New computer. Disks gone. Installed through Impulse, Game Stop, and now bought it from Steam. GALCIV II Complete. Only one game works, TA, DA does not work. It crashes after you've picked your players, Galciv2 also does not work for the same reason. Does Stardock ever respond. Tried to buy Start 8, No email for that either.
Same problem in Win 7. Can't load tuturial game after save.
On Xp, with a tutorial. If I save a game, and then try to reload it, I get an error message, game ends or I just crash to the desktop. I may try it at home with Win 7.
No, I am referring to Twilight (not the movie!). How does strategy change? How do you stay above water money wise?
I'm afraid I always played DA by grabbing more planets. To do that I needed money. I would send out 8 surveyors looking for money. Otherwise I would get into the hole too fast. So what is the best way to get money in TA. Or, is that a bad strategy?
I have them turned on. Do they only show up when the ship is selected?
I got a new computer with 6 gig memory. Running Win 7. I thought this problem would go away. It didn't. Still late in the game, ship icons (for newly built ships). Can find them manually but it is a pain. I know it won't get fixed. They have to try to fix Elemental first (damn it is boring).
Whether it is "idle" or not? I have just started and it seems there is no good way to learn the game. No good tutorial. The campaign is not a good tutorial. Why is there no good manual? The vids assume you know half the stuff. I start a game. The map is so boring looking. I have figured out something. I love the Galcivs and I need something else to play.
I know I have been playing galciv2 for too long. I think I have forgotten how to tie my shoes let along learn a new game. I sure wish there was a better tutorial. And so I know how to save a game indirectly. But is there a button on the main game screen that takes you to the main menu?
Newbie. Is it the campaign?
I think maybe they charged too little! And probably got too few buyers. Instead of charging $5 for a classic, I would have been willing to $7-8. And that is a 60% increase in income. I always thought their games, despite being old, were a steal. Odd to feel that way as a buyer.
If I have 1.07, and the start program says there is an update and asks if I want it. Is there a later version?
Uninstall on right clicking is available on all my Galciv games. But not on Elemental. No uninstall showing on right clicking. Maybe because it needs to get done to uninstall? I don't know. And why is Elemental not showing up under the Control Panel Uninstall. I had one of the later betas before trying to use Impulse tonight. Cancelling the download process still doesn't give me a right click uninstall.
Purchased, had betas, now trying to download. Getting decompression error. Several times. I thought maybe I would uninstall the beta but I don't see that feature now on Impulse. Nor is the program showing in under uninstalling using the control panel.
This may have been asked elsewhere, but I don't find the search engine very helpful. Will the game come with tutorial scenarios to help teach the game elements? Thx
I notice the Elven Legacy is on sale at Impulse. I am tempted to buy the game. I have read some reviews of the first version. Apparently it is a lot like HOMM. But one complaint of the reviewers is that if you don't finish the map in very quick order (so undue wandering around), you fail and must start again. It becomes like an untimed puzzle. So is this a legit complaint about the game and its sequels? I am tempted to buy the game but I don't lik
I am hardly a big demander of graphics. I don't mind the maps, but the units are awful and difficult to identify. I wonder whether someone could just update the units. I don't know whether the unit graphics are separate files or hardwired into the game. I have tried some suggestions on the gog forum. Maybe my monitor is too big at 24".
Ideally looking conservative for my work computer. And I would like small icons and names (of the program). Right now I have ObjectDock Plus 1. Am willing to consider Plus 2 if necessary. Right now I am using Pegstop's PStart which is easy to use and free. But it could be better.
I think it is going for $35.00 now. Would like it more at $30. Would like it more at...
This is an Empire Deluxe type game. I play Empire, EDIE, and EDEE and loved them. Empires of Steel is apparently in the same genre. Anybody tried it? It is at www.battlefront.com . You can download a demo. For some reason, I couldn't do it on the site but found it elsewhere.
I generally don't like RTS games. Their website tends to downplay the RTS side of the game (pausable, etc.). What's the take on the RTS side of the game?
Two small things take up a lot of my time on DA: 1. The lack of the ability to reject or at least not use a captured tech--like a costly upgrade in manufacturing which can wreck my economy unless I go through planet by planet and delete the upgrades. I think this was mentioned earlier by someone else. 2. On the planet screen started by the leftmost button, show the type of planet (high gravity, toxic, etc) with an icon. This would help particularly with
Unfortunately I am too stupid to find the transparency codes. I'll try again. I found another program called "Pstart" which is freeware and close to what I want. It has a simple menu of small icons and names of programs. The only thing I don't like about it is that when running it plants itself as a program running in the bottom bar taking up space. You can minimize it though to the tray.
I see one problem with using a wormhole with colonizers or constructors early in the game. If the ships are beyond "the range," all that you are allowed to do is go directly towards your territory.
I want a simple launch program that sits on the side of my screen that has "less wow." Simple names of programs and maybe an incon. Is there a way to mod ObjectDock for my boring tastes?
