Reply to GalCiv3? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Give Elemental a chance. The way it's going it will be a very good game. I love GC2 but I really am a fantasy fan first. However I can't wait to see if they will indeed do a GC3. It will be great.

Reply to AI suggested improvements and a couple bugs PLEASE READ in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I found this situation most fustrating. I build transports. No weapons and no armor. I send them to an ennemy plant and I leave it at it's doorstep. The planets as ships in orbit and notonce did I see the AI take one of their ship in orbit and attack my transport. Sometimes it take several turns before I have time to send a combat ship to destroy a planets defenses. Why not break orbit and destroy the transports it makes sense it's not protected a

Reply to Jack Thompson's foot-in-mouth disease reaches new stage in Everything Else Elemental Forums

I always laugh when I see specific people like Thompson fellow trying to enforce their own values on everybody else. I am a parent of three kids and I will be the judge of what they can and cannot play. Not this Thompson fellow. So if my kids do buy a game and I find it's not appropriate I WILL decide what to do. Nobody else. I wish somebody would tell him that

Reply to Too many hobbies, too little time (rambling) in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

I thank you for this little window into your life. I find it very interesting. It is cruel to have a veil for you and none for your kid. Pretty nasty LOL I have three young kids myself and a new house and now we just bought a camper. Last week-end we just replaced the 21' pool in the yard. Winter just killed the old one. Now we are preparing the camper for the vacation time. Then there's the house to finish painting and then the grass to cut and then there

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="6" id="2219851"] quoting post [...] That said, here are a few things that multiplayer in Elemental will have: 1. Multiplayer games will be hosted by us. Period. No peer to peer. Not even hosted on the user’s box. Our servers. No ports, no proxies, nothing. We’re hosting it. [...]Oh my god. This is Hellgate: London all over again.

Reply to Internal debates made external is better than beta in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I was just telling my wife that this is the first time I will play a game and that I will pretty much know how it got to the final release. I've been on the forum since it started and I can tell you this is so much fun and so dang interesting to see step by step the game progressing. Hats off to Stardock, you guys are really different from the others. They should copy you!!!

Reply to Elemental: Internal debates made external in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I'm also a camp 1 follower. Boobie said that in late game you can have tons of ressources to manage. If I take my Galciv2 game experience I rarely build a scout in late game. I only build warships and constructors. I rather doubt that in end game in elemental I will be transporting cheap level 1 helmets everywhere. More than liely most of the items I used previously will now be in the middens heap. Moreover Gouvenors will help out and as for ther

Reply to Planetary Invasion in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah that's true enough. I prefer the new one myself, but I would prefer something more tangible. At this point I just skip everyting since it makes no difference anyway because I have no control over the battle once it starts.

[quote]How do I build stacks o' doom? Do custom ships have to look all pretty or can the blindness just plop LAZERZ PEW PEW wherever and it'll do the job? [/quote] I for one care very little about creating ships. What I do in every game that I play is this: I choose a ship as a template ex Overlord. Then I go into engines and I add one by default. (I do not care where they install it) Then I go to weapons and I install as many weapons array as I can on my ship. Onc

Reply to Galactic Civilizations: The case for no multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

My games usually last for days. I like to play whenever I have a bit of time. Witha family of 5 that bit offree time is hard to get at. Multiplayer games are not for me. I prefer everything be for a single player game. There are so many multi player games out there we can certainly have one that is single player. I stopped playing mmo because I just did not have time to get online everyday to play it. If I want to play with a friend I'll get my board game out and we'll

Reply to Star Trek **SPOILERS** in Everything Else Elemental Forums

[quote]4. When given the choice between a vehicle that hovers, like the cop's bike pulling Kirk over, and a wheeled vehicle why choose the wheeled one. (A minor point and admittedly it comes down to taste but still a curiosity)[/quote] As I remember Kirk had always had an interest in Antique. IN Star trek 2 we see his appartment with tons of antiques. Bones in that scenes tells Kirk to regain his command before he becomes a permament addition to his antique collections.

Reply to Star Trek **SPOILERS** in Everything Else Elemental Forums

Man you guys are all very emotional about your Trek. I'm 35 years old. I've been watching Trek as far as I can remember. I just love my History of Star trek. The best movie ever for me is Kahn and then it's Star trek 6. My best series is TNG. My very best captain id Picard. Knowing all this I still liked the new movie. I am still struggling into accepting the new time line. But this is the only trek that's available to us and we should still find a way to enjoy

Reply to whats does approval actually do? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I would love for them to fix that election thing. It would be better if it was looking at the entire year instead of just 1 day. Seems like exploiting the game to me. But then again on occasion I have been doing it myself so....
