The game art and UI is designed for 1024x768. there is no way to change the resolution without completely redoing most of the UI art, and SD is not going to waste their budget doing this. Sorry but that's just the way it is.

Reply to alignment tech weakness in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

But then you'd just end up punishing someone who is save/reloading because they botched their strategy repeatedly and wants to give another try. Such as if I bought a full combat transport from an AI (but don't have the tech for it myself) and need to invade another AI before the planet rebuilds its defenses or gets captured by the other AIs. The problem is the population/soldiering works out to just about the same as that on my transport, so I would need to save/reload a few times if I

Reply to 3D Maps in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Simply put: 3D maps don't work unless you use starlanes. GalCiv does not use starlanes. Thus 3D maps in GalCiv won't work. There'd be ships all over the place with no way to actually tell where they are. :notsure:

No, there are no permanent repercussions for your alignment choices, not in that way. You can bounce back and forth along the spectrum and grab all the techs you please--the only limiting factor is how long you're willing to wait to get enough events to do it.

[quote]Why don't you just set up a text file on your computer and type all your keys into it when you get them?[/quote] That's exactly what I do. Works like a charm, and I never need to worry about losing CD cases or digging them out from wherever they are. I just print the list out or burn it to a CD whenever I do a backup and I've got no worries.

Reply to Was wasted production ever fixed? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

AI updates based on the metaverse never meant the AI would magically adapt to players' strategies. Just that the devs would use info submitted to the metaverse to reprogram the AI to take the same tech path, basic strategy, etc as top players.

This just in from IRC: [quote](.Cari_Elf_Girl_Geek) well, that should be a simple matter to correct once Pat gets back from his appointment (.Cari_Elf_Girl_Geek) he can probably just write a script to update everything[/quote] So hopefully the metaverse will be back in action soon! :D

Reply to alignment question. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Clarification: The progression (in game) is Saintly, Chaotic Good, Neutral, Chaotic Evil, Demonic. Chaotic is indeed taken from RPG alignments but here it basically just means you make choices mostly in line with your alignment but sometimes you don't, while Saintly/Demonic means you pretty much always choose the option for your alignment. Neutral, obviously, means you usually pick the neutral choice :)

Exxex99, scores are being received properly. You can go look at your profile and it does indeed show you submitted a medium maso today. I submitted two tiny masos this morning, and had the same result. The games are there, however, so it looks more like a minor DNS snafu on the rankings page (from the server move this morning, my guess is it's still pulling info from the old database or something, thus no updates from after the move). Rest assured though that the stardockians will figu
