I have an opinion on this, but since I don't feel like discussing it on these boards I'll just say if any of the Dixie Chicks need a place to crash, they're more than welcome in my house. The same invitation is open to Shania Twain, Natalie Portman, Gillian Anderson, and Linsey Dawn McKensie. /drool

I can't guarantee it will work. You might want to make sure you wipe the directories after unintalls, too. Plus don't run Stardock until after you've patched to 1.02... Believe me, I was surprised when it fixed the problem. Worst case scenario is that you'll just have to stick to 1.02 at work. Not too terrible a fate. :)
Paguma, I had this problem as well. This is what I did: 1) Uninstall GalCiv 2) Uninstall Stardock Central 3) Reinstall Galciv 4) Reinstall Stardock Central 5) Manually download and install the v1.02 patch & bonus pack from the Downloads section of this site 6) Reboot 7) Run Stardock Central and it should now be able to update GalCiv to 1.03A I don't know why this fixed the problem for me... but it did!
I hate moving my capital, but it's for purely "roleplaying" reasons. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this... at least I hope so. LOL
I just can't help myself! LOL /geek
Thanks for the answers! :D
I don't mean the resource mining upgrades, I mean the soc/mil mining upgrades.
cunfused=confused... Bleh, I have a cold and am doped up. :p
Do the mining (social & military) upgrades give their bonuses to all planets in the sector, or just planets to which they're directly adjacent? I'm a little cunfused because the description of the economic upgrade that adds to social and military production specifically says it's a sector-wide benefit, whereas the mining upgrades do not, as far as I can see.
Personally I'd just be happy with a hotseat option. Oh, and I agree that the major factor working against MOO3, re: finding a MP game, is NOT the genre. It's the fact that the game isn't very good yet.
Ok, I'm out of the loop obviously -- what's this about ships going outside of their range and Angelina Jolie?
The straight-up MOO3/GalCiv thread on the MOO3 boards was actually doing quite well, as far as thoughtful discussion goes. Though it's getting a little snippy at the end because someone's falling into the usual 'don't like? don't post!' routine. http://www.ina-community.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=285738&perpage=30&pagenumber=2
I'm also all for this! :)
I am officially amused by the irony. :)
Wrath of Dog -- Read the book series about the Eugenics Wars (currently book one and two are available). Little did you realize that the Eugenics Wars have already begun!
Am I the only person who has encountered this problem?
I remember playing through an entire game of SimEarth when I was young, and I felt pretty darn proud when my people packed into spaceships and left the planet as a nature preserve. For some reason my Mom didn't express the appropriate amount of awe at my monumental accomplishment. ;p
Yikes! I just read through that entire Avault thread... hot stuff! :D
Just an added note, I've tried updating a few times and it always seems to have trouble in the same spot.
Previously, I've had no trouble updating the game using SDC. This morning, however, I've run into the following problem, which could be related to the new version of SDC, or GalCiv, or a combo: -- [Installation] --------------------------------------------------- Downloading: C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\data\public\gc1\production\gc1.xml Result: Success Loading: C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\data\public\gc1\production\gc1.xml Result: Success Loading:
My best friend and I wish there was a hotseat option. That's the only MP option I miss not seeing in this game.
Rush buying planet quality improvements (on newly colonized 13's and 14's) is also extremely important, especially if the I-League exists in the game.
Wow, you did an impressive job there! Kudos! :D
I've been getting my normal dose of sleep, but since I work from home let me just say that a fair bit of my daytime productivity is highlighted by planetary invasions. ;p
Help! There are giant squids in the oceans of three of my worlds! Their vast squiddiness is frightening my people! We are requesting an emergency shipment of batter so as to create a Calamari Production Facility! Also, if someone has researched the Red Lobser Franchise tech, we would be willing to pay 1500bc for it! Help us, before it is too late!!!
