Its been years since I last used Paypal. They did something to piss me off. I suppose this is a good time to ask for my account to be closed. I haven't felt the need to do anything about it until I heard about this. Question, would asking them to close my account be enough to solve all future problems with them or would I need to do something more?

Thanks. I expect this to be useful. It'll save me the time of doing some of this manually.

Hey. I'm looking for advice for creating a new internet username. Long story short, I'm no longer as content with using my current internet username as I once was. I feel tempted to start over with a new name. You know, try something new with a blank slate (and no previous reputation). I feel almost constrained by my reputation (or what I think it is). Likewise, I don't feel comfortable with using the same name for every website, so I'm actually considering making several new

1. No. Your planets already produces food. The food determines the limit. If you build farms, you increase the limit. Mind you, increasing the food is not always desirable as each billion more population hurts morale more than the last billion did. Having 25 billion or more citizens on a planet would make things nearly impossible to keep them happy. Not only that, but the tax revenue suffers diminishing returns so it is not really worth it. The calculations involves the square root of the cur

1. No, engines would only allow you to setup the trade route sooner. It will not do anything once the trade route is established. A trade route freighter always travels 1 parsec per turn. Always. 2. I don't know. Maybe it measures how much research you actually do. I don't consider that report very important anyways. You can be technology inferior but still win. 3. From what I understand, the length of the trade route and the population of the target world plays

I haven't used planetary governors much, but I do recall doing some tests to try to figure them out. If I recall correctly, the governors do count how many planet improvements of each type you have built. They will not build more than what is listed. If your governor has 5 advanced factories on it's build list, and you planet already has 3, then it will build no more than 2 advanced factories on that world.

Hey Frogboy, you forget a step. Ad Nauseam. Argue in such a way to exhaust and sicken the target until they become too nauseous to argue back. [quote who="UmbralAngel" reply="3" id="3494006"] Someone should make a sjw parody game. Could be fun and enlightning. [/quote] Might also be a good way to get targeted. Still, it might work. If you do get targeted, people will likely hear about that SJW parody game that made you a target.

From what I understand, he became a symbol that he didn't want to be. It came with a level of responsibility and hostility he did not expect or sign up for. This sale has come after it became too much for him. I suppose this is another warning of what this industry is like. If you do something, you might become big. If you become big then you become a focal point of for people's hopes and dreams... and the target of other people's problems.

I haven`t played for a while, so I might be a bit fuzzy on some details. The Iconians have a super ability, Super Adapters, which gives them those techs. Its very purpose to to ensure that they can colonize some kinds of extreme worlds on the first turn. The Yor get Barren worlds as part of their super ability, Super Isolationists. The Torians can research Aquatic worlds early on and cheaper too. So, there are a number of different reasons why a civ might have access to some worlds

They are only free for 48 hours. Better nab them quick.

When the disease mega event rolls around, I quickly consider who I want to beat up. This mega event negates all ability bonuses, like bonuses to weapons, defense, hit points, speed, logistics, and soldiering. This makes ships weaker, without logistics you can't make fleets (existing fleets don't automatically get disbanded), and no soldiering makes planet invasions easy. My enemy can't undo this until they research the cure. Just make sure you research the cure real fast, or you&#

I thought that talking about motive might be relevant to this discussion. If not, I can reconsider what I talk about.

You will be hated. There nothing you can really do to render yourself immune to being hated. There will always be someone who will have a reason (or find one) to hate you. You could be black and be hated by whites. You could be white and be hated by all those the white race has exploited and abused. You could be American and be hated by Muslim terrorist. You could be Muslim and be hated by Christians. You could be Jewish and be hated by Christians because you refuse to accept Chris

If I recall correctly, there once was no sensor limit. It caused serious lag issues when someone tried to push the sensor range *really* high to see the whole, or most of the, map. At least it caused that one guy serious issues. It might have been a PC problem, as my PC is powerful and doesn't have lag issues when I try to distribute sensor ships everywhere. Yes, a sensor range of 15 can be a pain, especially when ships are running around with speeds greater than 15. I don'

I was wondering if Stardock was ever going to add GalCiv 2 to the list. I've just recently downloaded them all and poked at them. I'll do more tests later, but it seems that downloading the TA version will give you all 3 versions of the game (no need to download the other installers). Unfortunately (or fortunately if it annoys you), the installer does not place shortcut icons on the desktop, so you will have to manage that yourself. The TA version includes all updates, so n

Make it good! You have my attention!

[quote who="Alstein" reply="21" id="3403418"]I'm still unhappy about Impulse being sold off to Gamestop. I understand entirely why it was done, I'm just unhappy that Gamestop had no idea what to do with Impulse after acquiring it, though I suspect many of Impulse's customers were not inclined at all to give Gamestop any chance.[/quote] I tried to give GameStop a chance, I had much invested in Impulse, but it didn't work out. I tried to pre-ordering a few produ

Its unfortunate that Impulse didn't work out. I was hoping that it would become a viable alternative to Steam. I could get into why I don't like Steam. I don't usually do so because I'm trying to be polite. I'm sure you have bigger priorities than hearing another person complain.

Once upon a time, you couldn't use spies on minor civilizations. A later patch fixed that for DA and TA.

There are gaps in the tech trees. Some of them did get patched before Stardock stopped updating GalCiv 2. I don't know them all off-hand, but I do have some examples though. The Thalans once lacked the "Space Weapons" tech, which unlocks a starbase module that is the prerequisite for most modules that starbases get for personal defense. Not only is it a prerequisite for a number of common starbase defense modules, it is also the prerequisite for the unique Thalan starbase defen

A good cop out is to go about buying technologies from other civilizations to get rid of their economic problems. The most important would be stock markets, but anything that provided economic bonuses that could be mass produced would help. The intent is to be able to fill your empty tiles with something other than charging stocks to make money. You also want morale buildings (or just morale bonuses) to better control the morale of your worlds. Morale will help you to raise your tax rate.<br

Welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Stardock support would be your best bet. However, if I recall correctly, they don't work weekends so you'll have to wait until business hours before you can expect a reply. It might also take them a few days to get around to your email. Email these guys: [email protected] Anyways, why are you asking about updates for just Dread Lords? Did you somehow get a hold of an unused copy of DL (without the expansions)? If that is the case, then the instructions on

I remember 1996. Color wasn't invented yet. Everything was in shades of grey. We couldn't tell if the sky was blue or not.

I'm fairly sure that GalCiv 3 will happen at some point. What I'm worried about is whether it will be Steam free or not. Given Stardock's recent trend in using Steam for their games (and nothing else), I fear that GalCiv 3 will require Steam.
