Reply to About farms versus other buildings... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]...still some errors!^^: [bolded] - 0 if approval is less than 20%. In addition, you lose 10% of your existing population per turn. - 0 for approval between 20 and 40% (pop doesn't grow).[/quote]I quoted directly from the Wiki. However it's been awhile since I checked in game and so I just did. You're right and the Wiki is wrong. 20% stays the same, 19% loses 10% pop. At least in the case of DA v2.01 which is the only version I tested.

Lies and the Lying Liars That Tell Them in Everything Else JoeUser Forums

First off I want to state that this is in no way a political post, it's strictly personal. Secondly I'm not accepting comments because this is a statement, not a discussion. The lie to which I'm referring was most recently repeated by Anthony R in Reply #33 of the since locked How do you feel the middle class is viewed? thread. This same lie has also been repeated by <a

They don't listen to logical argument and respond to the points you make because they can't.

Reply to Curious discovery in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]What I think is going on is that there's a certain date (the beginning of the 7th year: 2231 in DL, 2232 in DA, 2233 in TOA) before which AIs will not ally with each other, similiar to how they won't exchange treaties at first. Once this point is reached the good races are the first to ally; one of the only real differences in how AIs of different ethics play is that good races cooperate much more with each other then the other alignments do.[/quote]That's certainly possible.

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="15" id="2782882"]You have your own little cesspool where you like to spew your racist hate and diatribes. Don't pollute other's blogs with your hate. No one mentioned you by name, yet you apparently cannot return the same courtesy. That shows how small you are, and not any shortcomings those you name may have. Indeed, it speaks highly of them and very small of you. But then you do that with your own bigotry.[/quote]Ah ... the king of do

Reply to Curious discovery in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

You are talking about 6 years into the game and by that point I would expect that there would be few Ai's left to ally with one another. Could it be that perhaps by that time you're quite a bit stronger than any one AI or even perhaps stronger than the sum of all AI's together? In DL I did notice that towards the end of games where I was down to 3 or 4 AI's that they naturally allied with each other against me. This could merely be an example of the same thing.

Reply to Will this game get a multiplayer addon? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Doubtful. It's been discused quite a bit but the game takes way too many hours to play and is way too complicated to ever be a good MP game. There has also been talk that an eventual GalCiv3 might support MP but when that would be is anyone's guess. There used to be a way to play a quasi hotseat game as described in https://www.galciv.wikia.com/wiki/Hot_Seat_Game .

I'm pretty sure that Stardock Central is no longer supported and that you need to install Impulse to get any current updates of the game. If you go to "My Account" and then click on the "Registrations" tab any registered versions of the game should appear along with a link to download Impulse ( http://www.impulsedriven.com/impulse_setup.exe ). Click on the link to install Impulse and once that's complete your

Reply to Still Playing Gal Civ 2 in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm still playing albeit quite slowly. It used to take me 4 to 6 weeks to finish a gigantic all abundant game. I started my current game on 6/26 and have no clue as to when I'll finish. It just seems that I don't have the consecutive hours to devote to the game that I used to have and so progress at some points can be very slow. Still, playing slowly is better than not playing at all.
