Anyone who has 77% of the market by the most conservative estimate can define whatever standard they like. That's why it's called a monopoly. Well,,only to a certain extent. See,,it wasn't M$ who made the HTML standard...they only made a program to display it. They certainly never had anything close 70% of the market for HTML-editors.<br/
so websites *do* have a vested interest (and obligation) of making sure that IE works. I do not agree at all here. It is MicroSoft who has an obligation to have their browser conform with the W3C standards instead of some obscure MSnetwork dito. As for the rest,,I should mention that I'm on a tweaked SP2 using Firefox 1,5,0,8 run on
IF he were deeply rooted in business then THIS idea of a cash cap wouldn't even exist. On the contrary. A company or goverment hoarding cash will suffer consequences,,be it stockholders demanding larger payouts or paxpayers demanding that the cash is spent on inprovements that while giving the citizens an easier life doesn't improve the goverment
StarDock doesn't want the players to have loads of cash laying around according to Frogboy. Instead of setting a hardcap at 20k,,you get an economic penalty. There are three ways to deal with it: 1) Spend your cash every turn on Social/Economic projects or hand it over to other races (bet they gonna like you eventually 2) Raise your income even further to compensate for it.<b
It sounds like you need to work on your economy a bit more. Aye. That was what I did once I solved the Drengin issue. I did however got caught with my pants down near the end of my own colony rush. Ships are fo
Well,,my Military score tends to be somewhat...disappointing. It seems like being hyper efficient in killing and keeping my losses to an absolute minimum both for ships and troops isn't what is premiered here Like my last game... For once I did well in the colony rush,,boxing Dregin into the southwest corner and the Terrans to the west side. What I didn't think of was that cutting th
Research score is based on research production not total amount of techs researched. IF that is the case,,does that mean you can pad the score by keeping the research facilities after the techtreeis all done? If not,,that would indicate a finite number of points to research,,which in turn would lead to techtrading lowering the total amo
In several threads, developers have flat out said this is the case. In fact, it would make no sense that the algorithm would stop working on a software level at a certain number. No sense at all. Unless everyone lines up to buy an outranged Cray-2,,there is no way for the current game to be playable with speeds reaching 80 and above. <br
learn how to quote properly so we may see what exactly it is you are referring to. The proper way of doing it is to mark the text (either by clicking and holding down the LMB and dragging the marker over the text OR setting the marker at one end and,,while holding down the shift button,,and then either use the arrow keys or click LMB at the end
Veteran ships are worth upgrading...the rest is either scrapped or gifted away
Say you play Thalan. Then you design your Battleship (for instance) without any Functional components and save it as Thalan Battleship. Next time you play,,as soon as you have researched Large scale building,,the ship will appear in your Shipyard. Ass whatever components you desire and then save it under another name ,,for example Mighty Battleship,,which you will use when playing.
It has already been concluded that the problem is not that the AI accepts the gifts,,but that it's unable to get rid of obsolete ships burdening the economy with absurd maintence.

Yor invading a Terran planet would be like the future depicted in the Terminator movies. You see any civilians refusing to fight? Only those already dead/destroyed. You see any survivors kept alive? Only those intended to be utilized in a specific task. Assuming you are a civilian taxpayer already,,what would your own choise be should someone like Drengin invade,,fight to death or just give your self up as ape-food? Should Earth be conquered by Al
How do you tell this? I use the Agnitum Outpost firewall since I do not fancy the one built into WinXP (proSP2). There are some other rules governing FireFox (FTP,,SOCKS,,Proxy etc) but these does not interfere with the above ports.
That is the beauty of GalCiv2. Unlike a certain RTS game,,where the Alliance and the Horde are basicly the same stuff with different names,,the races here have their own distinct flavour. This mean you'll have to adapt your playstyle with this in mind. I'd also recommend that you go up to at least Tough as soon as you've learned the controls as you otherwise (naturally indeed) will aquire habits that simply won't work on the higher levels,,and tend to ruin the game for you.
This works especialy well with large fleets .. a fleet of 10 troop carriers can take many planets on the same turn .. leveraging billions of troops multiple times! You'd get the same results sending one ship to each planet as the total number of soldiers does not alter the combat. Say you hit 18:3 on the invasion screen,,which equals 6:1.<br/
I usually have to (temporarly) disable my firewall to post. If I dont do that once I click the 'Post Comment' box,,I'll get a timed out msg. Faulty settings? Perhaps,,but this is the only forum I've had this problem with. Also,,ports 80-83 and 443 (http and https) are opened,so I'm kinda confused of the source for it.
How about an option to allocate all power to the engines? Using it would increase the speed of travel at the expence of weapons and defence being reduced to null until next turn. Doing so would solve the inability for the AI to 'see' threats far out as fast travelling ships would be harmless without slowing down gameplay when moving ships in friendly territory.
A city full of dodges? Not likely. A city full of ordinary vehicles with the best cars dodges? More acceptable, although I have no idea how good dodges are as cars. The option you seem to prefer is actually worse than the first one. It makes it a lot more difficult to spot product placing,,and hence see it for what it is; another way o
Never occured to me before,,but is that bonus applied to ALL freighters tradeing with me,,or is it like I thought,,only my own recive a bonus?

There are three ways to aquire tech: 1) Research it yourself. 2) Use diplomacy talking to the other races and get it from them. 3) Steal it,,either by spies (ineffective but possible) or by invading the other races' planets. Personly,,I have never managed to finish a game using only one of the above methods. First of all,,you need to know what you need . Sure,,Zero-point armour is nifty,,but if none of your opponents are using massdriver wea
I second that.
Playing big maps,,my main reason for speed isn't to 'cheeze' the AI but simply cut down the time waiting for ships getting in place. Generally,,it has little bearing on the combat itself,,as I take extreme care constructing the ships/fleets against the particular opponent,,preferably by outmost abusing whatever tech advantage I have. Generally,,I'll be quite disappointed if I lose more than half my HP in a single engagement. That means most of my warships travel in the 17-25 int
