Assuming your installation isn't corupted (worst case senario) install the update patches (1.05 and then 1.10) available from Stardock Central . . . this should fix almost all your problems . . .

I never build frieghters unless I'm desperate for cash . . . and I only build social projects that improve my economy/moral as I need them. I always build Economic Exchanges (luv these ones I build them super early) Trade centers (appear too late in the game imho) and all the habbit improvements (soil, improved hab', terraforming and the terraformer (if I'm lucky)). . . all these have no maintaiance. Never bother with defences or ship improvement facilities (plan def', sys def

Reply to New CTD problem with GCX in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It's, I think is a throw back to the older well know but never really fixed problem associated with destoying collonies . . . I still get it too! It's annoying . . . do you have an earlier save on standby, a pre-saved game? Mmm . . . send the game or Smart Exception log to CariElf, I'm sure she'd be very interested to have a look at it . . . good luck. Alternatively, just don't destroy the colony? I know thats no concilation though.

OK dokie . . . 1. Get a start in the 'middle' of the map (or as close as you can) 2. Make sure you have a nice Sol . . . PQ 19 or 20 (I'm pretty rough on my citizens early on) 3. Save the game 4. Load your saved game and build a couple scout, set spending to zero (reduces your own pop-ups) and scout out as far as your collony ships can go . . . draw a little star map if it helps you remember where the nearest good systems are . . . 5.

Black_Shade, we have different playing styles (I use Alliance and Cullture bombong alot and build no millitary) . . . all the same I clean up using Terror Stars (vile I know) but it takes less than an hour. A Gigantic Map takes anywhere from 4 hrs (my PB) to 7 hours. I probably average under 5 hours now . . . I try and keep the Dregeins around in all my games because for some strange reason I can steal alot of techs off them in the end game . . . makes a big difference . . .<br

Paguma . . . your right! That's the striking thing that occured to me when I played GC the first few times too. WT? Why the heck are they attacking me! The AI for an agressive millitary (all be it a bit Key Stone Chopish) I guess is easier to write than any other non violent tactic. However, the computer is a huge disadvantage since it still can't really use Star Bases effectively, for example . . . I gifted a Terror star to two advisery AIs right next to thier respective opposing plane
