That is kind of what happened, as I got an account about 6 or 7 years ago, and when I went to buy Galactic Civilizations 2 I bought it online, instead of in the store, so maybe I got a second account for that. Either way, I had a similar problem when I bought that game, but Stardock was able to fix it. I tried to get them to just merge the two accounts, but they could not do that at the time.

I did finish that game, and the Yor were pretty strong. They had ships with over 200 missile attack. They still ended up getting destroyed because I had much stronger ships (with >100 attack in each beam, missile, and mass driver, plus 200 defense against missiles), and I had a much higher quantity, because I didn't lose many in my war against the Drengin. I'll try to pick up the TA if it can be purchased with tokens.

[quote]/cynical mode on Wouldn't the fact that it's been a few months since you last played them game also contribute to your amazement? /cynical mode off Sorry, I just had to say that. [/quote] That may have something to do with it, but even so, I have never had an opponent mount a competent attack against me before.

I haven't purcahsed DA yet, but I was planning on getting it this weekend. I had trouble with SDC and it isn't accepting my TotalGaming.net subscription. Maybe I will just wait until TA is released and get them both at the same time.

I just started up a new game of GC2 after not playing for a few months at least. I started the game in a Gigantic galaxy against three opponents (Drengin, Arcean, and Yor) on the Impossible difficulty. I started the game in a very bad position, I expanded to the right and I found the Arceans right there, I expanded to the left and the Drengin were there to meet me. I expanded up, and there were the Yor. We were all spawned within the bottom left corner of the map, and I was stuck between the

I am trying to buy Sins of a Solar Empire and Jets'n'Guns but I cannot get the tokens I purchased to show up on my account. I tried registering them in Stardock Central, but even though I get a screen saying that "Your games subscription has been successfully registered", I still have no tokens. I even changed my e-mail address to match my billing e-mail address and tried to purchase more tokens, but this did not work either. How do I get to use the tokens that I purchased? It is a little bi

Now that I have played one game under "Masochistic" with the new AI, I can say that it can finally keep up with me in Research and expansion. I think this will be the new difficulty level I use. However, they were still very docile in that game, although I usually strike within the first two years so maybe they just haven't built up a sufficient force to be aggressive yet? I do think that the AI is much improved, although not enough to make the game as enjoyable as it was when I first started

The AI does seem a little better. The opponents are still very docile, and I haven't had any try to attack me yet, but they are building up quicker and are making better choices on their planets. They are also building better ships and are at least putting up a fight when I attack them. If you set the opposition to "crippling" they can almost keep up with you in technology, economy, and production, although they still fall behind. I've only played 3 games with the new AI, so I'll try the nex

I forgot to tell you about the book. Sorry. The book is called The C Programing Language Second Edition by Brian W. Kernigan and Dennis M. Ritchie. The second edition gives the ANSI C standard for C.

Brad, I apologize for that last reply. I can understand someone not taking the time to truly hammer out their arguments when they are passionate about it. I used to write articles like you do when I was in High School. If you like writing in that style, then continue doing so. Just remember that people will pick up on it, and remember that you are only bringing up the pieces of stories that support your argument. I am still upset that someone went out of her way to berate m

There is a HUGE difference between the troops in Germany and Japan after the war and the troops in Iraq now. I can't even believe that you compared the three. I can see a correlation to South Korea, but Germany and Japan? You have got to be kidding me. There is no ongoing war in either of those countries, and there was no guerrilla war taking place at all after both nations surrendered. That is not true in Iraq, and the same can be said about Kore

I know that I stopped reading your blog a while back because your political comments were so pointed and one sided, but I have been bored today and decided to give you another chance. I agree with this post for the most part. I have found that even trying to stick up for people of a different opinion than the mob has made people attack me personally. I generally play the devils advocate in arguments that seem to be one sided, because I hate seeing p

I am not worrying much about them. Thanks for being concerned about me though. It was a bad idea to drink so much, but I will use it as a learning experience. How are things going with you anyway? I saw that some people were mad at you, although I don't understand why. I guess I don't need to understand why. I am sure that everything will work itself out eventually - it always does.
