It matters not. They are just putting off being victims of the G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid of Slimy Aliens) empire. Our Death Ray Zorchers and Transmogrifiers will handle them.

Reply to No Sound in Cut Scenes in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Cari I have the same problem. When I load, the cutscenes have no music. The background music is there, the aliens music is there, but all cutscenes no go. And sometimes when I load it gives me that skippy poppin feelin on the background music as well. But I just exit, reload and that clears, but the cutscenes' sounds are gone permanantly. Will that link help me as well? And is this corrected in 3A.? If so, I'll just download it after my next game.

sixtoes you can join up right now if you want. The 5 evil games is only a requirement for senatorship, not membership. And we do realize that sometimes Neutral and Goody Goody have Evil advantages. Neutral is fun to play off the other evil and goody goodies against each other all the while profiteering off both. Yeah baby, just our kind of "neutrality." And Good is good on occasion for infiltration. while the torians are strong (they are less likely to declare war)

Assuming the defaults Good gets you some trade and diplomacy techs. Even when you are most powerful, it's genuinely harder to intimidate others. Good civs will more often than not like you more than if you are evil (but this doesn't guarantee peace with them). Usually the cost for good is negative planetary results "we'll just use the poles and leave all the good zones to the natives -20%productin." Evil gets you some military and imtimidation techs. It's harder to trad

Sorry was so late in replying. Yes MOM is master of magic. Infogrames owns the title as they own Moo and Much of the rest of the Microprose title line via hasbro interactive. I think They could technically give it to anyone to do but it has been rumored they were going to give it to qs if Moo3 did well. Well so far, Moo3 has been a disaster.

Oh and Bolo. We don't really care about the scores and submissions. We just do it. 5 evil submissions gets you a senatorship where your extra duties are zero. your extra perks are zero, and its basically meaningless. Oh and our goal as per Calvin is to be an evil empire bent on controlling everything. LMAO.

The transmogrifier, portable gun version. comes right after DeathRayZorcher technology and the Space Man Spiff combat suit upgrade.

Reply to AI cheating in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

That said, the single biggest advantage the human player has, based on what I've seen in the metaverse submissions, is the Ctrl-N feature. Players can just keep hitting that until they get a really good start. And let's face it, with a good enough of a start condition, even if it were multiplayer, a great player will have a hard time winning out if the starting conditions are stacked against it enough. Frogboy, I haven't tried the upper levels yet as I was told there is no advanta

Reply to AI cheating in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The AI cheats are well documented. They aren't really cheats in that sense. These were some of the cheats in the civ series. Wonders poofed into existence randomly (civ1) Heavy production, research, and tax revenue cheats at high levels At higher levels the base combat values for units were no longer valid (all 3 civs) That's right, they changed the base combat attack and defense values. That's how their destroyers (4-4) on civ2 could match up with yo

Reply to Metaverse annoying! :-( in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Thanks, only one problem: My usual strategies tend toward pragmatism (being neutral diplo master, and playing the good and evil guys off against each other). Coffee: We at G.R.O.S.S. encourage neutral and good strategies (seeing them both merely as evil in disguise). And I must say your strategy of faking neutrality, playing off one vs the other (all the while profiteering off both) is just the evil cunning we're looking for!!! That's worth 5 evil submissions in and of its

Jourin: If as ellestar suspects you have a connectivity recognition issue betwen the game and/or metaverse and aol's finicky browser, then try this. 1. If you (it used to be an imbed within aol's browser) have any version of explorer, you can use it as your browser essentially bypassing any aol browser incompatibilities. (it won't work if the incompatibility problem is within aol's servers themselves). Try finishing your game again . Then alt tab and Log on

Not more nerf balls!!! Noooooooo!!!!! We shipped our last batch to the Torians. they demanded to know the tech of the weapon. We could have destroyed them, but we'd rather see them try to research the explosive dynamics of a foam ball for a few laughs first. I wonder what the Drengin will do with em. Probably try to eat em. And the newly formed G.R.O.S.S. Get Rid Of Slimy alienS empire will rule the galaxy. Yes it's from Calvin and Hobbes, one of the best comic strips of all time.

Well put Frogboy. Well put. Everyone else: Do you know how the score was to be milked? I figured it out (at least one way) in my second game. Didn't post the game, however (my only game not posted) because it was cheesy. Play Gigantic, Low ai intellect, Sitting around hitting turn for 50-100 or so turns all the while deliberately not winning so your population could build to incredibly huge numbers. So in effect, to get huge scores involved not playing the game as was intended but what

It all comes down to this, I won't contribute money to the Democratic party, because I don't agree with many of the political platforms of that party. If that means I'm at war with the Democratic party, well so be it, but I don't see it that way. I know of no one, not to say there isn't someone, that contributes money to two opposing parties _______ With all due respect Erik, look at any major political action committee. You'll see that most contribute heavily to both parties. So
