Yo Surther! Thank you for taking the time for the analysis. ;)
Ion Stream
Heh, heh. It runs fine on my P6 4.6 GHz with 1800 MB RAM. ;p Honest it does.
Yo, Surther. You started the thread with: "So what is the average age of a Gal Civ player." Now that you have the data, we're now waiting for the average age? :d :D
More micromanagement (MiM) **won't hurt you** if the same MiM function can be controlled with a MaM function. That way, you keep both styles of players happy. And even if there isn't a MaM function to control it, or even if there is: As for the excess resources, it is appropriate that ALL resources generated by your empire should be *utilized* by your empire. They should go to an empire wide bank account that can be distributed to your other worlds' agendas as your strategy
/Personal on I am half way to 100 about a week ago. :d /Personal off
I agree with Ion. That's my 2 sense. ;)
I too read the thread over in MOO3 land. I had a long post all ready to go, supporting Brad, and right when I clicked to post, I got a message back that I was no longer connected to the net. I hit the back button and my text was gone. 2 1/2 pages of carefully composed text gone. Anyway, what I basically said was that the person who started the thread was complaining about Gal Civ posts and was clearly allowing himself to be irritated. Then Sencho jumped on the bandwagon and began to
OK, so there is no auto researching of prerequisites. Is there a research queue that you can put serveral different items in, each being researched in the order in which they are placed?
Yea, good idea. But he will say, "Who suggested that?" I'll have to say it was "what's his buket," LOL
Thanks for the info
I don't have the game yet, but from everything I see, the answers are "yes", and "yes". Each planet has its own queue that you can MiM (Micromanage and add items). If the governor is turned on, it takes over and builds when you haven't inserted something else. If the governor is turned off, your planet will build only what you insert, and will build nothing if you do not insert and item.
Sounds like a lot of people are lurking for, err, looking for this game. :d
I'm not sure if anyone really answered this but, if you have a governor "active" for a planet, can you still manually enter an item to the planet's queue and have it built without deactivating the governor?
Geeeeeeezz. That makes about 8 de-lurkererers. And all at once too. :D The Unknown Knows said, "Sheeesh -- I had no idea this would turn into a Lurkers Anonymous meeting. " LOL OK, example from meeting: "Err, I am lurker. I've had this problem for 6 months now, and I need help. Oh, how I need help! I can't help it. My lurker addiction controls me. I even feel anxiety -- oooommmvvvv -- cause I can't control it. Oh please help me. How do I delurk? ooo
Well of course, there is always the exception, the extreme instance that can occur. Tell me when there isn't. But this .001 % extreme instance hardly outweighs the 99.999 % *benefit* that you get.
If all of this doesn't fit in one post, I'll try to add the rest in the next post. SOLUTIONS: First, I believe we need the benefit to be able to “practice” games and also the benefit to have “accurate” scores. Each of the two *benefits* need to be separate from the other. On the one hand, you want to play those games in which you just want to *learn* the nuances of the game. You want to re-play a turn to discover what *new* strategy you could have used to solve a mis
Well how about that! :D I say that I like de-lurkers and what-a-ya-know? *Three*, mind you, three de-lurk! ;) Welcome to all three of you. I like to see delurkers. I used to give away prizes to delurkers in the SSG forum. Hmmmmm...... When someone says they are "de-lurkuring", err, de-lurking, why does that remind me of being beemed down and materializing?
I like de-lurkers. Any more out there? Yes, I believe Gal Civ will be a classic.
Those who fail to learn the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them in the future. ;p
Ctrl-N, huh? OK, sounds terrific. Thanks.
Yes, yes, thank you, thank you. [Crouds cheering, pure extacy ensues.....] ;) Want another suggestion? A "Quick game" button like MOO3 has. This button makes it so you don't have to re-enter all your race picks and game settings all over again if you don't like your galaxy starting position. You just hit the quick game button and it simply generates a new galaxy without having the toil of re-entering all your setup choices. (Frankly, I really think MO
I agree with what your saying. If people were dissatisfied for whatever reason, they should make suggestions, use objectivity :notsure: , and constructive critisisms, instead of going off half-cocked, making short sighted or shallow flames and such. (:( I got tired of seeing it at the MOO site too. It made me want to leave. Hostility is a big turn-off. It made me feel like telling all the flamers to "keep their pants on." Sheeez. I haven't used that cliche for so many years.
But don't get me wrong. I too wish them the best. I hope the patches will put the strategy elements back in the game that they took out as they put so much focus on "streamlining" the game.
Quote: "Well, I think it is in poor taste to go on another company's website and pump another game." Actually, that is what "off topic" forums are for. MOO3 has one. I'm sure it might be a little irritating for "some" on the dev team in the company, but they know that if they try to stop people from being objective, effectively censuring people, they know that won't help them.
