Culture flipping and reloads in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I had a number of enemy planets showing the little red "in danger of flipping" icon and figured I would just let them flip instead of invading them - my brilliant AI enemy had sent colony ships into my territory to claim "extreme" worlds and I let them through. One planet flipped to me, but the game crashed. I reloaded, and the planet did not flip - I figure there is randomness, so no biggie. I noticed the red icon was no longer there though.

How do you bring back GNN report if you close it?

Reply to More hit points? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

From my experience, ships only end up with more HP than the max, when you are repairing them in orbit. That is what I am seeing. Is that intentional?

More hit points? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've noticed that sometimes when my ships repair damage, they end up with more hit points then they are allowed. So I will see 9/8 for example. THis seems...odd.

Thanks guys. I see that the laptop to video site is in French and the drivers are listed as "multilingual". Does this mean they are ok for EN also?

Cheat codes in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Are there cheat codes to win the scenarios in the campaign? I was about 90% done with a campaign scenario when I saved my multiverse game to the same file. :( Speakign of which...any chance of seperating campaign and non-campaign saves?

Driver issues with NVIDIA Geforce Go 7900 GS in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I've started playing DA (2.0) and noticed that I am getting a number of crashes that appear to be video card driver related. The most repeatable case is having finished the first scenario in the campaign, DA crashes after displaying the "you won" message. Presumably it is trying load a video at that point? I've seen something similiar when I launch a scenario - after choosing my race if I click next quickly DA again crashes. I've got a dell laptop

Starship Bonus and Influence Points in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

What is starship bonus? Is it applied to military production or does it somehow improve your ships? You can trade with other empires to get or give influence points. How does that work exactly?

Creating a metaverse account in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

When I try to create an account, I get to the http://metaverse.galciv2.com/index.aspx?g=managecharacters screen. I then try to add a character, and when I type a name of > 4 characters I get a message that I am using disallowed characters. I am only using letters and numbers, and I am NOT copying and pasting. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Apocalypse in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Things just turned pretty badly for me in the Apocalypse scenario. I rush built a bunch of colony ships to have about 8 worlds. Out of my starting two planets, I turned one into an industrial specialist planet and the other into an economy planet. I turned on of the worlds in the upper right into my research world. THe others I generalized with. I focused mostly on building constructers and freighters since my weapons were so weak, though I did build a few warships. I traded t

Defense interaction in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

If I build a ship with a defense of 4/0/0 it is functionally 4/2/2, right? So if I build say a 4/4/4 is it functionally an 8/8/8?

Influence Starbases in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Where should I be building influence starbases? Should I build them so the planets creating the influence are within the starbases's sphere of influence, or as close to my borders as possible?

Reply to I-League and Culture in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well, I added a few attachments to my uber culture starbase in their sector. I guess they got *so* excited about joining my empire that their whole solar system just popped when my now death star came to say hello. Honest, I didn't blast them for being the rebel scum they are...honest! :)

Reply to Culture and Diplomacy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Is there really much point in going after inlfuence votes? Since you don't know what issue is going to come up for a vote, and it could be something pointless or of minor value to you, let alone something you are already in the majority on...

Culture and Diplomacy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

So, you can get and give cultural influence with diplomacy...but what happens to the cultural influence points after being traded? Are they divided up in every sector you own? Every sector on the board? Every sector the AI you got it from has points in? BTW, thanks for your help guys in answering all my questions. :)

Reply to Metaverse Submission problems in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

So I sent a second game in, and I don't see that one...and no overall scores either...does this information take some significant amount of time to update? Do I need to join an empire? Is it something else?

Resources and Enemy Starbases in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

So, and unclaimed resources appear on the mini-map...and any you control you can obviously see. But, when the AI takes a resource, unless their starbase is in your sensor range, you can't see it or the resource at all! If you have an auto-pilot moving scout or a survey ship on auto-survey discover a resource like this, you may well never notice, let alone keeping track. Therefore, I suggest some change to the minimap to show enemy controlled resources whether they are within yo

I'm also having the same problem. I submit a game to the metaverse and it doesn't show up there. Can we get an ETA on the fix for this? Thanks...
