Exactly, you probably can make a cityscape, but it would be easy to overrun or invade by your opponents as you could not support the troops/magic etc. to defend it all.

I hope there will be the same map creation options ala AOW: random campaign map editor (to create your own)
Just did my pre-order and noticed this tactical battle image: Shows some interesting details about how the tactical battles will work.
*Joins the group* [e digicons]:grin:[/e] And I should have done this when the Canadian $ was at par.
Great trailer and interview. This game is looking awesome. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
There are spells and various effects that can be used vrs. flying creatures as well. Part of the arms (and magic) race. [e digicons]*_*[/e] Keeping the most of gunpowder tech and similar out is fine by me. I am interested in seeing how the tactical battles will pan out.
Great ideas. I like to have non-linear quests and more.
All the best for a damn good company. Glad to hear it! Maybe some of the 'BIG' players may see how you do this the 'RIGHT' way! Keep'em coming! (I purchased a 2nd copy as a gift for one of my friends.
Hey Froggy - I'm running in 1900x1200 rez on ATI X600 and a 24" dell LCD. I also get the stuttering (which is crazy because I have a dual core p4-3ghz with 3gb ram). When I run the full screen tutorials, the bottom 15% of the screen gets cropped - no doubt due to my wacky screen rez. It probably needs some scaling or something.
Playing the game before patches: major teleporting and graphics issues. Installed AMD patch and the hotfix. Playing the game for 2 hours and then leaving it on the ship building screen for 6 hours and then playing for another 1 hour: NO ISSUES anymore!! Did not disable CnQ or set affinity to one processor either. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Congrats.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmi
Great info. Will try this as soon as I can (on laptop now) Apprecaite all the help everyone! P.S. this may I hope fix a similar issue I have in another game..
Bottomline is glad to hear Stardock is working to make all clients happy. This is the type of company that cares about the purchaser.
Very nice.. look forwarding to seeing many more from all the various Space shows and movies etc. Babylon 5 will be a good series to do as well.
Still.. waiting.. for... game.. Arrggh! Keep the reviews and comments coming! I guess up here in Canuck land, it takes a while longer to get the game to me by kayak.
Great AAR. Thanks! These are breaths of air and a cool draught to a gamer lost in the desert! Tomorrow! Whoohoo!
Hey.. maybe a copy of the manuscript or parts of it could be found in game as ancient texts! (I would buy it if it was a book!) Yah! Great read there Draginol, I am VERY much looking forward to playing the campaign!!
*shoots the dead horse that is multiplayer*
Great news as always. Thanks Frogboy and SD. Time to call in sick on the 21st. Oh.. well maybe wait until that morning..
Veteran Draginol: I am damn happy there are developers like you and your team out in cyberspace. It is awesome to see great companies doing work and producing great product and not having to pay swag or service to the Big-guns . Take some time off, and enjoy the sun and fresh air too. I am right now until the game is out - then my wife won't see me as much
Great update thanks Brad! Appreciate all the work and anxiety you and the TEAM are under as I have done similar work. Have fun doing some BF2! Get some sleep too! Maybe visit some family and friends and not take over their PC too.. Sitting back reading a Space Opera novel to get in the mood. (Dark Wing: Walter H. Hunt) Cheers and good luck with the la
I'll be going with the Campaign. Have to see what those crafty aliens & Stardock has in store for us!
Babylon5 universe & races would be cool...
Or swag. Pre-ordered at EBgames on weekend. Up here in Canada, will be nice to have something to do in my igloo and all..
Thanks for the update Veteran Draginol! I am newcomer to the GALCIV having origionally done the MOO series as well as VGA planets. Looking forward to GALCIV II! The detail and more that you are putting in is awesome. (love the invasion ship!) Will be great to name some ships and leader after my son and wife too! This is my next game.
