Oh disregard me. Wanted to point out the 2gb limit for windows being the issue not low end machines. If you guys want it takes me about 15-20 minutes to load/save a gigantic galaxy the first time (secondary saves are faster). Although that might just be perceptions, I have really large load times if that might help with something, let me know what to look for.
Basically each item for a ship has 2 parts, the base size and the "scaled" size. The base size is the same all the time. Some things only have a base size. Life support maybe? Scaled Size is "kinda" like a percentage of the overall size of the ship. These things tend to not benefit from being made smaller all to much.
I changed the format from png to jpg Except in order for us to see it you need to post it on the web. Those pictures are on your computer.
Doesn't that just hurt CodeCritter? You spend all that time coding a beutiful 3D rendered scene, and we go and change it all to icons the comedore can display. On the other hand, your game is so good and adicting that we'd rather play it with simple pictures than not at all. Thanks for the great game! Hehe, I have fleet battles on all t
Zooming out enough to have icons instead of the 3d models helps tons also.
I tend to play gigantic galaxies and have a couple problems overall. First problem is having to select each of the improvements. It'd be nice to have a set of scripts based on planet size that allow me to not have to double click each improvement. If there is a bonus tile I can still change what is built somewhere but an initial build selection would be nice. Besides that, which I don't think is possible at this point in time, is something about factories. New pl
So to put it into perspective.... I have never played a game with this many bugs in my life. I'm just saying that 396 days of bug posts and 37 pages speaks volumes about a company's ability to produce a good product before it hits the shelves. Yes you have. In the paragraph before you mentioned Everquest. You know, the game that put out
Hmm this might explain the odd crash I keep having. Its seemingly random, but typically happens only on Gigantic Abundant/Abundant. And before that crash, it would crash due to running out of Vmem.
I would prefer a SP expansion, but I'd buy a MP expansion also.
I had commented on Quarter To Three that no one was taking points off of Oblivion for not having multiplayer -- an RPG after all. Bruce's response to that was that RPG players who want multiplayer have lots of choices. I dare him to name a good one that isn't Neverwinter Nights, and isn't a MMORPG.<b
Don't forget that minituration doesn't apply equally to all things. That is what you are seeing for the increase in size typically.
People complaining about the Yor must not have my experience - they're almost always one of the first groups to be destroyed. One I saw this in the first few games (as custom race) I started playing as them. I love being at a disadvantage like that. Unless I get lucky I almost always end
Actually the races do all act differently. Play with say 4 races at a time with it on random. You play the same each time and watch how the game unfolds differently. Play the campiagn also, it kinda highlights some of the things. Also keep track of the alignments of the other races when you start noticing people dieing and races falling. One game I played had a single good race. It was easy as pie for me to convince
I like morale. Lets me tax more, and have higher populations. I also love stock exchanges. Can't wait for Advanced Farming to be different then intense farming so I can get the build numbers right for Farms to stock exchanges. 1 to 3 has been working well for me so far. My last game crashed so I didn't get a chance to see if worked out in end game, but with abundant everything on gigantic I had 1/3ish of the map (1/4
Has the planet been fully terraformed?
despite the ayes having more numbers. If the ayes can't agree then they don't get what they want. Why should the galaxy go with the 3 that all want something different when there is a large group that does agree on what they want? I see it as picking an option on a scale, as opp
Well due to the pointer notation I'm pretty sure its not C# ( pCiv->lMoney
I'd rather have the double population growth early game then the ecomonic bonus helping later on. However I will have to try with the econ bonus. Maybe it will let me lower the tax rate and still have pos income with a 100% approval more often. (Last few games I ran at 100% the whole game) Oh yeah I try to keep spending at 100% always.
I've always been picking Populists for the moral. My strat has been revolving around high moral to boost taxes and keep the growth rate high. Love having 50%+ at 79 tax rate or 100% (growth bonuses now) at like 39%
This is why I say there should be two expansion packs 1) An expansion pack that gives all the expansion content 2) An expansion pack that gives all the expansion content+ adds multiplayer functionality, for $10 more. See which one sells more... That won't work.
In the plantary view, when there is no social project I get a Debug Message: Version v1.1 BETA-1 last updated on: Fri Mar 24 19:54:46 2006 Debug Message: Could not find a TGN Serial No. Debug Message: *********DXDiag info follows.********* System Info Time: 3/24/2006, 21:53:07 DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Machine Name: RANGORIC Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Servic
First off I use the "No Hull" Mod because I like making my ships look exactly how I like So each game I set up a few hulls that I will upgrade (And rename) to get the actual ships I use. Now as my designs get upgraded over time I don't change the name, I don't build out of date designs so it gets rid of the clutter. Also I don't keep the older/initial designs because sin
Thats not complaining, its constructive critisism In other news, yes I'd love for the mini-map info to be on the "Strategic" map. Even if just empty circles represent stars/planets and then the appropriate icons for the other things you can see on the minimap. I'd also like the boarders to show up on it in unexplored space but thats not a biggie.<br
