Xenoti...it indeed works in UE. You need to specify DL, DA or TA with a shortcut (see Syanis post). My path for DA is: "C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Galactic Civilizations II - Ultimate Edition\DarkAvatar\GC2DarkAvatar.exe" cheat

Welcome to the forums. This problem is usually caused by a ship with remainding movement points not moving. Select the Find key or Tab and manually direct the ship. It can happen multiple times in a turn, so just repeat.

Ahh, the out of memory saga. The story goes GCII is limited to 2GB memory (as are other 32 bit applications...don't know why MS and a mulitude of geeks say 32 bit has a 4GB limit). Your video card must also be considered. The tricks are those you know...disable video features...reload after upgrade but before save...disable other apps...anything to reduce memory usage. Map size and number of planets is obvious. But, in my experience the posture of ships is impo

I haven't tried yet, could save a lot ot time. I view this the key to string build planets. DA, eh. May the map gods grant you 750 planets....and 12 mil resources.

I can only assume your'e refering to resouce starbases. My experience is to defend with ships. No starbase is defensivable on it't own. Remember the AI is more or less in the same position.

Yeah, you have and it is. It is also something I have never read on the forums or thought to do so. My bad. Neither does it explain why KP has the gold. How many against one? I personally have nothing to do with the standings nor does any other individual. Scoreboard. DA, you're a good Man and player. Had to say what I said.

RH.............Don't think SD would object to something that makes their game better. This definitely does. Using a very simple macro coded with the AutoRecorder I saved an hour in one turn. OK, whatever you say, you're not a scholar or a gentleman. [e digicons]}:)[/e]

[quote who="LTjim" reply="3" id="2365443"] Early in a game, even if you have huge research, you can get only the number of advances equal to your colony count plus one, IIRC.[/quote] Had not read that before. Kudos. I tested to validate. With XLab 2 planets are enough to go through required techs in Year Zero. Tech production carries to subsequent turns and you "catch up" at the end of targeted tech. With XFac you of course need planets.
