Reply to The most dangerous people alive. in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Iran is develouping or already has nuclear weapons, and is very anti west, with Iran's leader driven not by the benefit of his people, but by appearing strong infront of his colleges, just look at all the kidnappings Actually my impression of the situation in Iran is the exact opposite... He looks like a reasonable leader who is being pushed by the anti western sentiment of the Iranian people? And they way he released the Britis

Reply to The most dangerous people alive. in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

You probably don't know the names of the most dangerous people alive as they are by and large appointed instead of elected. But as a body it might be the citizens themselves who are content with bread and circuses instead of paying attention to what the government of any country is doing or how corporate and government policies effect third world countries and the middle east. So who is going to win the next American Idle?

Reply to Video Games Are Anti-Social and Addictive in Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

The larger question is what are we here for?Are we here for pleasure?Or is there a greater purpose for being here?In a society where basic needs are met when you can play on the computer ,go to a movie, have access to copious amounts of food and such it is possible to spend a greater portion of your time investing in such activities.And I won't even mention the TV which can suck up time.The TV is far to convenient for investing time in people who are not real versus going to a movie which ends e

Orbital bombardment in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Since we have a spy icon and can click on a square on our enemies tiles,is there a way to mod orbital bombardment of planetary squares into Dark Avatar?Change the spy icon to a bomber and then damage or nerf the tile?Probably no way to tie it to a ship in orbit?Just an idea.I think planets should be harder to attack anyways and have seperate orbiting battle defenses instead of the current tile defenses.

Sector reports in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I wonder if we could have sector intelligence reports attached to the GNN.It might be tied to intelligence satellites or if you simply have a sector sensor platform.Would have a go to button. It could list such things as: Space pirate sightings Space monster sightings(if there are any) Freighter traffic Enemy and ally fleet movements. Starbases and of what type. Influence totals for each race and change in influence since last turn. Maybe assign a value of most i

Reply to Dark Avatar: The Graphics difference in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

The DA starbase texture looks like a starbase with its bays doors permanently open on the sides and looks like your looking at the flooring lights.Just my interpretation perhaps.There is a darker tone than a shiny texture would be reflecting off the side in space. Now that I look at it again there are more light details around it making it look like there are occupiable quarters and work spaces.

Reply to Prepping 1.4, Dark Avatar AI in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I would like to add to the debate that if a Republican or conservative is not spending some of his money or time or both to aid his fellow man,then he has no right to complain about redistribution of wealth.An ideology that doesn't address a problem in a practical matter is just that,empty ideas. I would say the overall problem is materialism in general and not greed. On spys.Will you be able to use spies to thwart others and what will happen then as far as consequences,degrada

Well elections are definitely underdeveloped as they simply are a way for you to tweak bonuses and watch your popularity.

I would like to see the party that gives you the biggest challenge in the election reflect the weak aspects of your empire.If you are lagging behind in tech the technologists would challenge you the most.If your lagging industrial output industrialists and so forth.If that isn't the case now. Also would like spies to be able to slander your party. You would get a message pre election saying that your party is rocked with scandal. You would get stats on how it will effect your po

Idea for ground combat in Gal Civ 3 in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Taken from the game Conquest of the New World. In CNW you had a grid of 2 by 3 or 4 by 3 can't remember with two squares on the end for you and your opponents flag square.Armies consisted of infantry, cavalry and artillery. There were generals which based on their level of experience would allow a certain number of action points to your units.There was a unit placement phase before the battle began. You would move units up or to the side with combat happening when either ca
