Reply to Drengin: the bad (and the good?) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Do randome events happen to the AI's? Could the Dregin have been making "good" choices?

Do it like Birth of the Federation. The first "Andromeda" is A the next is B and so on. So when you get to the end odf the list, you just change the ID letter on the end and run through the list again.

They knew the score when they joined up (or were drafted). Tough cookies for them! LOL

Reply to Good, Evil or Neutral? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I usually end up where the random events take me. Sometimes good and sometimes evil. Only stayed neutral once.

Hmmm...Somehow I posted twice...sorry.

I wouldn't mind a tactical combat option. You could make it so that it could be turned off, just like MOO2.

Reply to Frogboy - Remove AI's knowledge of yellow stars? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It's one of the reasons Stellar Cartography is not very useful. By the time you get it, there are no stars left to colonize.

Reply to Stellar Cartography -- the useless tech? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Problem is range limits. On a huge map, Stellar Cartography will identify stars for you, but you can't reach them. The tech would be very useful if it were right at the beginning of the tech tree.

Reply to Ship Design Ideas in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

How about a "boarding torpedo?" It's just like an antimatter missile, but packed with marines instead of a warhead. When it hits an enemy ship there is a percentage chance (modified by ship size and the ownwer's tech) of capturing the ship.

Wow, Freya, you actually get a whole two hours of sleep? ;)

Thanks, Frogboy. Again, I'm amazed at how quickly you guys jump on these things. At the risk of sounding like a parrot, "Keep up the great work!" LOL

Reply to Dear Frogboy.... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

TNTTony hit the nail right on the head with that letter. I'll only add that I've paid $50 to $60 for games and have gotten only one update/patch ever and sometimes none at all. If there were bugs, I had to learn to live with them. I bought GalCiv for $40 and have updated it several times already. Bugs and other issues are fixed almost daily. I have never seen nor heard of a company that gives this level of support. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I doubt that I would have believed it if

Reply to 1.03: Notice on saved games in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

My experience with setting up stardock was the same as #46 (bonscott). I just read the FAQ instructions. If anything, it took me less than 5 minutes. I've had absolutely no trouble at all using it, and updates have always been right there on the list. Incremental updates mean I don't have to wait forever to download a patch and when I do download, it only takes a minute or so. Just my 1.89 cents (inflation!)

Reply to Bug Report Thread in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

In reading this thread I have noticed several people have been crashing to desktop when the UP convenes for the first time. I had this problem as well, but found that it was the labor unrest mod I had downloaded that was causing the problem. When I deleted this file, the problem was solved. I know this isn't a bug report post, but enough people seem to have this problem that I thought this might help.
