I've had starbases take on frigites by themselves. Now, granted I tend to play on nomral, I feel that if you don't like them then don't build them. But then you can't flip an opposoing planet. Besides, having a fleet(even if only a few ships) nearby as a backup is just commen sense. -Spencer Eh starbases are useful, we just think they shou
i would delete some temporary files from disk clean up because restarting your computer does not clean your page file. i would also check if your ram cards are the same megahertz of speed because mixing diffrent speeds could slow your computer down, other than that i dont know wat to tell you Just 0o...I'm going to stop replying. <img src="http:/
And thus the metaverse tables are tipped. He said 0 points. =0 It would actually decrease your metaverse score!
Ya...but I'm not convinced several times the number of ships moving to my rally points isn't going to slow down turn processing even more. And since it only takes full advantage of 1 core...even with the better AI drawing on the 2nd core the turn processing will just take too long for meh. As it is, mid/late game it takes several minutes to process a turn and as far as I can tell the big resource hog is rallying all your ships. Dragging that out (and thereby increasing the number of ships) would
WHATS WRONG WITH THAT IF YOU ONLY HAVE 512MB OF RAM AND YOU DONT WANT YOUR GAME TO CRASH BECAUSE YOUR PAGING FILE IS TO SMALL, SOMEONE OBVIUSLY DOESNT HAVE THAT MUCH RAM OR THEY HAVENT DEFRAGMENTED THERE DRIVE, YOU ACT LIKE YOU CANT GET THAT 4GIGS BACK The game is crashing on me with 4GB worth of Paging file and another 4GB of RAM. I don't think
I'm currently running an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.4GHz with a GeForce 7600GT. I suggest that if you haven't had literally 10,000 ships simultaneously on auto pilot (I have) then I respectively submit that you don't know what you're talking about. Quoted for truth. But ya, the engine thing + gigantic maps have really killed any inte
ITS CALLED PAGING FILE YOU NEED TO EXPAND YOUR PAGING FILE SO YOU DONT RUN OUT OF VIRTUAL MEMORY GO TO MY COMPUTER ,CONTROL PANEL, SYSTEM, ADVANCE, PERFORMANCE SETTINGS,ADVANCE AND CHANGE, THERE YOU COULD EXPAND YOUR VIRTUAL MEMEORY OR JUST DEFRAGMENT YOUR HARD DRIVE Your honestly telling us it's reasonable for it to consume most of 4GB and a 4GB
Except that the enemy tends to attack starbases with small ships or small fleets. I've had bases take down entire fleets by themselves on more than one occasion. I mean, they get the speical weapons(sub-space cannon ro whatever that gives it +7 beam) to fight with PLUS the module that adds +1 to all attack scores. They are able to handle themselves if you use them correctl
That doesn't work...and yes I did try it.
Well if it comes to you let me know. I tend to like Gigantic with lots of small/tiny sized ships so I end up with 4-10min turn processing once I hit year 6-7 and have a hundred or two colonies spewing the suckers out.
You could try having GalCiv run in a window and move it out of the way while you view the forum page. That way you can keep the game 'active' while reading the forum. Of course the game would go 'inactive' whenever you needed to scroll or click in the forum... Which is pretty often =0 Oh well.
Eh, if it uses the full processing power it should help at laest. =0
I've got a dual core processor...and mid/end game (6-7+) I'm producing enough ships and rallying it takes a decent length of time for it to process (since it only runs in a single thread and the other processor sits idle). So I'd like to be able to read forums while waiting for a turn to process but can't since the turn stops processing if I switch the focus to another application.
Sometimes, Asharlin, removing population from a planet can be a good thing. Sending a load of unhappy campers to a new world will lower the hit on your morale/approval, which will both boost the rate of your population growth (more campers), and allow you to inch up your rate of taxation. Yes, but with my play style that is never true. It'
There really haven't been any major (i.e. multi-megabyte) memory leaks in the game. A memory leak is defined as a memory allocation that is then lost to the game. It is absolutely normal, however, for the game to use more memory as time goes on -- as you design more ships adn the AI designs more ships memory use will grow. Then why if you
Hi folks, I'm new to the game (just finished my fourth or fifth time through). I've noticed that my economy tends to go into a tailspin during wartime, usually crashing me to zero spending at exactly the worst time. Any suggestions on how to avoid this? I'm not entirely sure what the problem is. Some possibilities that have occured to me: * maintenance on ships getting
Steps for high tax rates: 2 Morale Buildings per Farm (if you have a PQ 25+ planet and go for 3-4 farms you'll need 3*farms) Neutral Ethical Alignment ---- At the end of the tech tree you can sit at 80% tax rate without any issues. In the game I'm playing now (Gigantic) I've got 86% approval (which will drop to 6% if I go to 81% taxes). Of course, finishing the tech tree on anything other than Very Fast tech rates is unusual. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_D
Personally, I love Pax Imperia's space battles Proper fleet mixes or your doomed. GCII, you just mass ships which have defense stats matching the target's weapon stats and weapon stats which are of the weakest ship defense the target uses. Boring =0
So let me get this straight. If you play a custom race, then all 9 core races are in the game as well? Exactly.
I just use the custom race because I like having 9 AI opponents as opposed to 8. It makes tech trade whoring easier. =0 I build 1 lab the entire game...ftw.
Also be sure to create all your freighters on a single planet...this makes it alot easier to setup the econ bases.
Just a suggestion...play a couple games on your metaverse character before trying to recruit for your empire. Otherwise, people may wonder if your going to just drop off the face of the earth tomorrow. Or maybe that's just meh =0
I'd just play a Medium on Normal and mess with it. =0 But I play only TBS/RTS type games so I may pick it up faster than most people.
More like impossible for the AI to kill...(my ships travel at 3-4x the AI warship speeds usually). =0
