Hello new recruits and enlistees. Welcome to the Metaverse. This forum post is for all newcomers to GalCiv2, or just newcomers to the MV.

A Brief Overview on the MV The Metaverse is one of a kind in that you can play on it whenever you want, and yo

Reply to Question about custom races in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

If I am understanding your question correctly, then yes, you are the Korx. Those extra 8, 9, or 10 ability points that you can spend before the start of each game are just there so that you can set your abilities to what you think will be most beneficial in your game. You are only counted as a custom race if you actually click the custom race icon on the screen where you pick your race. If I have totally misunderstood the

@ Galacerty: Yeah, I know this kind of stuff happens - I'm just trying to keep this game popular until the next version comes out. Then I won't have to worry because the forums will probably go insane with people who love the new game. Also, I think that any new player that views this post will be encouraged to hang around for a while. Best Regards. @ ElZoido: Yeah, I'm hoping I can stir up a little more interest with this post. The state of the forums is great, but there a still a fa

Reply to Military Strategy and Grand Strategy in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Along with what tetleytea said: If you are in a "cold war" (which I assume means that an AI is at 'wary' or 'hostile' with you) it is sometimes helpful to get that AI in a war with someone else. Several good things can come from this: The AI's opinion of you improves a bit because its too preoccupied with its current war. The AI's opinion doesn't change, but it may still be too distracted to attack you. Even if the AI declares war on you, its military is str

Hey Loups: Great job with the win on Suicidal. Thanks for making a post about what you learned, too - it'll help out everyone who reads it. I'm personally terrible on any level above Tough, but I'll try some of your strategies in the meantime. BTW - I'm not sure if calling the Altarians "terrible" on Suicidal meant that they sucked, or that they wer

BTW - In an effort to 'jumpstart' the AAR section of this website, I'm going to try and come up with my own soon. I've just got to get a good game going. I going to end up posting it on this website and the ToE site, so keep on the look out in the next week or two. *sigh* This has been a very long, yet interesting day; at least for me. <

[quote who="Taliesin" reply="23" id="2003565"] All this talk of Galciv2 loosing popularity has suddenly made these forums feel so lonely and empty... SOMEBODY HUG ME!!!

Well, it is, but you don't need to feel lonely. All of us here are obviously

[quote who="Emperor_Seth" reply="21" id="2003512"] Yeah well in the meantime I will be making ship exspansion packs for the Geckodons, I just uploaded a ship exspansion pack, there will be another one after I finish the Galactic Diplomats ship style and Colonial Fleet ship style, after I release the second Geckodon ship exspansion I will be working on the tech trees for each race except the Geckodons.

@ Seth: Considering the popularity of the MV in the GalCiv2 website, I think that even if the Stardock guys didn't want to have an MV for GalCiv3, they know that they would get an enormous amount of angry e-mails from the multitudes of fans that liked the 1st MV. So, long story short, I'm pretty sure they'll have it. I also think that any empires that make it on this MV long enough to see the creation of GalCiv3 will defin

Sorry for the triple post, but if anyone finds that they have been encouraged by this post to come back to the game, you can let me know here so that I have some understanding of the effectiveness of this post. If you want, you can Private Message me instead. Posting replies here will also help you returning players or new players get known by other MV empires, and they may do a little recruiting. And finally, if someone just wants to drop a comment about the post in general, feel free to do

@ Seth: If you're right about us being the last, there is going to be some fierce competition between the empires. I'm pretty sure (for what it's worth) that 'The Raiders' are still going to be around, too. Sorry Seth - I know that you don't like them very much. ~ Cypher ~

@ Silverbeacher: I think you're right. It's great that the true core group of people who enjoy Galactic Civilizations will still be around. Great point. I'm not sure if you consider me in that core group or not, but I can assure you that I'm not going to leave these forums and this great game. Best Regards. @ Everyone: I'm not too sure about what yo

@ Everyone reading this Post: I would just like to add that various players have told me that GalCiv3 will be out anywhere from 2010 to 2012. New Frontiers is expected to come out sometime between this year and the start of next year - so don't worry - the Galactic Civilization's series has many more years ahead of it.

@ KP: Thanks for the reply. It's much appreciated. I think that everything will be renewed anyway when GalCiv3 or New Frontiers comes out, but this game deserves it, too. As for Mumble beating me out as King of Long-Winded Posts - of course he beats me! That guy has more posts then the number of days I've been alive, and I've been alive for a reasonable amount of time. In the ToE thread, I said that I'm the king if you don't include Mumble or Kryo. Thanks again. Best Regards. @ Seth:

I agree with you KP. I still made my post because it might be what renews the passion for the game in a few players, and, for me, that's all that really matters. This is really an awesome game, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it, either. Thanks KP. Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~

@ dystopic (and everyone else who's reading this): Don't worry - maybe saying "drastic" action was a poor choice of words. I'm not going to say anything bad about SD. Personally, even though I don't approve of some of the things that they have done, I must say that we owe it to them for making Galactic Civilizations. I also don't think m

Heheh. Seth - if I could do that, believe me, I would. But I am not quite that smart (yet). Hacking the forums actually did come to mind, but there's that whole issue of hacking being illegal in most parts of the civilised world, and as I said before, I don't know how. BTW - Did Brad say when this GalCiv3 game would make its debut, or is it still in
