Yeah I invaded a minor race and was surprised to see an extremely complex looking battle log as it was fought! On the left was the planet and hexes turning different colours as things happened. On the right was the log, saying what happened where - I didn't have a clue what it all meant lol Anyways, I had 3mil fighting his 14mil and I closely won after choosing bio warfare. Sorry no screenshot :(
Mine is downloading Beta 5 right now, 1.1GB :D
No amount of superlatives can sum up how I feel about this update :D
That sounds reasonable for the time being. Multiplayer it's less of an issue I think as everyone has an opportunity to use them, it's just another strategy with pros and cons that an AI wouldn't know about. Single player it's less obvious - I suppose it depends if the AI is going to use them or not. That was my original thinking, in that because it's not possible for the AI to use them, then I consider it an exploit. I do agree it's not a b
I'm back to thinking that maybe increased cost and weight per scanner added to a ship is the way to go as well as diminishing returns for each one added. That way you can put 2-3 on early ships at a push and have a useful range early on, but maybe later on you would have to use larger more costly ships (coupled with the increased cost per sensor part) to have a large range so wouldn't be able to have many, or at least it might mean you have fewer military ships as a trade off.
Now there's a very good idea I didn't even think of.
I just bought GalCiv 3 when it went to half price, loving it so far. I played Galciv2 for many many hours, and 3 is looking great! However, I was surprised to see that I can still easily make a 'Sensor Ship', literally just placing as many sensors as I can - no engines or weapons or anything else. After making just a handful fairly early on (before any wars are even close to starting) I have full sensor coverage of pretty much everything I need t

Thought I'd post how I managed to fix it by combining two different solutions. 1. I added the serial number into the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Drengin.net\GalCiv2 in a String value called Serial No. That let me open the Metaverse to log in, but crashed when I tried. 2. To fix that crash I downloaded <a href="http://sd.stardock.com/gc2_ultimate_2.04.2.zip"

I'm adding my frustration too. I've just installed GalCiv2 Ultimate fresh from Impulse. It's never been installed on this Win7 32-bit PC before. I fire up TA and am also told there is no serial number in the registry. I found this thread searching online, and all the fixes don't work for me due to the same reasons as Zerro0713.

I have an old AMD 4200 CPU which is way slower than most things sold today. Yet because I have an NVidia gf8800, I can run the latest games in full detail and hae it run smooth.. The only reason you need a really hefty cpu is for pushing excel to it's limits (I mean 500k rows doing lots of calculations), running a full 3d package, or something like that. Most people browse the web and don't play games.. You get ripped off by shops telling you you need the latest CPU to do this faster
I have played my first 2 metaverse games this week, 2 different tournament games. I won both and was quite happy with them, however it's amost as if they don't exist and I have no rank or anything still. I can find the 2 games I have played in my metaverse profile online, but it's like they don't count or something? Just a bit confused as to how it works :) Oh and it's been a good 5 days or more since the first game was completed.
I want to install TotA from Impulse. I have entered all 3 serials for the game, and installed Galciv 2 + Dark Avatar from CD. However, Impulse appears to ignore the fact I have it installed, and tries to make me download it all. Is there a way of making it see that I already have the game + DA installed? Or do I have to get the whole thing from Impulse? It's ok, I'll just download it all, it's going at 6MB / sec anyways.. I can't seem to delete my po
