Reply to USA Bombs Iran ???? in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

I find it amazing that there are some people that think the Americans are winning the war with Iraq. There are some Iraqis that think that killing Americans in Iraq is easier than killing them in America and will continue to do so. The serious players realise that the best way to get rid of them is to keep their heads down and once the Americans have gone, they can get on with the serious business of killing each other. As I see it, their are two possible outcomes in Iraq.<

Reply to Brad's life philosophy, for what it's worth in GalCiv Journals Stardock Forums

I am in my seventies and a female. Turn based games allow me to use my mind and imagination. Bless you for producing Gal Civ in all it's incarnations. A turn based fantasy game sounds great. To the guy whose life sucks. You need to find something that you enjoy and then find someone who will pay you to do it. If the second part is not possible, then cut your expenses to the bone and do it anyway. Spending your life doing anything else is just a waste of your life.

Quote To follow this line of thinking:My car has 4 doors,I only use 1,therefore it's bloated by those extra 3 doors.It's also painted,all it needs to prevent rust is primer.I only use "D" and "R" on the shifter,more bloat.The rear windows that go up and down,useless to me.It has the name/logo on the trunk,floor-mats,grill,hubcaps,dashboard,etc.ADWARE!!! Why can't they make a decent one door sedan,4-windowed,2 speed,plain and unmarked for me? Quote What a brilliant idea. <br

I hate to spoil the party, but I have not noticed it. I have played two games as the Korath, slightly modified. Gogantic map. Crippling. No tech pick. Normal research. Research is slow, but no sudden jumps.

Kryo. I installed smart exception and had another crash. When I followed the smart exception prompts, I got the message that there was no file. Maybe it is not a game problem, but a Vista problem ? The crashes only happen very rarely and it works fine afterwards. I can probably live with it.

The cassowary grows to about five feet, which makes it a lot smaller than the Emu. The female is larger than the male and like the Emu, the male icubates the eggs and looks after the young. I love that idea. :LOL: http://australian-animals.net/casso.htm Like a lot of Australian animals it is in danger of extinction.

I have had a stardock.net account for sometime and the latest SDC installed. All the games I have bought show up and I have installed them and updated them with no problem. The exception is Twilight of Arnor. I installed the beta when I pre ordered it. When it was released I deleted the Beta, but now I cannot instal the final game. It shows up in my list of games but there is no option to install. Support have been no help. Telling me to set up an account and register it.

Thanks DethAdder. I had about 2k of ships under it. That took up a LOT of time.

Thanks Diviator, but I have registered it. I even uninstaled Stardock Central and reinstalled it again. It still will not show. I have emailed support and am waiting for a reply.

Built my first military array in my last game. The result, 144 K. Gigantic, crippling. DA. I would have got 100 K without it. It was not worth all the time and effort, so I don't think I will be doing that again.

I have updated and I cannot see any difference. The auto update on Vista is much better than with XP. I cannot get the flight sim game IL2 Stormovic 1946 to install on Vista.

With winter coming on, I have finally found time to finish a game. 91 K Crippling, gigantic. Put me back into the top 100.

I have Vista 64 bit with 8 GB of ram. The out of memory crashes make the game unplayable. I could only play one round and then had to go back and play it again from the auto save. Very annoying and pointless. Gave up on it sometime ago.

I have the same problem and my video drivers are up to date...according to Vista anyway. I have stopped playing GC2 because it is unplayable. Keep getting "out of memory" messages. Waiting for the new game to be released.
