Your friend would likely benefit as well. Otherwise, if you have a workstation farm at work, you might be able to find one with Win8 and run the trial on it.

@ Mumblefratz - Just a personal opinion, but with Start8, Win 8.1 is as good or better than Win 7, especially on older architecture like the Core2. It's leaner and gives some resources back to the application rather than having the OS suck so much up. You'll be able to tell the difference in speed right away. My gaming machine is a Core2 quad and it's lickity split with Win 8.1. The biggest complaint has been the new UI and I'm front and center in tha

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="17" id="3412205"]In the context of strategy games, choices that have deep and long-lasting (or permanent) consequences are what I'm looking for...imagine I'm playing a game as the self-righteous Altarians...I'd love to be hit with a tough choice: do you go on a crusade of righteousness that puts you at permanent war with everyone? or do you take the path of peace and are not allowed to build any combat ships? There's no "middle ground"
I fired up GalCiv2-TotA and played a game for the first time in forever.
Digisoft has a downloadable version of Win7 Pro 64 for about $70.00. http://www.genuine-products.com/Windows-7-Professional-SP1-64-Bit--Download-_p_265.html?gdftrk=gdfV26123_a_7c2662_a_7c9775_a_7c882224923026 Tiger Direct is more expensive at $135.00 + shipping, but they include the media if that sort of thing matters
There has been speculation that it might run on XP64, but the FAQ says you need Win7 or Win8. [quote]Q: What are the requirements to run Galactic Civilizations III? A: It will require a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or 8 along with a DirectX 10 or 11 compatible video card. There will be no 32-bit version. Most PC gamers in 2013 have this kind of hardware, and it allows us to create the best game possible for the majority of our customers.[/quote]
With all this talk of GC3, I figured I'd load up TOA and give it another shot. Not a metaverse game or anything. I played on normal difficulty and was disappointed in how poorly the AI did. I guess playing suicidal for so long spoiled me. Anyhow, I didn't build a single military ship. I thought I had influence victory turned off, but I won by influence fairly early. I'm not sure how that happened. I wasn't even through the tech tree

You can add any weapon you've researched to any ship as long as it fits. I wouldn't recommend building any core ship designs. You can design much better ships from the very beginning. Engines only increase speed. You'll need life support to extend range. Good hunting.

It's an old thread, so it's easy to miss. No reasonable person would expect you to read all of the threads. Stardock answered the "Preorder Cutoff Dates" thread... [quote who="Island Dog" reply="11" id="3405414"] There's no cutoff date at the moment. When/if it happens, I'm sure we will give a heads up so you can get your orders in before then. [/quote]
Hi all! It's good to see you here! You're probably already aware, but in case you're not, there's good news on the carrier front... [quote who="Frogboy" reply="38" id="3411692"] Those who like the idea of designing carriers and seeing carriers in action in fleet battles I think will be happy. Those who imagine fleet battles that play like MOO2 (i.e. where you're micro managing individual units) will be less happy.[/quote]
Nice catch, nomotog!
Hey Mumble! Good to see you in the new forums! :)
