@ KP: Thanks for the reply. It's much appreciated. I think that everything will be renewed anyway when GalCiv3 or New Frontiers comes out, but this game deserves it, too. As for Mumble beating me out as King of Long-Winded Posts - of course he beats me! That guy has more posts then the number of days I've been alive, and I've been alive for a reasonable amount of time. In the ToE thread, I said that I'm the king if you don't include Mumble or Kryo. Thanks again. Best Regards. @ Seth:
I agree with you KP. I still made my post because it might be what renews the passion for the game in a few players, and, for me, that's all that really matters. This is really an awesome game, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it, either. Thanks KP. Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
Hey guys: I've done it! I've created my 1st installment of my plan to renew the passion for GalCiv2. The post is named (fittingly) - A Call to Action - Renew Your Passion. If you guys have any suggestions on how to make my campaign go even better, feel free to chime in. BTW -
This is it. This is the post that I hope will jumpstart not only the Forums, but also the Metaverse and every gamers interest in Galactic Civilizations II. Please take the time to read it entirely - I can guarantee that most of you will find your passion for GalCiv2 renewed with a great vigor.[e digicons]:grin:[/e] I have been thinking l
@ dystopic (and everyone else who's reading this): Don't worry - maybe saying "drastic" action was a poor choice of words. I'm not going to say anything bad about SD. Personally, even though I don't approve of some of the things that they have done, I must say that we owe it to them for making Galactic Civilizations. I also don't think m
Heheh. Seth - if I could do that, believe me, I would. But I am not quite that smart (yet). Hacking the forums actually did come to mind, but there's that whole issue of hacking being illegal in most parts of the civilised world, and as I said before, I don't know how. BTW - Did Brad say when this GalCiv3 game would make its debut, or is it still in
[quote who="Emperor_Seth" reply="19" id="2003144"] Oh yeah, Brad said. [/quote] That's cool, though I doubt they will get it out any time soon. BTW - I'm curious as to what you think I will do, Seth. Yes, I am obviously going to make a post, but I'm going to take it a little further then that. Let me put it to you this way - I am g
[quote who="Emperor_Seth" reply="17" id="2003133"] New Frontiers is a fan exspansion pack and Galciv 3 is the official Galciv sequel. [/quote] Do we know for sure that SD will actually make a GalCiv3?
Now for a not-so-serious post: I have heard alot about a GalCiv3. Is GalCiv3 the same as New Frontiers, or is it something completely different? ~ Cypher ~
@ Everyone who reads this thread: I've been thinking long and hard today about the current state of the forums, the Metaverse, and the interest of gamers in Galactic Civilizations II. Here's what my thinking has showed me: Galactic Civilizations II is losing popularity and it is losing its dedicated fan-support. Something has to change. As I mentioned earlier, th
[quote who="Loupdinour" reply="9" id="2003051"] That would be a player, I-Mod Stefan. [/quote] Well, if that's the case, I-Mod Stefan should get a move on things.
I know that's what you meant. Don't get me wrong - TA is awesome. It just seems like alot of the strategies that players used for DL and DA got ripped to shreds by TA. I still love the game, though. BTW - you're right - the forum's updates were pointless. ~ Cypher ~
Hey guys. I'm just curious on how the Raiders feel about the Tyranny of Evil? Are they your ally, enemy, or just kind of neutral? BTW - your empire looks pretty cool DSep - nice work! Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
I think it can be said that it is the result of neglect and too many pointless updates. I mean, seriously - the SDC crew basically killed every good strategy that was developed in DL and DA with their updates and with TA. That may have been what turned many of the senior players off of the game. Good point Seth. ~ Cypher ~
I'm not gonna lie - this page is gettin more and more depressing every time I check it. Most of you guys seem to think that the GalCiv2 craze is over. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe this is just like the US economy? It used to be really good, but now it sucks really bad. However, it'll eventually come around, and I hope the MV and forums (and the overall love of the game) will come back around, too. Stardock or

I think your approval problem, by the looks of things, is coming from overcrowding. How high are you keeping your population? Your best planets should be anywhere between 16B and 20B people - the rest should only be from 12B to 16B. Your approval takes a gigantic penalty when there is overcrowding. Try destroying some of your farms. That will lower your population a little. If population isn't a problem, then I'm not sure
@ antracer - I totally agree with you. It would be WAY easier to have a decent border system. A major reason for this is that I get incredibly ticked off when I see that the AI is moving dozens of its military ships through my space. I also get really ticked when an insignificant AI decides to go and build starbases in my territory, or when the Thalans build ten economy starbases around my home planet's sy
@galacticdoom - You're definitely right. The Altarians have wicked PQ boosters. However, the Drath also get the Biosphere Modulator as well. I'm not sure if they get the Paradise Worlds tech, though. You can only get that tech once you align Good with the Altarians. I think it raises the PQ of every world you have by +10%. I know that the highest class that I've ever gotten was a PQ 40 world - needless to say that is ridic
Hey lethstang - I think you'll enjoy playing with the Altarians quite a bit considering that they have almost the exact same Tech tree as the Drath, apart from War Profiteering. The difference is that the Altarians, if played correctly, have the potential to absolutely crush the AI in the Research department. However, like everyone else s
Yeah. I hardly ever have a game where an evil race expands beyond their home system. Ironically, the only evil civ that ever seems to leave home is the Korx. Ahhh... the irony.
