Hey, does anybody know if you can mod the deep space background? If so, you potentially could create a mod that had nothing to do with space. Like, you could have island wars with stars being the central volcano or something (lame idea but I'm just trying to get you guys out of the box). I really would like to see somebody create a mod with some real creativity. The game m

Another one from me, it's the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy mod! It has 7 playable major races, a new Class of starbase: Artificial Planets, new modules for that starbase, new Random Events and some new Engines, including the Infinite Improbability Drive. It can be downloaded from the library or a version including video can be downloaded from the website at TBSModder . On TBSM there is also a forum for the mod.<

From the mouth of a modder. in Welcome JoeUser Forums

Welcome to my blog! This blog will be about my various mods and mod-in-progress's of strategy games such as GalCiv2 (of course), Civ 4, SimCity and of some strats that you probably haven't heard of, such as Industry Giant II. Beware, as there will more likely than not be EA-bashing. I will also use this post to shamelessly plug my new site <a href="http://www.tbsmodder.c

Reply to Race relations in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

-- military might: they consider you too weak, yes you need a stronger military. ++ trading: all the trade routes between the civs. Trade is a good way to boost relations. + historic friendship: you have been peaceful and friendly towards this civ for a long time. ++ too busy to make war: their military is either weak or tied up elsewhere; they couldn't handle a war with you. Hope this helps. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab

No Automatic Upgrades Mod in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

This mod changes the planetary improvements so that, after you research a more advanced improvement, you can still build the old one. This could be useful when you settle a planet in the mid-game and don't want to build the more expensive improvement. Improvements also don't automatically upgrade. I have uploaded to the library, and it can also be downloaded here .

I mostly play for 1-4 hours at weekends, mabye an hour or two after school when I'm on however, it'll take something really important to get me off. GC2 has to be my #2 favourite game, very incredibly microscopically preceded by Civ 4, but that's only because of Civ 4's moddability. I love TBSs.
