Hehe since it seems every game I play I get the crappiest of all planets (I have yet have a game where I had anything greater than 15 near me, cept one time when I got really lucky and got a class 26). I wouldn't want there to be less than PQ 4 planets as I'd be the one who got them all. Dam my luck sucks.
What game are you guys playing? I have plays numerous games and the only stars that ever have any colonizable planets are yellow. Not even orange or red, but yellow.
Wrong. I only wrote this post after they sent me a dismissive automated response. That doesn't sound like StarDock. But I'm not going to argue that. No, retail box sets aren't screwed for updating because I have a retail box myself, and everything works great. You probably just missed a step somewhere (I'll admit, the registration proces
Woot! Grats Stardock!!! I was so excited to see that this great game has made the top 10 list... and it definitely deserves it! I was hoping this day would come, and it looks like it has!
Heck yah! 'Grats Stardock, you deserve it!
Actually yellow stars are the only ones that have habitable planets. Any other color will not. But there have been plenty of yellow stars without any habitable planets in the games I've played to say that just because it's yellow doesn't mean it's habitable.
Hehe I've had this happen to me too. The Akilians, whose home planet had het to be explored, parked an influence starbases in the center of my empire, right next to Earth and my two biggest production planets. All game long, they kept calling me as I moved fleets back and forth. I mean... they chose to put their stupid starbase INSIDE my territory, did they think I wasn't going to be moving ships around MY EMPIRE? So, I went to war, destroyed their starbase, made peace, and all was hu
I upgrade only my ships with experience, and I use my old ships to attack first and weaken the enemy for when my new ships attack. That way I don't care if I lose an old ship, as I was probably going to scrap it anyway, and it no longer costs me maintenance, and my new ship didn't take quite the beating. But I agree, upgrading is a tad on the expensive side, which is probably done for balance.
I usually build 2 factories and a shipyard then shift the focus to military. Then have churning out my scouts and small ships until the late game, when manufacturing centers come into play, then I have it give me a constant supply of constructors and what not. Its really a wasted planet, and I can't be bothered with waiting 10000000 turns for it to upgrade each lab or whatever else I put there. Probably not the best strategy, but I like to leave research to the bigger better planets. Actually wo
In response to #4, I am not aware of any official screenshots of the desktop, but I am currently running it myself. I really like it, definitely way better than the default Windows one, which I was running before. It t's perfectly stable, it really doesn't affect any core systems, it's merely just a skin over the interface. Here is a screenshot that I took: http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/297/gc2desktop3wf.jpg The wallpaper is basically a pic of the army in the intro mov
for $40 and to not even be able to play it? i'm gonna be criticizing, cuz i paid my money and i can't even use the product Criticizing who exactly? Because the game doesn't work on your machine? When there are thousands of other people who bought the game and it is working for them. There is most likely a problem on YOUR computer, possibly a me
Stpinmass dude, what's with all the periods? Seriously man, it's like you have OCD. I would just like to say that I am wholly impressed with the quality of GalCiv2. It has the least amount of bugs of any game released that I have played in years. If you would like to see a game that was rushed out, pick up Civ 4 (wouldn't run on mine nor my roomates, nor a friend's machine until 2 patches later). Or even Battlefield 2, which many people still have problems with. Or Star Wars Galaxies.
