Sure, what do you want to know? I will try and help.
You can just hit the Print Screen Button on you keybord. Then you can paste it into Paint or any other Graphics application. There are alot of free apps out there that will grab the screen and save it to a file if you do a google serch for them.
That is crazy..... Cant say much more.
This is a setting in the options. By default it only show Full battles if both sides are fleets. Try messing around with the Interface battles options.
Got some good news and some bad news. I just went to my "My Games\GalCiv2\" folder and changed opend the prefs.ini file and changed the resolution to 1280x700. And the game runs fine. Bad news, is it causes a few UI glitches. All of witch apear to just be cosmedic. So give it a try. In your prefs.ini file change the resolution setting to. [Video] DisplayWidth=1280 DisplayHeight=720 ColorDepth=32 Fullscreen=1 or Fullscreen=0 if you want it to b
Sweet. The funny thing is as we developed the game we kept saying, eventualy this wont be fun and you will just slam stuff togeather. But months and months later I still labor over getting my ships just right. I guess that means I was wrong, becuse its still fun. I also think as more extras become avalible online it will get even better.
Thank you very much. Its alway nice to here from the people thing went smothly from. I guess it one of the problems of being in the game industry . If people like the game thay tend to be to busy playing it to comment on the forums. So all what we tend to see most is the people who run into problems. Oh well once we fix every problem it will be ok.
We hope to do more as time alows, and make them avalible for download. We would like to do some on Early, midlle, and late game statagys. Feal free to let us know if you feal there is a subject that should be in the totorails and is not.
I would love to see a screen shot of that, could be funny.
About a month or so ago, I got a new Dell XPS, dulel core system. With a Gfroce 6800. I also went crazy an got the 24" flat panel. So I have been running both GalCiv2 and Doom3 on the system over the last month and not looked at the Video Card temperature at all. This post got me thinking, so tonight I did some test. While running normal windowsXP with two monitors, one 1920x1200 and one 1280x1024, my card idols at abut 52 to 53 degrees. My first experiment was to try Doo

YunHarla, If you dont want the rotation to snap back, go to options and uncheck "snap back"
I always make my Fast colony, and my cheep colony. Then in every game I have them avalible on the first turn.
Ir is posible that the AI race is building alot of Culture bosting impovments, you can almost always overwelm the with Influancer starbases if you want to do the work. How powerfull you can make the starbase is determined how far up the culture branch of the tech tree you are. Also if that race has any moral resourse it can make it much harder to bring about a flip. If you are at war with the race, or are willing to be, destroy any Influancer and Moral Resourses thay have.
If you dont want the autorun, brose to the Program Files\ \Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2 folder and Make a short cut to the Galciv2.exe file. and use that to launch.
I think the problem is you screen shot is to big... Just kidding. I beleve the problem is you have to many people and population presuse is killing your aproval. try removeing on of the farms.
Windowed mode is nice if you want to be able to play a game and do other things at the same time. Specaily if you have a high res moniture. I have been running a 1600x900 window on my 1920 x 1200 screen and it works great.
we use Pandasofts exporter from 3DS Max, you can get it here. http://www.andytather.co.uk/Panda/directxmax.aspx We will try and get some ship desgin doc's as soon as posible. At the moment we are spending all are time helping out on support for the release.
As for the vidio, You most likly need to download the multimeida pack, and probobly the totoraials. You can get them buy clicking on the + next to Gallactic Civilizations in stardock central. The entire game is like 1.4 gigs. When designing a ship if you have a design you want to improve on simply go to the ship yard screen. Select the ship you like and click upgrade. then you can tweek it all you want, then simply save it as a new design name and you will have both the original and
The + and - keys will zoom your view in and out.
I will look into the sliders and see what I can do, perhaps we can get them a bit happyer in a future update
Cactoblasta, have you watched the totorials? Also Brad has posted several game play examples on the site. check out the jurnals section.
We will have the area for shareing designs on the site some time soon. If you have someone a friend now you want to share designs with you can simply email them the ship configuration saved in the "my games\galcive2\ships" folder.
