[quote who="Solam" reply="13" id="1925575"]That coupon is only valid until mid november if memory serve. Will it still be good when they actually bill me in say June of 2009?[/quote] I suppose it would be the date of the order that is important not the date of the billing. In the pre-order confirmation mail the $5 discount is listed in any case.
[quote who="LDiCesare" reply="6" id="1925414"]Great! Looking forward to it.[/quote] Here's hoping for a Tectonics map-script for Elemental. ;) Sorry for the double posts but I couldn't get two quotes in one post to work.
[quote]Will Scott see Elemental to success[...] [/quote] He'd better... I bet money on your success (=pre-order). :D
I'll join the club. ;)
[quote who="kryo" reply="4" id="1925503"]Preorders don't appear in the My Games page until something is available for you to download (beta, etc).[/quote] Had the same "problem" when I pre-ordered Demigod. So I second the suggestion that there should be a list of pre-orders in Impulse. Maybe with news about when the next beta phase is going to start. Nevertheless I pre-ordered Elemental today as well. ;)
Pre-ordered today. That should get me into the beta when it starts. ;) edit : Even the consumer report coupon was working... sweet.
Thanks for the link Nathan. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
Slashdot reports that Apple was awarded a patent for the magnifying dock . Is ObjectDock in trouble now? And strange that it took about nine years to award this claim...
[quote who="DiscountNinja" reply="15" id="1890783"]Edit: Ignore me please. However, if you're ever looking to update the Impulse UI, then perhaps a way to indicate where the preferance menu is.[/quote] I'll second that. It took me quite while to figure out where to click.
[quote who="Martok" reply="1" id="1877780"]Cool. Can't wait til November when the new fantasy strategy game is (hopefully) announced! [/quote] I'll second that. Demigod looks nice too, by the way.
For those who want to watch it live with low-bandwidth: http://www.ascii-wm.net/ Of course this does not beat watching a match live in a stadium or having a notebook and a large TV to watch and play at the same time. But it will do nicely when at work.
Being able to download the hole game saved the last weekend for me when the power supply of my desktop died. As luck would have it I'd bought a notebook just the day before. The whole download from Stardock was much faster than me going through the chaos that occupies the room where I know my GalCiv2 CD was (I eventually fount it under some rather large stacks of paper on my desk yesterday). So a big thumbs-up to Stardock. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Congrats.gif" border
I will not apologize for my comments which were accurate, insiteful, and wryly humorous. I am not in the habit of kissing butt to have my views respected. They stand on their own merit. I don't agree to your first but on the other statements. Ah, the irony.
One comment to the social production problem: Right now you have the ability to emphasize one type of production / research. So why not let us deemphasize one type and make this a default for planets with no social project. That way some spending is still going on there (which could be though of as infrastructural upkeep) but both research and military production would profit from that. There may be even other uses for such an ability. For example planets with mainly re
Sorry, double post... nothing to see here. Move along.

I don't know whether this has been reported before but I'll post it anyway. During the Achilles' Heel mission I found due to a coincidence that I could view the Dread Lords ship design screen by pressing the "i" key while having their planet selected. I could even use the "Back to planet" Button to view that too (they were terraforming but had only their capital and a starport). This exploit works for my allies too. I haven't trie
Ok..let me get this straight........to enable the CE i need another serial number emailed to me to put into the CE serial space on the downloads page? Not if you purchased the electronic download via Stardock. In that case you can enter your serial number in the "Serial Number" space (and still get the dow
It's a bug with some Nvidia 6xxx graphic cards. A workaround for this is to enable "Hardware mouse cursor" in the Options menu.

The shortcut for sentry mode is "s". I still have problems getting used to the "Tab" button for skipping over a fleet for later commands this turn. I keep pressing "w" (which is used in various other 4X games like Civ or Alpha Centauri) and watch my ships as they unexpectately go exploring the galaxy.
1. I too am getting the "They blew up my resource mining starbase and now when I try to build a new starbase on that resource, the game acts like it's not there any more" bug. (Did not try to save and re-load to correct issue. Quicksaving and loading did the trick for me. I did however quit the game inbetwe
Since the small bugs and anoyances are in no way game stoppers I'd recomend a purchase right away.
I remember Brad having said in the journal section that the patch includes various AI improvements. So you should get it even if you purchased the retail version.
You mean this isn't a feature? He, I've never double-clicked on an enemy ship but always used the "i" button.
I can confirm that using hardware cursor is a workaround for this problem. But I hope this can be fixed soon anyway. The other cursor is way much nicer looking.
Same problem here. It disappeared while viewing the planetary view after starting my first game. I'll try using the "Hardware Mousecursor" next. Windows XP (German) Nvidia 6800GT (Driver Version: 81.89)
