Well this has got to be a first! Of all the years of playing computer games and waiting on patches for this or that, I can't recall a single time that a company stated ahead of time when a patch will be released and actually did so on that date......until now:) Great job guys!!! Sabre21
I would have to agree with the original poster on this one. Multi-player in strategy based games anymore these days is pretty much a given. I look at the games produced by Matrix, Shrapnell, Paradox and a host of others and look what you find..all multiplayer. Whether it's play by email, Lan, or hotseat..it's there. Even though I play single player most of the time, having an mp option extends the life of the game for me and many thousands of others. I thought it was a bit odd that G
I loaded the game to see how the map was progressing and found that some of the star colors were changed. I reloaded the editor only to find that when I tried to select one of the affected stars I got the same access viloation as I indicated above. Now whats odd is I quit out of the editor, then downloaded your latest version and ran it again. This time the stars are back to the original color I set both in game and in the editor. I don't ge
Nice job Exzachly:) Even though there weren't any instructions the editor was pretty easy to figure out. Just to add a few hints to those that haven't figured it out yet, once you open up a map, whether new or editing an existing one, simple double left click on any spot on the map and a window opens giving a choice of options to place..like a star, planet, star system, anomoly, ship, etc. Once you select an item for p
I appreciate the effort you have put in to this. I had no problem with the download, it took maybe 20 seconds at most. Thanks Sabre
Well..nice job! This is exactly what I was looking for. You can add me to the growing list of those interested in this editor. I knew eventually someone with the know-how would do this...it was just a matter of time. Sabre21 PS: Where will this be posted at so we can download it? Thanks again for the good work.
Is it to late to ask for an option that would pop a window up confirming the next turn when the TURN tab is clicked? Too many times now I have inadvertantly advanced a turn when trying to click a secyor on the mini map. Sabre21
I'm still getting a CTD when I'm playing the game, press ESC and reload a previous turn of the same game. In 4c if I did this, the same game file grew to some pretty large sizes each time this would occur eventually crashing the game. In 4d, the crashing occurs after the first or second reload. I am using a P4 3.4 with 2 gigs of ram and an ATI X800 256 video card all with current drivers. Sabre21
Will Minor races be unique from the major races and each other in the final release? In one game I tried I had 4 minor races appear near my home planet and they all had the same Altarian picture. Sabre21
I have a couple questions pertaining to the various planetary bonuses that you could end up with. I'm not sure what else they are called. Anyways, do these things even work yet? Like if you get a 50% starship bonus, what improvement to a starship is that? Is it in hit points or is it nothing more than a sped up production line? The other big question is what is the downside to some of these bonuses. Take for example the extermination of all them bugs, what is the negative i
Ok..I have 2 kinda big problems here..at least in my opinion they are. The first was found out by accident while the second was a result of the first. The first big issue pertains to a possible multiplayer cheat. I had landed a colony ship on a planet and received one of the planetary bonus options. I played a few extra turns and had to quit for a while. Not thinking, I quit the game without saving it. When I came back and loaded the game I was a couple turns prior to landi
I happen to come across part of the gameplay by accident that could end up being a multiplayer cheat. I had just landed a colony ship onto a planet and had one of the planetary options pop up, can't remeber what it was, but that's not the problem. I played a couple more turns and had to quit but thought I had saved it. When I restarted a couple hours later I was a couple turns before I had landed my colony ship. So when it came time to land it, just by chance a different
I listed below a few problems I am currently having with the beta 4 version along with a few questions. 1. I use a Realtek HD audio on my computer with all the latest drivers and am not getting a peep of sound. I have tried adjusting and resetting the in game values with no luck what so ever. Can anyone confirm if the Realtek HD audio is supported yet? 2. The only real problem I have with the user interface is when trying to click a point on the minimap that is close to th
