This AAR is far from over and the next update will be posted tommorrow WITHOUT FAIL!!!. i know at the start i said i would post frequently and regularly but i underestimated my midterms and the amount of things one has do to do to prepare for them.

Why can't I watch battle real-time in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Hey all, Ok so i've checked in my options and cross-referenced 9i dont know if thats the right term but i like using it lol) with what it says in the book and for some reason my battles are still not real-time. All that happens is the little ship on map shoots a laser and the nemy explodes. That's crap! My old game i was able to see the battles in real time and watch the ships fight it out. What exactly needs to be clicked one to make my battles real-time as the book do

Chapter Two: Rocket Science Sol System Somewhere in between Jupiter and Mars What is nothing? How can nothing truly be considered nothing when we simply think of it as the lack of something. Surely the lack of something must be something in itself?? Nolan shook his head to clear his mind and swore under his breath.

Ok well i can't seem to find out where the parameters all are so im gonna go with what i remember. Im playing on the next-to biggest map size with as many AIs as i could fit. I think it was 7 making 8 players with me included. Difficulty setting was the first setting which uses advanced algorithms. Normal i think it is. Stars were scattered and there were common planets with common habitable planets. Anomolies were also common. That's all i can rememebr

Freeman: i agree with you that perhaps Im nto being completely original. Furthermore i beleive im not dong a good enough job of trying to instill the mood and putting my readers in the mindset I want them to be when reading this.

Chapter One: A Rude Awakening *****INTERCOM****** "CRRRKRKR Captain Nolan report to the bridge immediately" Having been woken up just seconds ago by a sickening thud to the hull exterior, Nolan wasn't startled when the intercom chimed. Lazily he rolled out of his cot that made up a quarter of his "spacious" captain's quarters. He wondered how it must have been a miracle that he hadn't had a mutiny yet considering how old his b

In 2175 the human race was in ecstasy. For over a century now, since 2054 to be exact, most human beings were living under some form of population control. the right to have a child was handed out to only select families. Some couples waited up to ten years for various governements to process their requests only to be denied after an eternity of painful and anxious wait. Our planet was only so big and with only so many ressources. We as a species had to develop mature and concrete steps to ma
