In my game the lights don't appear on most planets, but they do on a few. I'm don't know what determines if they appear or not.

Reply to Brad's known issue list in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I can confirm that Social Production is completely broken after the patch and Research may be bugged as well. Make a custom race with no bonuses in production or research and start a game. Set taxes to 50 and spending to 100. Output on the homeword for military production, social production and research is 8-7-8 respectively (shouldn't it be 8-8-8?) Start another game with +50 military production bonus and output is at 12-7-8. This makes sense: 50% of 8 is 4, 4+8=12. <

Reply to AI Balance> Unfair AI-to-AI Tech Trade in Trade Stardock Forums

Sure, techwhoreing works. That's how a lot of top GC1 players played the game and I do it to a lesser extent (I just make sure and keep a few choice tech to myself until I see an AI researching it and then I sell it to everyone the week before they complete the research... including to the civ researching it MUHAHAHAH). It's just kind of annoying, IMO, when everyone is at the same tech level because the AIs sell everything they get.

Really? So far you could count on one hand the number of offers I've recieved in my game that's in 2228. It may be bugged, or I've just been very unlucky. Is the AIs trading with the Pirates a bug? I thought everyone was always at war with the Pirates. Is there some way for the player to trade with the Pirates in GC2?

That leaves 1/3 unaccounted for. And what about social? Although they may not crash the game, these could be significant bugs.

It don't get stuttering, but the animation window will briefly flash white for a split second. This happens maybe every 20 or 30 seconds. Only happens with Yor. Geforce 6800 GT 81.95 drivers

Reply to STICKY: EASY TWEAKS to make the game better for you in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Is there any way to get the mini-map, once zoomed in, to move with the main map so both keep the same central point of focus? I get the mini-map to re-center to the main map focus by a quick zoom out, zoom in two-step. If it followed automatically, that would be great! Yes! That annoys me immensely, especially on a gigantic map.

Reply to Espionage - Game Suggestions (put 'em here!) in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Espianoge is the most uninteresting part of the game. With destabilization gone it's even less than GC1, which was very basic already. I hope to see it fleshed out in an expansion. From Frogboy's comments in the last chat I think that will happen.

Reply to STICKY: EASY TWEAKS to make the game better for you in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I'd like to see the tooltips fixed so that they appear when you first put the mouse over the object. As it is now, you put the mouse over the object, THEN you have to move the mouse a second time a small distance while keeping it over the object. Diagonal scrolling would be nice too. Making the "lights" you add on to ships actually emit their own light would be cool as heck. P

Reply to The influence starbase... in Game Talk Stardock Forums

All the majors will flip if you bomb them with culture (assuming they don't build the no flip project). Does that include the Yor? They have 100% loyalty in GC2.

Reply to Isolationism vs Information Brokering in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yep, same as GalCiv 1. When you looked at the endgame stats after a GC1 game you would see that most AI civs only researched maybe 1/5 of the techs they aquired. In fact , if anything I think the GalCiv 2 AIs are even more shameless techwhores than GC1. I've noticed that even though there may be big differences in how much various AI civs are spending on research they all have the same tech level because as soon as one of them researches something it gets traded to all the rest within

My Screwy AP Game in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Playing AP 1.52b.013. There are a couple of odd things wrong with it. First, where is the Smuggling tech? AFAIK, AP has all the techs in GC 1.22 plus a couple more. Yet, I cannot research it even though I have the prerequisites: Trade tech and alignment of 30 or less (my alignment is 1 :p ). Second, the Barriers defensive module doesn't work. When I upgrade a starbase the description for Barriers says "String not found" :SURPRISED: If I select Barriers anyway it does not ch
