Reply to ATT: Make sure you are using this Stardock Central (enclosed) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Remember, some of us (any many more to come) need step by step ignoramous instruction. heheh Also, I'd like to note that, sadly, the multimedia download started over for me. But thanks for working so hard, you guys have been great for months. I look forward to GalCiv for a few years (a dynasty mayhap?) and, hey, The Political Machine as well.

So what is the process? Do we uninstall everything and start over, or is there a SDC update that will automate the process for us if we exit and restart? Not sure yet, or?

Reply to For Beta testers: SDCentral Issue Update in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Just to follow up. The guys in the mirc chatroom mentioned above helped me narrow down the problem with what had happened to me and a few others. In my case, it was some lines in the config.sys that hadn't been replaced correctly by the bootdisk. The perils of downloading as a beta user as soon as possible. :) I've used the new SDC version now, rebooted twice, zero problems. They've fixed the deletion problem, by all accounts. :)

I am win98 (old oem version) and finished downloading GalCiv. Thought everything was fine, but I hadn't rebooted yet. For some reason the game crashed after the intro movie (it had worked in the previous beta build I had - the one before gamma) so I figured I'd reboot, assuming that since I had the 99b version of Stardock I would be safe and sound. Not so. 1) Non system disk error. Dead in the water. 2) I'd made a boot floppy from www.bootdisk.com, as advised so booted up w

An interesting game that doesn't seem to get mentioned often, but it definitely similar to all three, or perhaps a bit of an intermediary between the GalCiv/Moo3 and SFC takes on space strategy is Starships Unlimited: Divided Galaxies. Just though I'd pipe up, since I've had almost as much with it as I have with the GalCiv beta. :) Matrix Games is the distributor if you're curious. And it was primarily created by a single independent developer! Shocking! ;)

Cool link Steevodeevo! Good old Fermi's Paradox. An interesting book about the issue is Rare Earth, though I read it a couple of years ago, so hey, things seem to be changing in astrophysics at, uh, light speed. Who knows, all those SETI cpus chugging away could always turn something up.... ;)

Weird morale adjustment associated with Venge event in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I've only been playing for a couple of weeks, and this is about my fifth game (medium sized galaxy this time). Haven't posted before and have learned a lot about the various errors and variable interactions by following the forum now and then. :) Anyway. 1) Early-midgame the Venge 'event' took place. Apparently they terrorized by largest planet, umm, Earth. So morale is stuck at 1 now, 2 turns later. 2) I'd noticed about twenty turns previously that most of my planets were
