While I would not say that baseball is retarded, I will say that it is boring. The post, OTOH, is borderline "learning impaired". It's sort of like the post wandered into the wrong bathroom because it couldn't understand the pictogram on the door. I'll leave it up to the OP to figure out what this says about him (or her).
What is this process doing when it is running, and why have you hidden it? Shhhh! It's what Brad uses to steal pR0n from your computer. Give the guy a break.
I start the game, click Metaverse and crash to desktop every time. But I can play a non-Metaverse game without any problem.

Yea that happened to me. The worst part about it is that you cant break alliances on the diplomacy screen! You have to actually attack their fleet. Talk about an oversight There is a button or switch on a screen (the correct one escapes me now) that says "Break Alliance". You don't have to attack. <b
I thought the subject line was refering to my first, second and present wives.
The last time I had this problem it was a close vote, like 52 to 48 against. So I kept trying to attack until the vote went my way. Cheesy? Yep. But I wanted that PQ21 Carinoid (sp?) planet REAL bad. If the vote is a bigger difference, I don't know what to tell you. Raise your approval to over 70% and try again. Good luck.
1BC coin is not 1 billion Game manual, page 23 bottom: "You earn money, measured in billions of credits (bc's)," "He picked up a coin worth 1BC..." Normally you can find stuff worth from hundreds to thousands of bc (billions of credits). The joke is, that it's a "meas
I bet he really found a 3BC coin, and chopped off one third to keep the empire happy. By your description you must be thinking of a coin based upon a rare metal that has intrinsic value. This would be instead of a coin like the ones we use today, which have a much lower intrinsic value than what is ac
Since the income of a trade route (according to the manual) is on a per turn basis, getting it somewhere sooner (in less turns) would decrease the income. Eg: 10 parsecs at 1 parsec per turn is more cash than 10 parsecs at 5 parsecs per turn... 10 turns of income versus 2 turns of income.
Consider the Drengin - do you think they would sit by and watch an alien colonization ship head for a habitable planet a few sectors from their homeworld? No they wouldn't, they'd blast it out of existence. Yet the only option one has in that case is to declare war. Think of it this way. There is an o
The change I would like to see to the combat system, would be to allow an option at the start of the game: Defensive advantage: If checked, this option means that the defending fleet (or ship) fires first, instead of the attacking fleet. This would mean that there would be a slight advantage to being on the defensiv
I wonder how the No Tech Trade option will affect the balance of the the different races. Seems to me that right now tech trading is a big part of the computer's strategy or at least they all use it a lot. There should definitely be a lot of testing to make sure that disabling that aspect of the computer's strategy won't unbalanc
I can see you. I just can't hear you.

It's been that way for me from the beginning. I've mentioned it before but gotten no reply.
I play it using DOSBox Link and the front end for it called D-Fend Link .
"Driver Version: 6.14.0010.6693 Driver Date: 10/29/2004 16:50:00" You want to update your video drivers. And it wouldn't hurt to update your audio driver while you're at it.
I have several game related folders in My Docs. I understand that it is common now. I also know how to move it. I do not wish to move it. I just want to decide what goes there and what doesn't. Simply hiding the folder will not work. It is a space issue. But thanks anyway.
As has been explained in other threads by Brad Himself, Microsoft practices reccomends that you put save files in the My Docs folder. A lot of games do it. Stardock was just following the MS standards. IMNSHO this sucks. I love Gal Civ 2 with all of my heart. But I set my C: drive as a system only drive. I'd like the option of placing these files elsewhere. Others seem to agree. I hope that if enough people speak up about this, that it will be changed. But I don't expect it.
4) Finally, in military terms, whoever controls space controls the high ground. Even an orbital platform is a sitting duck, and anything on the ground is worse. Read Niven's "Footfall".... all you have to do is throw big rocks. It's trivial to defeat planetary defenses if I can move around your solar system at will, scooping up space junk and changing delta-V and trajector
Quoth Tycho: Galactic Civilizations 2 might be a very good game, but it has a feature so insidious that I may never find out: in addition to the various interstellar tiddlywinks, it has full ship construction. Grand Theft Auto lets you steal any car, and depending on the car you steal there may be objectives associated with it. I have the same pr
Realistically, the AI will sometimes build something on a food spot if it has something else in mind. As will I.
So now we're in unknown territory. We no longer have any idea how many units the game will sell. The first one sold roughly 75,000 units in North America and roughly that many overseas / electronic. We've shipped around 50,000 so far and we're starting to run into a back order so availability is going to get tight in the coming days as we're now rush manufacturing anothe
As a previous poster stated. I have see it happen and I use it as a reason to take over one more minor race. If you had just kept your mouth shut, you'd still own the planet.
#9 is VERY annoying in the later part of a large map game.
