It is my opportunity to stand on top of the troop carrier and scream.... "Destroy them all!" I like that imagery! Just to clarify a little bit here... I do in fact 'attempt' to time my mouse click with the odds counter, SOMETIMES. It is usually when I am conducting mass invasions that I really don't bother weighing my odds because regardless of the outcom
This talk about MS sending out driver programmers lends itself to question. If this were to be done, where should they draw the line on drivers? Should they make drivers for Creative's earliest sound cards? What about my old Voodoo3? And what about that no name company I bought a cheap tv tuner from 6 years ago? In reality, they certainly should. People, myself included, like to use the auto world as an example. I work in parts for Dodge and let me tell
Don't get me started Hee, hee, hee... This is just getting too good!
I intend on playing again... I just do not know when. I actually played in a tournament once in Austin Texas in 96' I think. Yeah, that's what I say to myself too... Never played in the tournaments although I have had a few opportunities to do so. I wasn't well versed with all of the rules regarding the tournament play but when informed that upon losing I wou
Please for the love of God would someone lock this post or something... just make it disappear like the last two days of my life spent reading this. To Andir, I am still not following your logic with all of this. I myself HATE the idea of having to use the internet for anything, only because of dial up speed, so I understand what you are saying. It seems that the only point you bring up that I can honestly say crossed my mind as well was the whole going out of business thing. What wou
I can only fix it by giving a new design a new name also. Whenever upgrading your existing ship you must rename it otherwise issues such as what you have will occur. Even if you just add another engine to it, to be used properly you have to give it a new name. If you like the name you already have just add a II or III after the name to designate the newest build version.
How many people agree with Tonedude? I don't agree. I, like you, didn't even know this was an issue with anyone. I myself could care less as the ground invasion screen does what I need it to do... tell me if I won or lost! I don't even watch the battles as they play out (does anyone?) and am even to the point that the fluctuating odds counter means nothing
1GB PC6400 DDR2 - 800 SDRAM If you don't mind my asking... why only 1 gig of RAM? If you're going to build a system, build a SYSTEM! I would've recommended Asus myself but WTF do I know... just my preference. Seriously though, consider more RAM and make sure the mobo has enough DIMM slots.
I'll chime in on this one... Not to be rude Andir, but just give it up. Regardless of right or wrong, the system is what it is. The CEO himself has just told you that if you don't like it take your business elsewhere... it's that easy. Believe me, I understand where you, and a lot of others come from when bringing up various topics that are similar to this one but in all honesty, you are putting fa
Have you tried the Axis & Allies PC game? Yes, I have the game for the PC. I thought it was the only version but if there are more, it is just the plain jane game, from Hasbro of course. The only problem I have with the PC game is I usually find myself altering the unit costs and attack/defense values to the point where cheese just flows from my keyboard. Besides, the board game was more fun because of the pieces IMO. I asked my family for the new,
I have a ton of Magic cards, but no one to play so they sit in storage. Yes, it is a shame isn't it? My wife and I got into Magic big time about five years ago and bought literally thousands of dollars worth of cards (mostly new, I wasn't about to spend the kind of money they wanted for mint 'vintage' cards)but then one day we just quit playing, for no good reason that I can remember... oh yeah, now it is dawning on me... something about too many cards

I heard that bonus tiles were made very rare in DA, however Kryo said that it had been changed again and you should be able to find almost as many bonus tiles as was in DL. I don't know if they're rare or not since I almost always get a few of them each game. My current game my actual homeworld has a 700% manu, a 300% manu, and a 100% manu bonus tile... take a guess where I built my Manufacturing Capital... go on... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/
It looks like it came from Civ IV if you ask me...
Actually as a heterosexual male I'm very pro-bush. Oh. That's not quite what you meant. Nevermind. Good one Mumblefratz! It seems the spring thaw has brought about a little bit of zip in your step eh?
And honestly, basically all of England is anti-bush. That's not an uncommon thing Yeah, I think the same could be said for us back here in the USA as well... at least I hope the majority is with me on this one.
Wow... how far this thread has digressed. WTF was the original topic? Something about a ship without an engine could still move one space right? Whew, I think I might need to go and smoke something after this one.

Has anyone else noticed that autopilot doesn't always take a minimum length path? Someone please tell me that all these issues have been fixed on DA. Sorry to say, this still happens in DA. It doesn't even seem that there has to be an actual object in the way of the flight path... they just make their own route even if it isn't the shortest distance between the two points. Damn, Magnumaniac beat me to
I design them (I try to go for that "Lilo and Stitch" police cruiser look), but rarely employ them. But they make great little starbase destroyers!

*ahem* Anywho, back to the grind, I guess. I'd still like to know why some of you like to claim all your planets before building anything on them? So you just claim a bunch of planets and leave them with empty tiles until you decide what to do with them? My reason for it may be 'flawed' but I do it for the population. The quicker I can get my population to grow to the maximum UNADJUSTED population, which is 6 billion for all other planets, the quicker m
Anyway, looks like Iran wants the English to invade them... you know, otherwise why else would they kidnap English solders? What makes you so sure Iran actually did the kidnapping? You can't trust any of the news agencies anymore... let alone your politicians and businessmen, but I don't really believe Iran would do something like that on their own. Seems more like an attempt by British Intel/CIA types to try and instigate a war by drawing approval for

How do I raise my influence? Aside from the obvious builds that raise your influence (better versed players step in at any time please... ) you can start by building some constructors and then send them out to areas where you want to increase your influence, even if it's within your own 'territory'. Have them build influence starbases and then add modules to them
Also, I just demolished a colony base on a captured planet and the plant's value went to 0. Yes, this is what happens when you destroy a colony. I like it since it allows me to render a planet totally useless, which sometimes does need to happen. Adds some different strategy options.
I'm curious, how long did you run the test for? No where near as long as you are suggesting, but a couple of hours IIRC (I usually have a lot of things going on when I am doing things with the PC such as system tests/scans). I'll definitely give it another go, again, just to be sure. I don't suppose you have auto-save enabled, are running in full screen and can tie the CTDs into the same turns as the auto-save? <
RAM's purpose is to be used--if it isn't, it's going to waste. Just had to ask... since it seems like the CTD comes on at anything less than 500 mb RAM... is this possible? Not worded right, but I am sure you know what I am asking you Kryo. Thanks again.
FYI, utilities made to free up memory are almost always a bad thing, especially when playing a game such as GC2. Maybe so Kryo but at the moment it's all I can do to actually get a game in, and that's only using a medium map. Hopefully adding more RAM will fix my problems and allow me to go back to gigantic galaxies. If it is more to do with the game however I do hope that the devs are working to fix the issues. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/
