Reply to Rethinking my position on the election in Republican PolMach Forums

If voluntarily giving to those less fortunate is the christian thing to do then anyoneone who calls themself a christian (I'm roman catholic) should be in favour of a system of wealth redistribution that is not communist in its approach to this - i.e. if you work hard and earn a lot of money, then you get to feel the benefit of that, which is fair. Which was what I was actually talking about...

I am a person who lives in a country with universal healthcare. It works. Period. In the last 5 years, every member of my immediate family has had medical treatment including my grandmother who had to have a 3 hour long operation (her fourth so far) that would have bankrupted us all if we didn't have universal healthcare. I pay about 10% (a very jewish/christian/muslim ethic by the way) of my earnings every month in taxes to enjoy this service. Sure, in the short term I have

Reply to Why doesn't this work? All the code looks right to me in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I checked that out and it still didn't work - I was getting all the planet images for race 2 for some strange reason and the names were showing up like they would for a custom race... Anyway, I started again the race and planet info from scratch and went through each race in order and their planets likewise, loading the game to test each one as it was finished and now they all work fine.... I don't really get it, but hey, if it works...

Why doesn't this work? All the code looks right to me in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Ok... I'm going through the races, slowly and one at a time... editing them so that I will eventually have some form of a star trek mod. Right now, I'm adding the planet images and star systems to each race. I edited Races 0, 1, 2 and no problem. Then I jumped to race 7, leaving the ones in between in tact and then used the same method I used to edit the others - which worked and still work fine. I have even tried, thinking that perhaps due to some bizzare improbability law

I'm not a U.S. citizen and nor am I connected with the U.S. in any way apart from having spent long periods of time visiting the country - great times with great people from all colours of the political spectrum. One of the reasons for my first visit was that I realised I was what you might call an 'America basher'. Upon this realiSation, I decided that instead of whining about how the U.S. does this and the U.S. does that, I would go and see this 'demon' in the flesh. Result? I found

Reply to Official Multiplayer Discussion Thread in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm an avid multiplayer fan but I seldom buy a game that doesn't have a single player mode because I like both. The thing with this game is that the AI has already been developed, there isn't going to be another expansion pack like DA or TA and so the development of MP capability CANNOT take away from all the things that we don't want it to because.... THEY'RE ALREADY THERE! It was pointed out above that more human players=lower AI effectivene

Reply to Not a blog person in Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

That's not strictly true, Shamgar. How many times have you read/heard/seen reports alog the lines of 'kid mimics video game and does very bad thing'? - which is inevitabley followed by some oprah style 'are video games destroying our youth?' nonsense debate with 'desperate mom/brother/sister' and 'obnoxious kid' - basically porting the 'issue' of computer games into the drug/drink problem debate slot. Although, it's true, I don't think there is a DIRECT comparison between drugs

Reply to Federation and Empire in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, I was looking the 'need an artist' post - all looks wonderful BTW... [e classic]:congrat:[/e] A couple of questions/modest suggestions about this mod: Will the Borg be playable or will they take the place of the Dread Lords? Will the Jagged Knife be the Maquis or some other rebel group? Can't wait for this to be finished - I'm already enjoying thouroughly the ship styles you guys posted

Reply to What would you pay good money for in an expansion? (The unofficial inquiry) in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Most of this has probably already been mentioned, if so then take it as an 'I second that motion' Also, as I hear there won't be another expansion, I suppose these would be suggestions for GalCiv3... 1.) Two or three new races done in the same way as the Krynn (ship styles, logos, etc) 2.) Three or four new political parties 3.) One or two new 'Generic' tech-trees possibilities could be 'Generic warrior race' or 'Generic diplomatic race' or tech

Tweaking expansion through range? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I want to limit the range of colony ships so that colonization happens mostly within each empire's borders - it really irritates me in all games of this type that the AI always seems to want to colonize the furthest away areas, so, my question is: How do I do this and what other factors in the game (space stations, etc) would have to modified to get the desired effect?
