Reply to HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Oh, boy... Once again feel somewhat compelled to explain to all the non-USA-based folks here, that November 27th in the USA is "Thanksgiving Day" a non-religious holiday celebrating some obscure event soon after the founding of this country. Basically, us Yanks stuff ourselves with turkey and other foods, perhaps watch sports on TV, and revel in the fact that it's Thursday and we're NOT AT WORK!!. So, don't take offense at the US-ego-centric stuff about Thanksgiving. Play some

Reply to Thank You Veterans in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Thanks, Idle! To all you folks not in the USA, today is celebrated as Veterans Day here. You have veterans in your country as well.

Reply to How do you colonise? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi, Christopher -- Had the same problem when I started Gal Civ! When your colony ship arrives at a star-desination, you should see a notification of that, center screen. Over to the right, there should be a panel listing the planets and their attributes. Mentally pick the one you want (highest Planet Quality --PQ-- usually), and move your cursor there -- if you then click on it, you colonize it. What could be simpler? I know, it wasn't clear to me at all... Hope thi
