Question Regarding the nature of Trade Goods in Trade GalCiv2 Forums

My question is simple. Lets say that the Dregin build Diplomatic Translators on their world. They then trade it to me for some money, tech ect. The the Yor conquer the world the Dregin built it on. Who has it me or the Yor I know that in the last patch they changed it so you get the benefit of trade goods and Achievements when you capture a world that it was built on. But for trade goods if it has already been traded away then the world is c

Reply to AI Bug? Influence base spam? Minor civ confused? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah I've seen alot of the different minor AI's do this. They will build these influence starbases not just in my territory but in other major races also. Its the oddest thing. It must be some bug or a programming line gone wrong. Either they should get their own influence spheres or they should just disable minor AI's ability to construct starbases.

Reply to Bug with new ATI drivers in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I have a 9800 Pro AGP. I updated because I was getting some CTD's and the sticky's said to make sure to update to the latest possible video card drivers. On the plus side I havent had any more CTD since the drivers update.

Bug with new ATI drivers in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I installed the newest ATI Radeon drivers, the 6.3, today. Everything was fine until I used the basic invasions tactic. Suddenly the screen went black with flashes of color appearing. However when I pressed alt-tab it took me to the invasions screen but frozen. The mouse and the jumbling ivasions odds were both frozen. When I alt-tabbed back to the black screen the mouse would move. If you managed to hit the button to start the invasion on the black screen it would work and when the invasions wa

Reply to gifted ships where never used in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I had the same experience, with the Dark Yor. They were losing to the Dregin so I gave them about a dozen large ships which I had parked near their world. They never even moved them once. The Dregin just ignored them and continued to attack their planet, even though the ships were within a few squares of the Dark Yor planet. In the end the Dark Yor were conquered without ever moving the ships I gave them.

Need Help - I am having a problem with trading ships in the diplomacy screen in Diplomacy GalCiv2 Forums

I'm trying to give ships to allies but it seems that my fleet is too big. All the space in the diplomacy screen where the ships are listed are my starbases and constructers and scouts. The few warships that show up arent the ones I want to give away. This is making it impossible to assist my allies. Is there any trick or method for making the rights ships appear? Thanks

Problem with giving ships away in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm having a problem arming allies. When you start having decent sized fleets plus lots of starbases, not all your ships appear in the little part of the diplomacy screen that has ships. The result is that I cant get the ships I want to give away to appear on the diplomacy screen. Is there any way around this, or to give my allies ships without using the diplomacy screen?

Reply to Ship designs not deleting in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Yeah. There needs to be a function to just associate designs for a single save game. I've also had it happen that when I made a new ship with the same name as one from a previous game. Like Laser Frigate Mark 1, which I have used in a couple of games, it can bleed over. One time when I loaded my saved game it had replaced all my verions of that games Laser Frigate Mark X with an older games ship with the same name, which happened to be much more advanced. It had tech I was hundreds of turns away

Question Regardling Starbases in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

My problem is very simple. I cant figure out how your logistics ability effects Starbases. The way it looks is that you cant make more starbases that you have logistics ability, which is clear obvious and makes sense. BUT it isnt true. In my most recent game I reached a point where I had 20 logistics ability and 20 starbases. So then I tried to make an additional starbase an it worked. So then I made more starbases till I had about 30 of them with the logistics score of 20. And there

Reply to STICKY: EASY TWEAKS to make the game better for you in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet but one thing I would love to have changed is the function of the "W" keyboard button. As an avid Civ4 (and Civ3, Civ2, ect) player I am used to having that button make the unit wait and move you to the next unit. Its almost habit for me to press it but here it sets your ships off on aut-explore. Its incredibly annoying to have a major battle about to begin and the first unit to come up isnt the one I want to attack with first, so I press "w" to get the next

Strange Problem with creating ship designs in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I am encountering a wierd issue with ship designs. What is happening is ship designs I saved in previous games are bleeding through into current games when I create a ship with the same name as an old ship design. For example in my current game I made a ship called Laser Cruiser 1 which was the same name I tend to use (in acending order) for all the laser using ships I design. However since its the same name as an ship design from a previous game when it builds, it builds a different version of

Bug Occuring when I try to form ships into a fleet in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I'm having a problem when I try to make fleets with certain ships. I made ships where the ship name took up the full amount of space in the name. Later when I try to combine them into a fleet. ( 3 medium sized ships, I have logistics of 16, so it should work) instead of making a fleet it leaves the ships seperate and creates a fleet which is is just an empty sqaure except it shows up with a name (Terran Fleet 7 for example) but has no ships in it. Each time I try to make a fleet with these ships
