Hi Hozy, we are talking solar systems in the game, right? ;) 1) Don't crush my kneecaps if I'm wrong on this one, but I believe it's 7-8 that is the max. Normally there are no more than 2, max 3 planet, in a large solar system, that is habitable. 2) No - not that makes any difference in game mechanics. Hope it helps /Flemming 3) No, no visible moons that affect gameplay in any way. ~SDC~
Nope - sorry, they are brutally designed from the start, even the good races ;) perhaps an idea for galciv 1.x? /Flemming
Asmodean, about the Moo'ing - nope - I Actually havent managed to make a simple win yet :( dunno why really, but most of the times I've stopped a game, is because of stuff missing after re-loading a game. I've lost ships and other stuff seems to have been reset from time to time after reloading, causing me to yell and pull my hair out :) oh well, we are all waiting for the patch :) how about you?? managed to win yet?? /Flemming ~SDC~
well, I actually kinda hope that the majority of the Moo3 fans that are active over on the Moo3 board, doesnt head this way. or if they do, that they undergo a radically change of perception of what can and what cannot be written on the net :) But yes, Galciv can hold under pressure /Flemming ~SDC~

there should be a dos emulator for winxp try searching over at the moo3 forums for Winxp and moo, in the "pre-release forums" I've seen it, /Flemming ~SDC~
Try the Encyclopedia button at the top of the screen there you will find the manual :) Have fun with the game! /Flemming ~SDC~
for me, reply button puts me at the bottom of the post, enabling me to "reply" to that post. ~SDC~
testing... ~SDC~
Actually, Brad(Developer) has written a very nice, ehm Thesis almost, on this subject, which can be found here: http://www.galciv.com/docs/criticalmass.html As one who has played this game a lot, I can say no to your question, not anywhere near like in other games, like Civ2. I think you will find that the Galciv team are gamers like yourself, and thinks perhaps more like a gamer than a developer normally would :) /Flemming
To change your email, you got to contact [email protected] with your old and new contact info to have your record updated. have fun, /Flemming

I agree - the game is very fun. The space combat is somewhat strange the first time you try it, more like an arcade game than a space flight sim, but very fun nonetheless. I bought it because the game sounded a lot like the old Elite game on c64 which I absolutely loved. damn, I just revealed just HOW old I am, didnt I? oh well :) /Flemming
StarDock Central will incorporate some new forum features :) Amongst these are tracking of posts. /Flemming
I echo Arras_at_Home's and Midnight_louise's sentiments complety... I want to help out in ANY way I can with something akin to Master of Magic, which, after Moo and Galciv is the game I've spent the most time playing :) No funding for those games yet, eh? hmm - I just had a crazy idea (not the first, and not the last I'll have is my guess). Make a PayPal button on the site, with people being able to donate money to Elemental's development :) I'd be the first to donate 10 buc
eh - promotion?? wow - niiiiice :) Thanks to the powers above :) /Flemming
Elemental and Mobilization??? whats that :) hmm, let me guess, Elemental is a fantasy game, where two wizards strive for dominion by summoning... ELEMENTALS?? Mobilization is a game of skill and speed, a twoplayer game where each side has to mobilize his forces as quickly as possible against the other opponnent :) let me know if I guess correctly, hehe /Flemming
Hi Lifewish, welcome to the game :) I couldnt agree with your observations about the board and the developers - very nice and clean, both of them ;) /Flemming
Take a look at this : http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GF&id=18276
Hmm, kinda like in Titan A.E.? A ship designed with the brute force neccassery to remake an entire planet into a gaia type for that race??? /Flemming
Fleets are only there to enable you to quickly move your ships - there are no combat bonusses. Flanking, suprise and the like does no difference here :) /Flemming
oh well, it's good to be the joker of the year then :) /Flemming
uh-oh, I can feel an upcoming PC Vs MAC conflict ;) they could go for Linux, instead of MS WIN - say, does Galciv run on Linux? I heard Unreal 2 ran without a hitch, and that Moo3 runs with an win emulator on linux - nice move actually.
whoops, what I meant - sorry 'bout the confusion :)
Hi Gzzrt, About the title of the game Galactic Civilizations, is what it is because of it's predecessor, Galactic Civilizations, which was a Mac game, featuring multi-threading as one of the first games. That said, it's not far off saying it's Civilizations in space, only it's so much more :) Basically, it's about empire building, and as you said yourself, there are multiple approaches to victory :) The Multiverse is great, but will be even better than it is now. The cr
hehe, now this should be "Documented, undocumented stuff" LOL btw, a "Sticky" thread at the top of the forum with a FAQ would be good :) If the thread I think it is is still here somewhere, I can see if I can find it and "Bump" it? /Flemming
