[quote who="WNxHakan" reply="8" id="3452051"] Very excited about the 64-bit limitation. No longer will we be bottlenecked by 32-bit software- BRING ON THE ULTRA-MASSIVE GALAXIES![/quote] My bodily fluids! I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE THAT MANY!
[quote who="The_Gear" reply="39" id="3452043"] Your body may be ready, but is your PC?[/quote] Literally built my PC for this game. [quote]Have you done your finger exercises?[/quote] Well... yes, I mean... in a matter of speaking... sure, may be once or twice? [quote]Cleaned your mouse laser?[/quote] Just licked it to make sure. It's clean. [quote]Wiped your screen off?[/quote] It may as well be invisible.
[quote who="Nukar" reply="8" id="3452036"] script it...[/quote] Don't get smart with me!
I CAN ONLY PRESS REFRESH SO MANY TIMES A MINUTE
[quote who="Avatar137" reply="33" id="3452026"] Uh, sorry to dash your beliefs but I'm on the other side of the pond. [/quote] Well... Americans are sorta' British, right? Ignore for a second the dozens of other European coutries aside from Britain/UK
[quote who="Avatar137" reply="31" id="3452022"] Edit: Editied to say I feel for you guys across the pond. I've only been up for about 90 min. and am starting work in 15min. so my super restless anticipation for the release is only now re-engaging. [/quote] Damn you British Yoda man! Damn you!
[quote who="Revan67" reply="29" id="3452020"] Yea. I am at work right now, remoted into my home pc so i can start the download when it hits.. Need my coffee *yawn*[/quote] I've been awake for 50+ hours. Shake it off man! If you ever need a pick-me-up, just think about how sleepy one ParagonRenegade is, and chuckle a little bit and mutter 'dumbass' under your breath. It helps.
[quote who="Chibiabos" reply="26" id="3452015"] Checking inbox ... checking inbox ... checking inbox ... ... damn, I'm impatient. [/quote] I've been pressing 'refresh' on this page and my hotmail for the past seven hours. I'm not even kidding.
[quote who="starmac" reply="76" id="3451994"] Hi guys today is the bigOne for G.C.Fans,just 1 question how will the activation key be sent out? [/quote] They'll alert us on the forums, and then email the eligible founders on the address that you used to purchase the game from the stardock store.
[quote who="InquisitorFelix" reply="22" id="3451986"] Lets us pave the way for those of less elite status to follow. By our hands shall this experience be guided to become the greatest GalCiv title to date [/quote] Prepare yourselves for GLORIOUS whining threads!
[quote who="Iggore" reply="4" id="3451977"] I had a lot of fun customizing everything at the exception of the tech tree. Maybe it just me. My goal was to make it AI playable, but the AI was terrible when it was at the helm.[/quote] The GCII AI was pretty terrible in most respects when you really got down to the brass tax. It's very predictable, and easy to exploit. Failing to make the AI use your faction well is akin to failing to code the AI as well as Brad Wardell; you'
[quote who="Iggore" reply="2" id="3451969"] Did you have any original tech?[/quote] Yep. With the exception of Xeno Ethics and the Star Republic/Democracy/Federation techs, everything in my civilization, from the technologies, improvements, ship designs, race portrait and attributes was custom-made using the built-in modding tools. Took a few days, but the end result was glorious .
[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="19" id="3451966"] Since this is a alpha and not a real game yet, do we always have to be online with steam when we play. I ask because I haven't used steam before. (phrasing that sentence was a little fun )[/quote] Most games on Steam can run in 'offline mode' just fine.
[quote who="Iggore" reply="20" id="3451970"] OMG I CANT STAND THE WAI- oh wait I'm not a founder or anything. Carry on.[/quote] I don't know how you can bear it.
[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="16" id="3451960"] I am wondering how long do we have to be online, before we don't have to be online with steam?[/quote] DARCA, when you write something, say it out loud before you post it to see if it makes sense. Rephrase the question.
[quote who="dougo33" reply="13" id="3451949"] I am going to do something more personal. Our daughter passed in December so I will name my star after her as a tribute to her. I know this isn't the usual way people go about naming things, but my wife liked the idea. It is a small way to help us never to forget her.[/quote] We are all lesser with her absence. I know what losing your children feels like, and I sympathize.
[quote who="ozmono" reply="14" id="3451955"] it's only 4 pm here [/quote] You lucky son of a bitch
[quote who="ozmono" reply="12" id="3451952"] I understand the anticipation but you can either stay up refreshing your browser and watching these forums like a hawk or you can get some sleep, do something else and maybe miss the first hour or two of release. There will be plenty of time to test and we've waited this long, I wouldn't worry too much about it.[/quote] I've been waiting for six years. But the last few hours are the worst :C
The Ecumene; a technocratic, collectivist, good-aligned alliance of races flying under one banner, who abandon diplomacy and co-operation almost entirely in preference for forcing other civilizations to accept their philosophy through violence. They have massive advantages to research, loyalty, approval and militaristic elements, but a crippling malus to diplomacy alongside expensive (But very powerful) improvements and technologies. They have a poor early game, and a strong end-game, which b
THE DAY HAS COME. YEARS OF WAITING, OF HOPING, HAVE FINALLY PAID OFF. MY BODY IS READY FOR GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS III. STARDOCK. ALPHA. NAO! FOR NOW, THIS EPIC SONG WILL HAVE TO SUFFICE:
[quote who="Fate" reply="9" id="3451902"] eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [/quote] I don't know why, but I'm skeptical that would be accepted. lol
[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="5" id="3451853"] does anyone know if the torian and arcrean will make the final release? [/quote] No :c The Torians have been enslaved and the Arceans have been pushed to the brink of extinction.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="10" id="3451790"] By human moralistic values, the Drengin are evil. They delight in the concept of causing pain to all sub-Drengin. That is because they don't see anything but themselves as sentient. Everyone else is basically a bug to them. The feelings or thoughts of sub-Drengin are irrelevant. The issue of what defines sentience will be coming up in one of the expansions later on (years from now). But sentience is a b
[quote who="Tridus" reply="12" id="3451785"] Me too. I want my 20 hour coop games![/quote] We seriously need to do that together sometime! Maybe in the beta, when most things are sorted and stable? It sounds really fun
