Challenging - all bright Custom Economics 30% +20 federal Pop growth +70% Terran Korx Arcea Iconians Dark Yor Jessens Galaxy settings all green (cept think research on very slow by accident) Well this game taught me quite a bit. Mainly minor races are a threat and you really can have allies. Fun fun game. My goal was for anything but conquest. Brief summary - I d
Oh ok, must be with patch. Before even if another ship had spotted one my survey ship wouldn't go. AI planet knowledge cheat: Myth Busted
Yeah I would think the larger the map the less frequent the trades so the problem wouldn't be as apparent. I play with 4 bright races on a small map and midrange settings for planets etc. I find when I finally meet everyone about 20 weeks into the game they all have very similar techs and about 3x what I have. And have usually 3 defenders and constructors on the move. I usually have on average one more planet and the same economy rating and population. I usually fill the planets
3rd ehh... I think that means more than it first appears...I mean look at the other titles and you can pretty much figure out why they are there. But this game...what is the draw, really. GC1 is about the only ad I've really seen and at the core this is the same game. I was surprised at the somewhat early coverage @ IGN. Seems someone took a personal interest. But otherwise I don't see how it came about, but I'm impressed and pleased.
@Citizen The Wicked Flea : Didn't see you had you had screens. I went through your screens and my list and knocked out the ones you covered. Maybe you can spot these and add it to your screenshots. PS must have gotten tired you skipped Terran Huge2 and called 3->2 I feel your pain, trust me I do. Drengin Large2 -2 on lower half of right rear 'pontoon' Hu

Let's get this sticked....very well put together. Be nice if we could comple this into a maintaned list to make it easier for us to prevent redundancy and easier to follow. - On the tiny ship body, second type - the front left hardpoint is backwards Made the same mistake. What race? Truth be told more than one and most often the tiny ships. Noticed one on the back of a cargo...ALT race I think. Fairly easy to check up on in Battle of the Gods gametype. -
Agree way too early for a good review. I'm not going to be up to snuff to take a look at the AI at all which I am most excited about. The tech tree has me boggled....just because I know how I want to play but I don't know exactly how to progress diplomaticly /defensively without leaving basic improvements behind. Once I get a feel for the pacing for planetary advancement, exploration, and military progression I'll be able to make a pref strategy. So far love it love it but here are
Bear with me. Ok I installed the game on my laptop at home where I have a fast cable connection. It's on an external HD. I then took my HD up to my cottage where I have my pc and a very slow and unreliable 56k connection. I figured it would be a fine connection for downloading the updates...but I screwed up. I didn't realise I would have to archive the game because Stardock on my PC does not know that I now have GCII moved from th
Lol ok I thought it might be coincedence so I HAD to check it out myself. Well, no that is indeed Mr. head a splode Good eye.
Trust me I would have done that if it were that easy. No internet where the PC is and only have wireless on laptop. Would cost me some extra cash just to download the game. And I rather not....it's no prob playing on the laptop but I would like to be able to move it easy to the PC.
I "installed" the game on an external drive via another computer (laptop). I want to install it on my desktop PC. Is it safe to just move the /Glaciv2 dir to /program files/ on my PC?
Logistics. Logistics. Logistics. You have complete control of that in this game and quite frankly most tactical situations could be played out in the game map. Want to protect a weak but important ship... keep it away from the attacker on the map just like you would in a tactical battle. As far as I can see the tactical battle is there. Complicated...you'll get it on a large map. It's all about having what you need where you need it when you need it. Truely no mo
Bump as it were and ditto. Although I'm not sure why (I usually don't gopher space strat) I bought GC way back when and had a fun time with it. Miffed that I have since lost my disk. Thanks to Gmail and Stardock I can feel fairly assured that I will never have to worry about keeping track of a GCII disk. DAMN YOU ADHD...damn YOU!!! P.S. on that note the reason I had a hard time with GC was I wo
Is beta no longer available for download?
Is the beta no longer available to those that pre-order? If not I guess it's time to find #1 to subdue the pain of the wait.
Read somewhere that the manual PDF was posted. Found it once but I can't seem to find the post / news update that it was on. Can someone post the link....would like to get my study on.
