great RPG is Mount and Blade, its in its last beta stage (the game was open to beta from day 1 pretty much, and they updated it based on what the fans etc said, also the price scaled when you bought it so if you bought it near the start you payed less) but its hard to explain, but theres a free demo up to level 6 or 8 (i forget) and a great mod selection, its set in the medieval period-ish) just try it, trust me its damn addicitive!! www.taleworlds.com

Wow, that sounds rather unfair, just seem to be blanketing every PC gamer as a criminal. Thanks for the response btw.

It makes a massive difference. Tech trees with massive holes big enough to drive a Terror Star through still work fine when you can plug them with somebody else's technology. Othe

Recently i've been hearing a lot about DRMs and 3 time something or other in respect to EA and Mass Effect/Spore and i was just wondering if someone could explain to me what exactly is going on, as there seems to be a lot of negative things being said about EA at the moment (well, i guess there always was, but theres more now).

hmm, thats an odd one, im using Vista and i dont relly have any problems (only the odd crash) I no it may sound obvoius but are you totally updated, with Vista and graphics card drivers? if not run in admin. mode? sorry i can't be of any more help.

Neutral has the neutrality learning centres which are awesome, (best research centre IRC), and also some trade bonuses and extra trade routes.

dunno when it'll end tbh, but its gone a bit downhill recently, i think they should bring back Futurama!

yeah i find this annoying too, now i just use some rally points and the 'T' key to send ships there, its not perfect but it helps, but would be nice if this could be fixed.

The Thalans also get a few galactic wonders from the start, which give a real boost to production on the home planet, when i play as them i just pump out colony ships (not much else to build in early game with Thalans) for ages.

Fox News admits that it is infact just a tool of propoganda for the right wing. On a related note The Sun (A UK newpaper) admits that their earlier claims that if one more foriegner enters Britain, we'll sink, were lies.

yeah i just use a fleet of constructors, but i was kinda hoping for a bit more glitzy solar system destruction, like an event movie, or one of those pics each time it happens.

Mightygoobi, i don't suppose you could do the translation for Great Britain could you?

ok thanks for the help, ill post if i get any results.

no? not even in, like, a xeno ethics way?

Hi, i was thinking of making a kinda new government branch to split off from the interstellar govs. bit, so on the on hand you have star rep, democracy etc etc, and on the other i was thinking of having a socialist branch, i was thinking of a split which means you can only chose one branch, and then also to have a kind of xeno ethics screen with like war communism, international marxism, and reactionary marxism, (or something like that i havent quite figured it out yet), however the

An early game strategy i use is to lower taxes until approval is 100% (on all planets, cos the homeplanet will have a higher pop. so more effect in the average) then i just buy my first factory on my homeplanet and set the investment slider quite high, (but not -ruin the economy in 2 turns high) then i just colonise, and military prod. focus on homeplanet churning out colony ships, in this way the pop. massively rises so that it get less hard later on, then i tend to concentrate on the first few

no not with logos or pics,

bump

it does, if u say ask for money or whatever, sometimes if you have changed alignment or something else big then they'll cancel the alliance

ok i wasnt really sure where to put this so... Anyway i changed some of the tunes for my own, but the problem is, is that at the moment im in a war, and it just plays the same song OVER and OVER, its damn frustrating, so i was wondering, why is this? there are 2 other war music files (ive triple checked their names), so why wont they play, is it because of the stage of the war or...? also don't know if this helps but i changed the music directory directly, i didnt use the mod folder.<br

heres mine, sporting the galciv theme. "/>

nice story, i like reading them, btw 'and my agents inform me that the Iconians are destablizing me. I crank up propoganda spending to keep my people happy.' i didnt think destabalization was in GC2, or propganda spending, is this dramatisation or...???
