On my grandparent's Vista, I press 'Quit' and it's gone in under 10 seconds. At my sucky home computer,it can take between several minutes... or I have to power off. I think it's a question of speed
[quote] I still do NOT understand why each race onlY gets 1 research treaty and 1 economic treaty to trade with.... it should be unlimited or it should be a limit of 10 - to mirror the 10% given each time you share this 'treaty'. I hope this changed in TA.... it's SO silly to me that I can only use my research treaty once and my economic treaty once - kinda stupid actually. [/quote] No. It makes it a valuable commodity. Whereas technology
1. Each Civ (including you) has 1 econ treaty, and 1 research. They can give that treaty to someone, and they receive 10% of econ or research (though I don't think the the giver loses it). Anyway, either what happened to you was a bug, you misread the 'Treaties' screen, or you didn't bring econ treaty on his side (remember, you don't need to bring it on both sides--he can give you his treaty without you giving him one. So it's not exactly a treaty) 2. Alliances show as an option on the
[quote]If you want to see some more flash of the Dread Lords, let them live for a bit. I disregarded them when they showed up in my last match since I've smished them in the past without a peep from them. To my horror, then built up a PQ 41 planet filled with Industrial Sectors and 1 Stardock. Orbiting around that planet was a ship with 2000+ mass drivers rating. They were pumping out a cruiser every...6 or so rounds that had 100-200 mass drivers rating. At which point, they declared wa
My 2 cents. That would be cool. But not at all fitting with Galciv2. Guys, in 2007, one country has many, many different religions. In fact, religion is usually second to law. So, why would a country in [I]2227[/I] have only one? Pardon me, not a country, not even a planet, but a GALACTIC CIVILIZATION! Nice idea, but perhaps not for this game. (Krynn=exception)
[quote] There are only three major forces in the economy: supply, demand, and government regulation. Almost any effect you can see is a direct result of one or more of these forces. You left out the fourth, most powerful force: Greed. Greed pays the bribes to public officials who unfairly manipulate government regulations in favor of their corporate sugar daddies to damage the competition that would otherwise make a fair market m
It is best, for this amazing machine, to go with something that rolls off the tongue, and sounds cool. Terror Star. Deathstar. Starhammer. Star Eruptor, Nova Inducer, etc, are good and descriptive, but think: do they sound cool enough to roll off the tongue? "Now, we will deploy the ultimate weapon. Gentlemen, I present to you the Nova Inducer!" or "Now, we will deploy the ultimate weapon. Gentlemen,I present to you the Star
[quote] Its horrible gas people like managers like make them bad so its total nightmare [/quote] I hate this. People say, "Oh, it's this guy who owns oil, or this manager, who sets the high prices. *!*! him!" No. Nobody sets prices. The market sets prices, and the market sets correct prices. It can't help itself! When government sets prices, thing only get worse.
[quote] I mean, hell, look at Earth. We're already looking at severe overpopulation, and we're 6 billion people! [/quote] Did you know that you could fit the entire world population into Texas... and have less than the population density of New York City? Zarth
No. Jobs cannot be created or lost. This has been happening FOREVER! When these machines cause downsizing, these people go on to work at places where they are needed now: hospitals, research firms, etc... These machines are not destroying jobs, they are allowing people to do other things while their previous job is still done! It's a great thing!
[quote] "If a man does only what is required of him, he is a slave. If a man does more than is required of him, he is a free man" (ancient Arcean proverb) "If a man does only..."? Why would Arceans refer to themselves in such a way. [/quote] It's been through the Universal Translator. The Arceans don't call themselves "Arceans"!
You don't even need dual. But the more, the better on Galciv2.
Nooo. No, not really. Yes, I'm sure. No. That is, yes, you know, no. No.
Yes.
You know what? I'd buy a multiplayer expansion--multiplayer's cool, man. But only if it didn't affect the game. So... only in Galciv3, probably. You see... how does diplomacy work in multiplayer? Etc! Even if you could check the multiplayer checkbox, the game would be broken. So, only if you can do that. And no sweat, Stardock... I don't care enough for multiplayer: I mean how often can you actually play out a game with a friend?... only do it
[quote] It looks wonderful. It truly does but there is one issue I like to bring up. Earlier posts said that Civs that conquered planets with different improvements, such as slave pits, would be forced to make hard ethical choices. Still this posts "seems" to say that without the techonology, the improvement would be destroyed. [/quote] Yeah! That sounded really cool when I heard about it! What happened to that? I have no idea how it would be implemented,
[quote] I haven't tried the new beta yet, but may I suggest rather then destroying the buildings you don't have access to, you just make them disabled and put something like a big red "X" over them or something. That way, if I take over a planet and receive a bunch of useless buildings, I could decide to trade for that technology which would enable those buildings' capabilities. Otherwise, I could demo them myself. What do you think? [/q
[quote]Come on - get real. GalCiv2 is a great game, no doubt about it. I feel like I got my money's worth. Congrats. Now - where's the multiplayer? This is not 1994 anymore people. This is 2010. Well, almost. 2007 Quarter three. Quit making excuses. No one is asking Stardock to host a mp infrastructure - use Gamespy for that. Just add mp into the game. [/quote] Oh-that's nice of you. In fact, the Gamespy is a good idea. But you are missing somethi
Yes, this is a huge problem. Stardock will save us though
