Reply to Why no multiplayer? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I would settle for a constantly evolving (via updates) AI over a multiplayer option. This way constantly using the same tactics would not work. I thought that GC1 was going to use Human Player Tactics uploaded from submitted games to improve the AI, maybe this could be looked at. Most people, if not you then dont get upset, that were able to beat the game constantly used the same formula over and over (diplomacy weighted mod packs helped in this endeavour). Some else poin

GalCiv 2 CD for dialup users in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

As a subscriber to TGN I am looking forward to the release of the GalCiv 2 beta. As a dialup user what is the procedure to get the CD sent out and is there a cost involve with this. I have no objection to paying a nominal fee and for P&H. I had also asked about this for Disciples 2 (a few months ago now) on the TGN website and got no joy.

Reply to To all pirates and people who want to read this post. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi Jon, before I joined GROSS I used to be in the now defunct ANZACS. The reason I left was there was only 3 active members at the time and GROSS had about 10. Never feel obligated to stay in an empire if you are not happy, but as all the other posters say, you are able to join in their conversation threads. I no longer play the game (1 year and 180 games are enough for me) but I now hang around waiting for GC2.

Back to a pressing question for dial up subscribers. Is there any chance of getting the games on CD for a nominal fee?

Reply to Downloading Help here in Political Machine Stardock Forums

I agree with Paul, I would gladly pay a fee for a CD/DVD with the larger games included to be mailed to me. I have tried to download Disciples 2 on dialup but sometimes when I resume the downloads itstarts from scratch.

Reply to Planet Quality and Colonization in Strategies Stardock Forums

I grab PQ13+ planets from the start. I think it is worth it to have the extra production power and with the two PQ techs available quickly the planets are pretty useful. I have PQ +5% as a starting bonus. By the end of the game, I am colonising PQ9 planets for their influence bonuses for my empire.

I too am only on dial up but I bought the Drengin.net as I support the ideal of what Stardock offers. Is there an option where we can pay extra to have a cds/dvd mailed out to us with all the content (all games) on? This way we would only have to download the patches/upgrades. Does Stardock Central enable you to restart a download from what you have already done if interrupted? [Message Edited]

Reply to I can manufacture evil ships if I am "Good" and conquer an "evil" empire? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Kind of. Once conquering the planet if a Wraith or a Vampyre is in the ship build then it will let you complete that build if you do not alter it. Once built then the option is removed. The same goes for alignment based trade goods if you are lucky enough to conquer a planet building one. Ensure you dont attempt to change the social build.

Reply to IF they were going to do a MOM update, should the races be balanced or no? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]Not true. It is still possible to make races balanced well enough and still allow having fun through different abilities. [/quote] Why should all the races be balanced? When you have a heap of different races it makes sense there will always be stronger ones and weaker ones. The fact that some races are weaker makes it more fun when you use them to conquer the more powerful races. Historically, in games, I always play dwarves as I like the idea of thei

Reply to IF they were going to do a MOM update, should the races be balanced or no? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Races should not be balanced as this will take the fun out of using their different abilities. Nomads and dwarves were my favourites.
