Hello, I spent the better part of about 6 to 8 hours watching some "let's play" videos on Gal Civ II Dreadlords to try to get an idea for how certain things function in the game. One of my questions however is money. Am I correct that money for my empire only comes through: 1. Taxing my population 2. Trade between myself and the AI 3. Someplace else that I can't remember. For some reason I thought it came from
Hi, Is there someplace central where people share their ship designs? I make good looking ships but non functional since I've never really gotten into the game but would like to start doing so soon, so I thought if there is someplace where people share their ships I could study the design of them to see how to make a functional ship out of my asthetically pleasing ships. Thanks,
What? I don't even...
Interesting, when i colonize a planet, I immediately plop a building on each site and let them build as time marches on, I guess I better stop doing that. But I figured that's the way that I make coin in the game (you see I know nothing about the game really), and thought that having those factories or research buildings or movie theaters or some other social buildng there would attract people to the planet who would pay their taxes etc.
Ah, thank you, so simply fly another constructor into the starbase and choose what it's going to be as a module. Great, I would never have thought to do that. Much appreciated.
I've played city building games for a long long time as well as economical simulations and have always accelled at playing them but with Gal Civ 2 (twilight or otherwise) it's just a constant adjustment of the taxes and other economic sliders to try to at least keep +1 coming in. Im sure I must be doing something wrong because I can't imagine any game that would cause me to constantly have to adjust taxes or my expenditures. Any clues?
I've put out a starbase (financial I believe) when I look at it on the screen, it says 2 modules available. What are these, and how do I build them? Thanks,
FIXED! I don't know why this fixed it but it did.... I plugged in the mouse that I normally use for my laptop which is a microsoft (USB) Notebook 3000 mouse (but didn't actually get around to trying to use it with the game) and then when I used the scroll wheel on my regular Microsoft Natural mouse it's smooth and fluent and doesn't need any excess scrolling to work. I then unplugged the laptops notebook usb mouse from my desktop and my regular mouse continues to work properly
Is there some sort of good rule of thumb on what to build on a planet? If there is a bonus tile and I have the possibility then I'll build the corresponding building on that tile, but the rest of the tiles Im left guessing on what to best build there. Help appreciated.
Even with the game setting to maximum zoom speed it's like it doesn't "catch" when trying to zoom in and out, this mouse is a smooth scroll wheel unlike my old mice that were knotch type of scroll wheels and I have to wonder if that is an issue with GalCiv2 and or TotA? It's really quite annoying to be honest to have to scroll the mouse wheel many many times very fast to get it to catch and start to zoom in or out, I'd sure like to see it zoom in and out smoothly with minimal scroll effort on m
[quote]Even if you have the normal desktop resolution and the game screen fills up the monitor, it still is 'windowed' - e.g. you can switch to other stuff on your second monitor without TA minimising.[/quote] Thanks, I've been running in SLI for so long now and that even though I don't think that TotA really benefits from it, I've never thought about turning it off (Nvidia problem) so that I could turn back on my 2nd LED monitor sitting next to my widescreen, however since you've b
I've tried to play Gal Civ over the years but it never interested me, however now that I have TotA Im quite interested in the game and enjoying learning to understand at least a little as to how it works. Todays Question: Every now and then I get a pop up message about some other race producing something that might be likened to a Galactic Wonder. How are they building these? Should I be concentrating on building any of them myself? Tha
