Reply to Couple of issues in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

1.) I beleive the code is checking to see if your drivers have been updated since last year, just to make sure people remember that this may effect gameplay. You should be fine if it's running OK. 2.) I dont beleive the game will expire, but if you play a metaverse game you'll probably want to make sure the serial number is correct. Glad youre enjoying the game! Let us know if you have any other issues. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Cool.gif" border=0 AL

Reply to Brilliant Music in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Just got an email from Mason Fisher (the composer of the music) and was sure to pass on the praise the players are giving the music (of which I agree...the music he did was fantastic). Thanks Dano!

Reply to Preordered from ebgames.com in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Sounds like the boxes only got to the warehouse yesterday, so they were running a bit behind. Brad will jump online and explain more as we learn the deatails. It's just a day behind, but all the retailer need to cover their butts. If you order today you can still get the collectors edition from us (we're shipping all CE boxes until we run out, which is coming up suprisingly fast), but you can also wait and get it a bit cheaper from EB. Hope this helps!

Reply to Race hulls after bonus pack in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

The bonus pack only added 3 new hulls...a large hull for Human, Yor, and Altarian styles. Making entirely new styles would be a HUGE undertaking. A single hull can take 8 - 20 hours to make, and with each style having 15 hulls and multiple peices of jewelry, you can see how this would take time Perhaps we'll make 1 new style for an expansion, but otherwise you'll be at the mercy of modders

Hmm, can you send a saved game where this is reproducable (to [email protected]) and we'll try to fix it Thanks nitey!

Reply to how can i see the influence points in number in a sector in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

In GC1 there was this button, but we felt the new on-map borders did a better job conveying the info than boring old numbers We can always add this for real number-crunchers in an update

Reply to Transport style hull only has 1 hp? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

That's the weak-point of the cargo hull...you can put lots of stuff on there, but it's very easy to shoot down. Group it in a fleet for better protection

Reply to Ship building WAY too time consuming in Strategies Stardock Forums

Hehe It's funny how some players LOVE this feature, and others really dont care for it. I personally LOVE spending 20 minutes and perfecting a design, but to each their own We are working on a list of feature to get in for the next few updaates, and I think this feature will make it in (the "copy design" feature), though you can save your designs under a different name, which kinda has the same

Reply to Approval, who cares? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Unhappier people are more likely to rebel...but other than that, you can tax to the moon and not worry about it (besides your own guilt, of course)

Reply to 2 Feature Requests: Eliminating Minor Races and Modifying Core Ships in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Noted and on our lists for future updates Thanks for the feedback!

Reply to Starbases on Resources in Game Talk Stardock Forums

No, that circle shows you the range of the modules effectiveness (ex. Ship Attack Assist, Production Assist). Resources are still a global ability bonus, and wont specifically show up in the planet details screens.

Reply to Delayed Order.. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Yes, boxed orders place to stardock will be fufilled with the Collectors edition (as long as supplies last), which, if the orders keep up, may only be through the end of the day (or , however you want to look at that.) That's weird about the Walmart order...has anyone else had this problem with their preord

Reply to Campaign - First Scenario Compare notes in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Keep in mind that the first few scerios are more about easing new players into the gameplay as they are about presenting a formitable challenge. In a few missions your victories won't feel so empty

Reply to Core ships better than what I can build in the beginning? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Yes, the starting core designs are a bit unique, which is why players can't technicially upgrade the designs, but later in the game you'll be able to trump the core designs with your own Also, the core designs should be a bit more expensive than your custom ones, so there is that penalty for their extra power.

Reply to Crash from ship builder in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

There seem to be a few common issues when trying to build a ship after pressing the GoTo button from the GNN. We'll get them resolved ASAP. Thanks for your paticence.

Reply to Help getting colony ship to selected planet! in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

To add to LordKR, if you download the tutorials there is a lenghty movie on this process, as well one as walking you through your first turn and various other topics that will help you enjoy the game more

Reply to Have a view in the Shipyard or the Tech Tree to show required tech for future ships in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

LordKiRon: You were part of the beta...if you found it that annoying you should have spoken up on the issue BEFORE we went feature complete Crashmstr: Were trying to come up with a solution to knowing what techs are needed for what ships...I guess most of the team was so busy making their own designs that the core ships were less important. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Sa

Reply to First Issues/Questions... in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

1. You can get details on stacked individual ships by clicking the "i" button in the context area after selecting the ship. There is a problem finding info on individual ships in stacked fleets, however. It's on our list, however 2. If you can get a saved game that this is reproducable on, that'd be GREAT. I've never seen this before, but I had another player that couldn't group 2 transports in

Reply to Feature Ideas/requests in Ideas Stardock Forums

Lord KiRon: It's not that we dont like ideas, it's that they become difficult to balance. By having ship bonuses on a movable object, it becomes open to LOADS of cheese (anyone that remembers the cultural terror star exploit from GC1 can attest to this). Josh: Definatly a cool idea, and one we're going to try to work into an expansion pack, but it'll probably only work when grouped into a fleet to cut down on the exploitation. Otherwise you can get some crazy overlap going on <im

Reply to I have lots of questions in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Hey fosex, I'm going to number your questions so make this easier 1. (2 transports in a fleet): This should work. Is anyone else having a problem with this? Make sure you have over 10 logistic points (even though I know you said you had them, but just triple checking). 2. (Attack option while trading): I beleive the attack option will only appear if the race your trading wit

Reply to Can you please post soft copy of the tech tree or enable full screen tech tree view? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

We'll need some time to get some PDFs up, but in the meentime here're some lo quality JPGs of the tech-tree (and I appolgize for the lossy-ness) page1: http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/4757/techtreepage1small1ju.jpg page2: http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/3558/techtreepage2small6tz.jpg Oh, and use that "More" button on that screen, along with the filter buttons in the lower right corner, to make the tree easier to navigate.

Reply to Few more feature requests in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

All added to our suggestion list. #5 shouldn't be hard, and will hopefully make it into the next update. 1 and 2 will hopefully be moot when the "mods" folders get fully implemented.

Reply to Ship building bug? in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Ship Build Bug: Yes, the ship building bug (disappearing jewelry) has been tracked down and is being fixed as we speak. It will be available in the next update. Tutorials and Music: There are 3 other modules you need to download to get the full game-Movies, Tutorials, and Multimedia(sound, music, and various animations). You can find these in SDCentral by pressing the + button next to the "Galciv2" entry. When the otehr items appear, just doubleclick them to queue them up to download.

Reply to tech tree in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Yes, I beleive all upgrade orders are being fufilled with the Collectors Edition of the box. You can upgrade here (ATM this won't work for people that used tokens): https://www.galciv2.com/upgrade.aspx

Reply to Viewing combat in cinematic mode in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Also, make sure you're organizing your ships into fleets before you fight...the one-on-one fleet battles are nothing compared to the big fleet battles with multiple ships.
