First Report New Combat System Rocks AI Fights Back in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Playing a Obscene difficulty Game with 9 players in a large galaxy. Kinda in the center , picked out my first victim in a corner who really had a nice bunch of colonies in the initial rush. I 1.10.029 I would have rolled right over them with my initial fleet of medium hull Missile 9 cruisers. I took them out, but the AI put up much more of a fight. First off, the new combat system with damage, makes the game much more exciting IMHO. Several times I had to

Reply to Is the Sun really this big in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Just an update and the above problem. deleted all then reinstalled from CD then downloaded from SDC No problems. I am playing an old game created under 1.10.029 The save game loaded and played without any problem even with the new sphere.x file. Did not try to create a new game. I did try 1280x1024 and 2000 x 1024 multiplle monitor ssetups and they worked.

Reply to 1.2: Tie goes to attacker... why? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Makes sense, the attacker usually has the advantage in the strategic sense. The defender has the advantage usually tactically, which has toi be made up for by the attacker by technology or numbers etc. Ties to the attacker reward initiative and would in a gameplay environment tend to keep attacks moving forward, That might avoid a clickfest

Reply to The AI vs. Summer in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

The advantage of the attacker is usually strategic in nature. As it is in this game, now and in 1.2. The attacker can choose the time and place of the battle, Here you can coordinate your fleets and choose where to attack. You can choose to attack the big enemy fleet or the small enemy fleet. The timing of the battle is the attackers advantage. The defenders advantage is tactical. He had time to scout, prepare his positions, he knows the terrain, the quirks of the airspace bette

Reply to Game extending over Dual Monitors finally working right in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Current favorite is 2200 x 1024 That puts all center panels on t he left monitor, gives room for the galactopedia to be fully open, and allows a 9x 9 large map to be zoomed in and still show edge to edge over the two monitors and the selected ship shows off enough inside the left monitor so that you can move it easily without crossing over to the right side monitor....

Reply to FLAME: Why have these biased polls? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Stardock obviously wants to do a jewlery pack, so it presents it in the most pleasing form possible ($8.95 instead of $9). When GC2 originally was released, they indicated that omitting Multiplayer shaved approximately $10 from the price....and yet when the poll was done on MP, they asked if people would be willing to pay $20 (not $19.95 or $9.95) for the expansion.

It's Friday, 1.2 must be coming, I can't wait, ...... .they must be furiously typing and check and smoking up CPU's burning monitors out in the offices of Stardock as the final remnants of the problems with the memory issues, and UI fixes and new combat system slowly submit to the overwhelming might of the Stackdock assault programmers. Tick Tick Tick Tock....... no pressure though

Reply to FLAME: Why have these biased polls? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

oh oh Multiplayer fanboy on the loose..... Seriously, Stardock has now stated that the 8.95 option will probably be rolled into the next full expansion so they can concentrate on that . If theh time to develop multiplayer can be justified, Stardock would do it. But it looks right now that a lot of other things are more important for a lot of the current users. Remember, all current users are SP now, so Stardock knows it can count on a lot of current sales to po
