This rumour has surfaced several times from different sources, only adding to the intrigue.. Now, i'm absolutely certain aliens exist in the first place, there's no doubt about that. We exist, thereby they must exist. Also, there are almost a dozen theories (physically plausible) on how to travel between stars within a human lifetime. Now, if you have a civilization that evolved at the same time as, lets say, the dinosaurs evolved, but instead of being wiped out by a rogue m

I guess it isnt coming at all.. ?

The whole deal with the Impulse thing was advertised as "wow, now you dont have to hassle with several different download applications, no cds etc". But in the end, all you are doing is replacing one download-app with another.. No difference from say Stardock Central, Gamersgate, Steam or even the horrible EA Downloader. Yes it runs better, looks better, has better functions etc.. But its still just another download app that i never ever even open until i want to check if there's an upd

I'll tell you why he needs spam to spread the word about that game, and why noone will care about it. "For more details, please visit http://holy.pkve.com/ Tags: [B]Browser Game[/B], [B]Web Game[/B], [B]Browser-Based[/B] Game, [B]Free[/B] Online Game, [B]Free[/B] MMORPG" Thats why. Good luck.

Stupid embedding wont work.. Stupid forum wont let us edit :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acc8HrxzXW0&fmt=18

SanChonino, that's pretty mellow imo ;> Now thats the apocalypse. At least after the first minute :P

[quote]play in windows mode for now, at least you can see the clock on the bottom of your desktop.[/quote] Not me, since GalCiv2 is so smart enough that it overlaps every other pixel, and it has no borders at all too! Its all good, but not when you look at the clock "HOLY SHIT! 5am :O"

Indeed.. A cheap bazooka can destroy even the biggest siege tower that took months to build :D Tech is imba :) (in real life that is)

Homeworld :D

I dont even want to remember the very first ones, too crappy technology back then :P However the nice ones stand out from later on; Mystic Quest (simplified Final Fantasy for kidz) Zelda (duh) Kirby Donkey Kong Country Starcraft Populus

kryo, could there be any remote chance that we'd get a slider or drop down box in a patch, to let us choose "low, medium, high" rate of such random events? I LOVE the randomness and "fear" of something happening. But its happening way too much stuff way too often. Its something i feel should happen rarely, not in almost every single game you play. (Megaevents changing the balance of power UTTERLY, happened more than once in 13 of the 15 games ive played so far)

Obviously not a minority :) It doesnt matter how good a game's gameplay is, you still want something nice to rest your eyes on, especially if its a game such as this where you'll spend countless hours. Im surprised that turn based / big & long games usually have crappy graphics, those are the ones that "need" it. Fast games like Starcraft or C&C is all about hotkeys and clicking fast, you never have time to care about the graphics, especially on pro gamer levels.

Just a quick question. In that screenshot you can see some sort of drop pods (??) being smashed into the planet, in the video screen. But every single time i invade or get invaded, its the same old video of a city burning more and more.. I tought it would change depending on what invasion method you use, mass drivers or core detonation etc. (would be REALLY cool) But it just doesnt. Is it supposed to be the same all the time? Or is it a bug that will be fixed? Thanks!

Zoomed into the minimap to 200%, then clicked the little button to open the galaxy map popup. Scrolling the mouse wheel over that gives a runtime error.

just wait til you get the pirate megaevent in a gigantic galaxy, wohoo 100 fleets killing every single ship and station in the galaxy. until you get 5 rangers by pure "chance". fun = destroyed randomness = wins

But it still affects production.................... I must go experiment :D I dont give a sh*t if they are unhappy, im the emperor god dammit! 24 billion hard working slaves vs 14 billion happy slaves ? Could it be possible that a world with 3 farms, 3 happiness things and the rest factories, has better production than a low-pop world with only 1 happniess thing and the rest factories?

[quote]Good job Stardock. God knows what the PC game industry would be like without you.[/quote] Probably even more sunk into their false religion of the Starforce & Securom gods.

[quote]Ah, the visuals behind the tiles are just a background.Adding some algorithm linking usable tiles to the randomized background would again use some additional resources (RAM, CPU) and all those bells and whistles would in the end bog down the game. There are some more instances where it was decided to keep the design more simple, allowing to reserve most of the resources for the AI and its strategy.[/quote] Yeah, but building a xeno farm underwater still doesnt make sense :D

So i was in this huge galaxy game, and things were going great. I had 2 ascension crystals in my area, so i built 2 bases on them and started collecting points.. Then however, everyone hated me, so i tought i'd give my ascension bases away to someone else, to make them into the hate-target instead. This didnt work, i was still the one getting the ascension points even tough the other race now owned the bases. Then, after loading my game today, the bases were gone, it

Yep :) Morgan Webb ftw! http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/1072/X3_Reunion.html

The mega events happen WAY too frequently.. Arent they supposed to be rare? Why do they happen in every single game ive played? Always someone that "gets more powerful as time passes", always someone that found a precursor ship, always some insanely huge cash bonuses or penalties. I want to play a NORMAL fair game, but with a RARE chance of something like that happening.. Like ONCE in a long game, not 5 times.

[quote]The only thing that I found irritating was the complaint for no multiplayer.While that was annoyingly predictable, the most irritating part of the video was that woman's voice - is she some kind of robot? Why are all video reviews done by people who sound (and look) like they live in their parents basement?[/quote] Wow.. She's amazing. You should watch some more xplay stuff, not just reviews =P Imo she's one of the funniest / best reviewers out there. "Whats a girl gotta

[quote]How do they survive the explosion? Everything else in the system is nuked. One has to wonder how a tiny laser beam can destroy a mobile station with enough power to blow up and star and the strength to withstand the resulting super nova.It is very far away. If you take the distances into account that play a role in the game, 1 parsec which is one square on the game map would be 3.3 lightyears or 31billion km / 19,176,075,967,324.937 milesthe graphics are obviously not true to scale, so j

Indeed, in my current game, halfway trough i noticed that all my other three class 0 planets suddenly became class 4, i must have ignored that popup msg or something lol. With the altarian biosphere thing, plus full terraforming, i now have five class 16 planets around my home star :D

[quote]Many people say that PC gaming is dying, and I agree with them entirely. From a commercial sense. The independent gaming community for PC is better than ever. The reason that PC gaming is dying is because of system requirements. You do not need to run a FPS at 90 frames per second with bloom, soft shadows, real-time lighting, next-generation physics, and advanced reflection to make it look good. See Tremulous. 700 MHz, low requirements in graphics, and various other nice stats. It looks n
