Reply to New Review: Adrenaline Vault gives GalCiv only 3.5/5 ! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"However, do I think that if StarDock had paid for a lot of advertising that a different, more "experienced" reviewer would have been assigned? Yes." Ok, you can certainly think that, and most gamers familiar with the way MOST review sites work would agree. But I REALLY think you're wrong and that you're somewhat underestimating the integrity of Avault. Again, I'm not in any way defending THAT review.

Yin inspired me to write this with his "Starbase suggestions" thread. His ideas are all valid, so someone needs to do the above before the ability to "Starbase Spam" gets removed from the game. :)

A CHALLENGE, for anyone who wants to accept it in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Build me starbases. I want to see a screenshot of a sector where every square not occupied by a star has a starbase in it. The first one to post such a screenshot wins $1,000,000 bc from me as soon as GalCiv goes multiplayer. :) An extra $500,000 if your starbases are upgraded to the BIG starbases. (I thought of trying for this myself, but damn I'm too lazy. And I have kids.)

Reply to Screen Fuzziness in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yes, I think things overall will look better if you set your monitor to use the native resolution. Will this help GalCiv? I doubt it. Unless Brad and his team decide to implement resolution changing in the game, you're going to be better off using the windowed version. But definitely make sure you're running your monitor at the native res. What kind of monitor is it?

"If you like dune a new dune miniseries will be come out on the space channal but not sure if people can get it out of Canada" If you're talking about the "Children of Dune" miniseries, it was out in the U.S. several weeks ago on the Sci-Fi channel.

Reply to Screen Fuzziness in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

To clarify a little: When you run the windowed version, your monitor is staying at its native resolution (probably 1280x1024 if it's around a 17" monitor?) and displaying galciv at 1024x768 in a window, and that's why it looks right. When you run the full screen version of GalCiv, it's forcing your monitor to a non-native resolution, and that's why it might not look as good. Hopefully they'll find a way to implement resolution options in the game, but I don't think it's an

Plus keep in mind that LCD screens are designed to work best at ONE SPECIFIC resolution, and I doubt that 1024x768 (GalCiv's locked res) is your monitor's native resolution.

Thanks! That's good to know. I still don't understand why the slider model is different in trade from everywhere else...

Maybe I should rephrase...money doesn't influence a review other than the fact that apparently some reviewers aren't paid. ~SDC~

Trade sliders are ok, but... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Is there any reason the trade sliders can't be as big as the other sliders (tax, spending, etc.)? Also, all sliders should allow you to hold the mouse down on the arrow to make the slider move, instead of having to rapid-click. ~SDC~

I don't see how there'd be any added benefit of this over just having two starbases in the same sector, but what the hey. ~SDC~

It's a glitch? I thought there was an update to the mm, but no new content. That is, the mm was updated to fix some daylight savings time issue, but wasn't necessary. ~SDC~

If you double click your "scout" (actually it's called "survey ship") you have an option there for Auto Survey which will send him off on his merry way to find the space junk, etc. When he finds a ship far away from your home system and you can't seem to move it, just select it and right-click on your home system and he'll fly there. Colony ship: If you click the stars you'll see a list of planets in that system on the right of the screen. You'll want to try to colonize the planets w

Sorry Huz, but Avault doesn't work that way. Some bad decisions were made in this case, but to suggest that Avault gave a bad review due to monetary reasons is just wrong. Unless you count the fact that the reviewer wasn't paid, but he's not paid for any review. ~SDC~

Reply to Search in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I think it's been addressed. I believe the response was basically, "We'd have to divert resources from GalCiv support over to StarDock support." No one wants that. :) ~SDC~
