Reply to Size of Download in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

There's nothing wrong with that. As far as I can understand, his problem is that it isn't clear enough that there's more than one package you can download. Personally, I didn't have any trouble with spotting the + button, but to each his own. Perhaps SDC could ask the user if he wants to download the application files only, or al

Reply to Does Stardock know whats going on?? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I'm curious about something- you said it was a 2 CD game, but the download is only 135MB. Unless the small pack is at least 5 times the size of the regular, how is this a 2 CD game? Including Videos, Media and Tutorials the game is just over 1GB large. 135MB is just the game code.

I would ask if my shuttle PC with a A64 3500+ CPU, 2GiB RAM, 10krpm raptor hdd, nvidia 7800gtx gfx card and one 23" 1920x1200 LCD + a 19" 1280x1024 LCD running Windows XP x64 was good enough, but since it may come off as bragging I won't

Reply to WHY IS THE WESTERN WORLD SEETHING WITH POLITE ANGER in Current Events JoeUser Forums

If muslims would just follow those rules I am myself norwegian (our embassy in Damascus is burned, and some of our troops in Afghanistan were recently attacked by a mob armed with grenades and guns), and over here we have quite a debate about freedom of speech. What worries me is not violent muslims burning embassies (though that isn't very pleasant either), but rather the fact that the

Reply to Language versions in Europe in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I am not completely sure, but I believe that when you buy the game from amazon.de (or wherever) you can also download the game via Stardock Central, and that version should be multi-lingual. The version you recieve in retail probably is as well. I'm sure someone can confirm / debunk this...

Reply to User Interface tweaks & Civilization 4 in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

My solution so far has been to name planets things like "Culture" and "Research" which is kind of dumb. And BTW, can you rename a planet or did I miss that option? Same here. I usually give names such as "Upper Right", or "Lower Drengin Border" so that I know where the planet is and what is appropriate to build there <img src="smiles/Tongue.gif" border=0 A

Vin Diesel is a RPGer, is he not? Being a little weird is simply the way to be then isn't it? I too love the Riddick movies, and anyone who have the slightest interest in games should try the Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay game as well. One of the very best FPS games of its year.

Reply to An Insurgency By Any Other Name... in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

to me an Insurgent would be attacking either the Iraqi government and the US troops. When they attack civilians the word "insurgent" seems wrong to me. That's a terrorist. Had they only been attacking infrastructure and troops, then it would make sense.

Any indication when it will be available (that is, what time of day ) Since Stardock is located in the US somewhere and I am in the GMT + 1 timezone it will at least not be in the morning (my morning that is), but am I likely to be able to get it during my day at all, or do I have to wait till saturday? Really looking forward to this </

I have the same problem as Darrian. After having installed WB 4.95[b].008 and restarted a message pops up telling med that WindowBlinds cannot start. It asks me if I have restarted after installing (which i have). I didn't get a noticable longer bootup time like Darrian. I too am running Windows XP x64 Edition.

Reply to Israel is OK, Says Iran in International JoeUser Forums

lol! I for one find it quite disturbing that the president of a country calls for the eradication of a nation and still remain president. Such a remark is as close to a declaration of war as you can get without actually declaring war IMO, and the fact that the president is still sitting makes it more than his personal opinion. I don't like it one bit. Them saying they have no intention of attacking Israel is just saying that unfortunately they cannot e

Reply to Hitler, the new catch phrase in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Indeed I agree. Don't compare someone to Hitler unless you really mean that the person in question ranks with Hitler (having ordered the deaths of some 6 million people and tried to take over the world ranks pretty high on the "bad" list IMO). It is quite a statement, so please don't use it so lightly.

Reply to The 2000 milestone in Iraq in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I have always been rather surprised that the US' war in Iraq has been portraied as a failure by so many. I find that invading a country and holding it for three years with 2000 soldiers dead is pretty well done. One death is one too many, but invading a country and taking so few losses is quite impressive in my eyes.

. I do agree with the guy though. Harry Potter does not match up to more adult-oriented books (HP is of course good, but it certainly is pretty childish. Nothing wrong with adults reading it though).
