Three areas for AI improvement in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Sorry if this has been discussed a dozen times already but there are three areas I hope will be improved in the new AI. First; it was easy to fool the original AI into not attacking by building a large "paper" Navy of ships that were really useless. I haven't played GC II enough to tell if this is still a viable ruse. Not sure how to fix this other than adjusting how the AI calculates if a player really has a Navy that is a threat or not. Second; the AI had a tendency

Just got this again. Same symptoms and I'm sending the .err file now.

Question on invasions in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

OK, had my first invasion last night. I was on the receiving end. I had a significant troop advantage (~5:1) but what looked like a tech disadvantage (~1:2). No attack or defense advantages either way. Result: *almost* all enemy troops killed, but all ours were killed so we lost the planet. So the question is what goes into the tech advantage number? I hope it is not just a sum of all techs including those related to farming, diplomacy, etc and only focuses instead on comparing t

Not sure if this is a bug or just part of the work in progress: "String not Found" text in a window right after I lost a plnet to an invasion. I have the .err file if you want it.

Just sent you my latest .err file from this morning in case it helps with the problem.

Correct, the screen wasn't completely unresponsive, just that none of the buttons mentioned above worked so I couldn't get rid of it. I just pre-ordered the other day but it did not happen the couple of times I went to the design screen using the build just prior to this one. I might still have the .err file from the game where the screen problem happened. Not sure if it has been overwritten already or not. How ca

Thanks Cari, and yes mavx21 I know that but thought it would be good for folks who buy the boxed version to know what they got out of the box.

I was able to remove everything from the design after realizing the screen was hung (i.e. after pressing the Save button with no result) but that did not free up the screen. Don't recall rotating the ship while the screen was hung. Pressing the Clear, Save, and Done buttons did cause them to be highlighted but none of them did anything. I also pressed the Turn button and it appeared to advance the turn but I couldn't really tell with the design screen covering the map.

Version number in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Can you please put the version number on the GC II startup screen?

The GNN quarterly report thinks my race is human even though it isn't.

Reply to Shipyard bug in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I had this same problem just now except I did have weapons. After designing a new ship I was unable to get off the design screen. Neither Clear, Save, or Done worked. Couldn't hit Esc to bring up the game menu either. Had to reboot my computer. When I did and restarted my game the design screen worked again.

Great job guys! I noticed that the GNN quarterly reports don't recognize that I changed my rulers name from the default.

A little fuzzy on this one as I forgot to write it down at the time: I believe a GNN quarterly report came up. It had a discussion about building freighters for trade routes. The sentence at the bottom of the screen should have been continued further down but the scroll bar on the right did not work.

Not sure if this is a bug or not: I got the screen indicating a planet improvement had been completed. Clicked on the Go to Planet button. While on the planet screen I clicked on the Build Ship button. Instead of going to that screen it puts the screen back up about having completed the planet improvement.

Reply to Moving GC II in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

OK, the official answer from Stardock tech support in case anyone other than me cares is: "Right-CLick on the program in Stardock Central and select "Uninstall". Then reboot and reinstall it." Note: I asked them how to move it on my current computer but the same idea should apply to moving it to another computer.

Thanks. Reading everything I can find here now.

Reply to Moving GC II in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks. I'll try the latter. Edit - Last time I looked there was no install button after my first install. Do I have to uninstall via Stardock first?

Reply to Research question in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Yup. I'm just not sure if the fact that they have to research New Propulsion when they already know Ion Drive is a bug or not.

Reply to Beta 4: BUG REPORTS HERE in Ideas Stardock Forums

Thanks. So do I have to uninstall the beta and then reinstall where I want it or am I stuck with it in Program Files now?

Research question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Playing as the Thalans. They start knowing Ion Drive but not New Propulsion Techniques which must come before it. Is that correct? Thanks.

Moving GC II in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

With any luck I'll be getting a new computer before the end of the year. How do I move the beta to my new computer? Thanks.

Reply to Beta 4 docs in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Never mind. I did the download already and it looks like there are no docs yet.

Reply to Beta 4: BUG REPORTS HERE in Ideas Stardock Forums

Beta Install issue: I was not given any choice as to where the beta download was installed. It is not acceptable for you to pick the place to put software on my computer. Please provide an install screen where people can decide where to put installs and updates. Thanks.
