Reply to Multimedia Update (1.0.004 -> 1.0.006). 366MB? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Kornalius, bite me. I have done that. I'm on my third pass now. SDC still thinks it needs everything. And is still having issues getting GalCiv installed. I'm running a very standard config, thank you. NOT EVERYTHING WILL WORK FOR EVERYBODY. BUT SDC HAS A VERY HIGH USER ISSUE PROBLEM. How many people are complaining about GalCiv not working? I cannot recommend GalCiv as long as SDC is this counter-intuitive. SDC is their preferred method of distrubition. People are goi

LordTheRon, I've managed to not have any major SDC issues, other then the find the deeply hidden Gal Civ Serial number box, and the Download Everything to get a baseline issue, until today. I'm on my third reinstall now. It had trashed out my GalCiv. SDC is not a good product. I wouldn't allow my company to deliver something that troublesome to our customers. I know that many of my friends and relatives who like strategy games could not handle it. It needs loads of work.

Frogboy... that sounds like part of the GAME STRATEGY to me. You go to change that planet, see you are running it in LocalLuxuryGoods mode. Whoopsie! Should I do it and lose the morale bonus or not? You guys are adding in 'See the details of where your bonuses/mods are coming from' right? So then, you would get an idea of what that hit of swapping off it would amount to. Right? I could see it being a real issue for the AI, but the players? Ultimately, the player would have to decide. St

Unless, of course, you bought the game retail first. In which case, you have to uninstall the game and then try it all again. And sometimes that does not work. SDC Sucks BIG TIME! I've just stopped recommending GalCiv because of it. When SDC gets reliable, I'll tell my friends its worth the bother.

I've gotten VERY tired of telling people where that box is. It's buried too darn deep. Tools -> Registered products -> Drengin.net tab -> Application box : Set to GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS and enter your SN and details there. Press Register when done. If successful, you may have to refresh/restart SDC to see the updates listed under the Software -> Dregnin.net tab.

Frogboy, I'd think a Capitilization and LocalLuxeries would be a simple way to utilize that 'lost' production. Capitilization would simply dump that production into user goods. Militarily, your shipyards are turning out local ships, such as yatch and what nots for local commerce. Socially, they'd be turning out GalCiv5000 DVDs and other simple consumer goods. Each X of whatever production turns into Money Units. Local Luxeries would just be dumping the production into Morale increasing

SDC sucks the biggest honking road apple you can find associated with Star Dock. It's very aggravating item. The curse you must put up with if you want the point releases. >:( You will not be able to see any GalCiv update listed until you've registered your serial number in the GALACTIC CIVILIZATION value box. Not the Drengin.net value box, in SDC.

re: #1 It would be a very useful feature to have. Save many of us time in the tedium of clicking through stars looking for that world we wanted to colonize next. And it would be especially useful on the larger galaxies. Not that GalCiv isn't a wonderful game. These are just suggestions on reducing certain chokepoints of tedious time so that we players may have even more time with the more fun/strategic/challenging aspects.

It really is just a waste of the player's time, hunting for that boundary. And since Brad says you are supposed to squeeze the AI for every credit, it seems this would be an UI enhancement that would improve the gaming fun. Those that want the computer to do the number crunching, could have their computer do so at the press of the button. Those that don't can do it by hand.

Option to turn off random events. I'm very, very, very mad at the moment. I've had 3 good games ruined today by random events. Last game ruined featured this line up for random events: Space Sharks, Pirates, Space Sharks, Pirates, Space Sharks, Pirates. I also got to watch enemy transports immediately run across the univers whenever one of my worlds got clipped by the sharks. Er... does the AI get to know the state of my worlds at all times to begin with, or does it merely have

More trouble with the Mercantiles being elected: Version 1.02.036 Playing Technologists. Sensor range decreases with each subsequent election of the Mercantiles. (not limited to just the first loss.) If you lose out to the Mercantiles, TWICE IN A ROW, while Technologists, your sensor range continues to be reduced by -1.
