http://www2.comcol.nl/bestel/sivw_e.hts#6534e It seems they listened to my email about this great game and my advice to import it. Release date is May 31, 2003 (or later).
It seems there is some movement in getting the game in shops in Europe. Several weeks ago I contacted an outlet in Amsterdam, Netheralnds, about the game, said how great it was and adviced them to see if they could import it. Now on their site it is stated the game is available May 31, 2003 or later. For those who understand Dutch this link where you can pre-order the game as well: http://www2.comcol.nl/bestel/sivw_e.hts#6534e
There seems to be some movement in the availability of Galciv in shops in Europe. I mailed one outlet in The Netherlands about the game and mentioned if they could import it. Now they announce it will be available May 31, 2003 or later. For those of you that understand Dutch: http://www2.comcol.nl/bestel/sivw_e.hts#6534e
We are very, very strong second now, and advancing steadily to the #1 position. I'm working on several hugh galaxies, probably at the end of this month I can finish a couple. Welcome to all newcomers! :CONGRAT:
LordTheRon, You beat me this time announcing yet another upgrade. Now go and finish that super score you promised The European Alliance ;)
Post it in the Bug Report Thread
"If you need support material for fansites related to the Alliance tell me, as I have some cool suggestions of websites from which such material can be obtained. We are becoming, after all, a massive emmpire... " Can you email that to me? [email protected] Welcome, Mojo, and other newcomers. :CONGRAT:
G-Force, I'm with you. I think alot of fansites will arrise and this would be a pretty good support for the game as well.
"Was meaning to ask if the Freya in your name is in tribute to the queen of the same name?" It refers to the goddess of Love ;)
"I think it gives you more chance for anomalies to give you the bonus 25% to current research tech." Which means you get the new tech "quicker". ;)
"Since you get the Zoo and Prison from a UP issue, do they go away after so many years, like all the other issues?". When they are destroyed. Try to lure them to your enemies with one of your fastest ships.
When the ship is still in orbit, click on it and the slider should appear, Then set the amount of people you want to load, and then Launch.
Creative means more new techs become available "quicker".
"If you like variation, you should try all size". And everything else that you can set. That's the fun part of the game, trying YOUR strategy out in different settings.
"Hmm, thought they used real star names". Most of them are, but these kinds of things prove they have a great time and fun themselves with the game ;)
I just started a new game in a large galaxy. Got a couple of planets colonized and am in the process to expand further. I think you all know when exploring the galaxy you run into planet names that are "somewhat" related to the names of the devs ( I invaded "Wardell" already in several games ;) ). Funny thing is I just discovered a new planet in my new game, and guess what? It's name is FREYA, yes that's ME :) Funny guys, the devs :CONGRAT:
MOO3 is slapped enough. If you want to buy it for whatever price is your decision, nobody can actually tell you if the game is worth whatever price. I bought it just after the release, just like many others of us. It's laying around and perhaps I pick it up when the patch is released. I agree the game didn't meet the expectations, but leave it to the devs if they can and will improve it or not. The fact Galciv is so good makes up alot to my disappointment in buying several other games, lately. P
" My game is fully updated (as well as my saved games) to ver. 1.03A.57 ". Then normally everything should work fine. I advice you once more to post the log in the Bug Report Thread, this will draw more attention by the devs.
EBZeroMatrix, post it in the Bug Thread. And mention what version of the game you use and was the saved game in the same version? For instance if you play 1.03.xx version and the saved game is in 1.02.xx it might crash.
"LordTheRon", since you are on a long weekend, probably recovering from your birthday party, you might be able to finish the game. Keep us informed about your experiences with Gigantic at intelligent level. I'm currently playing intelligent level in a small galaxy.
"The most important aspect of the Metaverse for me too is to improve the AI, not to get the highest possible score.". Yep, that IS what is was made for anyway.
"Submitting hasn't worked for me since the last game on there thx". Have you reported this in the Bug Thread? If not, do so, the devs WILL respond! ;)
"Good point, Freya. I usually leave the AI races on their default setting". Yep, specially to get to learn. But then again, try to play it different. For instance, all races Pure Good. Amazing what happens. And then set (some of) them to pure evil. WOW, they kicked my a.. like hell ;) And then set the AI to higher level, and so on. The 5 X, indeed, Xperience :D
