Hi, I wanted to make a trully hard scenario that would challenge people. Heres whats in this scenario: (This is no ordinary scenario as there are 12 races in it) 1. There are three teams, Good, Evil and neutral 2. There are 12 Races in this scenario, basically EVERY major race!! 3. You must upload the screen file to your mods/screens folder 4. Everyone is in a team but you.. 5. ALL teams start with a "Wary" attitude toward you. 6. Th

Hi, thanks for the help, I made the 12 race mod, it IS possible but I had to modify one of the screen files with DesktopX free version (I actually bought it, but my subscription ran out along time ago so Im useing the free version JIK) A widget it a object with a specific function, like a MP3 player, A clock etc.. Its a feature of Desktopx. On the weapon and Shield trees, I just want a tech tree layout, as I dont agree with the current shield costs, and wanna do a overhaul

Hi, I have some modding questions.. 1. Is there a full tech tree somewere? (other then "in game") specifically, the weapon and shield trees? 2. How high can AI priority be set for a tech? 3. Anyone know of a good free .BIK program? 4. What is the "average" poly count for SD ships? Or what would be considerd a "acceptable" poly count? 5. Generaly if you see a "string not found" error, what would that generally mean (IE locating, ie

I've added a 'Delta' formation of hardpoints so you can easily make ships that look like six fighters Cool Thanks!! ST

This one game I was playing, the Iconian built a influence starbase outside of my homeworld, I had a big population and had kinda neglected moral, and they kept upgradeing it so it was haveing a bad effect on me, I saw they wernt that powerful, and they were right beside me, so I thought what the hell, Ill eat there planets, I attacked and destroyed the starbase, and they immediaty surrenderd (like 15+ planets) to the Torians (the most powerful race in this peticular game) I had been protected f

I hope they dont implement boarders cause Im a worse abuser of building influence and military starbases in other peoples areas then they are to me, I think its a cool tactic to try to demoralize the enemy with influence and crank up a military advantage before attacking. ST

Ok, Ive read this whole post, interesting conversation However there are a few things that Id like to add, and a few things that are being overlooked IMO. I agree that once you get over the "hump" it can be a bummer, but... One of the main things about the game is its modability, the game is still relitivly new, and SD is still cranking out betas and upgrades to perfect th

Yeah, I think that resources are THE most important thing in the game (other then stratagy of course) afterall they grant +49% to whatever field there in, and many a time when my 50 Billion population killed my moral, a moral resource (or 3) was the solution, I think perhaps if a race gains say 2 resources, then they should but a priority in starbase techs to max out there starbases att/def, also, they should ALWAYS at least max the bonus from it with constructors. My 2 cents anyway

You can trade for a minning starbase for around 950,000 BC (or there abouts) So basically, you cant trade for them lol, but then again, there game turning things, so it should be nah impossible. I agree, there should be a "get your ships/starbases out of my territory" command (wasnt there one in galciv1? Or am I confusing it with a different game?) Not sure why they would build economy starbases, they always build influence ones in my area, I love it cause it gives me a exc

Hands down the best, funest, and most useful mod out to date I love the cluster hardpoints, now I can build a ship called "The Swarm" That is 10 mini fighters ST

I still have the jewlery vanishing bug when upgrading ships. In the Change Log thread for Beta 1, I mentioned the apparent loss of building a Political Capital (i.e., prior to beta 1, when you researched Democracy, you could build a Political Capital -- after beta 1, you couldn't). There's no mention of it being restored in the Beta 2 Change Log. Assuming it's n

I tried that but found 1 listings of Metaverse\ships and changed both. That broke the *.exe file so I copied the backup in place. Which one did you fix? I found 2 instances of Metaverse\ships and made them both \ships and my exe worked fine and saves to correct folder, but when I added the terran mod, it showed the correctly built ships,

Hi, I have figured out how to play with all the main races WITHOUT useing a scenerio, simply choose them from the main screen I released a MOD that allows you to play with the 12 major races, (the 10 main, plus custum, plus Dreadlords, all in one game) (it has two files, a scenario file and a screen file) You can find it Here: https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=348&AID=119490#922505 Now I have

I updated first post, I modified the Foreign Treaties screen so now it shows ALL the races in it Please redownload it if you already grabed it from my site

Can we use DesktopX to make our own UIs with 1.2 beta 2? Or is that a 1.2 full addition?

http://www.shadowtek.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=2131 Sorry, wrong thread. Great idea, going to be bloody hard tho The Game or the scenario? I already made the scenario <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile

A way to save the current map so you can load it latter in a new game

If we are useing SD Central (I have 1.2 beta 1) do we still need to download any CE files, or the enable CE file? Or is all that already added to SD Central downloads? ST

Ok, my little experiment didnt fix it, though my ships do save to the correct folder, any added ship mods dont upgrade, I added the terran ship mod, and though the ships show correctly in the view window, when you hit update, it removes all the jewlery, but any ship I make works, hmm.. I'll keep looking to see if I can figure it out (to help out SD ) ST

I uploaded a scenario that pending aproval, its on my site in the meantime. this is a scenario I simply call Dreadlords, heres what it does: 1. You are the custum race 2. Your opponents are ALL of the other Races, all 10 of them 3. ALSO The Dreadlords are in the game. 4. Thats 12 major races total!! All main races (10) Dreadlords (1) plus you (1) 5. I edited the Foreign Treaties screen as the default would only show 10 races, so now it shows

It saves ships to wrong folder, I fixed it on my exe, but yeah, Stardock said they would fix it ST

Colony Ship MK I, Colony Ship MK II, Constructor MK I, Constructor MK II etc...

Some additional observations. I noticed that all my ship designs are now saving into the Metaverse/ships folder instead of the usual one. (I am not playing a metaverse game, just a normal one) Your right, I bet thats whats wrong. (I dont play MV games either, I dont even know how to lol) BRB, Ill tell you if thats the problem..

Cool, Handy Thanks

I wonder could we get the number of minor races to be selectable, like with planets and stars, say ocassional, abundant etc. Great Idea ST
