Minor Races in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Just wondering here if it is possible to give the minor races custom planets/star systems? The reason I ask is I think the whole naming convention for minor races in this game is incredibly stupid and kinda nonsensical. I mean Akilians with system and planets all called Akilians. Id like them to have real star and planet names.

[quote who="Campaigner" reply="7" id="2626518"]I cannot see how Elementals lore is similar to GalCivs. Was there a cataclysm in GalCiv? Was there multiple races AND different cultures? I just don't see the similarities at all.[/quote] Then you havent been paying attention. The back story for Gal Civ is an ancient Mithrilar called Draginol (who was originally human apparently?) we

Reply to The Lore in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I am not trying to be rude about it. I would just like a bit of originality in it there. Part of the fun of playing these types of game is discovering the little lore tid bits in game and such like and if the lore and back story for Elemental is the exact same as Gal Civ then can I ask what the point is exactly? Why not just do a game called Gal Civ 3: Wow its Magic!

The Lore in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Ive been reading through the lore pages and that recently. And I wondered am I the only one who is dissapointed here? The lore is basically the back story of Gal Civ regurgitated for the fantasy setting of Elemental War of Magic.. Its rather dissapointing considering this was supposed to be the successor to Master of Magic which its looking less and less likely that it will be. I know Brad wrote the back story and that for Gal Civ and I am sure he

Reply to Scratch Civ V off my buy list. in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I just want to chip in here and say I hate Steamworks simply because I thoroughly resent being forced to install a 3rd party program in order to play a game single player. Its rediculous and stupid. And morally questionable as well. I wont be buying Civ 5 either if this is the case. Its a real shame. Is Brad Wardell aka frogboy involved in Civ 5 like the OP said? If so, in what way? And is he going to

Reply to Question in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Well im using it in TA so that COULD be the problem. But I dont really see how... Im running it in the HiRes Graphics mod... I had to do a bit of editing to copy it over. But it should be ok. I mean the planets and system come up ok but its the selectable/buildable squares all being in a line along the middle thats weird. If I remember right this has always vexed me about this mod. I eventually got rid of it because of it I think. LOL. Not

[quote quoting="post"] My machine is only 2 years old so it should be able to run GC2 TA without any problems[/quote] Ahem. As I say TA aka Twilight of the Arnor. Latest patched version. I found out it was a problem with AF Ronins Federation ship style which i had downloaded to use with the Custom race. I think its because the ship style hasnt properly defined the Survey/Construction/Transport/Colonisation/Spore vessels. The hanging proble

Question in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I downloaded the Coruscant planet mod to use with my custom race and ive found a small annoying problem. Ive noticed that the "useable" terrain squares are all in a line horizontally along the middle of the planet. Which normally would be fine but it appears to be the case on every planet i colonise as my custom race. Its weird. Anyone know how to fix this?

Custom Race oddness in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hi guys. Im having a weird problem with my custom race. I start up a game with it and for some reason right at the very start my ships wont move. At all. Whatsoever. I can select a space to move them to and i get the "movement pending" thingey appearing above them - ya know to say how many turns it would tak to move them? So i tried hitting TURN and the game just seems to hang when I do so. The button is "gone" and the turn doesnt

Hmm and the forums arent letting me Report his post nor Edit my previous post. Im gay myself and im astounded that Stardock staff have posted in this thread and said NOTHING about his attitude. The ads are kinda weird I admit but I reckon they are a dig at the whole "Oh Macs are Cool and PCs SUCK!" ads that Apple was running.

Hi AFRonin. Im wonderin if I have done something wrong in installing the Federation ship pack... When I go to the Shipyards there a multiple copies of the same ships? Like for example I have the Apollo Class Mark 1 M1 which has level one laser weapons on it (which I assume like stock TA ships upgrade as you research better weapons and shields?) and theres also an empty Apollo Class Mark 1 with nothing on it; and a number of other classes the same - one with weapons, one without

I agree AJackal. SMAC was just the best game ever. Of any kind of game. I love it - play it even today. Certainly more than I play Civ 4... Fantastic Story Smegma. :-)

Zyxpsilon. Thanks a lot. :-) Dont worry I wont be releasing this "mod" or the stuff im using - I did it for myself. So you dont have to worry about "redistribution" - I didnt upload the GFX for that reason. I only wanted you guys to check the XML files for me, i forgot about the RAW files. I knew I had made mistakes somewhere in the XML files but I couldnt find the errors. now that you have pointed them out hopefully ill be able to find and correct them :-).

Reply to Alpha Centauri: Rediscovering the Past in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

Well the SMAX factions didnt really fit into the Lore of the SMAC Universe very well did they? I mean they were all pretty much rebels from the original 7 - the Free Drones broke away from the Hive, the Cyborgs left the University, the Planet Cult are some bonkers cross between the Gaians and the Believers. And I dont know how you would fit the Progenitors into the GalCiv universe? But I have to say you SHOULD include the Nautilus Pirates - they are definately canon and the

Yeh. I was just being picky LOL. Im a SMAC fan and its not correct to refer to Alpha Centauri as a binary star system ;-). Are you not going to include the SMAX factions?

Reply to Alpha Centauri: Rediscovering the Past in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

Im really enjoying this story so far but I want to point out that Alpha Centauri is a system with 3 stars not 2. Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and the further away Proxima Centauri. Keep it up Smegma.
