Betas up

Beta 0.94(b).003

Edit:

Check out CariElf new journal entry

After about 15 minutes with the new beta, I think the Thalans alone are worth the cost of the expansion. I've never used this adjective to describe a tech tree before, but I have say the new Thalan techs are sexy.

Thalan tech tree is weird.

Thalan's need some initial planetary improvement items. Having 3 Galactic Achievements, and then nothing till I research 3 or 4 tiers into the tree is not cool.

I kinda like it, actually. I wish the Economic and Morale buildings where Global bonuses, rather than just local, though. It is also somewhat disappointing that they have the traditional Economy techs too, actually.

As a side note, I'd really wish they would make these beginning "special" improvements for the races Super Projects (and make the Techs that give them not tradeable) rather than Galactic Achievements. I'd really, really hate to see a game you play a custom race using the Thalan tree... and then the Thalans end up building all 3 of these buildings before you do (or vice versa, actually). Ouch.

I'm new...

My stardock client isn't showing the beta update?

I went to purchased software -> galactic civilizations II
It shows '-----' for available.

TA says installed 0.93[b].002 and dashes in the available column.

Main game is: 1.50.133
DA exp: 1.80g.100

I clicked check for updates but it doesn't find anything?

Stardock version 2.49.510 build 162.

How do i get the next beta? Thanks...

Try:

Tools > Settings, click on "Internet," and then "Refresh XML data."

If that doesn't help, try changing servers from the same menu.

You may also need to restart SDC after switching servers and refreshing.

Thanks that cleared it up.

Refreshed XML, closed/reopened no change.

Switched from US 2 to US 1 and it showed updated version.
