Reply to Computer Games Magazine in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Agreed, RoPa. All through the 90's especially they were a "must-read" when it came to PC games. Alongside dwindling PC game shelf space in shops like Gamestop/EB Games, many PC game-centeric magazines will also dwindle and fade. Print media, in general, is on a decline. I know...I work in a weekly regional newspaper. It gets a little harder every year to find new advertisers and to keep circulation at a profitable level. This generation is all about the internet and the blog

Reply to 3 Things You Would Like Added Since DA Is Released in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I can only drum up one request right now: 1) A bit more ability to customize player-made races. Specifically, being able to REMOVE points instead of always having to add. I would like to make a custom race that, say, is an industrial powerhouse but suffers a penalty in research.

I would guess that it involves better texture compression techniques which makes the files smaller and more "optimized".

Reply to Need to have minimum military ? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I generally find myself playing like dthif1980 above: Go for the trade right away, build-up/trade research, and generally play nice. Military is nearly non-existent. However, at a certain point - say, about a year in game time - I beeline the Influence techs and then start converting planets of the strongest military faction with starbases. While thats going on, I go for the diplomatic branches of research. After a point, all races will look at you with that "deer in the headlights"

Hey, 1.2 has been out for a day now...where's the GalTrek mod!!

Reply to GalTrek™: The Kronos and The Omen in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Agreed. I voted to have all these ships in "mod" form but that's just a personal preference. I can just as easily swing the "manual" method as well.

Dude, I have GOT to have all of these. Hurry up 1.2!

Can't say I blame Stardock. That area of the world is software piracy Mecca. (Not a sweeping generalization of the good people there, don't misunderstand)

Hey, glad you got it to work bman. Sometimes there seems to be a "time lag" from the time you submit the post to when it actually shows up. For me it's generally about a minute or two.

Reply to How do I build starbase modules? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

You may want to check your game options and see if "prompt starbase upgrade" (something like that) is checked. If it is, then a window should pop up asking if you wish to upgrade the 'base as soon as the constructor arrives. Also, check the manual out...it should tell you all the ins-and-outs.

Ditto here...about the playlist problem and the great piece of work.

Reply to Custom Playists?? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

*bump* I am also wondering about this as well? Is it in there?

Reply to Custom Music? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

As I stated in the "Beautiful Music" thread, the in-game music is truly top notch. However, I noticed in the manual that there is supposed to be an option in the "audio" section where you can select a custom music playlist. It says "enable this to play whatever music is in your music folder" but the option does not appear on screen. Do I have to place my custom music inside the default GC2 music folder for this option to show? (I'm at work...otherwise I'd try it.) <img

Reply to Brilliant Music in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Hello all. I have had Galactic Civilizations since 2004 and have never, ever felt the need to post. But I simply must agree with Dano...the music is extremely well done. In the days leading up to the release of GC2, I took the time to rip and edit some of my own personal favorite sci-fi soundtrack bits (Star Wars, Star Trek...the usual suspects) for use in my custom music selection. However, I have yet to even consider using them in-game because the GC2 music is such a....well for
