is it possible in any version of the game to create say a human only universe, with multiple empires, or is it just one empire per race? garrett

has that high maint. initial colony always been there. it never got me at all till i patched to 1.8

i dont remember noticing the initial colony and its maintenance before 1.8 but now it seems to really stifle the colony grab, at least for me. so, how exactly does it work? how and when does it become not initial and high maintenance? thanks garrett

i thought these techs gave you 50% of the tiles for improvements that the class suggests, and advanced gave you the number based on class. at least thats what ive noticed

did anyone else notice colony module capacity is 250 instead of 500? or is that just mine? thanks garrett

ok i got it to work i guess i was a fool for thinking the update game option was an automatic link. i didnt realize i had to go from news to my games and update with the dark avatar 1.8 link. its updated now though its gonna be weird playing with the buffed morale improvements. itll make the early game almost too easy for me. i got in a rythm with morale and still making money(no exploits), now i wont need to worry or even think about it early. i guess it will be a differe

i only play on dark avatar. but when i switch chapters and hit play it still says 1.5 am i doing something wrong or missing something?

it still isnt working. i do it from the main menu each chapter and it doesnt show any updates at all

[quote]Be sure to select DA (under 'expansions'). For DL, 1.5 is indeed the newest version, only DA is patched to 1.8[/quote] i guess i assumed since i had gold it would do that itself. ill try that next time i get a chance thanks

[quote]The best way is to use Stardock Central. It does a pretty good job of finding the right updates and getting them installed. Worked on my gold edition anyway. Be sure and download the gold edition extras if you aren't going to buy the expansions. I've been told they are in the new ones anyway, but not sure on that.[/quote] that's whats not working, stardock central. it says i have 1.5 and that is the latest availabe. is there a way to patch otherwise? garrett

[quote]The boni stack - those so-called 'starbase arrays' (usually military) are key in long, ultrahigh scoring games.[/quote] so, does that mean these starbases should be around the planet? their description says the route gets the bonus if it, and therefore the freighter moves thru it, if thats not the case than how exactly does it work? thanks garrett ps i meant to quote the post below this saying the bonus only occurs when the ship moves thru the area

i have and love galciv2 gold edition but it seems to be stuck on 1.5 and i would like to patch to 1.8, but when i click on update it lists my curent version and what's available. but according to it 1.5 is the latest version. so can gold be patched higher than 1.5? if so, how? thanks garrett
