first time; very nice. I'll check back from time to time to see what you do with Win7. If anyone else is reading this post, please feel free to chime in, as I will

Does anyone use Win7RC 64bit as their primary OS? in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

I've downloaded it, but I would like to hear other's opinions before I decide whether or not to go through the trouble of installing. Is it worth it? Are you having any problems or conflicts that I should know about? For the record, I'm using XP 32bit, but I would really like to be able to use the extra ram that is just going to waste now.

Yes, I understand about the /skipintro thing. I just thought that there would be a checkbox on the options screen that would allow us to skip them.

Reply to skip the intro movies? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I thought that there was to be an option to skip all of these in the last patch. I've played a few games since, but I am so used to clicking through them that I have forgotten to check and see if the option is there.

This is indeed Cirque du Soleil, filmed during their Quidam tour. They are a French Canadian circus troupe that uses no animals, and yeah, pretty much all of their stuff is like that. I've seen them live a couple of times, and they are quite entertaining, especially if one is in, let's say, an 'altered state'. [e digicons];)[/e]

Thanks for keeping us updated, and try not to let the trollettes get you down. I am one of those who are having the connectivity issues, but I am adult enough to realize that pissing and moaning about it won't do anyone any good. I doubt that very few, if any of the whiners have the basic smarts to even begin to understand the enourmous complexity of what you are attempting to do. Know that the overwhelming majority of players understand, to one degree or another, the task you are fac

The only time I pay any attention to him at all is when he is trying to cap one of my flags and I have to go and chase him off. I don't play exclusively as any one Demigod. I like to cycle through the different characters and builds, and I have never come remotely close to being killed by an Erebus in any game that I have played. His 'Bite' was
