Reply to What should've been an easy comp stomp... in Strategy Sins Forums

My buddies and I do comp stomps all the time, it's not too bad once you get the hang of it (so long as someone doesn't mess up to bad). Here's a couple tips for comp stomping: 1) You're humans, and you're a team, so communicate! Coordinate your attacks and defenses. 2) Try to establish just a couple choke points where at least two of you have built a starbase. That way if something gets messed up and you get pushed back you have

Reply to Question about research bases. in Strategy Sins Forums

If that's the case then I'll keep doing what I've been doing, or at least keep enough military bases around to keep starbase production flowing (I prefer to play TEC and have gotten good at having very compact but insanely productive economies thanks to starbases with trade bays combined with trade ports).

Question about research bases. in Strategy Sins Forums

Most of my games are comp stomping endevors with some friends of mine, and we often end up turtling for the first little bit while we build up. As a result, real estate becomes quite the premium comodity. My question deals with scrapping research stations. If I were to build a bunch of military bases, do some military research, then scrap the bases to make room for civillian ones, do I still get to keep using the research (and any ship designs unlocked) even

Reply to couple of questions on farms and treaties. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Farms are in a dark green section of the tech/research tree. Once you obtain the research necessary for farming it'll be an option on the planetary build screen. Note: You DO NOT need to build farms. Your worlds will automatically produce a certain amount of food, usually enough for around 6 billion or so people. Building farms increases the population cap for that particular world, and the more people you put on it the more you'll have to deal with it dragg

Stardock is hiring game developers, animators, artists and more.

I don't know what communication, if any, there has been between the two companies, so I would like to think so. However, they are currently using Steam as a distributer, and so I don't know if their agreement allows for exclusivity in online distribution.

Save Multiwinia - A Cry for Help in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

I've greatly enjoyed the GalCiv series, and I consider my pre-order of GalCiv2 to be one of the best prchases I've made. It really opened my eyes to indie developers, and the great games that they are producing. I'm sure that you all have heard of Introversion software, makers of Uplink, Darwinia, Defcon, and more recently Multiwinia. The latter game was one I was priveleged to take part in the beta testing of, and I was happy to see it released several week

Reply to Gamers Bill of Right in Action in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Really, I think this whole "gamers Bill of Rights" thing is just silly. Don't get me wrong, I like Stardock as much as the next guy, but to me it just seems like a cheesy public relations stunt meant to showcase the buisness image that Stardock is trying to project, rather than actually accomplishing significant change.
