My bust. I didn't realize my "character" name was different than my account name. When I used my account name everthing worked... sorry for the inconvience.

I can't log in and start a metaverse game. I get an invalid account message. I can't set up a new account, I get an error message. Please help.

Update ... problem solved. I should have known better than read the email. It said go to stardock.com/support which only allowed me to download GalCiv2 and DL. By ignoring this instruction and goin to stardock central I could download Twilight of the Arnor under "my games". ... "/support" is so misleading ...

What gives ??? I just purchased the digital download and the CD from StarDock central and I'm not being allowed to download it??? Did I just get taken to the cleaners by StarDock???

it is just an annoying game feature. Emphasis on ANNOYING, especially if you save and reload each turn ...

It already is proven. Check reply #10. What I'm affraid is AIs also collect taxes each turn the game is loaded. Since it gets so many things, that's quite possible. I just don't know how to test that. Unlikely. I know it doesn't get extra tax collection because the "AI" doesn't do taxes. That's a game engine element. Easy enough to prove - save a turn 1 game and reload

Maybe you could even do something like give a bunch of minor races the tech for Hyperion Shrinker, save and reload a bunch of times, now the Shrinkers are all complete, time to invade. I new this was exploitable .... hehehe

NVM, - is that shorthand for Never Mind???

Look in My Documents\MyGames\GalCiv ....

Creativity comes in handy not very frequently. Research is permanent. If you ever checked your debug file you'll find it accumulates to significant values by the end of the game. Add 1 point of luck and you'll see that increase, as well as more bonus tiles, etc...

Postscript: What software do you use to make pics of your game screens which you post?

I think every civ has its own unique strat it works best with Whoops another understatement ... every civ needs a unique rush strat, military strat, econ strat, and research strat suited to its abilities

constructors ... Whoops typo ... I build cargo hulls which I upgrade to 1 sensor, 2 engines and 1 lifesupport for exploration. I upgrade to colony or constructors as appropriate. (DA v1.5, I also build 1 ferry with 2 cargo pods 1 engine - and MOST of my income is spent on my new worlds) I think every civ has its own unique strat it works best with

Only now I realized why your starting strategy doesn't screw your economy. Not because your HW is producing 50% more revenue than mine. You don't get enough planets to go broke! Discussion over. BR, Iztok Sorry, but I have to agreed with Iztok on this one. When I play a Superbreeder race on suicidal I ALWAYS go for the +2 speed bonus so I can start with speed 4 constructors ...

Dear Wyndstar Your Altarian AAR was superb. It inspired me to go a little step further and derive a method for optimizing economy, industry, and moral into a unified whole, which - if successful - would allow players the ability to develope economic stategies. If you are a BAD player in some eyes for what you have done than I am a DEVIL for what I want ... which is to develope

How about a better AI - one that doesn't need ridiculous bonuses to "improve" its game play and how about adding some recursions so it can save its analysis and "improve" itself (for those of us who have large harddrives) - might as well ask for the moon too huh?

Best soundtrack I've encountered was for Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines I agree wholeheartedly! Each music piece they used was really suitable for the scene. I remember that when my brother was playing the section with the haunted house, we were on the edges of our chairs. The music in the club was awesome as well, wouldn't you say? You got my vote!!! Too bad there out of business <img src="http://images.stard

I've been experiencing several hard drive fragmentation issues which may have influenced/corrupted my game. Please if anything seems unusual or can not be reproduced please let know. My internet acces is thru work so reloading can involve several hurdles... Dear Iztok, Thank you very much for your indepth and informative response. I appreciate the very useful links you have included, which I read along with the wiki <img src="http://images.st

Thanks guys ... I was beginning to think I was wasting my time doing this analysis. It takes me about a week to do a move this way. I had thought of doing a second write up on this game after its done ... a fantasy write up for the kids to enjoy

I think you went into WAYYYYYYYY too much detail. @_@ This AAR is for those who crunch numbers or want to. It is not necessary to play the game this way. The're many other strategies. I simply thought that after reading Wyndstar's Altarian AAR that some players may benefit from such indepth analysis - a carry over from playing USCF Chess I guess ... besides I hav

Continuing on 1 JAN 2226: FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: Income: Expenses: Taxes: 32bc Research: 5bc Tourism: 4bc Colony Maintenance: 1bc Total: 36bc Total: 6bc NOTES: Currently Research is 6 weeks for my 1st project. This is unsatisfactory at my current game setting. Looks like I will have to tweak my sliders to maximize my bonuses and minimize my numerous disadvantages. First, I adjust spending to 100% production capacity

Postscript: Morale is missing the +20% bonus purchased at 3 ability points. Also I suspect the +20% bonus social production is not added to the 24mp in the SUMMARY since that would have resulted in 9iu (24mp*1.2=28.8mp;28.8mp*.33=9.504mp or 9iu). Does any one else experience this?

Here is my first attampt at an AAR. I selected the DA v1.5 Iconians to document every pertanent aspect possible. First for posterity, and secondly for peer review. I've been experiencing several hard drive fragmentation issues which may have influenced/corrupted my game. Please if anything seems unusual or can not be reproduced please let know.

Your Torgalians bear a striking resemblance to trolls in Shadows of Amn, BG2 ....
