I spent tons of time to create custom ships for my custom race... Now after dling the patch, those are all messed up... That *really* annoys me. Anything I can do about that (the ships rather than my annoyance... well, maybe both)
Just researched that (Technology Victory tech). Nothing happened, even though under victory conditions the reasearch victory (which was enabled for the game) was at 100%. Anybody know why?
Need help here. I just lost a game because of that. I kept upgrading my designs but my colonies kept building the old ships all the time. Every time I changed that, after building a ship, the planet changed back to the old design. Thus I had a bunch of Stinger III ships in late game. My top design was already with anti-matter. Broke my neck... Is there a way to change that. The old designs keep showing up, even though I would love to just kick them. I now have about 10 designs o
First let me say that, after having played a game through from start to end, I really like it. Please take the following points as constructive criticism and not whining. However, there are some items in the game I just do not like or understand and would hope to see them corrected in a future patch possibly. They are: 1. Fleet management. Its like hell, at least for me. Most of the times, when selecting a ship or a
Hello: Some questions where I could not find any answers in-game or in the manual: 1. How can you upgrade starbases. I have researched all kinds of techs for that, starbase fortification and such but never had the option to a) create my own starbase in the shipyard or b) upgrade my starbase with the upgrade button (was always greyed out) 2. If you have several fleets stationed in front of a planet you want to attack, can they all attack together or just one after
Hello: After having played my first game just now, there are a couple of things that are unclear to me and for which I did not find any information in the manual. So I would be glad if someone could help me out: 1. On a planet where I built a farming improvement, the food production still was only 5mt/week. Thus the game did not count the 8mt/week of the farm, just the 5mt of the colony. How come and how can I change that? 2. On ship design, when designing a new
Just wondering, how does the combat work? I have flipped through the manual and the information on this site but did not find exactly what I was looking for. So if you have two battlefleets clash, are the ships just sitting there or are they moving around. I guess my question is is the combat more like MoO2 or MoO3 for all who know those two titles - and who have not already luckily forgotten or banished MoO3 from their thoughts...
Just a quick question, although I am from Germany I prefer to play with the English version of the game as the original tends to have far less problems with line overruns and faulty translation (don't say that will be so for GalCiv2, just a general experience). At amazon.de and in other stores online I am only able to preorder the German version of the game. Is that intentional. Will there be no English version on sale on the German market? Or is the German game version multi-li

Just flipping through the manual I read through one example of fleet combat where some fighters took on a dreadnaught. As I have found no hull size description I could be wrong but my guess is that a dradnaught is a huge ship. Now, in this example, the dreadnaught had 40 hits and each of the fighters (4) 12 hits. Thus, 4 fighters can take out a capital ship???? Or at least insanely damage it???? I am amazed! Sure, I do not know the production cost of those
Hello: Just wondering, will there a feature where you will have a menue item to automatically update your game if and when an update is available. Sort of like Age of Empires III, where you have a "Search for available updates" button. Cheers
Could someone in beta (gamma) comment on the size of the galaxy i.e. how many planets are there in a small/medium/huge galaxy (if those are the size classes). I am sure this has been commented on before but unfortunately I have found no search function on the forums. Thanks.
Have you ever played GalCiv? AI is what they're best known for. The original Galactic Civilizations on OS/2 was the first multithreaded computer AI for instance. A great deal of work is put into making sure the AI is very challenging. Each computer opponent has its own AI module (i.e. its own C++ file with its own unique functions and strategies). <b
(follow up on the post above) I myself am quite happy with the metaverse option as a way to compare ones skills agains others. I just hope my name sits somewhere near the top. And that is really another thing I guess turns me off. My time is limited and thus I will not play hundreds of games, so many others will be much better at the
Really a shocker in the morning... I have been following GalCiv 2 for quite a while but it *never* even occured to me that a game nowadays, especially a TBSG turn based strategy game would not have a MP option. This completely startled me. I *only* play those games for the fun of competing with friends and hoped GalCiv 2 would fill the void MoO3 and BotF could not. Thus just now the game for me went from *extremely excited about* to a game that i may try out, play a few gam
