You need don't need Drengin.net, but if you don't have it you have to buy it seperatly. You don't get it for free just for having GalCiv. Don't know if there is a release date yet. ~SDC~
It was announced. Heres a post from CariElf in the thread announing it. [quote]Make sure that you get version 1.49M. L wasn't reading the registry correctly so it wasn't reading in any of the Gal Civ files. Version History: +fixed bug in 1.49L where it wasn't checking the registry right +fixed skip mission bug +restart mission option added to select campaign screen first three +missions are easier now fixed bug where AI was missing the resource +(
I'm not certain but I think its B. To be honest though in 1.5 years there won't be any new patches. They are almost done with the game now. One more major patch for the regular game, then perhaps a few patches for Altarian Phophecy and they will be done with GalCiv. ~SDC~
If you mean Altarian Phophecy you have to spend extra for that, but you don't need the expansion for the Excalibur. ~SDC~
[quote]If this is addressed to me, I don't even know what AP stands for.[/quote] AP=Altarian Prophecy, the second expansion. ~SDC~
[quote]pardon my ignorance, but what is the "beta" version of AP? is this the actual Ap that is for sale on stardock or is this like a test version that you buy, and then when actual exspansion comes out this month, you can just download that onto the file you already have from the beta?[/quote] A beta of a program is a test version usually not available to everyone, though at this point if you buy it is. As for the second question, yes I would assume so, though you probably want to fi
He might not know english, and since there don't appear to be forums for the other languages you should be able to post in whatever language you want. They just should realise it will probably take longer to get an answer if they don't post in english. ~SDC~
[quote]How long between elections? Is this a fixed length?[/quote] Yes. I don't remember how long since I never kept track, but I think its either every two or four years. ~SDC~
[quote]just a month or 2 ago you had to go back to at least page 2 to find 1 day old topics, now its a few posts before the day old stuff comes up. Wheres everyone gone? Feels like a ghost town out here...[/quote] I think most people have decided to do most of their posting on the empire forum now, which I don't spend any time in but have notice how often posts are made there sometimes. Most posting here is answering questions now. ~SDC~
[quote]They're not random events!!![/quote] Yes they are, I may not have played as many games as other people but still I have never seen them in a game, if they weren't a random event they would be in every game that lasted long enough and I would have seen them. ~SDC~
[quote]What's a ctd?[/quote] Crash to Desktop ~SDC~
[quote]That is great for Stardock. Wonder if they'll release the expansion as a stand-alone or it will require GalCiv?[/quote] Maybe, maybe not with all the trouble they have had getting retail money for Galciv in the past. This may have changed if Frogboy was willing to make this agreement but last I heard they haven't gotten any of the retail money from GalCiv, only from what was sold through the website. ~SDC~
[quote]-Is the $19.95 pre-order price a discount, or will the price be the same after it goes gold?[/quote] Don't know [quote]-Does AP overwrite GalCiv, or is it a completely seperate install? (I ask in part because I'm still new to the original game, and want to keep them seperate).[/quote] AP is installed to a seperate folder. ~SDC~
[quote]Will it be compatible with saved games?[/quote] It would be best to assume it isn't, haven't tried though so can't say. ~SDC~
[quote]ecologists? I dont' see that option ..[/quote] The ecologists are one of three parties in a mod you have to download from the library on the website. ~SDC~
[quote]Where did the edit-button go?[/quote] If you mean the edit post button you can only use it 15 minutes after making a post then it goes away. ~SDC~
[quote]Can you get it without paying anything, if you already have the 'retail cd' of Galciv, or it is seperate like an expansion pack where everyone has to pay for it if they want it whether or not they already own Galciv? [/quote] This isn't like the first expansion, you have to pay for it one way or another. ~SDC~
[quote]Cloaking gives you the ability to buit Phoenix ships, doesn't it? Or is that an alignment required ship?[/quote] Maybe it does I didn't say that the way I meant, I really meant the techs he listed don't do what the names imply you can, there is no cloaking system you can use for your ships, and you can't ever build stars or moons. ~SDC~
[quote]Can we turn off minor races?[/quote] It's an option in the scenario editor, I haven't tested it though. ~SDC~
[quote]Somebody Please tell me what is MOO3? I've probably played it but don't get the whole abbreviation thing. I think trolls and flamers suck, by the way how do i become a veteran? Do i have to send money?. [/quote] Answer questions, help people, if you do it enough and Stadock notices it you will be made a veteran ~SDC~
[quote]Hyperdrives bend space hundreds of times a minute with the effect of increasing speed far above the speed of light.[/quote] What is the difference between bending space and folding space? Because acccoring to the website folding space is how the Stargates worked. ~SDC~
[quote]Anyway, my question is this: Are the any plans ever to allow multiplayer games[/quote] He's said no to this on more than one occasion, maybe for GalCiv2 but not for GalCiv1, its my understanding that other than getting AP out then probably doing some patches for it they are done with GalCiv1 now. ~SDC~
[quote]Also what victories are the most high scoring? I tend to go with alliance victories.[/quote] Military victory is the highest. I think the order is Military, Alliance, Culture, Technology. ~SDC~
[quote]I know that there are sliders already in place that allow for universal control over Military, Research, and Social. But is there a way to control what a planet does at the planetary level? For instance, if I have a planet that is out of social projects, could I tell it individually to allocate all resources toward Military projects?[/quote] No, my understanding is they couldn't find a way to get the a.i to do those intelligently, and Stardock tries to avoid micromanaging. <

[quote] I am not sure I follow the logic since no one had warp drive until the humans. I do not understand how they explored space if they were bottled in by warp gates, even if they had 10 million years.[/quote] And as for this it's because the races have been advanced long enough that they have been sending probes out that over thousands of years have gotten close enough to every star in the galaxy to evaluate them. ~SDC~
