Reply to MCC is it fixed in DA 2? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I guess my big problem with that is, the TA version just instills MASSIVE amounts of luck on the player's behalf for flipping planets, whereas the DA version gives an economic boost. If a player was the luckiest SOB on the planet, they could emulate the TA MCC, but there isn't anything that could match the DA MCC. So while both are game mechanics, one is something that has a 0% chance to be replicated (DA) the other has a NEAR 0% chance to be replicated (TA).

Reply to New Sticky Post - Official 'home made' patches? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

"Official home made" sounds like one heck of an oxymoron. Mine as well just cut to the chase and call them "Unofficial patches". I doubt SD would say "yup, that's broke, we aren't going to fix it, but here is how YOU can fix it". So I doubt SD will endorse any fixes that it wouldn't do itself. That's just admittance that they would be lazy.

Yup, it's been a known problem and they said a fix will be in place for the next patch. In the mean time, consider those lost spies as defectors to local archeologists! Digging up information on dead empires.

Reply to Dark Avatar New game crashing and other issues in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

#1 Start the game up fresh, load a game, then attempt to start a new game from the main menu. Then, go and get the debugg.err file for DA and post it's contents in here to show what may be causing the crash. #2 Is it all races or just one that's doing this? Is it's color very close to grey/black?

[quote]Besides, it's now too powerful in it's new role anyway. (TA of course)[/quote] Really? Instant flipping of 4x influenced planets is OP in comparison to a +100% racial bonus to econ? In TA, when used in conjuction with heavy influence (/drool Dark Influence buildings) it's a powerful mock-invasion tool. However the DA version really helps fuel the military for a immense invasion force, as well as inflating econ scores... I'll give you equal power when

It goes on to the next tech in the tree branch. However, if you're at the end of the branch it'll pick another tech to pick up on. As for a proper que of tech, nope, it doesn't exist. Same goes for ship building ques.

I'd say that sleeping dogs miss it when food goes in thier dish, but that would be a bold-faced lie. We hear that shiznit in our sleep, just likes cats and a can-opener. Ok...ok. I'll vote to allow CaptainYar to give 800bc of his money to each of the minors as a gifts of good will as long as he makes sure they know there is a seat for them in the gallery. Is that a good enough compromise?

Reply to Surrendered/Destroyed Civilization - Losing Spies in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

They aren't lost, if you had enough on the race to still be able to gain intel levels on them in time, you'll continue to climb to that max. It's odd to get that message a few weeks after a race's demise. I've reported it a while back, it was said it'll be in the next patch (this was after 2.02 was already out).

#2 If neither race does't have Super Warrior (like Arceans) then they at least get to shoot once. If a round ends with both sides ships 'destroyed' then whomever has the better stats wins with 1 hp remaining. #3 You need the latter. For each level of intel you must have that many spies placed.
