Drengin, Super Dominator Ability, declare war. That's how that ability works - it gives you countless, nearly useless cannon fodder ships to throw at your opponent.

Congratulations and welcome to the club! And you see more explicit material in everyday primetime commercials. ;)

Yes, I'm also hoping that we get at least fully functional medals sometime...

Reply to Difficulty playing in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

My guess also would be to look more closely at the sliders. Outproducing the Thalans also can be difficult, due to their Super Ability. Try playing against different opponents first, if you find you fall behind too often, or turn abilities off. Btw. The AI does not cheat, at least at anything below challenging.

Reply to Skin Windows with SkinStudio in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

After using WB6 for quite a while now, I figured I might give SkinStudio a go myself. 15 Euro is hardly much for the power to possibly create my own skins. ;) One question, though - are there any tutorial for SKS and GIMP as a graphic suite? Or must-have GIMP plugins for easier development? The tutorials I found after a quick look at the SkinStudio page are all working with Photoshop.

It's most definitely alive! I haven't actually seen the Vanir tech tree yet, but what I've seen of the other races is well worth the wait. ;)

Reply to Twilight of arnor not working on Windows 7 in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Judging W7-64 performance based on XP-32 IS a bit ... well ... optimistic. :P Best bet would be to send debug logs etc. to Stardock so they can start working on full compatibility.

Is ObjectDock still being worked on? The pay-version, I mean? In the latest beta is still the bug with tray-icons not appearing under Vista and I was too lazy to roll back to last release in hopes of a quick fix. ;)

Reply to Different Camera view in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

This shortcut does not work unless cheats are enabled, sadly. :( SD, please, make this an option or generally available 'hidden' feature?!

No.

Reply to Is gaming on a netbook feasible? in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Netbooks should be perfect for running roguelikes, though.

Reply to Different Camera view in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

The question is: Why is this available only through cheat-codes? It should be a normal option - I surely would like to use that, but enabling cheats makes MV games 'go boom'. :(

Reply to Paradox Games come to Impulse in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="CrazyC0330" reply="13" id="2019190"]Cool. Glad to hear that more companies are starting to sign on. Awesome work, Impulse guys! Now you just need to convince Shrapnelgames to publish their catalogue via Impulse as well if you guys have ideas for more companies, it's cool to tell us at Stardock about it, but you should also go to the forums of those companies and let them know about Impulse there too. I can't hurt. The more we spread the word

Reply to Is gaming on a netbook feasible? in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]whats with some of these nonsense about not being able to game on a notebook.[/quote] No one's talking about notebooks. The question was if gaming on a netbook is possible. To which I'd say: Definitely not.

Reply to IT'S ALIVE!!! in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

I think more / faster RAM on the video card would be more important on high resolutions than 'normal' RAM? Concerning OC: If you don't know what you're doing there, don't. Especially as a quadcore should be enough to run pretty much anything on the market without endangering your hardware and voiding any warranties. ;)

Reply to error when installing Impulse in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Even if your current user is an admin, you may have to explicitly tell Vista to 'launch as administrator' or some such, if you haven't disabled UAC.

Reply to Paradox Games come to Impulse in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Very cool! Now you just need to convince Shrapnelgames to publish their catalogue via Impulse as well. I think many here would appreciate a downloadable version of Dominions 3, for example. :D

Reply to Good while it lasted in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]GalCiv2 is simply too buggy in various aspects.[/quote] Are you sure you're playing the latest 2.02 version? Because I haven't seen any gamebreaking bugs or CTDs for quite a while. The forum speed varies, but generally seems quite fast on my end at least. And as the reply-editor is WYSIWYG, I haven't missed preview mode either. Although I have to admit, Impulse download speeds sometime ARE excruciatingly slow, down to under 100 kB/s. <

Reply to Nobb: Where are the ships? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Hm. In DA, there are multiple prerequisites for the pre-built ships. You might not only need new weapons, but engines, sensors, miniaturisation, ... Also, those predesigned ships simply are inferior, that's why they got cut in TA. If you don't want to spend much time in the designer, you can always just double-click the components and they will get added in a more or less sensible place.

Reply to Precursor ships in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I don't think so, they can appear quite early. But the DA precursors ARE weaker than their TA counterparts. (Maybe because they can be found earlier?)
