Reply to User Interface tweaks & Civilization 4 in GalCiv Journals Stardock Forums

I am not a huge turn-base computer game guy (I do love board games though, go figure!) I like the visceral action and sound of RTS; I like to see my battles played out, I like to see the big ogre over there pick up the puny little human guy there and toss him. I like to see rockets fly, laser shoot and explosions! However, what I also love are Space-opera / exploration / 4x games. I tried MOO3 and... no thank you. Bad interface coupled with bad decisions.

I think Bill Elliot is right; It was definitely the Star Fleet games you were thinking of. I still play Star Fleet I from time to time. Which is a lot like Star Trek: Star Fleet bundled with FreeBSD - but the Star Fleet series had a much better UI (even for those old days!!). Anyone out there ever play the Star Saga games?

Unfortunately, the more people than know this site; the less likely it is going to work... and this is the third time I've seen it referenced. But, I deplore the fact that MS shipped so many units to japan (and they're not being sold) when there were so many preorders here they could have filled - so

Reply to BETA 5: Notes and Bugs in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Hello all! Although I've been part of the Beta for a while, I just started having the time to muck about a bit, and please forgive me if this post recovers some ground: 1. CTD problem. I load a saved game. Click on an enemy planet, click on the "report", then click on the "Stats" tab. The game immediately CTD. Also, when you first enter the report screen, no data/info is displayed. The interesting part here is that if you click on the enemy planet, click on r

Reply to The beta 2 won't accept my serial number in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I am having the exact same problem. I have tried entering in every serial for every account I have with them to no luck (including the serial I got for my initial GCII dl).

Reply to Beta2 - When? Will I have access? And other stuff. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Welcome to the Internet... where people can and will complain about every perceived slight in the universe. Regardless of how small or large, regardless of whether the slight was intended or not, or even if there is an actual slight or a misunderstanding on the client's part, the internet was practically MADE for people to gripe. And they can do so from the comfort of their largely anonymouse keyboards. One would THINK that by agreeing to join in the beta, t
