Reply to Death to Stardock. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I regrettably have been having relentless problems with Stardock Central. I simply cannot get the 1.01A update (supposedly 1MB) without being forced to download an 80+ MB file. I have read all the FAQs, how-to guides, etc. I have reloaded my game, reloaded SDC, updated SDC, etc , etc , etc and still cannot get a small package update from SDC.

Reply to Anyone disappointed with the game yet? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Great game but the documentation is lacking. I think Stardock needs to put together a more comprehensive player's manual that addresses many of the the gameplay questions that are littering this forum. :notsure:

Reply to Gold Reviews? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Frogboy - Given what I've seen, I have no doubt that GalCiv will end up standing on top of its genre.

I also feel that hardcore 4X gamers who have a sense for who and what Stardock represents will support this game in anticipati

Reply to Gold Reviews? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

To date, I've only seen 2 obscure reviews: lidium (beta) and screaming monkey (gold). Both of these are linked from the galciv homepage (I'm sure you've already seen them). I have very high expectations for galciv but after getting torched on MOO3, I'm waiting cautiously. ;)
