Ok, that worked. I attached it to the data folder and everything and it works perfectly now. Thanks Rev!

I am using TOA. And yes, I do have matching requirments. But it still does not appear to be working. I'll post again after I've done some more testing.

So, I've been working on my new tech tree. But I can't figure out which folder to attach the edited Planetary improvements to. I've checked that they're linked to the right techs and everything but every time I start the game the techs that are supposed to unlock my new buildings are lacking the buildings. Guidance? </

The use of spies enables you to steal technology. But seriously, it costs way too much and takes way too long and you don't even know which tech you're going to get. TOA really was a disappointment...I've been working on a new tech tree...for weeks...and I'm about sick of it. It's working, but it's just so mind numbing. And plus, if you don't like the way your civ is or you want a new custom civ you have to spend just as much time creating an entirely new tree. But that's beside the poin

So, the message I'm getting from this, is that I should just take the original tech tree and copy the IDs onto a new tree and then eliminate/add/modify the stock one however I want... I shouldn't try and make a totally new tree. Where do I put the new tree? I've seen a lot of people who've had trouble with that. And also what process do you go through to edit XML? General Pants' Political Parties mod is a little over powered for me >_>

After working on it for 3 hours my head is ready to explode. Im really sick of playing the TOrian stock tree but Im having way more trouble devving my own tree

Yeah, theyre sort of a super minor race >_> They pop up randomly with insane ships and pester you periodically. Not really all that big of a deal. More of pain then problem.

If you bought either expansion (not sure if it was implemented in ToA or DA) it should give you the option "Declare War" in the diplomatic relations screen with any given nation's representative. If not, build a ship, attack them. Or preferably, build LOTS of troop transports and park them on your rim worlds. THEN declare war.

I feel ya mate... But that's strange considering I've seen some pretty raunchy, racist and foul bios in that game...and these are from some of the Top 100 players in EVE. Theyre still there. Plus, with this being possibly the most monotonous RPG ever to exist in the history of mankind, you would expect GMs to have gone nuts sooner. I dunno, maybe the GM who banned you was bored since he had already trashed some noobz out in .1 security zones and arranged all 3 of his mining bot alts alr

Tentative boost >_>

Can anyone give me a link to a comprehensive guide on using the two editors to fully customize your civ? Or a runthrough or something? I'm having trouble getting my head around the tech editor and attaching new improvements to techs. In my opinion, if this game had a simple "Cut n' Paste" or a click and drag tech tree creator, it would perfect this game. There's nothing else I would add (that I can't get from mods.)

Aaaah I see. I've been auto-launching from a desktop icon. This also answers the question of where the heck are the tech tree editors are :D Thanks a lot!

When I bought the game I kinda was under the impression it had a map editor... I recently bought quite a few games and I'm wondering if I got mixed up but I was almost positive that TotA had a map editor...but I can't find it on the menus... So... Am I deranged? Or is the map editor just hard to find?

The computer in general builds nonsensical buildings and sometimes on the worst tiles. I conquered a planet that had a a research facility on a 700% Industry bonus tile...Really, it all depends on what intelligence the AI is set to.

I think I just figured out the problem...Does it make a difference that I never registered the original copy? I had forgotten that the copy I'm playing is one of my friends that he let me borrow. Am I going to have to buy my own copy of the original?

I just now bought the expansion bundle for GalCiv2 but I'm having a lot of trouble. I can't seem to figure out how to ge tthe expansions working. It sent me the regkeys but I have no idea what to do with them or how to get the expansion content onto my PC. I would appreciate a little instruction please.
