Reply to Simple question...I hope. in Twilight of the Arnor Stardock Forums

Exellent answer, I took a look at a save I made prior to the onset of war and checked their stats screen, (my espionage level for them is maxed). As suggested their weapons have a 75% boost and their defences an 80% boost. I also checked and they have at least one Millitary resorce being mined. I'm not very good with math but it looks as though this is part of my problem. I do have miniturazation maxed out on the tech tree, as well as Mass Driver weapons (almost) and Missle we

Thanks for the reply LTjim, I cant see if they have any red bases...although of course ALL the usefull resources were taken by the time I had colonized my third planet. (I know, I know...I could just rush buy colony ships and build only factories or whatever...just seems to take away from the gameplay for me). Also, by the time I'm ready to go to war...my fully upgraded starbases are blown away in 2 or three shots by the enemy. (after spending a fortune in time and money getti

Simple question...I hope. in Twilight of the Arnor Stardock Forums

I cant fiqure this out. I'm playing against the Yor. And they have researched all the way to the Doom Ray. They have no other offensive capability at the moment. They have no defences to speak of. I have completed all research on beam defences and have huge capital ships maxed out on Beam protection and Im getting aniliated by the Doom rays of the Yor. </p

OK, fair enough. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Using Minor race ship styles? in Twilight of the Arnor Stardock Forums

I've noticed that the minor races aprear to have their own style of ships...some are pretty neat looking. Is there any way to mod the game to allow the player to be able to use these styles? thanks.

Reply to Fog of war in Twilight of the Arnor Stardock Forums

I USUALLY use the "clear fog of war" cheat, as I am only hamstringing myself if I do not. IMHO, Taliesin is right...(and I belive there are post on here to back it up)...that the AI is not hampered (in any way) by the fog of war. I could be wrong though. There may be some coding that keeps the human races from "seeing" which planets are "valuable" and which are not...I think the human races are the only ones stuck looking all over for habitable planets...all th

Thanks for the response. I have run chkdsk /f and /x and found no errors. I have re-formated my entire HD and re-installed Win XP pro, without SP3, and still getting crashes. I just purchased an upgraded power supply (585W 38 amps across 2 rails 17amp,16amp respctfully). new Nvidia AGP graphics card (supposed to be the best AGP card you can buy). Just paid to have my system completly check out for problems...$65.00 Nothing... Headache priceless. Sent debug to stardock 3 weeks ago...stil

[quote who="Marvin Kosh" reply="5" id="1858252"]Auto Attack is a great idea in theory. Your ships kill enemy ships without requiring intervention from you. However in practise, it's better to stick them in Guard mode and if an enemy ship or fleet gets too close then they'll become selectable with the Tab key.I guess though that I'm wasting my time even replying.[/quote] Nah, just had a bad weekend. Im using your Idea more now. Now I've got this to worry about.

Reply to Campaigns in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Well thats why I dont play campaigns anymore. However, Random maps have other problems. AI colonizing 30 planets in first 6 weeks? My economy wont support 3. I dont get it. Unless there not building anything on thoese planets. Then whats the point? If I could get past the game crashes I guess I could just attack and take all their planets...again if the ()&*#$(*& game wouldnt crash every half hour.

Reply to Auto Attack in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Well, cant say the support here has dissapointed me. Not after spending $400.00 in the last 3 months to get all the various parts of my computer up beyond whats required by this game. ( not to mention the cost of DL, DA, and TOA) Just wanted to make sure it wasnt my computer causing the problems. WELL, IM SURE! These games must have gone through at least 30 min's of beta testing. Cuz, if ANYBODY would have tested these games for more than an hour they would have been looking for the X

Well, its back! The same ole auto-attack bug. This time its with TOA- Latest version. as of August 31st 2008, and at the rate the support for this product moves along my computer will be an antique before I find the cause...or at least the cause is admited too. This is the only forum where people actually do respond and its like watching hair grow. On all the other forums I've found; you can go to lunch and catch a movie before you get to the next page and raise grandchildren before you'll se

Thanks for the info, at least I know Im not going crazy...just yet. I just downloaded DA and TOA and now my game crashes after about 20 or so turns. -OH JOY!

Help, Ive searched, and searched, and searched again...for days...and I cant find any answer to why my auto attacking ships all suddenly go to some arbitrary point in space and turn off auto attack. For some strange reason they decide to meet at some point and quit moving. Ive found that if I manually move them individually or as a fleet they will SOMETIMES restart to attack...(after Ive given them the auto attack order AGAIN). But
