I agree with most of what you're saying except for the consequences of what a lose at Midway would have meant. American policy was that the European war took precedent, and nothing at Midway could have changed that. A victory for Japan wouldn't have changed much. The USA could out produce Japan by a staggering margin. The US could afford to lose ships, planes, and pilots, the Japanese couldn't. Even if they could have won more battles, they

Small ships can be good because of the military assist starbase modules. But I go with bigger ships for speed.

With Firefox and Explorer I can see it, but can't vote. With Opera I can see the vote thing but it's black text on black background. I learned about the first one from the advertisement they put in the MOO3 box. Since MOO3 sucked so bad I gave Gal Civ a chance and it was the better made product. It lacked some of the complexity of the MOO series, but it did what it did well, and MOO3 didn't. I don't remember where I heard Gal Civ 2 was goin

I need the edit function back. "Japanese" and "win a war with the West"

They didn't really underestimate the USA. All the Japanes wargames, and simulations they ran showed they would lose a war. But they went ahead with it anyways. It wasn't just Yamamoto who realized they weren't going to be able to win a war with West. They considered the oil embargo an affront to them, and an offensive manuever. So they were going to fight back, despite the odds. They blamed the USA for starting the war; they didn't take resp

No edit button, and things seem to be working worse than usual for me also.

I'll say it. Stardock is a lot better than Steam(ing pile of ****).

Why to change the system?, it was working fine, just few bugs, now just getting 29k for a tough game is not a good move. Did you miss the post about how the high score was set by a four year old hitting the end turn button?

Civ wasn't the first 4X computer game. I believe that honour belongs to Reach for the Stars, but someone will probably correct me. I still play the 2000 redo of RFTS from time to time. Starweb is probably the oldest. The first one I played was MegaWars III.

They killed the edit button?!?!

Did you install the patch? Are you video and audio drivers up to date?

Upgrading your systems RAM and video card is a cheap and easy way to give your system a big boost. Adding another 512 MB of RAM and a reasonably priced GFX card would make a huge difference for very little money. That's not always possible on a laptop. What video card do you recomend for his laptop?

When the game crashes and the drivers are out of date, next time they start the game can't you just have a pop up box that repeats the message that their drivers are out of date and may have been responsible for their last crash?

#5. Isn't it pointless to have armor on a ship with no weapons. Seems a waste of money.

If I remeber correctly before any patches, the occasional CTD when invading was a known issue. I don't know if that was suppose to have been fixed yet or not.

Edit: Nevermind, I missed where you said it was a custom race.

Scripting wouldn't be so bad if they used multiple scripts. That would keep it from being too predictable. Someone used Chess as an example. Even though opening moves are scripted it doesn't play the same opening all the time; there's enough randomness in there to keep it from being too predictable. It also only follows an opening script to a point where it knows that such a script is proven sound. After that it switches to calculating its moves. Most players have how they start the g

And the no-DVD .exe from gamecopyworld But that makes you a criminal violating the DMCA.

Research Sensor 4 and build Eyes of the Universe.

Easy on a Tiny map - go try it on a gigantic where your opponent has got 30-40 planets spread across 20 sectors. A bigger map doesn't make the game any harder; it just makes the game last longer. With bigger maps, the A.I.'s slow ships are even worse, and gives you even more time to react.

Has there been any recent updates on how well Galactic Civilizations 2 is selling?

For a good military rating, build ships with all weapons maybe one defense so they can take adavantage of base assist bonuses. For a good military build sensor ships, and make your combat ships faster the enemies. Also make some really fast ships with only one gun (cargo hulls work if you have nothing better) to take out all helpless targets like transports, freighters, unarmed bases, and constructors. Also make your troop transports faster

I read that yesterday, really interesting story. Secondly, users won't heed warnings or readmes. Next time, the game will have a dialog that will simply not allow them to play the game until they update their drivers. What about laptop cards, and vendor specific cards that won't work with the regula

I would advertise in non-gaming magazines. I'm guessing most game magazine readers have already heard of Gal Civ 2 by now. Magazine ratings, online reviews, and forums are what they are going to be basing their buying decisions on now. I'd look to advertising in Sci-Fi magazines, and websites. GC2 is a good laptop game, maybe advertise in laptop magazine, and websites. Now that the game and demo have been out awhile, getting to people who haven't heard
