Reply to Impossible to demolish any Starports. in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I also usually demolish starports on conquered low-pq planets. Bug or feature, I would really like to be able to do that again so that I'm not wasting a tile.

New bug. Can't demolish already built starports on conquered planets (at least Torians).

Reply to The races should not all be alike! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm playing version 1.1 beta 4. They get 10 points to distribute in addition to the massive inherent ability bonuses. That's a bug that only happens the first time upon loading the game. If you press reset twice, you will lose all the abilities that aren't race-specific. It's the same with all th

Reply to How about more differentiated Civilizations--Game Creators? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

To Oldstatesman. My point is not that you should pick the same bonuses. You can pick whatever you want. My point is that if you do pick the same bonues, to you as a player evey single race will play the same, with a few exceptions. Bonuses are what defines strengths and weaknesses between races, and since you CAN pick same bonus

Reply to Transport can’t keep up in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Do I absolutely, positively have to have that third party program in order to get the beta? I know I found a beta without it some time ago. That "third" party developer you are talking about already has one program on your computer, Galciv 2. So if you are that distrustful of them, you should probably

Reply to So what does everyone think of the space battles and whats your suggestion for improvements??? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hi all, Even on high specs comp, ships fire only one beam even though they've been given up to 3 plasma guns. Lucky me that I have low-specs comp then, since I see ships firing multiple beams if they have multiple weapons.

Reply to Oh my God that was crazy in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

No, the game should simply work correctly. If you capture a planet where someone has built a small wonder, it should disappear. Or, failing that, be non-functional. It's a bug, plain and simple. Saying that something you don't like is a bug is getting really old.

Reply to The races should not all be alike! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Nonsense. The Drath get both the massive bonuses and 10 points to distribute. I don't know which version you are playing but in the latest beta they get 3 points to distribute. I very much doubt that they ever got 10 points.

Reply to Neutrality Learning Center problem in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

The building was added in beta-3 of 1.1 so that might be the problem. It isn't available in any previous version of the game. You also have to start a new game after upgrading to be able to use it.

Reply to [BETA REPORT] A few 'bugs' I've run into to... in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Captain Data: 1,2,3,5,8 works fine for me. You can change 5 in the options. Which beta-version are you running? Doesn't sound like the latest version (beta-4) to me. 9,10,11 ain't what I would call bugs. 7 should be directed to Paradox. Stardock isn't doing the translations.

Reply to Taxes or Population? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Saying that farms sucks now is silly. Taxes never were directly proportionate to the population, in any version of the game. I usually build at least one farm+morale+economy-buildings at pq-10 or better planets in 1.1-beta. Works fine for me. Ain't it nice that it's possible to play in different ways?

Reply to Stock Exchanges in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

That's the way it should be. The .xml-files (including the planet improvements-file) are only read when you start a new game. Otherwise, it would be extremly easy to cheat if things got bad.

Reply to Supergates in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I like the new stargate-starbase type idea, but as with everything new, only if the AI would be able to use it well.

Reply to Keeping the research after each level of the campaign in Research GalCiv2 Forums

That would be stupid. What would stop people from researching every single tech on the first mission and then come here complaining that the campaign was too easy?

Reply to Habitable Moons in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Wrong. They still provide bonuses. Go into details on a planet and you will se the bonus under 'Planet Bonus'.

Reply to I would like to name the stars... in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

You could always add your own names in \Data\English\STARS.txt and they should be used in a new game.

Reply to missles need to be added to this game in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Galciv1 isn't Galciv2. The reason that they shouldn't be in this game is that they would ruin the balance between the different weapons and defences that are in the game now.

Reply to AI audit for 1.1 in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I have to add that I also have seen the AI build some weird planets. I conquered three Korx planets recently in my latest game begun in beta-3A. The two of them that were a little over pq 10 both had 5 to 6 entertainment centers and 0 farms. Haven't seen the multiple starport-bug yet though. But I mostly think the AI is doing a good job developing it's planets. That's not the reason that I repeatedly crush them. Take the Dreng

Reply to WHY WAS THE "FEATURE" NOT FIXED???? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'ts from the 1.1-beta which I assumed that you were playing since you mentioned it.

Reply to WHY WAS THE "FEATURE" NOT FIXED???? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Why are you guys acting like little kids? How about you actually read the options in the menus before flaming the devs: Look at the dates. That option wasn't present in the beta back then. Nice job at messing up the whole thread by the way.

Reply to mind control centre in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Ignore the description, it's wrong. The building gives you an 100% economic ability-bonus.

Reply to AI audit for 1.1 in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

One of the things I'm noticing is that the AI isn't re-designing its ships often enough. This was put in for performance reasons but I think we can do it a better way (which I'm now implementing, recompiling, etc.). It won't help the AI players this game, but it will help them in the future if they can make use of their new tech

Yep, IIRC you get a 25% pop-bonus at 75% morale.

Reply to How can I use researched Arnorian Armor, Telepathic Defense & Subspace Rebounder in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Weird. You could always open Galciv2\Data\English\GC2Types.xml which has all the ship components, do a search for Arnorian Armor and the others and see if they actually exist there. I always play evil so I haven't ever tried using them but they are present in my GC2Types.xml-file.

Reply to Who said corners suck? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Uhh, corners suck because they make it too easy, even without exploiting starbases. I prefer to be somewhat in the middle of the map with enemies on all sides.
