When you say they do not work.... are they extremely choppy? Do they freeze? What do you mean they will not work? They just do not come on?

Very cool. Thank you again Sir Kryo

Multiple Games in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I guess this is a dumb question, not sure. Can I have several different Metaverse games saved at the same time? Without causing a cheat flag? I am thinking of running a game to write a story with, while continuing to post other games. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

Yup. The soldiers with the happy feet and the happy meal boxes on wheels which seem to float upon victory... have to go.

I can't believe that such a slight admonishment as that would constitute "slamming". Hey now, I did put the words.... sort of .....in there. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/

Just for the record, Mumble and I got to 'know' each other when I accused him of posting a 'Can't we all just get along soliloqy' in the Amecrica Freedom of Facsism thread. Of course. I played a small role in that one as well. I was going to comment a little bit further on this thread in my last post but thought better of it. Now I am just goi

Thank you for the kind words Alex and ShuShu. With my life taking a pretty wild turn and my computer being on the fritz, I have had little time to play. I work for a large power company and am on call 24 hours a day 365 days a year. It is pretty hard to get enough time to post games. However, my computer is back, and when work allows I will begin posting games once again. Also I love to dabble in creative writing and I have begun a story based on one of my games. Hopefull

That was very well written Sir Mambaman. Hope to see you write some more.

Ras, I can see the avenue that you are trying to explain. In a way I guess it makes it a bit more fun and interesting having to determine what your enemy is going to do with the materials you see before you. However, the way the game explains it when you reach the advanced level, we know when the top advisors are going to take a dump, we know what they had for lunch, so I am safe to assume, since it usually takes a multitude of people, talking amongst each other to determine when the

Reply to starfighter CARRIERS mod in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

This game needs carriers if it wants to keep it's fan base. Not a true statement. Now maybe, if it wants to keep those of you who want carriers,.... or maybe not. You are still playing although it has been said that there are no plans to introduce carriers into the game, by Stardock officials and Brad himself. Do a forums

Crazy Idea in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Not sure if this is even possible. I just thought it would make for one heck of a wild ride. I think I saw somewhere that they were thinking about making, or someone had suggested that they make "Hero" types for GalCiv. Whether that was meant for ships being the "Hero" type or an actual individual is unknown to me. So here is my Idea.... Say you built a fighting ship and sent it out on patrol. For some unknown reason the captain and crew go rouge and make a preempti

Reply to Advanced espionage and declarations of War in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I think I understand your point. The AI will not just declare war when it is not prepared to attack. With that said, I did see several troop transports moving towards some of my planets at the time, but none of them were in striking distance prior to the declaration of war. They were prepared to strike, just not in range to do so the moment they declared. Which was good for me, I immediately sent out my tiny fighters to destroy all their unprotected transports...... Stupi

Reply to Advanced espionage and declarations of War in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Well, in 1.4 they do not declare war, they just attack without advanced warning. This I beg to differ with, sir Moosetek. I am currently playing a game, version 1.4, as the Yor. I have gone 3 years into the game, came to the third UPs meeting, and the vote went my way due to having 54% of the influence. The first turn of the new year

I have played many games and this is the first time I have decided to take my espionage spending to the advanced level. Now, I understand the benefits of advanced versus the high levels but there is something that completely miffs me. If I am supposed to know every move the enemy makes, every little tiny thing that they do, I have spies everywhere within their government. Why oh why do I not know they are going to declare war on me before they do so? It only makes sense for me to kno

I just read my earlier post and realized how idiotic it truly sounded.... "Ohhh... the core ships suck, they are worthless, do not use them, they are a waste of good material, blah blah blah...... oh and by the way... I like using the core ship designs." (I said this because I like playing the game, not taking time to make cool ship designs.) This has to be a first... I am flaming myself. Anyone ever see that before? Anyhow.... <table cellpadding=8 width="95%

Yes, but sometimes you buy something just to continue paying for it.... No? Say Dark Ages of Camelot or any other MMORPG.... You have to pay to play baby.... Gah. Take the TBS games any day.

Thanks, I have been thinking about joining an empire now for a fairly long time. Kind of gets lonely out there all by your lonesome you know? Had some pretty good conversations with some of your members and decided why not. So here I am, ShuShu played a large role. Glad to be a part of something bigger than myself. Thanks again, see you out there!

Reply to Where is that cruiser? in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

Rule of thumb Never, ever, under any circumstances, under threat of torture or even certain death, (Because that is what will happen anyway if you do) Build core ships. They are just plain dumb and a waste of good material. However, I do like to take the core ship design and upgrade with what I want to put on them, keeping the already existing jewelry. I like it anyway.
