Reply to No Copy Protection, is it really that big a deal? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

HOMM5. Was I looking forward to it? You bet. DId it look ike a winner? I think so. Am I going to buy it. No way... Same for me. I removed that Starforce crap having played "D-Day" a bit (a friend of mine gave it to me, it wouldn't run on his machine) and I won't buy Heroes of Starforce V for this reason. I'

I have to say I never use the side scrolling in Gal Civ. Same for me - side scrolling seems so "last century" now.

Reply to Movement path BUG/bad algorythm in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, auto-moving sometimes doesn't take the shortest way to a given target. That's why I don't trust it when things are important. (Btw, your picture can only be seen when logged in at Apolyton.)

Reply to Information attack possible bug in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Note that all "special" invasions don't affect the planet in case the invasion fails: Planet quality isn't reduced, no improvements are destroyed and so on. I guess that adding the number back to the population is another aspect of the same "feature". (Yes, it's intentional AFAIK - even though it is unrealistic and exploitable.)

Trade (along with a couple of other techs) isn't available in the first campaign missions.

Another review in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Very good review, the only caveats are: Tech tree is a bit dull at times (which is not that untrue), and no multiplayer (again).

Reply to So many small tech itterations for same overall tech in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I'd like to change that there is quite a number of techs that don't change anything, they're only a prerequisite for one other tech. It doesn't have to be much, just adding little things like "+10% hitpoints" to "Superiors Hulls" (which does nothing on its own) would give the system a bit more flavour.

I hope that good sales figures will improve the chance of a real multiplayer function to be added.

Reply to Social Spending Always on! in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Yup, I'd like to see that changed, too. Setting the planet to focus on military production or research is - unnecessary micromanagement - saves only about half of the wasted money

Reply to The first sales figures are in! in GalCiv II News Stardock Forums

Thanks for the information - we're doing our best at convincing people to buy the game, btw. Looking forward to see some sales figures in the future, I was always interested in these, but many developers / publishers seem to treat them like important business secrets - which I don't understand.

Perhaps a "Fight to the death" option could be added, as a game option? I'd welcome that.

Good to hear you're surrounded by great folks. It's that kind of "location factor" that makes (or breaks) things.

Congrats Stardock! It's not like every TBS game could have done this - it had to be a really good one! I don't agree on one thing though: Incidentally, the other PC game on the list is also a strategy game. It

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

Bugs and issues I encountered: I usually get an extra turn when (re)loading a game. I can move all my ships (they show like 5 of 0 moves), then I hit the turn button, the date doesn't advance, nothing is produced, the AI doesn't move, and I can begin a normal turn (moving all ships included). (this is probably related to #30) When (re)loading, I often have a lot of ships on auto-pilot to the "southern" corner of the map. Only idle
