Reply to My American politics as a Brit? in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

My guess is that you would be part of a dying breed in the US- a true conservative, though I think Libertarianism would be a bit too far Right for your tastes. The Republican Party calls themselves "conservative" but for the main party platform that is social/moral conservatism at best, and most definitely not a political conservatism. Both major parties are very liberal when it comes to government control- the main point being which aspect of life do you want controlled? Th

ah yes, in the beginning of Episode II...there is some slight switching between 1st and 3rd person; I tried to catch most of it, but alas, I must have missed it at various points. Well, such is life I suppose, and thankfully it doesnt do serious injury to the story.

The New Cerulean Star System The Cerulea Star System centers around a main-sequence G2V-type (Sol-like) star that has 5 planets in its system, and a moderately-sized asteroid belt on its outskirts. Four of the planets are rocky worlds, with three of those being capable of supporting life, the other unhabitable due to a runaway greenhouse effect. The fifth planet is a gas giant. The gas giant, Azuras, is by far

Episode Three: A New Beginning The forward saucer-shaped hull of the newly-christened 'Cerulean One' glided gracefully past the bright large cloud-enshrouded world that briefly eclipsed the shining indigo-green marble ahead of them. "Captain, the Class Twelve world is directly ahead sir." "Bring it on screen." and Captain Morave turned to face me. "Ma

@hellificare: can you post your debug.err? it'll be easier for the Devs to see what happened in your case. You are attempting to use the Beta though right? Otherwise, post the problem elsewhere. All this being said, since it IS a Beta, there is no guarantee that it will work, it may just end up being imcompatible at the moment.

Episode Two: Aftermath "Close that valve off! Get those fire crews over here! And get the injured down to the medical bay!" shouted Captain Morave as he ran across his bridge to where the Vice President had collapsed. "Madam Vice President, can you hear me? Are you alright?" he said as he checked her for serious injury. Stirring slightly, Jacquelyn Hamilton, Vice Pres

By a strange twist of fate and luck, I just happened to come across a Thread Necromancer the other day, and he offered me to revive one thread. Well of course, I knew exactly which one that I wanted-but not in the way y'all are thinking. I am currently revising and rewriting the previous chapters which I hope to post in a NEW AAR thread in the next few days, and then I will continue with the story in the next few weeks. I really liked this story

hmmm...while I do think my morale bonuses do seem lower (i really should be testing with facts and figures- ive just been more concerned with the raw ability to play the game so far) i'm not having the econ issues you seem to be experiencing, nor does the majority of the AI in my game. ok: Tested at Tough Difficulty across the board Dread Lords- Altarians- Class 12 Morale 30, Econ 10 Income 29, Spending 6, Maintenance 1 App

Reply to having trouble getting survey ship.... in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

it changes a little bit depending on which game version you are using (DL/DA vs TA) but generally speaking, Life Support is found in a Branch-off of the Logistics techs. So you know though, you can create your very own survey ships once you have researched "Sensors" without the needed Survey Ship techs. For example, I'll take a blank cargo hull, add some Impulse III engines, a Sensor Module, and then Basic Support and it'll be the pants off my Fla

Reply to Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

@Ragnar: I'm actually opposed to Libertarians because they believe in extremely limited government power- they are Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans; I don't mind gov't power as long as its being used judiciously and intelligently. @Dystopic: no, something I should look into maybe? @Loup: woot, we're almost the same age (i'm just a bit younger). I'd love for someone actually qualified for the job (not these careerists and

Reply to Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

in truth, i'd probably catergorize myself closest to a Hamiltonian ideology (he's not my avatar for nothing) which does share some values with the Republican thought; but there are some key differences. The power of judicial review was enshrined by the Federalists (vs the Republican strict reading), belief and support of individual liberty (civil rights), and a sound fiscal policy (which both parties lack); so I suppose one could say I am a Social Liberal but Fiscal Conservative- broad

I know I've played some MV games where I've "maxed" out the AI races abilities; Generally speaking, I just max out the inherent abilities (so for the Altarians, points go to Econ, Research, and Morale) though I find the Altarians the most "worthy" of the PQ bonus. I make them Pacifists. Yor are Industrialists as are Thalans. In both they get maxed out production points. Iconians are Technologists. Research ability, and I
