I bought Gal Civ D. E. and updated it with Stardock Central (just checked it again for new updates; were none). In the initial selection screens it still shows the %% when you click on the types of government (and I've seen it elsewhere in the game during play I'm pretty sure). Also, I have been playing the Gal Civ not Gal Civ A. P. I think the planets weren't spinning because the PQ wasn't high enough, when you get it up to 15 (I think it is) they start spinning. That's cool... <br

I noticed some of the planets don't spin. Is this because the PQ isn't high enough?
Is it possible to play the game in 1280 x 1024 for example?
Here are some more of what could be glitches: 1. When your first freightor is destroyed and you get the mini-movie there is no audio. 2. When you click on a star base and get the Ship Data Window it doesn't display any image for the star base, it just displays stars. 3. Sometimes, if the name of the Empire is too long, in some of the windows it will block out some of the information that is displayed below it. The info cannot be accessed as the Empire name goes over on
I noticed a couple of things that, while not game crashing bugs, are errors (I think): 1. Anywhere a text window describes a stat with a % it adds a %. For example 20% will read 20%%. Not sure if this is intentional but it seems redundant. 2. If Animate Ship Data Win is set to "on" ships in the Ship Data Win are still not animated. Would be cool to see them be animated (I like the animated planets and aliens a lot). Hope this helps! If not please excuse the "Professor"
OK. I see where the correct century is updated in the current manual etc. I guess I was a little uptight yesterday because of the problems I was have with the key codes (which I realize now is strategy first's problem not these guys). Right now I'm updating my game and looking forward to learning how to play. I can see that this company really cares about there games... That's cool. Thanks.
Also, the text is case sensitive. It sees a A as different from an a.
Found a solution on the strategy first site. It says the key codes were switched and that the dashes are necessary. Hope it's a fun game!
OK so I went and checked out support at strategy first and they have a posting that says that the key codes were switched. That is the one for Gal Civ is to be used for Alterian Prophecy and vice versa. Also it says that there are no spaces but that the dashes are necessary...
These guys need to maybe use an "editor" and maybe they need to try and install there product once before they ship it to the stores; the installer won't accept the key codes on the back of the manual! What a laugh riot!
Hmmm, maybe time travel is part of the game; of course I wouldn't know because the key codes are completely impossible to decipher how to use them!
"Humans by the 23rd century..." (and) "The year is 2178..." Did I miss something here, like a century?
PS: When I say there is no AP field I mean that when you go to install this game it just gives you a text box and asks for the key code and that's it. So, I am curious when you make a distinction about the AP field. What's up with that? I think these guys made a huge mistake somewhere in production. When you have a game that costs $29.99 and it can't be installed you're going to have a lot of unhappy kids come X-mas morn (or at anytime). I mean if I don't get a solution soon I will return it to
I had the same problem... And, by the way there is no "AP" field it looks like this: GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS Key Code: DN-******-AP1-********** (note: the reason I included the DN & AP1 is that they were the same on the other copy I bought and exchanged. I never had a problem with a key code before on any other companies game! I mean; I tried substituting the zeroes for o's and the ones for i's and still no dice. I tried inserting spaces for dashes, no dashes, no spaces
Hi, I just bought the Galactic Civ deluxe edition and the key code just does not work. When you enter it it gives a help message saying that zeroes and o's might be confused or that ones and i's might be confused, but let me tell you I tried switching these around and no dice! Any help on this? Here's what the key code looks like: GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS Key Code: DN - ****** - AP1 - ********** (note: I bought another copy for Electronic Boutique and they exchanged it.
