Reply to Why no multiplayer? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

With quality being number one I would guess that the cost of adding any content may be to much to keep the cost of the MP Pack down to 50%.

Reply to Why no multiplayer? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

At all boils down to we get GC II now and latter we buy the MP Pack when they make it so we can do PBEMs, LANs and TCP/IP. Untill then I use SMAC and SMAX for my PBEM playing.

Reply to Complaint: Race "homeworld name" is really "homestar name" in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I disagree. Homeworld I feel is correct. Home - Your place of origin World - the planet Hence the word Homeworld. The names of each planet around Sol could be changed IMO.

What works best for me is. 1. put economic sliders to 100 military and colonize like crazzy. 2. when I start to run into other races then cut military down as much as posible then research like crazy. going for items like translators and othe trade items. 3. now I reduce research and up social when my approval is at 50. 4. do the diplomatic thing and focus on trade/culture and maintaining the power of all so others use their military on others not you. <

AI Pack in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Democracy games is what puls me and with GCII not being MP then I tried to think of a way to give some of us what we want. The easiest way I can think of at the moment is to have a AI Pack available for purchase so the price of the base game is not affected. This pack would add AI personalities/play style and also give the option in the setup of a game so you can choose how many players up to X and which AIs you will use for each player.

Race Editor in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Since GC is not and probably wont become a Multiplayer game in terms of PBEM capabilities directly I was wondering if some sort of Race Editor could be created after the game is released. Here we could have more sayso in what each race says and does etc along with the order. Maybe a Human Race could be created and used multiple times in the editor so a PBEM could be created without password protection. The basic thought comes from ACEdit 2.

Pics are great. I dont remember seeing on on how much you can tweak the AI.

Reply to Wormholes, stargates, and AI in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Wormholes is not the way. What we need is TDMs (Time Distortion Modules) that cost lots to research and build and can only be used in certain ships. This device would fold the space/time plane so a man-made wormhole could be created. Due to the cost and limitations a network of stargates could be cheaper.

Reply to Advisors in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Civ 2 AI advisor would be nothing compareded to a GalCiv 2 AI advisor. There is at least 10 years difference in the quality. Advisors could help the new players lots so they can learn stratagies etc. and then out play hotstick02 dancho.

Reply to LDC Monitor problems in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Could it be the bit size. try only 16 and see. As far as where the resolution is. It seems be set to some sort of default and cant find out where it is so am guessing it is in the exe. I tested out my Dads new monitor and it was a 1600 X 1024 and it came through, just streched to the sides. ~SDC~

Reply to Galactic Civilization Map Editor and campaign Crash in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

A bug one game had that I betaed was tht the video had to be 1024 till they fixed it. The only thing I could think of now is to play with any video/monito setting.

Reply to Galactic Civilization Map Editor and campaign Crash in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It sound like the Video Card is causing the CTD. You said you have dx9 but is the video card driver updated or is the card even supported. ~SDC~

I would suggest not hard coding so any mod can be used by all. For the other side I would put in a notifier to all player in that game telling them in a private msg that the "fjjljljfl file has been changed by fjljfl;jflj". ~SDC~

We seem to all like differnt combinations. One thing that I have found is using the stratagies from GalCiv helps in other games. ~SDC~

Reply to Favourite Strategy Games in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

On Hegemonia. I like the linking solor systems by jump gates and the general theme of it. Now to see if there is some way in multiplayer to give everone a different solor system and link the solor systems/players by jump gates. The one thing I dont like is the mouse controls for the camera could be more homeworld oriented in terms of the pan up and down seem backwards and cant do the left right camera angle thing all the time. ~SDC~
