[quote] If you try to get money from a cash poor civ during trading, you get pop-ups after the trade window is closed that claims that the player doesn't have enough money for the trade. So, two issues: the pop-up doesn't show up where you can see it while your are trading, and the information on the pop-up is backwards. [/quote] Yup this is there for me too. Well spotted!!

Reply to Spin Control Centre Question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Well in a way it does By improving the 10 ships by a huge amount your entire empire looks stronger in the eyes of the AI's, thus stopping them from being outwardly hostile towards you. Many players use 'Paper Tigers' with the SCC as well so they dont get bogged down with hugely expensive ships sitting in orbit doing nothing. By 'Paper Tiger' i mean a cargo hull with only 1 point of structu

Reply to Races Trade Screen in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Create a separate image 393x256 of your race image and place in the same location as your race portrait then open the customracexml with a text editor and change the line (DefaultTradePortrait) to point to the new image you created. change the name in the next two entries to the same as this one and it should work ok for you. There may be an easier way but this i know works

Reply to Forced to trade techs? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I believe you would be one of the very few that would be willing to give away higher value techs and possibly let the AI's catch up with you. Please don't forget that with getting three techs from each player the AI's are also getting a huge bump up as well. Most players would only give their lowest techs and i am guessing that is why you do not get to choose. Personally i think the automated way is by far the best way of doing it and keeps it fair on all sides.

Reply to Why can't I build an Economic Capital? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

As it has been stated time and time again you should always finish your current game before you update to the latest patch. It is a known thing for some saved games to stop working correctly when played on a later patch for no apparent reason. Try starting a new game under the latest patch and see if you can build your Eco Cap then.

Missing graphics & poor thumbnail quality 1.7d[b] in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I have sent in an email including screenshots of a bug found in the latest 1.7d beta. To outline the issue: - Selecting a pre-designed template and then using it in the ship design window comes up with a lot of blank icons. Thumbnail of said ship once built is such a poor quality that it is near impossible to see what ship you are looking at. As i said all files pertaining to this 'bug' have been emailed to the bugs address including screenshots, the customra

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: v1.7 goes into beta in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

The report email for crashes etc is [email protected] As from the thread by Cari_Elf please include what you were doing at the time and the 'debug.err' report from the gcii folder. Screenshots and even a previous saved game (if it is within a few turns of the crash) can be zipped up and sent too. Without these reports it makes things very difficult for the designers to iron out all the bugs and errors from the betas. Simply posting that the game crashes all the time is not going
