Reply to MAJOR bug in "Starbase in someone else's sector" UP law in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

2 important responses: 1) I see the "81" frequently, on that and other UP law descriptions, only when I look closely it's actually 8| (Shift-\ on my keyboard). It appears to be a stray character in the text for UP law displays, it doesn't affect the number used. 2) I saw the HUGE starbase tax on one of my early games, only when I did a little addition (in a kind of perverse galactic accountant moment) I discovered that my expense

Reply to 2 technological capitals in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, both will work. The 'capitol' is only another building, though it can be built only once it can be captured many times over. To really make the capitol unique, it should be dismantled if the planet revolts or is conquered, forcing the new owner to rebuild something (and presumably not his only capitol).

Reply to The numbers are making my brain hurt! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

It's not a question of needing numbers, or wanting to maximize everything, how about if the results just MAKE SENSE?

New error showed up: every time the Windows screen saver activates, GalCiv II (in Window mode) crashes to desktop. This is extremely annoying if you leave the computer for just a short time, and lose X turns since the last autosave...

BUG: Starbase resources disappear after race is conquered in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I attacked and conquered the only planet of a minor race which had two mining starbases (i.e., bases held two interstellar resource points). After the race was destroyed, its bases disappeared...but so, in some ways, did the resources it was using. They still appear on the map--but a mouseover on the icon shows no popup with info/description, and a constructor ship can't mine the sector. Construction is limited to the same 3 options you have in any other sector (military, economic, influence)
