First of all, I'd like to say that Out of Eight is one of my favourite review websites and that Galciv2 is a game that I consider among the best of its genre, so take what follows the right way, since this may be just a critic for the world of game reviews in its entirety. Although I'm generally fond of James reviews, the Twilight of the Arnor one seemed a bit too focused on the good points, but maybe because he honestly didn't notice all the bugs, or didn't notice that the game shipped

Thanks Loup, you've been very kind in answering me :) Sending karma your way! :)

[quote]13/11 or such isn't weird. --- So it'll go 1/11, 5/11, 9/11, 13/11.[/quote] LOL @ "isn't weird" It's perfectly clear to me WHY this happens (regen overflowing) but my question stands: is this a bug or a feature? LOL And which is the "real" HP then? 13 or 11? If the max HP is 11 how can be 13? Sorry if I consider your answer unsatisfactory, but honestly, unless I am missing something, which probably is the case, I can't fathom a scenario where "13/11" isn't weir

[quote]Are you sure it didn't go from 1/12 to 5/16?[/quote] Yes I am. Furthermore, there wasn't a single turn between the two fights: e.g. I attacked, enemy ship is at 1/12, then I checked back after the combat (still my turn) and the enemy ship's HP was 5/12. O_o Furthermore, I constantly see numbers like 13/11 HP on ships in orbit around planets. Isn't this, like, weird? :D [IMG]http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/9515/senzanomejl5.jpg[/IMG]

Thanks a lot, yes I had read about minor races but didn't think about it in regards to the DL. Anyway, There's something about combat that still eludes me though. There was this DL ship that had 1/12 HP. I attack it, the DL ship wins the combat and!? its HP go to 5! 5/12! from 1/12! How is that possible? Did they transform my beams in HEALING ENERGY!??! :D

Yes I did notice they were not invicible, but they sure look VERY powerful... Just wanted to make sure everything was all right :D I asked because their behaviour was strange... e.g. 1) So far they kept to their planet (without colonizing at all) 2) They started launching attacks on me after I attacked them although we are supposedly in war status since the first turn, so why not earlier? 2) They are not present in the "stats" screens.

I don't know if this is a very small spoiler so if you didn't play the first mission of the TA campaign I'd suggest you don't go on reading. With this out of the way, I'd like to know if it is normal that the Dread Lords player has got ships with 158 attack on aug 2227 (and presumably even much earlier) second: To win the mission I have to eliminate both the Korath and the Dread Lords? Thanks.
