And if you going to up the difficulty level, i would recommend playing on a larger map anyhow. Its a little easier to recover if you goof something up and your borders arent as close.

If you loaded the Gold Edition, when you start the game theres a button on the bottom of that first screen that says "switch chapters". Push that button. It switches you between DL and DA.

I just go to Metaverse--> High Scores ---> type in "Sunburn" on the "search top player" line and it pulls him right up. Is that different or easier than doing all that stuff posted above?

Reply to TA, focus buttons and the all-X strategy (questions!) in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

And I would hope you dont feel you are truly forced into an all-X strat in DA to compete or to be "optimal", because that is really not true. I rarely use that sort of strategy and usually play a more balanced approach and really don't see it as sub-optimal. They all have pros and cons.

Reply to Is the game optimised for tiny maps? in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I do believe the game is "tested" on smaller maps, so yes, playing on the larger maps will probably increase the chances of seeing weird happenings like you mentioned above. Although, a few I don't understand what you are getting at. The Drengin Super Ability is based on number of ships you have and somewhat based on the number of opponents you have (since more opponents = more opportunity to declare war) Map size doesnt really matter other than the fact your ships can reach the oppon

Reply to Couple quick noob questions in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

You can right click techs to get a description. Until you learn which techs are what, and where they are on the tree (which wont take as long as you think it will), having a list somewhere to look at isnt a bad idea, either. For autopilot option, double click on the ship in question, and it will bring up a list of things you can tell it to do, like auto-survey, etc. If you just want to turn autoPILOT off, click on the ship to select it, then right click on the ship again to turn off t

Reply to Couple quick noob questions in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

1. Techs are pretty much set in stone what the AI will pay for them. The higher your diplo skill and the lower the AIs, that amount will shift in your direction. BUT, the more the AI has in cash, it seems the more they are willing to pay, so if you see the AI only has a few hundred BC you might want to wait to try again later. 2. You'll have to turn auto-pilot off and move the ship to the anomoly, then turn it back on when your done if you dont want it to "jump" to the next thing like

Reply to Movies Based on Games vs Games Based on Movies in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Yea, I rather liked quite a few of the Star Wars games based on the movies. Battlefront for sure, but also some of the older games like "X-Wing VS. TIE" and there was FPS game that came out a long time ago, Dark Forces maybe?? As for movies based on games...thats quite a bit harder to find good ones. Tomb Raider was "ok". Maybe Mortal Kombat. No, wait. Not Mortal Kombat...

Economy economy economy. Whenever you are trying to decide what to build next on a planet, if you arent sure what to choose, choose an econ structure. As for your homeworld, I would try NOT to build trade goods on your home planet. Put labs, factories, or econ buildings. Put your trade goods on some other secondary planet. make your PQ 10+ planets manufactoring/research planets. Anything under 10, unless strategically located, make it a econ. planet, lots of banks with 1 fa

English lesson #1: [U][I][B]Saying[/B][/I][/U] you are a Nazi (even though I can guarantee you I am not) is not racism. Being prejudice against someone that you interpret as being racially or intrinsically different from you is racism. By your reasoning, if I admitted to you that I am made of juicy, plump sausage parts, then I would have to ask you, "Please do not say you are Polish, because your people stuff me into sheep intestines and eat me"...and that's racist!
