I do have one question though. In Dar Avatar, will it be possible to add more ship styles? The ones in GC2 were hardcoded in, and as far as I could tell, the race ID corrisponded with the style of hull that race would have. Will Dark Avatar allow us to make a whole new set of hulls/jewlery and have that selectable for a new race? if you don't kno
I'm just wondering what races people prefer to use for a conquest victory because I'm trying to figure out how to do a conquest victory well on challenging level because I recently started games on that level. The Drath as usual are great for conquest, but also good for everything else pretty much, I tried the Torians and they aren't well suited to making armies (although the AI does very well for the Torians in almost every game, partly because they manage to get a big empire), the Yor
yea it can get a little annoying, especially when I get stuck in a corner with only a few stars near me and a large area of no stars between me and the rest.
it means that there is a ship in the shipyard, but not neccesarily defended because if you leave a colonizer in the shipyard, the shield icon will show up.
that is just for the human controlled race. The one chosen for the AI races generally change from game to game
ok, thats understandable. As for megs to gigs, I think its 1,000 megabytes that equal 1 gigabyte, same as 1,000 kilobytes is 1 megabyte. I understand that you are frustrated, but sometimes more info is needed and the debug.err helps because it tells the system info and what is going on. Also, are you updated to the latest patch which is 1.2? I don't know about the vid card thing, although it could depend on when it was last updated, which the debug.err will tell you.
my point is that you are basically double posting and its not neccesary to make another post that is about the same thing.
why did you make a second post? you could have just edited your origional thread or just made a new post in the origional thread.
Yeah wha a bastard Bush is, I mean come on, he goes to war because he feels like it, treats the common man like crap, doesn't even LISTEN to anyone accept his closest friends, and generally he just hates everyone and we have to remember, it was HIM to called Katrina down on heaven because he when to New Orleans one time and didn't like the dinner he had there. Yes, Bush is
do you mean you can't find the file or you can't open it? if you mean you can't open it, try using open as and choose notepad. anyway it should be there, or try using a search for a .err file
could you post a debug.err please? it would help.
uhm, link please?
Yea that really annying. But another thing that is annoying is that weapons can fire in ANY direction. Even if the guns are at the bottom they still fire. Doesnt matter were you put the gun it fires in all direction without any trouble I just imagine that the weapons are able to swivel around (even though many weapons look like they can't be tur

Not a bug per se, but the quantum driver tech is worthless. The graviton driver IV has better damage/size ratio than quantum driver III, never mind II and I. I suppose this is a side-effect of the minituarization bugfix.. Various tech tree paths should be checked to ensure the never and shinier is in fact better. QD issue happens when you have researched most of th
The planet city lights have been improved for version 1.3. The latest beta includes this improvement. You will be able to notice more lights if you turn down your Ambient Light setting in the Options screen. sometimes for low population planets you may have to zoom in close to see them better.
In this game I'm doing, I just had a random event bug. The Iconians got that good/evil alignment flip random event, BUT, these guys are long dead. It's the latest beta patch and I'm doing challenging difficulty if that would help. I also got a memory leak earlier with this game and I had it once before with a different game (but same patch)
I think the AI does it manually because if they were on autoexplore, you'd see the same notice below the ship as it does for the human player's ships.
yea it's something thats known for a while, has something to do with the AI pathing since they kind of end up following each other trying to go to the same unexplored area. I just make sure that I send the scouts to a far away area and have it explore from there and if two scouts are ending up on the same path, I send one off some ways in another direction towards an unexplored area. Also, to kind of help fix that when you first send them out, when you make your first scout ship just se
um, what would the point be of multiple starports on a planet? all the starports do is allow you to build ships, the production comes from your factories. With the way it works, you only need one starport. Perhaps you could explain the reasoning behind your idea and how you think it would work? Besides you can still only produce one ship at a time, just like you can build only one structure at a time. In a Real Time Strategy game this would work with multiple barracks,
just pressing any button on your keyboard works too.
yea the Epic Generator is very well along and looks cool! the race logo on the red ship looks like it might be the Drengin race logo, just upside down and at an angle so it's hard to see. But still, it could easily be a custom logo I'd also like to know more about the new planet habitatibility sys
only problem is that the ship bieng 'upgraded' is vulnerable for one turn. Although once I had an enemy attack a fleet that was bieng upgraded, but the armor was already adapted to what the enemy was using and that protected my ships, either that or sheer luck. The other thing is the cost, because high end ships would be more expensive, and so you have to pay for each time you do it. However that cash could be used for other things such as buying new ships or something. An exp
and this multiplayer thing for GalCiv2 is a dead horse that has been beaten for a while.
ok, I apologize for the noob comment. Still, you won't be able to use this modded version for metaverse games, although if you don't play metaverse, then no prob. Also there are probably various parts of the AI that you can't modify that are connected to the starbases, so you might see strange behavior even with the added range and trade bonuses because on huge and gigantic maps, there are limits to how far you can go even without starbases.
