Reply to Turn button disappears in the middle of game in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

What version of TA are you playing? I remember when this was happening, I would quickly pop around the map, or go to select a ship, or even bring up the planetarty screen then close out of it. That seemed to wake up the game again. However, one thing to note since you mentioned 'epic game' is that if the Dregin are in the game and just had gone to war with someone...they probably have thousands of those damned cruisers right now, each individually attackng/moving.

Reply to Spies and surrenders in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="LTjim" reply="4" id="2054649"]Also, is that same spy-die bug present when a civ gets completely conquered? Note, the Q would apply to the case where another race conquers and when it's your OWN race that conquers. That is, if one has 4 passive anf 10 active spies on a civ and its last planets are conquered in one multi-invasion turn, what happens to those spies? (Turning off surrenders might not be enough for this bug)[/quote] Active (

Reply to Its my space, stay out! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

But it's not 'your' space. The planets are yours, any star bases are yours, but the open space isn't anybody's. You hold influence there, but it's not your empire there. That's the most common response to such questions. I would call BS though on that answer due to the UP vote about battle-ready ships being moved out of the opponent's space. If it's not their space, then why move the ships out right? I think even a simple "threaten" diplomacy action wou

Hrm, my 2bc on this. Chase after the good looking ones now, w/in the age range you're willing to be seen dating. After you are 18 though, start thinking about how mature they are. Back in HS they are going to immature, thus the root of the word. After they are out of HS though, HS mentalities get real old...fast. I know a couple women my wife (1 grade behind me back then) went to school with that are still stuck back in HS's drama clicks, HS for us was 9-10 yea

Eh, lets try to get this back on the Caprica track. Sorry for the derailment. It will be interesting to see things pre-BSG...but i'm unsure how well I'll like it. There is something about the human struggle in BSG that has held me to that show. I guess I cannot demonize something I have yet to watch though, and thus I'll give it a slot on the DVR when the time comes.

Reply to "Caprica" news for all the BSG fans in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

The one good thing I've liked about BSG is that the lines of good and evil are blurred. Even in reality good & evil aren't consistant, one side would think the other is evil and vice versa. Constantly in BSG they are mixing up who you may be rooting for. That is one thing that ST & SG lacked...realism in theology. In those series, you knewwho was the good guys every time and those good guys won every episode. Really, what's the entertainment in that?&nbsp

I hope that some year 2.03 will come out. I reported a bug in passive spies not being refunded to you upon a civs destruction and got the answer "we got a fix for it now, thank you". ~checks his calander~ that was 2 months ago.

I'm not gonna give up yet. With that bone you just tossed, I'll have to gnaw on for a bit and wonder what could you place in a fleet with the TS that would make it move faster, yet not be a ship w/ a module that...makes the fleet go faster. I know there is a movement bug with constructors getting to a starbase, but I am not too sure how that could be exploited for such a task. What I'm speaking of is that if you have a constructor w/ 0 movement left a parsec from a star ba
