It was the Databanks and the timeline that brought up the question. You answered one part of the equation that no one seemed to explain. Humans evolved on earth and time traveled. Also came from another dimension. These dimensions that everyone come from are like sliders. Through a process of war some ended up on Altar or Altaria. This was more of an accident that the Altarians picked up the Dread lords Dna, but of a matter of fact this caused everyone to be humanoid because of inter dimensio

Hey can Stardock please comment on how, or if Elemental actually fits in this game. I wouldn't mind if it actually becomes part of the storyline. I did think it was kind of ironic how much people have a problem with them trying to improve the game if it meant changing the story a little. Don't other games do this. Basically a game develops as you go.
I read enough of the story to figure out from what they wrote that the humans and the Altarians are the same species. Other than that they have nonthing in common except they don't like the Drengin. I know the A;tarians were created by the Dread lords on a planet that have no primates. I was wondering does anyone have any details how this could happen. My guess is that the Dread lords captured some homo Heildabergs, and brought the to Altaria to be slaves. If there is an
Haven't played elementals can you elaborate on this. Please be as complete and specific as you can on the event that gave Altarians blue skin.
[quote who="Wetballs" reply="15" id="3425252"] Well I thought it was great, but then again I do feel obligated to support you being as how we have the same registration date, which makes us reg. brothers. (That's sort of like blood brothers, except that if you see me in a knife fight, you're not required to jump in. You just have to lend verbal support from the side lines. "Feint! Riposte! Go for the armpit!" Junk like that.)[/quote] Gr
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="24" id="3424136"] Quoting glupor, reply 14 Quoting Frogboy, reply 13 This isn't like Elemental where there's magic and champions and such. [/quote] Does that mean there will be no heroes like Wintersong suggested.
Good as long as I can't beat the Ai I will want to keep playing.
[quote who="NitroX infinity" reply="12" id="3425019"] What is this about? You changing your nickname? Why can't you just say "I changed my nickname"? Why do you feel the need to make up a story? Why do you need to open a separate topic? Just wondering.[/quote] I've been meaning to change my profile name to Willy Wilber for some time. When I originally got Dark Avatar I called myself Willy Wilber. When I reregistered with the Ulti
That's good that means it works.
I think it's been mentioned that the Thalans destroyed the second terror star, and the plans to build it. I think that was under the civilization description. I don't think they are planning to bring them in the next game, but it never hurts to come up with a equivalent, but different idea for this. The worst that could happen is that they don't do it right.
Galactic civilizations 3 Alpha is coming out it will have a multiplayer. Most interested in that; unless distant worlds have multiplayer. i would have to go buy it agaim, but I could play sins of a solar empire. Haven't played Starcraft 2, but I could go buy that and learn. No any good turn based tech researching space steadegy games. That's what I'm really interested in.
Did you load it on the first two spots not just one, and where there any error messages. It may be the fact that I bought my computer last year and that may be faster than yours.
Ok well then I better len you in then I'm Michael Whittaker, and I made up the story. Hope your not mad.
I only social network on Facebook and Galactic civilizations. This thread is for anyone who later wants to know what happened to me; because, I changed my name on the forums not in real. I realise no one cares though. I ran out of cool ways to say this. Now what are you talking about when you say somewhere else.
Go ahead and post if I'm right or wrong. I've noticed that there are a lot of people who don't have pictures for their avatars. One of the problems is the pixel requirements for the pictures their are two of them. I've noticed that any image I tried is to big for the requirement. so I loaded the image in paint since I don't care enough to have a fancy imaging program. resized the picture to the font. You will need to do this twice since their are two size r
[quote quoting="post"] Don't get me wrong, I love micromanaging. What I find tedious is when I have to do this with sea of worlds I've conquered. In the beginning of a GC2 game I would be very attached to the well being of my first few worlds. But after that number began to grow and grow and grow, each new world just became more or less an extra number. And then going through all worlds to establish build orders and queues just became a chore.<b
I like the idea of advisors. There could be something that explains that when you hit the economic wall it's not a bad thing in the turorial. That would have helped me in the beginning. It was kind of hard to manage an empire without an understanding that you are garanteed to go broke, A heads up warning on that is kind of nice. I forgot that did cause me a lot of problems until someone told me that was supposed to happen. Its all right. Maybe a tutorial on what to researc
Bad news Michael Whittaker died, I then rose from the grave to become this Willy Wilber avatar.0 Which eventually took over the United States navy, and became an admiral. After becoming an admiral in a war with china he took over the secret government of the United States. To avoid confusion I changed my name on the post. I thought I should tell you who this new guy is like you would even care right. If you don't care that I changed my game name please post. If you think this post is stup
If your wondering what happened to Michael Whittaker he died and was replaced with a clone named Willy Wilber, and he now is a admiral of the galactic armada. Are you asking for an easy setting on the game with an easy interface. I never had a problem using the interface even in the beginning. Granted I didn't know everything off the bat. I learned everything I needed to know, and gradually learned some of the unneeded elements of the interface. I always thought the interface was
Great I look forward to hearing this.
[quote who="Larsenex" reply="18" id="3420238"] The problem with your request is really about symmetry. After all the research about what an alien would like look, from the ground up (USING) carbon the species needs graspers, movers and food input along with eyes. From an energy standpoint the typical humanoid is usually the best at efficiency. There was a good discussion on this from National Geographic on alien builds and symmetry which tied into the
I was playing a little of Distant worlds, and one thing I didn't like was that I couldn't decide on what techs to research. One of the biggest reasons I play 4x games is tech research. I thought the private sector was a nice theory until I seen it. If Galactic civilizations does have the private sector then I hope it doesn't have private research, or the private and the public sectors share research. Another question is does a living breathing galaxy means automation. Caus

"Mines Bigger Than Yours" [quote who="charon2112" reply="77" id="3424586"] It would be cool if you could just customize the galaxy size. Just choose the parsec width. Then if your PC can handle it, it can handle it.[/quote] I like both ideas. Mines bigger than yours is a funny good name hope it's on the game.
Well then I agree I want the bonuses I'm supposed to get when I build the improvements.
[quote who="qrtxian" reply="39" id="3424423"] The point I was trying to make was primarily in response to this Quoting michaelwhittaker, reply 33I don't have a problem with surrenders cause I just shut them off anyways. which I took to be response to people asking for improvements to surrenders. While I personally have never been bothered by AI surrender behavior, if there is a problem with it then Stardock should address that for GCIII, not ju
