Reply to Disapearing Turn Button in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I really do not understand this bug. Yesterday there was no way for me to continue my game - the turn button did neither appear in the main savegame, nor in the autosaves - even after reloading. Today i loaded the earliest autosave, tried it and it worked. I loaded my savegame that i had sent in, clicked on turn - and the button again did disappear. But today somehow i am able to just open the main menu, go back to the game and there it is - that definitely not worked yesterday. Strange thing. B

TotA Reviews in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

You can see at the main page that the reviewers like Twilight - for obvious reasons to those that already own it. I would just like to recommend one of my favorite websites to you where you can track the reviews and get an averaged score to get a good overview (not only for this game). Twilight is currently at 96%: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/942952.asp

Actually there would be one little thing - immense has more influence capability - or is influence only calculated by planets, not by the area controlled?

[quote]On the TA immense thing. I am playing an all abundant TA sandbox game right now and it is not looking like it's planet count is going to be much higher than a gigantic. Without more planets the scoring potential will remain in the same ballpark. I believe also that TA is somewhat handicapped in scoring potential from either DA or DL. I'll know more towards the end of this game, but the econ is a big part of those scores and I doubt your going to be able to make near as much per turn with

I think the score is basically the integral, that means the area under the curves, that are shown the Timelines screen. It is divided by some time dependent factor, so the score you get gets less whenn progressing in time. Correct me if im wrong.

Good to see i am not the only one disliking the new screen. It does look nice, but somehow something misses. I want to see soldiers fighting, not flags. Maybe SD can do something about it in 2.0

Reply to GameSpy: 5 out of 5! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

If you like GalCivII you have no other choice than cheering about TotA. GameSpy liked DA, so for us gamers it was obviuos it would get a real good review from them. But one question - Brad, doesnt it tease you a bit they call your storyline "cheesy". If I had written the story - and not for the game but actually in private for myself as a literaric experiment i would be a bit disappointed if they give that few attention to it. Congratulations, Stardock, you absolutely de

Reply to Immense Galaxy in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

You do not have to justify yourself playing in normal difficulty settings - i just wanted to know how much points you can get in immense and if it is profitable to play immense or if gigantic is just the same, only quicker. Your score just irritated me a bit. Btw, really try to play at least tough - it is actually more fun because only at this level all AI features are fully enabled. Just give it a try, especially if you play for fun and not in particular for scoring (i do play for fun

Does anyone know if it is right, that planet number is limited to the same value than in gigantic? Does immense give an advantage in scoring on the MV? I have just started one game but as you might imagine it really takes time until i can see my score...

In the middle you see the new invasion videos, on the map you see some blinking flags representing your troops (or something) and the planetary improvements that get destroyed in the battle. It is a matter of taste, i did like the old one as well.

[quote]5- Sliders. Because out of my homeworld's 16 BILLION people, I can't find enough workers to run both my single factory and research lab at full strength? I don't buy it. Of course, I don't like the planet improvement screen in the first place (one city per world, and it takes up ALL of North America?), but the sliders are just WEIRD. It's one thing to focus a planet on one thing, it's another when I have to focus my entire CIV on something every turn to get anything done. Need to bui

Reply to Please slam my game in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

It is really hard to get some ideas together - and that absolutely speaks for you, guys ;) But i might have some smaller suggestions, not in order: 1. I would like to have some kind of quick feedback if the points a new planetary improvement provides actually more or less effects than the best you already own. Sometimes you trade for a tech of the opponent and you then afterwards do realize that the other ones you already owned was actually better than the new one. Just values

What are your personal espionage suggestions for v2.0? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I just read SD is planning for an espionage upgrade in v2.0 of GCII. So i just feel free to open a thread for suggestions for a new spying system. Just my personal wishlist how the new espionage might look like ;) I know that it is only a patch. So the possibilities might be limited by the amount of work the programmers might invest into it. I will try to give my suggestions in a way that can be easily realized in the game. (I am not a programmer though, having not a real idea of wha

Cumulative bonus would seem a bit overpowerde to me. In a big galaxis make a few planets full of these and you could multiply your soldiering. I do not believe the AI could keep up with this by any means.

Reply to The post-Twilight road map in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

[quote] Then, probably in July or maybe early August we will be releasing Galactic Civilizations II v2.0. This update will affect all versions of GalCiv II but mostly Dark Avatar and Twilight. The biggest change will be the enhanced espionage system for DA and ToA users. There will also be additional graphical improvements in ToA to continue "future proofing" the game. The Metaverse will also be getting some much needed love with v2.0. After that, it'll depend on you. Our budget post 2.0
