The download is one time only (except for updates), so does it really matter how long it takes for one time? Even if it's a few hours?

Reply to How many play multiplayer DA? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

There is [B][I][U]NO[/U][/I][/B] multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II, or Dark Avatar, or Twilight of the Arnor. You can only play against the computer. This topic has been addressed many times and is sticked all over the place (ala the thread, Galactic Civilizations II, the case for no multiplayer). So in short, there is no way to do what you are suggesting, the game just doesn't support it. There is however, an online ranking system called metaverse, that takes the scores from

Reply to Dread Lords in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It would be useless to have them as a playable faction. The game wouldn't go anywhere, they'd eradicate everyone in less than 100 turns. It would be like playing against god, there's no fun in that. You've got to remember, they're tech (ala their weapons and defense) are better than even the most advanced weapons available in the game, and they START with those techs. The game would always have the same outcome, Dread Lords win.

[quote]Thanks...glad I asked. Hope they do something about this in the TA game. [/quote] They won't, because that is the way it is intended to be. Those defenses take up space, in the form of a tile, that's how it's supposed to be ;).

Reply to Colonies Defense in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

And remember, a colony can only be invaded by a troopship or sporeship if it is undefended. If you have ships in orbit, your enemy must destroy them first in order to land troops or deploy spore weapons. And as said, if you have an orbital fleet manager on the planet, it will allow your ships in orbit to act as a fleet, instead of being attacked one at a time, which can come in handy if a fleet of enemy ships is attacking. There are several super projects that can help your ships in o

Reply to Playing GC DL DA in Windows in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

You can use ALT + TAB to switch between any programs windows is running at any time. However, if you are running the game in fullscreen mode (which is default) then you may be switching resolutions as you go, which can cause problems. The best answer is to play the game at the resolution you run your computer normally, which should ALWAYS be your monitor's native resolution. Even then, using ALT + TAB can cause the game to become unstable, and often takes several seconds to switch back to.<br

Reply to Twilight of the Arnor no longer works since I moved to an AMFD Phenom and ATI HD 3870 in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Uh, you did some major hardware changes there, i'm hoping you formatted your HDD and reinstalled windows right? If not there's no telling what driver problems you could be having. Replacing a motherboard, processor, and video card without reinstalling windows will usually cause it to go apeshit. So make sure you remove any drivers that belong to your old hardware, and install the latest drivers for your new hardware. Also, post your debug.err file so we can help you out more.

You can only have one merchant emporium per planet, that's why it doesn't upgrade. It's a one shot only improvement.

Reply to 3C - Political Party Bug in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

This isn't a bug either, and it is random. The game picks a random political party each time you click on it, unless you have customized the race (or played as that race) and picked a political party, then it will stick with that one until you change it.

This is not a bug, the line is blank because that is where the new victory condition that will be added in a later beta will appear. As it is not active, it is not available, but the space for it has been made.

Reply to Beta 3C: "New Game" CTD in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Try deleting your prefs.ini file and any .customracexml files you have (or move them to a backup folder if you want to save them) and try again. It sounds like that might solve your problem. If not, you've already submitted your bug reports, but it would most likely be monday before anyone was able to take a look into it.

Reply to Updates and Patches in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Well if you haven't updated it from the box then it is definately out of date. You need to install Stardock Central from the downloads section, create a stardock.net account, and register your DL and DA serial numbers with the account. Then when you start SDC it will show your purchased games under the 'games' section, and allow you to patch them. You will also see what version you have now, but you can always access that information as it is at the top of your debug.err file.

If you want an invisible planet just make a PNG texture and leave it transparent, then use it as the planet texture.
