Forum watch list issue in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I hate to keep brining this up but I would love to hear if this is being worked on. Basically, I can not get the "Add to Watch" list functionality of this forum to work. I have tried it using both IE and FF. I have tried it on 5 computers located on 3 different networks. EVERY time I get the following message: "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled

Reply to Empire Given up... (gripe) in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I just played a game last night and the same thing happened...everyone surrendered to anyone but me! I certainly wasn't the strongest but they didn't seem to surrender to the strongest. At times I was the one beating them into submission but like I said that didn't cause them to surrender to me (in fact, NEVER has a race whom I'm beating the tar out of surrendered to me, always to someone else). And other times I was allied and still the would surre

I agree, especially on the zooming in on the starbase to be upgraded. I usually click cancel then find the constructor on the map and initiate the upgrade again...

Reply to Complaint: Upgrading ships is far too expensive in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

One other thing...I think upgrading along the same tech path should be cheaper/faster than switching (beam to missle for example) or maybe even the only upgrade allowed. In other words, to offset the potential problem of the AI making instant changes to their ships to combat your tactics, only allow upgrades in the same weapon or defense tech line - no upgrading weapons from beam to missles or defense from armour to point etc. Make sense?

Reply to Complaint: Upgrading ships is far too expensive in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I think which we are know but hasn't been said is the micromanagement effect of having to fly your ships back to spaceports to get them upgraded. I don't think that is a big deal but just wanted to be clear. After reading this thread I would agree that as it stands now upgrading is somehting I never do - which does cost me experience. However, I tend to build ships that are exponentially better rather than every few turns incrmenetally better ships

Is there any chance this will be an added in an update? Or am I the only person who wants this added? I really thought this added a lot to MOO2. You never knew who you were going up against so it caused a lot of anxiety as you explored and discovered who else shared your galaxy. Then having to change strategies on the fly depending on who else was in the galaxy and where they were in relation to you. As it is now I know what I'm getting

Reply to What do the other MOO2 fanatics think of GC2? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I was a HUGE MOO2 addict. What I can tell you is that in my opinion GC2 is VERY similar to MOO2 but just better in almost every way. I think GC2 has a much superior interface, easy to jump around to where you need to go and also easy to get lots of things done from 1 screen. I wasn't a fan of tactical combat in MOO2 so the lack of this in GC2 doesn't bother me one little bit. I do watch the battles play out about 50% of the time. It is pretty good

Reply to Watch list problems in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Unfortunately I haven't seen that show yet, although I do own the first 2 seasons on DVD, I just need to watch them! I use the term "fugue" to reference the psychiatric definition - "A pathological amnesiac condition during which one is apparently conscious of one's actions but has no recollection of them after returning to a normal state. This condition, usually resulting from severe mental stress, may persist for as long as several months.

Watch list problems in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, I noticed what I think is the same thing a few times. I basically just don't update ships anymore...

No Copy Protection, is it really that big a deal? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Answer: abso-frickin-lutely if you ask me. I would just like to applaud Stardock on this one more time because, quite frankly, it DOES make a difference to me on what I buy. There are a lot of great games out there now and I am limited to the amount of time I have to play. When games use "invasive" anti piracy techniques that's an automatic no sale for me - like I said, there are just so many good options out right now. My most recent example - HOM

Reply to Feature Request - NO TECH TRADE in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I really hate to "complain" about this game because it has been a ton of fun to play, and quite frankly Stardock has been fantastic with its support and connection to the community. That said, I totally agree with these comments and would absolutely love the option of tunring off or tunring down tech trading. At least for me the rampant tech trading makes the game less fun...

Reply to How does one invade with more than a single transport??? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Are you sure about that? When I played last night this did not happen. I had 2 transports which I created a fleet out of and attacked a planet. Instead of attakcing with 2K which is what I thought would happen, the first batch attacked then the second batch. What am I missing?

Sorry if this has been mentioned - I tried to skip this post and didn't see it and there is no way that I know of to search within a post - but the #1 thing I would like is: 1) Random opponent selection I would like to be able to pick the number of opponents (or maybe even let that be random as well) and have random opponents selected. To me this adds a lot to the eperience as I don't know ahead of time which races I'll be facing so it

Question about purchasing in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

These are probably stupid questions but here goes: I would like to buy the game now, and as fate would have it, none of the Best Buys, CompUSAs etc. have it in stock yet. So, being a very impatient person, I was thinking about downloading. But I had a question on the download + CD option - does that mean I can download it now and will also recieve a "retail" box (with CD, manuals, etc. - I would like to have the manual, I'm just one of those kin
