Reply to economics in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

While it's harder to manage then in DA, it's still pretty simple. All you need to do now is actually pay attention to the maintenance cost of each improvement. For example, other than the first 5-7ish planets you should colonize, don't colonize another, unless you have 10bc/week to spare(cost of initial colony.) And be careful about building alot of research centers early on, cause they can cost alot. You should also check out that guys suggestion, and see if it works for you.

Reply to Why is usable tile placement...so stupid? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

It's more than "minor", imo. They shouldn't have boasted "The new planet surfaces are vastly improved", if all they did was draw some new maps, and let the computer place tiles stupidly. Any modder with time and skill can make new ones, so I hardly see any improvement, if it's still randomized. I don't mean to complain..but considering what they can do, I don't see why this isn't "vastly improved", like they claimed it to be. :/

Reply to Why is usable tile placement...so stupid? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

So were stuck with this absurd placement? With there only being so many maps, can't they assign each one specific areas that will be usable? I hardly believe this would be a drag on many computers, but if so, can we have a choice to enable a more process using placement? (Like the advanced AI. It can be a drag on comps, but we still have the choice to use it.) If thats too much to ask for, can you ATLEAST fix the homeworlds? Oh, and I don't think the planet quality bonus is working.. besides tha

Why is usable tile placement...so stupid? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Okay hi. I've been playing around, and I've noticed the computer is quite retarded when placing usable tiles. First of all, on Earth with the green thumb bonus, I start with a usable tile in ANTARTICA. Wtf? How can THAT be usable, and lets say, Australia not be? Looking past that, I've noticed some dumb placement on random worlds too, such as this one.

Loading custom maps? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, I finally got TotA today, and I'm having trouble getting a custom map to load. I dled the Near Map from the library, and even made my own, but when I try to play them, I can't find em anywhere. On newgame, I looked in Custom Maps, but couldn't find either. I put them both in My Games> GC2Twilight > Custom Maps. Thanks for the help.

Ordering a game with a Visa Creditcard giftcard. in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Okay hi. A week ago I tried to order Twilight of the Arnor with a VISA creditcard giftcard, but it declined me for not having the right name. I figured out they changed how the cards work, and after waiting a week to get my money back, I'm ready to try again. When it tells you "Cardholder Name; † As printed exactly on Credit Card", do I type GIFT CARD RECIPIENT as it says ON the card, or the name I registered the card under? I'm guessing the second one,

Reply to Latest Update WTF in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I haven't bought TotA yet, cause I'm awaiting a reply from support, but if it's taking you 50 turns to research techs like that, you might wanna develop an "academy planet", or two. No clue what to suggest with the economy.

Reply to Why can't I order Twilight of the Arnor? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've already called the number, and it said the remaining balance was 20$(What it would have been if it ordered.) I also looked online, and it says I purchased something that costs 29.95 from Stardock Systems. So, I don't know what went wrong. But I'll contact the support email.

Reply to Highlights of what's new in Twilight of the Arnor in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Looks great, and can't wait to play it. I saw that it says you made ship graphics better, and made the memory usage less, but about that Immense galaxy size, did you guys fix the memory leakage that makes finishing a game on a huge map nearly impossible without multiple "out of memory" errors? Oh, and we already have that History menu, and that "new" event you have posted. >_>
