Here's from tonight playing with my kids. Worked on the AI today so that next week hopefully we'll have a more aggressive AI. For me, strategy games ARE the AI. Everything else can be X's and O's but the game needs to have a good AI which is why we want to have as much time as possible to perfect it. <
Looks like it thinks you ordered two copies. Like PJ says, just drop an email to [email protected] and they'll fix you up.
I can. You have to use the same email address with Stardock.net as you did when you ordered it. You are using two email addresses. The one you ordered with is this one [email protected]

Okay guys, we're heading out for the evening. We won't be around too much over the holidays as Stardock is closed until Tuesday. We will read posts when we get back and probably some of us will check out things here. But there won't be any new updates to the game until we get back. Have a happy Easter!

New build now up. See if that works.
Yea, the multimedia is in a seperate module.
The new beta is now up.
We are working on a couple more builds for tonight to put up based on initial feedback and our own experiences. Here are the things we've found already: 1) Playing as certain races can cause crashes. 2) If you have DirectX 9 but not DirectX 9c, the game will crash on start-up (you WILL need DirectX 9C installed, but we need to provide a dialog to tell you that). 3) Ships not showing up in the start port thingy to launch (i.e. you build a ship, you can't see whe
I'd bet it'll be later than that. I'm going to McDonalds now.

Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords Beta 1 Notes. Introduction The goal for this first beta is largely compatibility. Galactic Civilizations II has a very new 3D engine that takes advantage of the latest features in 3D hardware. While we have attempted to test it on a wide range of video hardware, there will be video cards that it won't work on. In addition, we are looking for general performance feedback. For most people, Galactic Civiliza

's not a game yet, it's more of an engine test.
We took a poll of 866 potential Galactic Civilizations II buyers on which feature they most wanted in Galactic Civilizations II. The results were: Ship Design: 38% Fleet Battles: 21% Better Colony Management: 15% Multplayer: 12% 3D Engine: 8% Space Terrain: 7% So we looked at these things when deciding what features to put into Galactic Civilizations II and looked at the cost of developing them. On a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being most expensive

At the top of the forums there is a new tab called "Beta Reports". Stardock.net forums are a little bit different from your typical quickie-BBS forums you see on most sites. The top-most forum contains all the newest info from each sub-forum. So if you want to get into a specific forum, you can click on a particular sub-topic and discuss just that. For making beta reports, make sure your post goes into the category:GalCiv II discussion with the topic: Beta Reports.
