@ Zyxpsilon: Thanks for the heads up. Truth be told, I just put down all of the major Mods that were on the first page - I was going to let people like you tell me what others should be on the list. I didn't want to risk putting up a Mod that didn't work or never got finished, or that just plain sucked. I'll start updating my list now - Thank you very much for the reply. Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~

Sorry for the triple-post. I'm just bumping this back to the top so that some new players that come by might have a chance to see it. Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
[quote who="DSep" reply="11" id="2004794"] that's why i said i'm back [/quote] Ahh, yes. Well, give me a break[e digicons]^_^[/e] - as you can probably see, I've been on these forums all day, and where I live, it's currently 9:30 PM. I know that's not late for some of you guys, but I've been up since 5 AM. I'm a little bit tired. When I'm tired, I miss some things.

@ DSep: I know that you guys went dead, but I also recently read your empire's thread. It seems to me like you brought your empire back to life, so I put you in the Active list. Thanks for the reply and Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~

@ puntarenas: BTW, nice score you logged today. I see you played as the Altarians - nice choice. I think you'll find the Altarian tech tree to be very similiar to the Drath tech tree if you play as them. A key difference is in the Super Abilities that each race gets, along with the Drath's War Profiteering bonuses. On the other hand, the Altarians get quite a few unique techs if you choose Good as your ethical alignment af
Hey Simon - I've spent some time looking through the entire DL section of the Library and I've got a few downloads that you could try out. Whether they work or not - I would assume they do, otherwise they probably wouldn't be on there, but if they don't - sorry. The links are: <a title="SHWM" href="http://library.galciv2.com/index.aspx?m=446" t

@ puntarenas: I think it makes sense just fine. And yes, the new tech trees are very cool, and the new strategies you have to come up with to play with the tech trees are cool, too. Thanks for the reply. Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
Thanks for the comment Mumblefratz. I really appreciate it. It is also very good to hear that this is just an ebb, and not a major fall of popularity for the game. I'll also take your comment on not burning myself out over the game to heart. I think that's a great point and again - I really appreciate the comment. Thank you very much and Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="16" id="2004470"] Then you don't understand New Frontiers. New Frontiers is a mod. It by definition (in this case) does not have access to the source code, which would be necessary for the changes you're describing. [/quote] I realize that it is a Mod - I just didn't know what kind of changes that would take. As for the rehaul of the speed sy

@ Embird: Good to hear that you're playing again. If you go to the MV Recruiting Center, you'll see that I still have the Gerontocracy in the "Active" list - it's nice to know that I put you guys in the right list. Thanks for the reply. @ Seth: Since you were twelve!?! That's pretty young. Good to hear that you're still a dedicated player. ~ Cypher ~

Thanks for the info Seth. Now I'm asking anyone that's considering making an MV empire to only create it if they are going to stick with it. Thanks. Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
I hope that they get rekindled - an overhaul would be very cool! If you need any ideas or help of somekind, I'll be glad to contribute. Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~

[quote who="Emperor_Seth" reply="17" id="2004402"]I play more offline games than MV games, with normal games there's more creative control and you could do what ever you want. I am the only MV empire emperor that doesn't exclusivly play on the MV. [/quote] That's perfectly fine with me Seth. I do get around to playing normal games as well. The important thing is that you occasionally are active in the MV and you took the time to make a really cool empire. Thanks for the rep
[quote who="antracer" reply="14" id="2004381"] Want to get to that planet? Ask for an access treaty. If the other party agrees, you can send ships etc in. Want economic access, military access? You need a treaty. As it is now you make a freighter and send it off. It makes no difference if the Drengin don't want your crap... Your ship just goes where you send it and you get coin. So much better if you had to sign a treaty before you could trade. It would be quite a feat to be able to trad
Hey Simon! Welcome to Galactic Civilizations II. It's great to see some new players around here. As to your question about recommended Mods - I look into it and see what information I can find. I'll have a reponse for you by the end of the day. BTW - if you want to learn more
Ahhh, yes. Unfortunately, many of the "Good" empires have been inactive. However, just because there are no empires who specifically say "The Tyranny of Good", doesn't mean you shouldn't join. I myself, as you can see from my medals, am a "Chaotic Good" player, yet I am on the Tyranny of Evil. Don't forget that these empires really are there just to unite players and let them form some frienships. So far, I haven't taken any heat for being good. As for somebody doing something about t
Hey guys. Yes, that's right, I've finished part 4 for my project. The post is entitled "The War Room". It's a place for new players to ask any questions that they have about strategy in GalCiv2, and it gives the veterans a chance to help out with their problems. Notice: This DOES NOT replace the new topic in the ToE forums about helpful links around
Greetings, fellow strategists. The War Room is a thread that will allow any player, new or old, to post strategies that they've found useful, or to simply ask questions on what to do in a certain situation, etc. Yes, this is another part of "Project Jumpstart", the project that I am currently undertaking to help revive the forums for GalCiv2. Any new players who have questions on certain things that they should do to help better their gameplay, this is the place to ask them. Any veter

@ whismerhill: I respect your opinion on the MV. I personally think that it's great, but like I said, I respect your opinion. Also, thanks for the info on how to exploit Google. Much appreciated. Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
Personally, I'm thinking more along the lines that the AI can't bring any of its MILITARY ships into our own space, unless we were allies or something. If someone that you didn't like just sent half of their navy into your country, would you honestly just sit their and watch it happen? As for the whole colony rush thing, I think that colony ship should get passage through any borde
I just released the 3rd part of my plan. The post is entitled "The Mod Development and Exchange Center". This will allow people to have a general forum where they can talk about everything Mod. There are also some helpful links in that thread that will help people to get around the Mod section of the forums a little easier. Check it out sometime and any comments that you have would be much appreciated. Thanks and Best Rega
Hello all you gamers out there who are creative enough to create their own Mod, or gamers who want learn about the different Mods out there. This is a thread where you can do just about anything Mod-related. You can talk about cool Mods, ask questions about Mods, or simply update people on how your Mod is coming along. This thread can be used as a somewhat "general" forum for everything to do with Mods. Even if you don't want to talk about your Mod here, just drop us a reply if you've
Hey guys: I just wanted to let everyone know that - as a 2nd part of my "Jumpstart" plan - I have created a post entitled "The Metaverse Recruiting Center". This will allow anyone new to the game or to the MV to make themselves known or ask some MV-related questions that they might have. Any comments that you've got would be much appreciated. Thanks

I would just like to add that I have just created a new post entitled "The Metaverse Recruiting Center". This post is for anyone who is either new to the game or just new to the MV. You can go there and make a reply to the thread if you have any questions related to the MV or if you are unsure about what empire you wish to join. It'll help you get noticed by the active empires, who will then try and help you decide on which empire to join. Thanks and Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
