Housecleaning Item

from GalCiv2 Forums
For Coder's Information...discovered an small syntax error in the Quarterly Report: Playing the Drengin as a Galactic Republic( I know...I know Drengi voting, lol!), and the report stated that: "...Earth's colonies gain increasing..." whereas it should read Drengi colonies (in my particular case) or whomever one might be playing at the time. Some of us Terrans follow the path less travelled...just for grins, don't you know! Anyway, it's just a small item and the game is getting a workout at this humble abode...great job!!

I noticed that error too. I guess it must be a holdover from the original game, when you could only play the Terrans.

If you think it is strange when playing another race, I found it quite disconcerting to see after I had wiped out the Terrans in one of my games.

Looks like you have found one...

If you look through the text files there are actually several occasions with constant references to "Earth" and "Humans" as being the player race are said to non-Terran players. Most of them are for the Custom Race text, such as when your custom race meets, say the Drengin, the Drengin will say on the foreign screen "Welcome Human...." or similar.

I noticed something when a race contacts me to warn me about the growing influence of another race. the answer always begins like " Thanks, XX,..." Where XX should be the name of the contcting leader, but it's always the name I chose for me in the race setting.

Just something minor - I never got confused by this, but it could be fixed easily I guess (?).
