Non-Linear Tech Tree in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Is anyone (or would anyone be interested in) doing a modified, non-linear tech tree? The thing I like least about GalCiv II is the uninspired and very linear techs. It is not only boring, but extremely restrictive (devote yourself to propulsion technology, for example, and every other tech category necesarily lags behind). A more traditional, MOO-style tree would add alot to the gameplay, in my opinion. Then again, this may wreak havoc with the AI.

No Sound? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hmm.... just installed the game and the D update. Loaded up, and had some initial problems with activation. Went to suppor, had them resend my serial number (which was different from my original number, is this normal?), and tried that. Didnt work at first, but on the third time it went through Ok. Game loaded.... and... SILENCE. Cant play a game without audio. Its painful. My ears are busy expecting something, and its just weird. What gives?
