The GC1.2 "severe drought" event has a typo in the "good" choice. It says "Friend of Foe" when it should be "Friend or Foe".

I reported a problem like this to Cari and sent her a saved game. If you click on the stalled minifreighters, what do they say? In my case they were all mixed up; a minifreghter stalled next to system A, for example, said it was travelling between systems B and C, which were all the way across the map. ~SDC~

I've been playing since the original beta, and I've never seen the Dreginol or the Dark Arnor. Are they totally random, or is their appearance dependent on good/evil alignment or some other factor? ~SDC~

Gratuitous compliment: [quote]But I also think that it's silly to be bored playing Gal Civ the same way every time just to get metaverse points. There's a very true saying "The only difference between a rut and a grave is that you can get out of the rut."[/quote] CariElf is wise beyond her years ... ;) ~SDC~

Reply to Surrender in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yeah, the AIs surrendering to someone else sometimes p*sses me off. In the last Gigantic game I played, I attacked the Arceans, who surrendered to the Altarians as soon as I had taken one system from them. Since I was very powerful at that point, I went ahead and attacked the Altarians. As soon as I had take all the old Arcean systems from the Altarians, they surrendered to the Torians. I attacked the Torians, and they eventually surrendered to the Yor (even though the Yor were chaotic evil

In my latest GC 1.2 game, I have 9 trade routes. On the Trade tab of the domestic policy screen, 5 of these are listed as "N/A" under the "Value" column, and as 0/nn under the "Turns" column. They've been this way for several turns. If I click on the minifreighters that seem to be misbehaving, I get descriptions of them that seem to indicate that the routes are mixed up. For example, the minifreighter that's parked right next to Sol, and hasn't moved for a few turns, says that it's enroute f

Maybe the severity of the event is affected by the difficulty level ... ~SDC~

Reply to Fundamentalists taking the in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I don't play that many games as evil, but in the two that I have where I got hit by the fundy event, it was my systems with low morale that flipped. I haven't tried evil since upgrading to GC 1.2, so I suppose it's possible it changed. ~SDC~

Reply to Report thread for Typos, Bad Grammar, Etc in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

In the first Altarian Prophecy campaign, the first screen that sets up the campaign contains the sentence: "Hyperdrive allows ships to travel great distances much more quickly then the old star gate network ..." "then" should be "than".

Reply to Fundamentalists taking the in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The fundy event in my last game completely wiped out the Yor. Didn't help me much, though, since the Torians were about to take over their last 4 systems anyway, and it took me a long time to spread my "goodness" around the galaxy by conquering all the other majors. ;) Seriously, I just view it as another incentive to get the morale boosting techs and improvements when you're playing evil. I agree that it shouldn't take out all the human player's systems. ~SDC~

Thanks for the answers! I'll take a look at the other mods now ... :) ~SDC~

Reply to Galciv Library in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Thanks, A Better Tomorrow. So most of the mods in the library would just add interesting variation to the game, and would not affect the score? ~SDC~

Reply to Galciv Library in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

You asked for questions about mods, so here goes. The only mod I've tried is CariElf's min colony ship. I've heard that some mods unbalance the game enough so that scores are not elegible for the metaverse. Is that correct? If so, are these mods allowed in the library? Is there some indication that these mods will disallow your scores? Thanks. ~SDC~

On the next turn there was another one. I destroyed it also, and then it occurred to me that the mini-freighter was from an Arcean trade route that originated at my new system, and had not been terminated by my invasion.

[quote]It might. That sounds slightly different than the last mini freighter crash that I squished. Mini freighters aren't supposed to take damage, they're supposed to just die.
