I agree with LightVader on all issues. I have notice the issue with colony ship I suppose the 2nd colony module is for design reasons only it does not add anything at all space or cost. And on the issue with ship components.. thats another unbalance that tends to keep a balance.. it looks stupid having the same weapon with different size on bigger ships but thats the way they choosed to keep balance on the game. personally I dont like it and I would like to see a huge ship armed

I have mention sometimes things I would like to see. Here the last discussion about survey ships and more. WWW Link And of course a map editor and an external ship editor. Some fix regarding wide screen monitors will help too.. I work at 1920x1200 so sometimes I see some graphics stretched..

Its a great idea.. There are 2 things in this game that I dont like so much.. you get some bonus without a good reason. 1st is the space anomalies.. just put some spots on the map and send survey ships to explore them and you get a random bonus.. 2nd the bonus resources.. military, morale, research and economic. Built starbases and you increase them.. What Jae suggests is a much better idea instead space anomalies. Lets say we forget the idea space anomalies and instead we

Who are you? This is a question to Stardock posters like Kryo, Frogboy.. and others. You have answered so many questions to us. Can you answer this one too? Would be nice to know a little info for the developers of GalCiv2. For example you were working always in game industry? You were dreaming to become a game developer? How old are you? Do you play GCII? (not for testing but for fun)

I have also a similar problem. When I visit this site on homepage I'm not logged in and I see the login applet. I put my username and password but nothing happens the page refreshes and Im still not logged in. The weird thing is that if I press any other link like here in forums I am logged in.. the problem is only on the first page. It does not cause me any problems just its weird. Maybe the fact I have changed my e-mail too causes the problem?

grr Im really angry.. thats really stupid..

I had a test.. I started a new metaverse game on the first screen instead my pic with an astronaut there is no pic just a big (?) I retired from the game immediately and posted on metaverse.. this worked. But when I try to post my previous game score its not accepted. So I suppose the savegame has the old serial and I cant post my score whatever I do?

I have sent e-mai at support on the 1st they just send me 2 e-mails with 6 serial numbers.. something I could do myself. I sent another e-mail but no response..

There is no help in this forum for my problem. This situatuation with so many serial numbers is really no sense! The system generates different serial numbers all of them are working with Stardock Central so I can download updates but I cannot post my scores. Just that.. I cannot post my score it keep saying my serial is not the same with the other on Metaverse server despite the fact I tried all the serial I received from Stardock.. no luck something is wrong and I cant do nothing f

I have sent an e-mail to support but they answered 1 week later and they did not give me a solution to my problem. I send a second and I still wait after 2 weeks total.. So I post here since it seems its faster.. Metaverse is not accepting my score. I played a game once DA was out and when I finnished few days later I tried to post my score but it keeps saying my serial number is different with the other on Metaverse server. When I asked through Stardock central to send me the

Its very complex true.. not possible in this game, this version now.. but its interesting idea that Stardock could write down like many other here in forums.. and keep them for the GC III perhaps..

Grrreat... well I'm prepared for a looong night.. Another question.. if I decide later to get the box version GCII+DA, what do I have to do since I have the GCII Collectors Edition and would be better to have the cd's for a single install.

Finally its here. I pre-ordered DA in November and I was playing beta since then. When I saw the announcement for the release on 14th February I hoped I could get it a little sooner through Stardock update. So finally a week before on 6 Feb. its available for those who pre-ordered it. (its still downloading.. can't wait) Yes I wanted to say that and let others know and of course than

I was thinking always since Dread Lords that ok ships are nice, making your own is nice, piece by piece and.. I think it remembers me Lego? Well will be possible to see in future a sleak design? eg. Amidala's ship from Star Wars.. which is my favourite design I have ever seen.. or like ships we see here from mods. They are pre-made but some basic sleak designs that will differ completely from those old fashioned ships? We could still attach pieces and perhaps the points which we atta

Yes.. please let people who preordered to download it through update... and of course open Metaverse to accept DA scores!

I have to say that I have seen too some red flashes sometimes..

Well does it matter if its in the code or just a skin? I say that they are experts on skinning.. they produce software for different themes.. why not different theme for GCII too? Like many other strategy games themes that depends your civilization or age.. Anyway its OFF TOPIC..

Well I said I want to play DA only.. I know I can play Dread Lords but dont want anymore.. Also.. Yes I want to play but no problem to find a bugs and report them but hopefully those bugs will cause just some problems not ruin the game... I found a new bug similar to Xeno Ethics I reported on the first message, it seems the game forgets some events after loading a saved game. On Xeno E

I was so happy to have Dark Avatar finally.. I had always in mind its a beta and its possible there will be some bugs but the last bug ruined my game and lost 3 days of playing... I researched Xeno Ethics and selected Neutral. But later I loaded the last autosave (set to every 2 turns) and had to select on Xeno Ethics again but it didnt work! I selected Neutral again like before but later I col

I agree with Sylverlokk 100%. Most of strategy games have a very similar scenario, build,research,expand,conquer and that tends to be the same again and again. You have to built this so you can produce this.. but what about some more tricks that could make the game not boring but much more interesting. A Dyson Sphere, or a huge starbase with some thousands citizens or a trans-dimensional technology that you could exist in 2 parallel universe? Tricks that could alter the game progression

Ok I see the new version has a randomizer and thats great because if you want to create a huge or gigantic map it would take too much time to finnish it. But the random generator doesnt work so well.. for example if you select star spacing very tight some stars are so tight that they are mixed 2in1 Into advanced mode when you set the clusters well I dont see clusters but spreaded stars..

Its true, the map generator sucks.. I play always gigantic maps abundant stars with 4 or 5 other races. I have to try again and again start new game with another map but most times they are bad and I give up. I play as custom race, my race or the other ones have very bad locations for example at the corner of the map with few stars around and then empty space. Not fair. At the start of a new game there is a selection for a custom map but how.. there is no map editor to create our

well 30$ or even 25$ I think its too much for an expansion its more than the half of the game itself.. thanx Im a european and the cost in euro is less for me if I still play the game in fall maybe I will buy it and I hope to see something new than ships going around and building up. You see.. I like the game but it doesnt have something.. wow.. something to see videos, graphics something you expect to happen something wonderful or horrible.. thats what I

Since I started playing the game on 21st Feb I had more than 20 crashes for different reasons. Mostly during the game for different reasons, selecting a ship, opening colonies list.. simple things but the game crashes. Alt-tab also.. it crashes 9 out 10. If you press alt-tab its not likely you will go back.. Another bug is the credits.. I have lost credits when I load a saved game. For example I had 2700 and after load again it was only 600...! Thats makes me mad. I c
