>I like Night's Dawn. If I could figure out a way to do what happened as an event in GalCiv, I would. I haven't seen the event yet but when I heard about the "a great evil (Draginol??)" event I immediately thought of The Reality Dysfunction.

Reply to FAQ: Downloading vs. Retail in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

JukeI3ug, I'd guess 2 factors. 1 if Stardock make it too cheap to buy their games direct from them then they stand less chance of getting reasonable penetration into the big stores (see some posts Brads made about re-stocking policy in stores etc) for this and future games. Remember they seem like nice guys but they still need to eat. 2 - they had to spend quite a bit on servers and bandwidth to make downloads of that size workable for a sufficient number of people (see early threads on release

Re: Robin Hobb, books under the Lindholm name are available in the UK with 'aka Robin Hobb' stickers or may even be printed on the cover, I guess the publishers cashing in. There's a second set of books following on from the Farseers with Fitz and the Fool, 2 out so far and both very good. Hobb has some of the best realised characters in the genre. My fave authors at the moment though are Michael Marshall Smith and Peter F Hamilton.

Mine arrived from Stardock yesterday (UK). We have a 4 day bank holiday this weekend. What can I do to pass those long hours, I wonder? :)

Ey oop, Nirvana. When I emailed Stardock they explained their shortage of CDs and said since I'm in the UK (S Yorks) I should get mine the end of this week.

Reply to When's my copy of GalCiv gonna get here?! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Seth I emailed Stardock sales a few days ago and they told me that they ran out of CDs. Since I'm in Europe also I can expect mine the end of next week. Some masochistic impulse keeps me hanging around here.

Reply to FAQ: Download Problems! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I can sympathise watching the miserable percentage downloaded figures on my PC. I've now given up though I do appreciate the efforts by Stardock. However the fact is that the infrastructure in the UK at least ain't up to it. I registered interest in broadband but my local exchange won't be upgraded for a while and even one-way satellite is more than I can justify. It worked well for Object Desktop due to the smaller modules, I could spend a reasonable time downloading and get something I could

Reply to I'm really beginning to regret choosing the download option... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

hi Brad re popularity: I was a beta tester for the original GC and kept OS/2 as a second OS on a couple of generations of PCs at home so I could play it. I play various strategy games and discuss them with colleagues and bore them rigid by saying "Of course it's *pretty* but the gameplay isn't a patch on galciv, which is being ported to windows.". I'd be surpised if I was the only one. Download speeds last night varied from 36KB/s to 19bytes per second! 10% down, 90% to go. Any cha

hi when you ship to Europe I guess since we're paying for the download the customs value of the CD will be zero? Yeah, I know, common sense and the law don't always meet up cheers Rob Morton Thank &deity - I was starting to consider re-installing OS/2 so I had a decent game to play
