Well, since I'm busy playing the new beta, I hadn't give this much thought. But why not? There are indeed many empire threads. On the other hand most of the active posters are in empires (at least that's my observation lately). Isn't there a risk that by putting them in a separated forum will make the galciv forum less active (where new players come with questions)? I mean the "old players" may come and check the empires forum for new posts, but not the other forum. As it is now, whenev

By the way, I just noticed that all my victory conditions, except military, are off. I remember only turning off cultural victory. Am I mistaken or can anyone else confirm this? ~SDC~

Yes I have the saves. More details: Before the event: fev 2185; treasury: -5174; net income 50, taxes 100% after the event: Jul 2185 Treasury 100045 Net income 38 taxes 40% I guess there was a revolution and they confiscated all the good of government officials and gave it to the people (through state treasury, which allowed a 60% drop in taxes). The bolcheviks have mabe it to AP :D ! Is that supposed to be that way? I

Wooo. Something strange just happened. 2 things actually: Since after buying the diplo translators I was in huge debt (-6000) which led to lose control over the senate, I set taxes to 100% in order to reach -500 faster. Of course morale dropped like a rock. Then I had a civil war, with some colonies breaking out to create a Terran Confederacy. Strange things: - none of my planets broke away to form that confederacy (or they both did, and now I'm in charge of it. Is it poss

[quote]first turn of the game the Alexians have built a diplomatic translator. [/quote] on my game it was fast too. It was my main objective, and it was built by somebody else 12-15 months before I completed it. But i guess it's possible. Out of despair, I went back (in fact just trying to check if the reload would function ;) ) and used my "fast track" privileges to rush buy it. Now it's the other aliens who are complaining about how did terrans get it so fast ;p ~SDC~

Salimma, As I understood it, beta1 was released early january. In that version, you could play, but not load a savegame. Yesterday, the new beta was released, and there you can reload: I just did :) . Somewhere in february, I think, there will be another version. Keep on with the download: you won't be disappointed by your test drive ;) ! ~SDC~ [Message Edited]

[quote]The names of the two new empires dont appear under their pictures (nice artwork again BTW) on the race selection screen.[/quote] Well, I can see them. But barely: it's written in black, and with the very dark background it's hard to see (or impossible depending on how the screen is set up --- contrast, etc). The race set up screen does look very nice! ~SDC~

[quote]#341 by Citizen dgperry - 1/22/2004 9:34:31 PM I just noticed in the past several games, since I started playing "tough" level on small maps that the assignment for the AI level is different on the submission window than what I had assigned them. For example, I assigned all as "bright" with one as "Intelligent." In the submit window after the game, they are labelded "Normal" with one as "Intelligent." Not sure what difference it makes since the score is correct on Metaverse and the level

Theoden, Yes it is a great game! I can talk about it for hours. They have a very friendly forum too, with a players average age of 35-40 (when I used to visit the forum). It actually went from 15 years old to something like 65! The game itself is very beautiful. You can check for some screenshots at www.totalwar.org (it is better than the official site, in my opinion). You can get some huge battles, with 1000 guys on each side, at the same time on the battlefield (and reinforcements awa

As for TBS games, the last I tried -- prior to galciv -- was Alpha Centaury. I miss the diplomacy in there. After AC, I only played Shogun, and then Medieval for almost 2 years: until galciv was out.

These are divided into regions (more or less real ones). On this map, you can see your fortresses or simple forts. And your troops, stacked. This part is TBS. your armies can move from one region to another per turn. But if you attack an ennemy region, then you leave the str

When I play, I usually stretch it till midnight, or 1 am. Which probably explains my wife's attitude I guess. On the otherhand, when we used to play Medieval or Shogun Totalwar, she used to stay up that late too. So she should understand... Do you know those games by the way?
