Reply to Great game intros of all time in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Ok, I don't post a lot, but had to get in on this. All time Classic Intro, definity Mule. Love that song. Oh, if anybody knows where I can get an audio file of it, the original, not one of the remakes that's all I can find, I'd be grateful. For more modern computer game, I gotta go with Mechwarrrior 3, absolutely hands down, the best Intro I've ever seen. It's the ONLY intro that I thought, "Make it 2 hours, gimme some popcorn, and I'll pay $10 t

Reply to [Suggestion] On Farming in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Ok, I can see what your both saying, but, I live in a rural farm based area. The amount of land dedicated to farming, and ranching, is huge. Trying to contain the land required to feed even a moderate sized settlement IN the settlement would make the settlement very large and harder to defend. That's why medieval castles and towns didn't wall in all the farm land around them, it's just too much. And, modern farming techniques and scientific breakthroughs have made mode

[Suggestion] On Farming in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I've noticed in many screenshots and while playing the beta that farms are usually in town. This seems kinda screwy. Farms take up large amounts of land, and land in town is usually at a premium, not available for farming. Shouldn't we have cities, and then large stretches of farmland outside them?

I recently got Impulse my self. You need to update your registration with Impulse. Start it, look in the upper right corner and there are some small icons, the little white page looking one is update reg. Look up your Serial #, enter it, and you'll be able to get updates through impulse. Ripper

Heya all, My 2 cents for improvements: 1. Let me add my call for improvements to the espionage system. It would be nice to be able to gather intel on other races without having to sabotage their production. Like others have said, maybe a mix of the old slider system and the new agents. Also, the ability to sabotage and/or blow up ships and starbases. Many times I've wished for a way to remove another races starbase without going to war and calling in the ships to kill it.<

Reply to STICKY: The Glitch Report in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

It's been mentioned in it's own thread, figured i'd put it here, as well. There appears to be a new bug since the last patch. The influence calc is going screwy and one empire is getting total influence for one or two turns. Unfortunately, because of the way Influence works, I can't send you my save game, because reloading resets the influence calcs. One of the guys that had this happen said it was after he had conquered a planet. Not sure if that's what caused in my current game or not, be

Yep, i've seen this as well, except it was the Arceans that had total influence. Twice in my current game

Darn, just thought of another thing. The Tech Trading definitely needs an option to limit it. I trade heavily, but still don't like how easy it is. One suggestion, if you trade for a high level tech that you don't have prerequisites for you shouldn't be able to research the next level tech until you get the earlier ones, since they represent a basis for the understanding of the higher lev

First off, great game, love it so far. Tweaks and or Changes I'd like to see. 1. It's nice that the AI recognizes when it's defeated and surrenders, now i just wish the little twit would surrender to me once in awhile. If I can't have that, i'd REALLY appreciate it if my supposed friends and allies would quit accepting the surrenders of my mortal Enemies. I don't know about you guys, but it kinda pisses me off when they do. 2. Better controls for stacks and f

Question about snail-mail ETA in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Howdy, I've been trolling these forums since the release, and I must say the game looks great. My only question , so far, is when is the CD going to arrive to those of us who pre-ordered through you? Unfortunately, i'm still a dinosaur and on dialup, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. So, no, download for me. Just want to check, as my addiction is growing and I don't have the game yet . Must.....Play......Soon......or......R
