Reply to Gas Prices: $12-$15/gallon in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

So...? Current prices are 1.50 Euro per litre. About time you caught up.

Reply to The Political Machine shots: late beta screenshots in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Any chance for per-order using PayPal? I hate the fact that we can only purchase tokens by multiples of 10, as tokens are supposed to be fading out in the future...

Reply to Play after win? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Sadly, no. You can, however, disable all victory conditions except the military one.

Reply to Minor Race Graphical Glitch on Ship in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

That pink is actually at the BACK of the ship (compare with thumbnail) and is just an unfortunate choice for the engine colour...

Reply to Minor Race Graphical Glitch on Ship in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

What exactly is the glitch?

Reply to Beam weapons seems a lot stronger than the other options in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

You also have to take into account that weapon size scales with hull size. AFAIK missiles scale the least, meaning they are more effective on large / huge hulls than beam weapons.

Reply to It's a feature, not a bug in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Well, I always said: The newest Office was developed with XBox controllers in mind. :P

[quote]... everyone has a 1 month holiday![/quote] Releasing another game is hardly a holiday... Especially if that game due to its nature has a much more pressing deadline.

Reply to Error says Dark Avatar needs to be updated but.... in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Update your video drivers.

Reply to It's quiet... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I remember that thread... That was the reason why I wanted to found a company in some strange country with bizarre holidays. :D

Reply to star colors in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

AFAIK star colour was never linked to planet habitability. (MoO might have done that, though.)

Reply to Trouble Influencing a planet, 1st game in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

On beginner, the AI most likely doesn't know about the danger of Influence. On the subject of Mars - just be patient. How fast planets flip is a bit random. It could happen during the next few turns, or you could have to wait a bit longer. You'll see the red 'rebellion' symbol next to Mars before it happens.

Reply to Terror Stars fail to destroy stars? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Wouldn't matter anyway - the Terror Star has no weapons, so it will always be destroyed by an attacking fleet.

Reply to Tech for worlds in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

That's actually a valid strategy, I think Mumblefratz perfected it. ;)

Reply to Latest Update WTF in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I wonder... Are you actually able to write a single post WITHOUT insulting anyone?

Reply to Red Arrows Banned - Unless You Help in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

After events such as the Ramstein disaster, it's surprising that Aerobatic airshows aren't banned in more countries.

Reply to Total GalCiv noob: Where do I start if I want a non-campaign game? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

If you want the story, play the old campaigns. You can do so in Dark Avatar (it loads Dread Lord campaign as well), but not Twilight. The campaigns simply aren't designed to handle the unique tech trees and other features of the last expansion. Personally, I never played the campaign beyond a mission or two during beta testing. I guess, if you just want to know the backstory, load them in the campaign editor and compile a print-out of the briefing and debriefings. ;)

Reply to About to purchase the Ultimate Bundle pack in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yes. All the stuff you purchased in SDC is still available. Impulse and SDC are just methods of delivery, both accessing the same central server.

Reply to Fog of War & Curiosity in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Well, the fog colour is fixed, as far as I know. Maybe it's stored somewhere in a .dxpack, but I doubt it.

Reply to Total GalCiv noob: Where do I start if I want a non-campaign game? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Dread Lords and Twilight play quite differently. I'd start with Twilight right away, it also has a couple of interface improvements that make playing much easier (such as various automation setting for ships).

Reply to Ascension victory = loss??? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Sounds like either still the beta or an installation of the release over the beta. ;)

Reply to More than 9 opponents? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

You mean, the UI isn't made to handle more opponents. I remember Brad stating that the AI and game engine would have no problems with that.

Reply to Is a Galciv 3 planed? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The next game will be the fantasy not-MoM, at least that was the latest information. And as that is planned for 2009, I guess that by the release of GalCiv3, everyone WILL have a new computer anyway. ;)

Reply to New Extreme Planets? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Planet types are hardcoded, unfortunately.

Reply to Big star system in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Correct. You can check this yourself in the TA map editor, maximum planets per star is five.
