I don't know how can that be but those are the levels:

at last I thought: It's a dancing moons show!

and then I didn't notice it's already the year 2314!
does Alan Brendi (don't remember his last name)ever gonna die sometime?
it's about 150 years? and I didn't reasearch "Beyond Mortality" so what's that deal?

LOL, its either some clever screenshot editing or you have some very strange graphical going ons

the jupiter with sunglasses is definetly photoshopped as they say.

pretty funny stuff

Those several moons and suns is probably a bug that occasionly happens, a lot of times my star bases will for some reason duplicate on the same spot, only a visual thing though so it doesn't really matter.

Also the guys name is Alan Bradley.

What fricking game are you playing? takes 89 years, only 3 planets on the whole map and +1020% morale??!?!?!?! This got to be cheated/screen edited or what ever...

obviosly graphical since your only getting a 10% production boost on the planet with 2 moons though it should be 20

Master U
I was wondering how you kept all those people happy on your MV games... But planets with 1000% moral will work... Just come clean now, you're not being honest are you?

Reply #6 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
no I got the game without any prodution, then I didn't build any buildings for morale (because of my evil plan of making my people suffering...) then because the AI is on cakewalk he didn't influence my people, and in the start od the game I started to reaserch "Xeno Ethics" and I lowerd the research parameter... then I waited until theis year!

Master U,

It doesn't look like the 3d scene is not clearing, and you're getting the planet, star, and moon recreated on top of themselves.

Do you know how to reproduce this?

Also, could you please post your debug.err file? (Found in C:/program files/stardock/totalgaming/galciv2)

Thank you.
