It saves ships to wrong folder, I fixed it on my exe, but yeah, Stardock said they would fix it ST How did you fix it? OOps just saw Codecritters comment. Nevermind.

I also aways try to invade the world with a full fleet, although I don't think it makes much difference in the late game

I like to use a maxed out fleet full of 2000 troop transports to invade. With a massive enemy population I may send in a 500 or 1000 troop single transport using mass driver support to soften them up before my main invasion force. I may use mini-soldiers if I have a bunch of money and am unsure of my odds, like on the first assault on a new empire. If their morale sucks, I use info warfare to grab more troops. Often I don't use up a transport with info warfare. <

Sigh

. reported a bug and contributed to a better world! Diamond Geezer, Yeah I like that warm and fuzzy glow of contributing too. I feel like a proud parent when I see one of my bugs or bitches included in a Frogboy change list for a beta. Stardock has been the only software company I have ever seen that has taken f

Actually, current way is very unrealistic and "gamey", a way to artificially spoil victory for someone (reducing joy element instead of increasing it), without some common sense. Why would your friend accept surrenter of your enemy if he knew it would lead to bad relations or even war? I like to think of it as a faction o

That occured in 1.12.009 where some games started under 1.11 and continued under 1.2.009 were flagged as cheating. This has been fixed in the new version of the Beta that should be released today according to Carielf from Stardock. Normally, If you save a game and then reload it, it is not officially flagged as cheating. But if you do it just to avoid or change a result you didn't like, most people would consider that cheeeeeeeeesy. You gotta live with yoursel

had the same sort of thing happen to be when I bought/traded for alien ships in a 1.11 game. I was gifted Totain and Korz medium cruisers. I then later upgraded those allen designs to an upgraded medium ship design of my own which had some SD jewelry. All of the alien ships converted to my new upgraded ship class , but all the jelewry was funky becasue they were trying to

The internet was down at the office yesterday, so we were stuck only working on the items that we had gathered from the day before, but yeah, the ship upgrade bug is on our list. Thanks for eveyone's feedback...we'll (hopefully) have another build for eveyone tomorrow MY God, Internet down!, That must have been fun for you guys. I thought

Just ran into an really bad and annoying bug in 1.20.009 beta, smae problem as sam0t, take a look at this. This is how one of my ships appears in the SHIPYARD SCREEN, which is exactly what it's supposed to look like: HOWEVER, when i press the upgrade button and am taken to the UPGRADE screen, my ship then looks like this: ANY IDEAS? <

The .009 mode I think fixed a file "sphere.x "and reverted it back to old file. The changed file was supposed to be more effecient but it caused some compatability issues. Some early installers found it was doing a weird thing to the dimensions of stars with their display cards. They posted the bug, and had a temporary fix up within a couople hours. The Stardock guys stayed up late (early Saturday am) to fix it the Beta and Frogboy posted it up at 3:00 Central time

BB can we have cheat flag removed for the hull mods and jewrly mods?

I hope someone from Stardock sees this. Great idea.

Waay back during interviews for GalCiv I, Frogboy mad a discussion about AI in gaming and in strategic games in general, It was something to the effect that in the real world, your allies don't defect on you when you are winning the war. That was meant to criticise the AI cheat where every civ would turn against you when you are winning, just to try to make the game harder to win. I understand that point of view and I like it. But I also like the new fear component in 1

Yet another example of Stardocks bad support. And no I'm not whining Versus the approximately ,,,,,,,,,291,426 (and counting) ............more examples of Stardock EXCELLENT support! ROFL

They do sell the collectors edition online versus the regular edition.

Absolutely amazing that everyone has taken a different approach to solving this practical problem. I'm going use a combination of everybody's for my next game.

I ended up deleting all files in the C:/programs /stardock/galciv2 folder as well as those in C;/my documents /my games/galciv2 folder to get a clean install. I then reinstalled from CD and SDC

.....not like any of us are getting into this a lilttle deep! LOL

You guys might want to try www. pandora.com where a music station can be designed by use to use similar music to the kind of music you like. I created a station with a lot of space music. http://www.pandora.com/?tc=e-001023-0035-1143

Hey guys, chill..... Thats life on the bleeding cutting edge with a Beta, man........ But, I gotta say, I had a hell of a lot of fun with it, and even if the metaverse submission got flagged, it caught a lot of us, so were all even OK? Hey, next time wait until you're playing a non beta patch to post if it botheres ya so. I just thoght this current 1.12.009 Be

Anybody else have any shots of Non-Terran fleets?

Try 1.02.009 Beta and give us a ring. Planet management and aggressiveness has been improved. Also waiting for the intensive AI give it more CPU time option. I see the AI getting better every time a new Beta has been released. One thing though, I see more and more the AI's beating up on each other. One reason you may not see the full wrath of the AI is that they consider your empire (you the real flesh and blood player) as just another race and may be concen

I use lists of stars, roman and greek gods, battles, historic navy ships, battles, generals, animals, insects, states, cities etc. I just google to find a bunch of lists and have them pasted into a word file. I try stay consistent game to game.

Wow, I really like some of these above ideas. Here's how I do it now I usually have designated ship classes as by size and main weapon type such as TF (Tiny Fighter) TFM or TFB or TFD (Missile Beam mass Driver) and small name such as TFM Knat I DE (Initial Small Escort ) DEM or DEB or DED and animal name such as DEM Bear II FG (Later Small Frigate) FGM or FGB or FGD and a class name like a large bird FGM Eagle IV C
