In multi-player there needs to be an unrecoverable point assessed so the loser cant just take 3 ships and hop around the galaxy forever. It a very anti-climactic ending that never ends.
yeah i gave up and ordered online, its ridiculous
You guys are pathetic and have no self control. The worst part is..... I am 36, thought I was done with game addiction and yet my wife hates you because I can't walk away from the game either. The worst part is I am not very good at the game lol. It's still great though. "My name is Chris and I am an addict"
I also got this at over 500kb And what was said before is completely right, .11 kbs on any speed connection is a problem on your end. You need to speak with your provider, not these guys. Call the provider's tech support and they should be able to help you. The only other possibility is that you live in one of those countries that has had problems with infrastructure due to the undersea cables being cut :)
CONGRATULATIONS! And well deserved, just one thing. As you realize more success and grow, please....please.....PLEASE don't forget that your overall love for what you produce and exemplary service afterwards (updates etc) are large factors in your success. EA used to be a good company and now they are horrid (do you know that NHL 08 for PC never got a single update and is still working off the original out of date rosters from months before the season started - mid summer 2007?
no I'm sure I've seen artifacts on small maps
[quote] The AI is pretty good. Unfortunately it won't fight you unless it is sure of a victory, so most of your time is spent chasing them in circles around solar systems. They need to change that about the AI. [/quote] Totally agreed, The AI is great but it should know the difference between when it has
lol nice work...pirates aren't too tough and honestly if you aren't ready to defend them then you should be winning the bid They really aren't that mean. The AI complaints are simply from people that can't accept a learning curve. I appreciate your hard stance and pllleeaaasssse don't dumb this game down for those who forget that strategy is important. Planet defences are quite effective actually.
I can see this is going to be good and I am looking forward to it and the improvements you know will follow (I just bought the game in the last couple of hours but after galciv I have faith). That being said, the tutorials are really poorly designed, disjointed and frustrating. I won't get turned off by them but I'll bet there will be a lot of people that will get this game by whatever means necessary to test it and become frustrated before they are hooked and subsequently buy it.

[quote]Yes i love the eye candy but due to some annoyances like this i still prefer galactic civilization.. [/quote] If you remember way back, there were a lot of problems with that at first too. The key point is stardock is VERY active with updates and improvements....this game will evolve into a great one just like galciv did (it didn't start that way....plenty of annoyances). I think part of the reason it is so great is because stardock's superior interaction with customer
[quote]I noticed you even suggest in [I]the download[/I] that we backup the files....how?[/quote] I meant in [I]the purchase e-mail[/I].....regardless, to make it easier on your support staff in the long run (and safer for us), could you supply more info?
So I broke down, couldn't wait any longer for retail release and bought the digital download. I noticed you even suggest in the download that we backup the files....how? I assume the install files are what we want, not the installed game......where do I find this? Is there an image available? I'm confused
I haven't even played yet but I'm sure it's the same eith every game when newly released..... People always complain it's too hard to start and then a week after it's been out everyone complains it is too easy. Just give it some time so you can get used to it and get good :)
[quote]Don't complain, us Aussies/New Zealanders have to wait longer than you guys to get it to RETAIL, in Europe, they won't have it at all. [/quote] I understand other countries are worse but the game was made in Canada.........you'd think that would make things better for us........
Ordering directly from stardock is unfortunately way too expensive given: 1) I want a real manual, not a .pdf so digital alone is no good, not to mention paying $5 more for a download than getting the box makes no sense 2) 39.95 in the store vs. $49.95 U.S. plus $20 shipping is ridiculous...a surcharge of $30 on a $40 game is simply not reasonable. The collectors extras are nice and all but I can live without a mysterious soundtrack which I am sure isn't worth $30. Li
Yeah sort of like that but a lot more B.S. because it's just distribution. I mean the game was made in canada but we have to pay crazy shipping from the states if ordering online or we have to wait longer for it to come out in stores. Cruel joke.
I would imagine it has something to do with the combination of: 1) No queue system to put purchases in any specific order 2) Someone who orders in advance isn't necessarily online the moment it's available while someone that hits "buy now" is. The "buy now" can't be told to wait or the sale might be lost. 3) Limited bandwidth and a lot of requests. All the yelling about improper treatment is really quite silly, just understand this isn't a major game developer and they
[B]1) Can someone clearly state some country release dates?[/B] For instance, I am in Canada (Toronto) and EBgames just told me it's coming out on the 8th while future shop said maybe tomorrow (the 5th) but he really didn't know..... I just want to know what day I should knock on every retail chain until I find it as I realize some stores might have distribution problems (Although if it's developed in Canada, releasing it later in Canada than the U.S. would make me cry lol). <
I haven't played for awhile and can't remember how to have all my starports start building the same ship without having to through them all one by one. I know I used to be able to do this, can anyone remind me? I can't find the answer anywhere....
I just found the commericial on utube for that pong console LOL check out how amazingly different the Tennis, Hockey and Handball settings are on the Telstar! It's all just pong (for those who don't remember, tennis is true pong) [link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdjE4Yywmpc"]Telstar Commercial[/link]
I had a "Telstar" which was basically a Pong console (LOL here's a picture of it I just found: [link="http://www.vidgame.net/PONG/TELSTAR.html"]TELSTAR[/link] ). Keep in mind that this console had a couple of games built-in, it was long before systems that could use multiple games like the atari or Intellivision (I loved "Utopia" for Intellivision). I also loved "Choplifter" for the Apple IIe and "MoonPatrol" Man I haven't thought about these games for around 25 years lol
