[quote]I downloaded the 1.2 patch. But I do not see any difference to the game. What does it do?I've gotten the mods to work too, so thanks.[/quote] What was your previous version?

[quote]I downloaded the "Expanded Universe" but am unsure how to put it in the game. [/quote] How this patch look like? Is it the downloadable 1.2 patch? [quote]Also, I downloaded several events and United Planets occurences people have made, but do not know how to put them in the game.[/quote] Depending of your version of Galciv, there should be a mods/data folder where to put theses files [Message Edited]
[quote]A Year? That seems like a long time to play a single game...[/quote] A game year, 12 turns :)
I guess that there is a small problem with month calculation. Since WWII front line commande was available at the beginning of novemeber, it should be considered as the november game
when your treasury is below -500, all spendings stop
Could you explain a bit more your question?
It just encourages generating a map, playing a few turns so you can find out where the yellow stars are and then reloading your game from the start so you can act just like the AI does, It could be shorter: in january 2178, save the game, activate cheat code, reveal the map (too see where AI is), get all t
[quote]Sounds like Stardock is doing an evil microsoft thing by making it expensive to buy copies online but not shipping any retail to stores thus forcing people to buy directly from them. [/quote] Well, Strategy First is responsible for the shipping to store, not Stardock. Stardock can't be blamed for shipping delays. [quote]Oh yeah, you think Strategy First is being bad to you, but screwing customers by making them pay $40+ for a game they can get for $10 or under is very, very b
DaveV, have you played Heroes of Might an Magic 3 or 4? Because it is a fantasy TBS with possibility to buy Angel and Demons. [Message Edited]

[quote]went slowly to pay off my debt.[/quote] Rushbuying is very rarely a good choice. From what I read, you spend lots of money on ships (constructor ...). Not sure if it is a good choice since it prevents you from researching techs. I am under the impression you play with lots of starbases. You could do that IF you are at 100% spending. If not, having a starbase that increase production but at the cost of lesser spending rate is a tradeoff that need to be carefully envis
[quote]Each turn morale went down a couple points, so I'd knock off a few points of taxation and spending to keep it above 50%, next turn the same thing and again I'd lower taxes and lower spending to compensate, turn after turn after turn until after about 20 turns I was at 0 taxes, my moral was crap, and no way out of the hole. [/quote] If you have problem with moral, try to take some colonists off world (the colony ship is a good tool for this), to reduce population on owercrowed words. I
Maybe add a max planet quality number as well as a planet quality number. This would be the planet quality that you could achieve with your current technology on a particular planet (if you terraform all bad squares, etc). Makes it easier to decide if a planet is worth colonising If I understand correctly, a
Does this mean that you have finally found your key ?
I mean the registry of windows, the one accessible with regedit. And data should be found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\stardock and the associated subfolders.
It isn't only the video card that can be a bootleneck. The CPU can be too. For info, gigantic is 28x28 when tiny is 4x4. So you need CPU when the AI have lots of thing to do (due to the number of planets they have or the fleets that are fighting) [Message Edited]
I'm with elmo3, being able to have different requirements for different races would probably make the interest level last a lot longer. But could also bit tricky to correctly
[quote]tell me if there is a way i can look on my hard drive for the key[/quote] Well, If you have already entered the CD key on your computer, you should be able to find it in the registry. BTW, I fear that your system specs are a bit lower for bigger maps. Turns will take lots of time. [Message Edited]

[quote] In stardock central when i try and download the update for the altarian prophecy it won't let me.[/quote] The Altarian Prophecy needs a specific serial key, different of the one associated with standard Galciv. The AP expansion needs to be purcharse directly or via the totalgaming.net subscription. There is a discount for Galciv owner
