I came across a bug. There is a screenshot here http://www.jeffpinard.com/espionage_spending.jpg the espionage spending should have been the exact same as the destabilization spending amount. In this same game, the music, then sound effects cut out after awhile. Never had that happen before. After quitting and reloading the sound came back. I have a savegame if you'd like it. Version 4.0000 - * OS: Win XP Home SP1 * Directx 9 * Processor: Athlon XP 2700+

I just wanted to say you guys ae awesome! I love this game, am looking forward to free expansion pack (though I'd pay for it if you wanted), and hope you guys continue devloping this game with further expansions.

Reply to Lets debate adding Multiplayer to GalCiv in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I think developers have ruined single play experiences by trying to include multiplay. I wish more strategy games were single play only.

How are new AI types downloaded as mentioned in the manual? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

In the manual when you read under Metverse it mentions new AI types that can be downloaded based on how players win. Is this possible, and where do I find the in depth info on how someone won?

Of over 100 pc games I've played in the last year, this game is the best! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I play lots and lots of computer games (and since 1988 I've purchased over 500), and when comparing all of them from the past year, I think Galactic Civilizations is just about the best. Highly refined, very enjoyable, quite customizable, plus the Metaverse to keep track of your exploits... Thanks for making such a wonderful game!

Ironically the Avault review is netting new puchases in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

How can I say that? Because I am buying it now. After the accusations that the game cheats in the review, I had to come here to find out for myself if this was true. Finding out by reading these forums the fact that it is NOT true (the AI does not cheat), means this is an amazing feat in AI devlopment, and I am now buying the game. It would be neat howveer if the author posted a correction/retraction. Galciv, you can claim defamation of character and/or false reporting and f
