Reply to Noob UI question - how to navigate ships? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

i was trying to follow the guide available and the specific section is here: http://www.jeffpinard.com/planet_management.htm the standard 'single' left click/right click option is what i can use, but its very cumbersome when you just want every ship you have to move to a certain spot. so if i see this planet that i want them to move to i don't wanna go to each ship individually and scroll the map back and forth doin

Reply to Farms? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

ok thanks guys i found it now. its in the research tree as you suggested. sorry for the noob question, but i'm still learning this game :)

Farms? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, I was wondering what happened to the farms? Pre-twilight you could always build these farms that boosted your population growth by increasing food production. Now when i play humans i don't have them. Is it impossible for the human race to now have a farm/population boost improvement for planets? or do you have to go down a specific branch in research? or do you have to trade it with other civilizations? thanks for any feedback

Noob UI question - how to navigate ships? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, i'm having a problem working with my ships. I'm trying to send several of my ships towards a planet. I read on a guide that you can select the planet via the 'Show Ships/Planet' button and then select the 'ship list' and click on the little targeting reticle for it to move towards the object you selected. the problem is that once i have my target planet selected either by clicking on it directly or selecting it through the list, and then i want to go to the ship list to te

ok thank you for the quick answer.

Demanding Tribute? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hi. I'm wondering if there is any way to demand resources from other player/AI controlled guys. I read the manual, went thorugh tutorial, searched forums and found nothing. it would be kinda weird if all we can do is 'give' metal, money, or chrystals. so is there a way to demand those things from teh AI or other players? thanks

This is what 'Star Wars Empire at War' should have been in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

When playing empire at war I always enjoyed the 'strategic map' the most in that game, but it was so bare bones and I wished it was more developed. Well I had high hopes for this game and thus preordered a couple of weeks ago and got to play it yesterday for a good amount of time. well i'm glad to report that this is everything i hoped it would be. To all those people who felt the same way about 'empire at war' as i did and are looking into this game right now, I can only recommend it to

Reply to No campaign? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

campaign would be nice i guess. but i don't miss it one iota. galciv2, civ4 etc may have some small campaign type modes (i don't even remember) but i never tried em anway. i always go with the random world mode.

Reply to Bug or 'feature' in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I agree that the system should stay the way it is right now. Makes sense and adds strategic depth.

Reply to Very Dissapointed? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I also do not agree with the OP. Without trying to flame anyone, but as most have stated you apparently had the wrong expectations. I clearly prefer 4X games over the likes of starcraft/C&C type RTSs. Sometimes 4X does get boring so I really like the mix b/w the two genres that this game offers. I will continue to prefer stuff like GalCiv2 and the Paradox games, but when i want intelligent fast paced action ( :P ) i'll play this game.

Reply to Pirates: The Worst (or Best) Part of the Game? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

While my opinion is based on a mere 4 hours of play (thus subject to change once i understand the intricacies more), I do admit that the only thing that i really disliked so far in this game are the constant pirate attacks. while i like the general idea, just the constant barage of attacks every 10-15 minutes is quite annoying and if there was an option for it i'd definately take advantage of that quite frequently until i get the hang of this game in more detail.

Reply to what about "Battle Chatter?" in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

i've played a whole lot of games starting in 1992 and i honestly can't remember a single game off the top of my head that had/has 'battle chatter', please list some because apparently i've missed out over the years (hmmm maybe wing commander/freelancer type games had it, but definately not enough to expect them in any game)

Have just preordered in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

well so i finally broke. after staring at the screenshots the past months and reading the forums here i've just decided to preorder. most of the comments seem to be rather positive so i hope i won't regret it (sure i won't). anyway just wanted to mention that. so the wait continues now...

awesome, thanks for the feedback. i'm counting down the days towards release

Random/Customized Maps? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

hi guys, i'm just wondering if this game will feature (or even exclusively be based on) random maps/or customly created maps as in other 4X games. i.e. in the beginning you select the size of the galaxy, how many planets, numbers of enemies etc. Or will it be strictly mission based with a coherent single player story like in other RTSs like starcraft or warhammer40k. thanks for any comments.
