I have actually seen this before on my brothers computer. Its not a laptop, but with bink files he has the same issue you describe. However the cause of his problem is damage to his video card as a result of a faulty powersuppy. I doubt this is actually that helpful to you unless your laptop has had any physical/shock damage similar to my brothers case. Just thought I'd mention it anyway. ~SDC~

Must admit even moo2 had a nice government system. Though as it is I'm not unhappy. It would be nice however to say as an example, suffer losses in say espionage as you progress through the more decentralized governments. I see an Imperial Government as militarily powerful and controlled... ie Loyality and Military Production. Where as a republic as freer more inclined to build social monuments (social production) and trade more etc It would be nice if the game could reflect s
Now I have this image of a Drengin VW Bettle with tiny little wings and a squashed Drengin inside suffering road rage. I like the idea, its different and will be a nice change from what I'm doing now. 3DMax is what I use to create the actual ship and Photoshop to create skins, then edit the images for use. If you can't get a good image editor try out GIMP, its what I used before I got Photoshop otherwise use paint pro if you can get it. Just in case heres the http://www.gimp.
Remembered how to use the ship encoder after writing out a first draft so I'm ok with that one. Hmm what version number is that Mutil? So far I have version 3.3.3 . As for help with Mutil... Well if you can figure out how to edit books in a library without redoing the entire thing from scratch I'd like to know about it. Basically I want to be able to put new images into and existing book or extract ones already there... though as far as I can tell this is impossible. T
LOL If only... ~SDC~
Surely another explaination is they built it, having full production putting themselves in debt 2757 bc. After all they were still under the 500bc limit. [Message Edited]
Thanks Alex :D finally made 50 games :CONGRAT: Quake I like dat tale, did youz make dat up yourself or sumting? If so you iz got talent mate! ~SDC~
Ok second try to post, since Stardock central ate my first post. Not sure if Dark Rain has finsihed that tool, may have to send him an email to say there is interest and if he still working on it. Wanted to thank you Eradicus without realising it you have renewed my interest in modding just as I was giving up. Started writing some stuff up, came to realise I can't contribute much beyond a reworded version of CariElf's documentation... she did do a great job afterall. Ho
Oh and check out Dark Rain's site for an excellent ship rotator! http://visualta.tauniverse.com/HTML/index.html ~SDC~
Well I'm no expert, but I'll try and help :). I see if I can sit down and write out what I've worked out. I can only draw on what I've done as I'm doing a lengthy ship mod too (which because of the tools is taking too long!). I'll post my own version of a walkthrough here in a couple of days... gives me an incentive to go back for the third time and try and fix on of my ship models. For now I'll just babble on a bit ;). The Ship encoder is fairly easy to use once you get the p
LOL Dark Assassin after reading that post I almost wish I was evil. ~SDC~

Must be low tech fleet to be that cost, for me being an ally with a high diplomacy rating Overlords were 10000 each and excaliburs around 150000 (:notsure: was a while ago) Very hard to buy too many with 60k. ~SDC~
Just thought I might add in the above strat for me is if I choose diplomacy ability. Otherwise I go the harder path of military and socal bonuses and try to out produce them in everything. I use the bonuses to counter a high research program etc. I'll stop babbling now ;) ~SDC~
Not sure I can help but I give money, run your economy tight use most of your income building infrastructure, ships or wahtever the moment calls for... if someone doesn't like you give them money. Otherwise If someone declares war on you find some one (or more) who like you and give them something... anything try and get them to like you more. This can lead them to sending you ships or even join on your side which can be used to destract the one your at war with and this can lead to pea
I'll try and help out answering any questions you have, I'm in the middle of my own ship mod at the moment. There is a ship encoder, look in the thread is titled "New Stuff For You", CariElf was kind enough to put together some docs and such. Needless to say she was right get the asprin ready.... I'd link it but I'm not sure the Html tags didn't work when I tried. [Message Edited]
I personally don't equate bad players to multiplayer games, for me that has too much the airs of superiority. Instead I view these games in a similar light to chess, where the human element and unpredictability mixed with strategy and tactics can be deadly and challenging. However I would like to see it implemented as I find them fun, I loved playing Space Empires 3 and 4 and MOO 2 hotseat and no doubt I'd enjoy playing GalCiv the same way. This would still allow me to enjoy playing th
Hmmm, I've seen this on the odd occasion, usually when I get the invisible ship bug. All I can suggest is the save the game off, quit out of the game, then restart it and reload. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, and I'm not even sure that will work... but hopefully it'll solve the problem. :) ~SDC~ restart it means the game no the computer ;) just thought I'd make that clearer.

I'm a newer member to this empire and can only speak from what I see. As far as I can see Blue cares Cotal, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered.
Your using Stardock Central, if you shut down the program it should go away. ;) ~SDC~
I think at least for the sequals that some multiplayer action isn't too much to ask. I'd love multiplayer so I vote yes.. after all we can all stop playing with ourselves LOL and play with each other. It doesn't worry me if the players replace or play as the major AI's. Theres a lot of life multiplayer and multiplayer game modes can bring to a game... Anyway I would love to see some sort, any sort of multiplayer.... even if for now that just an improved metaverse for this curr
There is a bug to do with load people onto ships, I'm not totally sure but it involves clicking on a ship in orbit without actually selecting it (Click the general area or near the ship until a load button comes up but the ship is not selected), then you can press the load button and the people disappear (not onto the ship so I guess we've spaced them). Give it a few goes and you'll probably get what I'm say. However this bug is annoying wen you need the people as troops LOL . Bit of a bad way t
How many people in the starting colony? too many = not happy. If its not too much a few improvement in pq or morale should fix it up. ~SDC~
Don't worry Blue I'm still in da ditch with you. (ducks from imaginery bullets) Where else can iz talk like sum sorta orky boyz and still call it aussie speak? What we'll take this as a minor set back, ya see she'll be right mate! What we'z do is attach all these empty baked beans cans to the rifles trigga's. Get another can with a little hole in it to drip water in the first and see tha water iz drip'in and bang.... ;) Now it seems to everyone else we've got
