Open an image-editing program like MicroSoft Paint and hit the Ctrl and V keys at the same time. That will post your screen shot onto the program. 2. go to an image hosting site like Imageshack or Photobucket, and select the image you want to host. 3. When you have selected your image, you should get a list of URLs that you can copy and paste to the 'Insert Ima

[quote]Question, the manual does not appear to explain how to delete custom nations you don`t want. how do I do this?[/quote] Choose any civ when starting a game. When you are at the screen where you can customize that civ, click the 'Load' button at the bottom of the screen. A list of your custom civs will appear. Click ONCE on the civ you don't want any more, and then click the 'Delete' button at the bottom of the list of custom civs. hope that helps.

Reply to Should I play with Surrenders on or not? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I always play with surrenders on; it adds an extra layer of strategy, detailed below: What if Race A Surrenders to Race B? Should I ally with Race B, then go to war, letting Race A build up, or take the chance and attack Race A right now? And it (usually) ends wars before they become "useless", i.e., no wasting time mopping up far-off planets and straggler ships.

[quote]What would they be for a neutral civ?[/quote] The ships would be the oposite of whatever allignment you're leaning towards at the time, and if you were exactly on neutral, or had chosen neitral after researching Xeno Ethics, it would be more or less random. Also, you'd get a temporary diplomatic penalty when this happened, as the inversed ethics of the fleet's crew would expose your civ's brutality (evil), crusader mentality (good), or ambiguity (neutral)

[quote]Libertarian vs. Authoritarian: You can be libertarian by being Good or Capitalist, having a Star Democracy or Federation system of govenment, pursuing an alliance or technology victory, and through the usual ethical choices, improvements, and techs. Libertarians get morale, research, and creativity boosts, get more money from trade routes, and have a higher pop growth. They lose loyalty, courage, and production, however. Authoritarianism is acquired by being Evil, having an Imperial or

And a list of changes. * Erased state borders in First People's Nation, California, and Jefferson. * Gave New York to Allied States. * Took British Columbia, Alberta, and part of Saskatewan from FPN, and created Atlantic Provinces from them. * Annexed Central American countries into Mexico. * Carved up Utah between FPN, Jefferson and CNA. * Reduced "bulges" from CNA into the Michigan Socialist Republic. How is it now
