Reply to Hello from a new player. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

2. Build up your treasury, research HyperWarp drive, and build a military starbase loaded with 20 Interdiction Beam modules. Then surround that starbase with 8 tiny, extremely cheap drones. I hypothesize that such a starbase will be invincible to all craft with a speed less than 20 pc/wk, since any enemy ship which enters that starbase's influence will get stopped dead right where it is. The 8 drones mean that any ship which attacks the starbase itself will have to get

How do you run the game in a window? I just gave up on a Gigantic game due to slow downs. Interestingly, the game was fine during the first session. Almost as soon as I loaded the game for the second session the slowness started, and did not improve.

Sadly, it looks like themocaw has not logged on since August 7th. Hope none of the nitpicking scared him off because, despite minor complaints, this is great stuff.

Reply to Why do you object to Stardock Central? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

What I object to is that there are folks that are expressing their legitimate issue with the current update ability and it's the people that have no such issue that consistantly in effect say screw them. It's fine you have no issue with SDC. I'm happy for you. However you have no right to belittle someone else's issue. I certainly don't mean to. In fact, I think that is a legitimate concern, and unrelated to my original question, or, at least, unrelated

If they paid for the game, then they have a right to the updates, the same as anyone else. Actually, that probably depends on what the EULA says. You may be right, though -- I'm not sure. drrider , in a different thread, has implied that the EULA says otherwise, but I can't recall.

Reply to Why do you object to Stardock Central? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

However, the point of some peoples complaint is not that they have any intrinsic problem with SDC it's just they have no internet access at home (or only dialup which is unsuitable for downloading Gigabytes of data) and they're prohibited from installing the game and SDC at work so as to get updates. These folks are few but that doesn't mean that I think their needs should be ignored. Is it reasonable to cater to those people, though? I mean, I'm certain

I think the Blade Runners should trade their suckiest player for Mumblefratz. (Oh wait, that's me... err, never mind.)

Reply to Empire thread --> The Gerontocracy in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

There are no ethical standards... play any way that you enjoy playing. I might Ctrl-N once or twice if my position seems completely untenable, but not very often. I will also load an autosave game if certain mega-events occur... like the Jagged Knife. I find that particular event quite ridiculous. That and the Independent League. or whatever. I mean, a spontaneous empire rising out of nowhere? Fine, no problem. A spontaneous empire that takes away my Economy Capital and Technological Ca

Our esteemed emporer deleted the original tagline about yelling at kids on the lawn, Actually, it's still there. I grew up reading Claremont's X-Men. Good stuff. The past few nights at work I was bored and started reading some wikipedia articles on X-Men characters and wow, I have no idea what happened -- what a mess. Read the article on Psylocke for a good example of my confusion.

It would probably be a good idea for us to not alienate the new league players, hmm? Just a thought. Welcome to the league, Xei Win Toh. Given your great scores, I hope that you do indeed get placed in the Bladerunners! So, has the final tally for the first round been posted somewhere yet?

Reply to Nazi Earth in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

No it doesn't. Glorifying the Nazis involves glorifying their past achievements and horrors. Playing space nazis in no way achieves that. That would be like saying playing Axis and Allies, Company of Heroes, Battlefield 1942, Hearts of Iron 1 & 2, etc etc glorifies Nazi Germany. Yeah, sure, but those games are based in a time when Nazis were a threat. It would make no sense at all to remove them, and I doubt even the most "politically correct" (stupid a

Welcome aboard, Amalric. I think there's just a lot less activity in general right now, Embird. I've been quite busy with other things, I'm afraid to say. Nevertheless, I hope our empire will continue to dominate the galaxy.
