Very nice! Overall bug fixes count is impressive plus better AI with some neat UI changes. Let it be tomorrow alrdy

Great work! I especially agree about threaties window. I still sometimes click on the civ icons

Good finds! I have actually thought once or twice about non habitable planets looking like earth etc, but somehow ignored it. Good that you brought this one up and with very detailed explanation of the situation.

Gah all this extra work from SD makes my eyes misty I mean 1.3 was said to be purely bug fixes, no more features. And here we have frogboy talking about new UI stuff. Thats great stuff, Iam glad I pre-ordered DA on the first day that it was possible Jack-Jack: That would be nice

Non taken Yes well since the beta is coming out tomorrow, guess wanting a half hurry made change log does not suit any purpose anymore. One thing that puzzles me still is the question, is 1.3 patch going to be the final patch to GC2? Since I remember reading somewhere Frogboy stating that this will be the "first" 1.3 patch. My memory could be wrong. Having witnessed the great

I very much doubt it. SD alrdy has its hands full fixing all the bugs with current supported OS. I just don´t see the point by starting officially supporting a OS that is currently in beta stage. To me its just like begging for trouble. edit: Looks like you got a better reply from a in house source @18# In my part of the world copy/pasteing a change log does not take

They arent exactly working as advertised maybe. Or atleast it seems so in my games, Iam no expert in coding or texturing, but it seems city light are ON no matter which side you watch the planet. Kinda looks silly having white dots on light side of the planet. As I said, I have no idea should they work like this, just that it looks weird. Plus the light dots usually show up on water tiles too, which is also weird <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Tongue.gif

Yep my dramatics went bit overboard You could feed the raging fan mob by throwing us a bone or two. Maybe tell us in general what areas of AI has been enchanted in 1.3? Keeps us settled for the couple extra days

Two words "oh Cr*p". If there was actually good games to play at the moment (new ones) the dissapointment would not be so great. But no good in hiding it, Iam waiting 1.3 like a rising moon over here

I have noticed that in games where Tech Trade is allowed, all AI seem to get same weapons. Logically they trade around so thats how it starts. But as the weapon animations on mass and missile techs are most annoyingly slow, I tend to go with beam weapons

Yes there is. Head down to: C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\ships and delete all files in that folder.

To me it is foolish to say "why does this game have to be better if none other is?". GC2 has good thing going for it, I just hope they recognize that diplomacy/politics part of the game is really shallow. So the obvious guestion is, why not try to make the game better if there is a chance?

I agree with the OP. Frogboy really deserves much credit about the AI , but it will get you only so far if the game is limited in other areas. In this case the diplomacy/politics. As reaver said, the diplomacy/politics part of the game will get some loving in expansion pack, how much is yet to be seen. But atleast there is hope

Thanks for the tip! Hopefully this option change makes it better. Test test Looks like it did!

I can´t call this anything else but a bug. I write a message like this: And it appears like this: Iam using Firefox 1.5.0.4 browser. I have tried multiple times to add spaces between the texts but no success so far.

Read about the thing in www.civfanatics.com site and it sounds very cool. What do you think, could something like that work in GC2 too? I know DA will bring new stuff to diplomacy, but I think now is the right time to discuss these things, maybe SD can get some new ideas. In my mind if a civilizations military is crushed totally, the civilization should plead for peace and become a vassal civilization for the stronger civ. Ofcourse it would be up to stronger side if he wou

Glaring bugs indeed ignuss and I certainly expect 1.3 to fix these (as it is advertised as bug crunching). I would also like to see the inaccurate Goverment text fixed in F6 screen (forgot the name )

Sounds sweet Spartan! This could be the thing that keeps us gaming untill DA

There was a poll awhile ago where only about 10% or was it 5% of the players wanted anykind of multiplayer. So it that was a clear signal to SD not to diver resources on multiplayer development. The DA expansion pack will not have multiplayer either so maybe in GC3, which wont come out in years as I understanded. There is no multiplayer mod for GC2, but Iam not sure if it impossible to create one. I doubt it since GC2 has none what so ever multiplayer implemented. RTW had TCP/IP gamin

DA alrdy pre ordered here! Iam curious about the picture frogboy posted. Are we getting sweet formation fleet battles with 1.3 or with DA? Please say they come with 1.3, the combat viewer has lost all its initial apeal because the bumping cars battles. Imagine, two huge armadas moving closer to each and at the same time pounding each other to bits. <img src="http://images.stard

Have you been using betas in the past with your current install of GC2 ? I installed all the betas and official versions from 1.0 -> 1.2 and many of my problems went away after I did a fresh install of GC2 and patched it up. If you have used betas give it ago. I recomend this since I dont witness example "deleted designs dont go away" problems etc. Iam also bit confused about the ship selection. Its not very streamlined in my mind. :/ But thats just a feeling cannot say fo

Hopefully there will be a open beta. There was some glaring UI issues and others in 1.0 GC2, hopefully SD learns from it.

I usually create Cylons So that the Yor dont feel lonely as only evil robots. +20% pop growth, +20 economics and something random. Political party is Technologists with research and sensor bonus.

This situation has been going on for quite some time. Iam going to finish that game today if possible. But like previous people have said, AI has never broken up a alliance with me before. Sure looks like they would like to, but just seems they are not capable of doing so in 1.2 .

Ok I give up with the file postings. Post was doned with firefox 1.5.0.4 and I copy pasted straight links to "insert web link" window :( here are the straight links: http://www.turixline.fi/tomas/QuickSave.sav http://www.turixline.fi/tomas/debug.err
