To each their own. I personally like to have a little bit of 'me' in my games. My initials in real life are CSF. I have named my civ the Confederate Star Foundation, abbreviated CSF, so when i look at my ships it will say "CSF fleet" :D
I reently uninstalled then redownloaded galciv2 DL/DA from SDC bc i messed up something with my amatuer modding attempts. Playing my first game since reinstall I find I have the dreaded 3/0 fleet movement bug. This is only a 1.80e version issue. I JUST redownloaded and sintalled the game from SDC 3 days ago. SDC says I have version 1.80g installed. My game load screen says I am running 1.80e. But because SDC thinks I have 1.80g installed (why/how?) I cant download an update for my 1.80e
WHA?? double w00t! do they have a list of issues that were addressed?
The ability to destroy and rebuild (elsewhere) major capitals (mfg, econ, tech, etc). Hand in hand with this, change the fact that destruction of a colony reduces the planet to Class 0. Destroying a colony should, by rights, only destroy THE COLONY, not planet's ecosystem. When the English Colony at Roanoke was destroyed, the island didn't disappear (neither did the building for that matter) just the people. And if you're thinking the colony was destroyed a by massive core detonation or some suc
thanks all
Suppose I have 4 tiles available on a planet, all of which I am going to put research enhancing improvements on. One of the tiles has a +300% research bonus. If I put 3 xeno labs on the other tiles and my technological capital on the bonus tile, would that then mean that my technological capital would provide a 400% bonus increase to research on that planet (as it provides a 100% increase to research on a non bonus tile) OR would that meant that I just wasted a bonus tile because the tile only e
I'm still waiting for some sort of response from a dev or moderator. I don't think my request for such information was unreasonable. I suppose the squeaky wheel gets the grease, though, judging by Kryo's several responses to Belanos' FOW complaints. CTD on loading a saved game is showstopper, I don't have time to play alot at once, and so am forced to save and play again later, and everytime I do I wind up having to start a new game. Talk about 'pretty much unplayable'. Once again, bear in mind
Hear Hear! I second evil muppet's motion.
I'm surprised you ahvent heard of the CTD issue, it's all over the bugand DA forums. I wasn't suggesting they relase both at once, or one before the other. I wasn't, in fact, suggesting anything. I was just looking for information. As I said, don't want it to sound like I want an immediate and perfect fix yesterday. Information on the progress of fixing the saved game CTD issue, and information on an ETA to patch for both these issues would be appreciated. <
I figured it was an obscure operetta. Huh.
I hate to sound impatient, and this is not meant to flame, but I was wondering if there was any sort of estimate available for the release of the next patch. I'm not just eager for new features, there are two serious gameplay concerns that severely hamper my ability to play and enjoy the game. Both have been discussed in multiple threads, so I won't belabor the details, but suffice to say the CTD upon loading a saved game was bad enough, add to this the FOW/Map Clearing issue, and attempting to

Thanks for asking for our input. It is a great game overall, and the following suggestions are meant to maximize enjoyment of playing the game, rather than to be taken as a negative assessment of the existing game. Well except for this first one. * Please Please Please fix the save game bug that does not allow the loading of certain saved games, esopecially autosaves, at a certain point. I have yet to finish a new gaem started in 1.5 because of this. 1) An active perimete
what makes you think the AI CANT colonize PQ1 planets? I've never noticed one way or the other, but even if you've never seen it happen, it doesnt mean it's impossible. Is there a rule you're aware of that states this to a certainty?
Run that last one by me again? what's the difference? how do you figure out what secotr you're in. is 'sector' 1,3 not not at the ver bottom of the map? like when I click on the autopilot 'goto' my ship info screen says 'Destination 1,3' is that what they're talking about? I'm rather confused. ANd let me say the guy I'm hauling around is supposed to be giving me directions, and he hasn't said word one. Also, you said you were fighting the Dread Lords? Doesn't that violate the 'don't get noticed'

I can't seem to win the 'Death of the Korx' episode in the DA campaign. As far as I know I've satisfied they only two victory conditions of the chapter. But my ship carrying the emperor of korx is sitting in secotr 1,3, just like it says, and nothing is happening. I tried pressing the turn button after getting there thinkingthe game needed a full turn to realize what happened, but nada. The next turn after that the Korath spoke to me (which I assume violates the other condition of the scenario t
thanks
Should we be using the GCIIDA.exe or the DALaunch.exe to start a DA game?
I just checked it out, and did find saved files from GC II DA in the MyDocuments folder, but not all of them. Only the autosaves from my custom games, and the end game saves from my campaign games were present. Autosaves from my campaign games weren't there, and my personal saves from my custom games also weren't there. Any idea why this is, or where those other files would be?
thanks guys
Will do.
I've searched my GCII and GCIIDA folders twice, with a fine tooth cone, and cant find where the game stores your saved game files. Anybody have a suggestion?
So it would seem, and that's what I thought, but I figured the fact that I wasnt having new gameload issues or personal save issues (just autosave) made it slightly unique, at least for the purposes of usiung my debug file as a diagnostic tool.
I've had similar experiences, and similar thoughts. Before trading was ridculously easy, now it's far to difficult, and by difficult I mean the AI doesnt appear to be thinking rationally about the offer. For example, if I were to off the AI Impluse Drive Mark I and Warp Drive Mark I, it would say I'm trying to 'include worthless techs' in the trade. But Impulse Mark I isn't worthless, Each generation of propulsion provides an automatic speed+10 bonus. With what I was offering the AI wo
Also, I forgot to mention, I have had no difficulty yet with a CTD on starting a new game.
