Adnurm. I don't know if you already do this, but I find it useful to rename them with a name which tells you where they are or what they do, instead of those meaningless numbers. Also delete one when it is no longer necessary.

Captain Yar. Your tactic is good fun and very satsifying. I slight variation : If I am attacked by two civs, it is fun to plonk a well developed military star base in thier territory with a fleet in attendence, then let them bang their heads on it while I set about the other civ.

Reply to A Call to Action - Keep on Being Active with GalCiv2 in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The people who score over a million points for a game, or beat it in less than one year, put me off submitting games. There did not seem any point. ( I never did get into the Alt Meta ) Now these guys are giving up, would make it a good time for ordinary players to come back. I submitted my first game for a long time. My aim is to be top in the empire I belong to, the Gerontocracy. Since I think I am the only active member, that should not be too difficult.[e digicons]:grin:[/

Madsko. If you are awake from your afternoon nap, I have just realised that I stand a chance of displacing you from top spot in our empire. Don't get too worried. It takes me several weeks to complete a game, especially at this time of year, there are all those useless young shop assistants to complain too. Then of course there are always the idiot drivers and noisy kids in the street with all their expensive toys. In MY day......[e digicons]>:([/e]

Thanks guys for your kind invitation to join you. I do not think I would be much help. I am not playing the game much these days. For example, I do not have a game going at the moment.

Reply to Planetary Invasion in Waves in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Another point. If you are "evil" attacking a "good" planet, most of the structures are " destroyed because you cannot use them ". So, you might as well destroy them during invasion tactics. I assume it works the other way as well. Good invading evil.

The internet links to America are slow and it can take forever to download a large file, especially if you just have dial up.

I didn't see it as comedy. I saw it as stating the obvious truth and disguising it as comedy to get away with it.

I find it easier just to turn it off. I wouldn't know how to turn the firewall off anyway. I don't play the game when I am online and I only turn it off to set up a game.

Thanks for the replies. I have found that it is my virus checker that is the problem. If I turn it off, then there is no problem. It also stops the random CTD's that I was getting with previous versions.

Reply to One Billion Computers! in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

I think most places have a group of people who take old computers, do them up {mix and match parts} and then give them to people who cannot afford to buy one. I know my town does. Check it out. If you don't have one locally, why not get a group together.
