Reply to Where does the US's obsession with the free market come from? in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

Replying to OP: because socialism is terrible for society/people/countries and the free market is good. This coming from a person educated about the issues, who actually has--gasp--reasons for believing the above. I'm not going to enumerate my arguments, because there's no point in getting into a socialism v capitalism argument, because no-one will convince anyone else. I understand that people have completely opposite positions from me. What I take offence to, and what I am respondin

Reply to Small GalCiv II updates? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

It would be nice if this could be taken care of: https://forums.galciv2.com/366363 (strange AI taunt behavior) Here's something I suggested once that would still be very nice: https://forums.galciv2.com/366364 (ability to randomize some races in a game while disabling or choosing others) Also, one thing I find myself doing often is switching between the Domestic window (for setting taxes) and the colony governor window (for seeing their ef

May I Suggest? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I thought of a small feature in Galciv that I, for one, would find very useful if Stardock had the time to code it into the next update. You can pick and choose races in the game setup screen, or you can set the number of races and randomize the race choice. It would be very useful, especially for those who have created custom races, for us to be able to, while selecting the 'random' option, pick out some races to not be included and some to definitely be included.</p

AI Taunts Bug in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

This is probably a known bug, but I thought I'd just bring to your attention that the AI, when taunting the player, (e.g. Haha! I am now researching XENO BIOLOGY! You're real screwed now!) fails to take into account whether it actually knows the player . Then of course we can conduct trade with some race who we've never even seen. I like the taunts, but it seems probable that a few simple lines of code could add a check to see if the race has met the player before taunting. (N

Reply to Installing from Disc issue in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

Definitely I'll install from Impulse. I said so in the first place. So it's probably an individual disc issue. To clarify, scratches in the disc could cause it to stop spinning, and the arm to click?

Reply to Installing from Disc issue in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

Sorry, I meant my DVD/CD disc, not the hard disc. I should have made that clear. I suppose that could apply to my disc drive too though. But here's the update: once that happened, I power-buttoned off. I tried again, and the exact same thing happened. But, I just succeeded installing a totally different game off a disc.

Installing from Disc issue in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if the tech buffs in these forums had guesses as to what happened with my disc (drive)/computer. I was attempting to install Galciv2, gold, from disc, on my new Macbook, BootCamp dual booted with Vista. When it got to about 25% installed, things started to freeze up. THe install program totally froze up. The disc, which normally makes the *whirrRRRRRRR...* noise, as it spins I assume, began to make the noise: *whirrrRRR* *click* *WHIRrrr* a

Reply to Where are these engines? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

There are techs to research, which give flat bonuses to speed sometimes (drives). These techs unlock engines, which are ship components. So: tech "X Drive" gives +10 to speed. It unlocks the "X Drive" component, which gives a further bonus.

Sounds like you've LOST the research. You need 8 military research base-thingies to research AND TO SUPPORT THE USAGE of the research. If you had eight, and one was lost, you need a new one.

Reply to So, uh, question. in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

The game is stored in two directories. The one you know, and the one that you say doesn't exist. It does. /Program Files/ is hidden by default. Show hidden files.
