Just a suggestion since you seem to have problems with your website : Why don't you just contribute your things to galciv.wikia.com ? Which is, as far as I know, the official galciv2 wiki source of information.Don't take this bad though it's nice to open a fansite, and I don't want to discourage you from it, just suggesting since it seems you have some difficulties.

Reply to Espionage in DA/TA in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

[quote who="Loupdinour" reply="9" id="1782398"]I'll be confirming that later, but as far as I remember, +espionage only allows you to SPEND more money, thus getting spies faster. So for example, figuring the exact same incomes for all 3 races: -the Yor with +0 would spend, lets say 1,000bc when set at 25% spending -the Kyrnn with their +50 would spend 1,500bc when set at 25% spending -the Iconians with their +100 would spend 2,000bc when set at 25% spending <br

Reply to Possible to increase brightness or change color of auto-pilot lines? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

hum well you can change your base color when tweaking your race at the beginning of a new game, other than that ... I don't know but there's also a few things you can try before changing those colors... first and foremost depending on you specific screen and graphic card and settings, the actual color shown can differ by quite a bit For example, if you use AA (antialiasing located ni video options) and if you have an Nvidia graphic card, y

well most actually improve a planet quality upon completion (even if the building disappear after use) . My starting planet got from 10 to 11 with soil enhancement then from 11 to 12 with habitat improvement and on another start building terraforming on the planet made it go up from 10 to 11 only (should go to twelve with 20%) !!! so I guess it's true that this number does nothing at all which is confirmed by my test with the thalan gaia device which only add the 10%PQ ability t

Demo last 5 minutes ... in Space Rangers 2 Stardock Forums

Well, The game looks good so I downloaded the demo (thanks to the announcement on the galciv2 forums) 1GB download, and I could play only 5 minutes ... I did not even complete the training how can I test a game with a 5 minute try on such a big gigantic game ? whatever I will probably buy this game from stardock, as I said, it looks good, it's cheap, it's stardock and there's no starforce... these are all good reasons to buy it sooner or later <br

Reply to Un-Obsolete suggestion & check title/name in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

no, there's no way to undo an obsolete command of course it's normal that a delete command can't be undone but in case of the obsolete it's too bad I would have liked something ala Moo3 that is : you can obsolete & undo and you can also check a box to see obsoleted designs Currently I have a very long list of ships because some times I want to keep a design but not the ship in itself for future upgrade if anyone would like this idea please make a short

Reply to Culture flipping in DA in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

there's a few points missed in these thread first the flip is not decided by any race but directly by people it's somewhat of a revolt against the original owner in favor of the new owner I don't see how could one leader (either side) have any power on that directly (other than by propaganda & such I agree though that races who have alliances and very close relations shouldn't flip that easily to each other (what's the point for people to revolt to a friendly race

Reply to does the AI want to win? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

If I remember correctly, the AI in galciv2 was not designed with a "I want to win" way of thinking it will try to win but not at any cost for its people, its way of thinking is rather : "I am the ruler of a race, how will I handle this?" in Moo3, the AI (despite the fact that it cheated) was designed like a player and did in fact "want to win" which was really bad because whatever you did you would ALWAYS end up at war with every computer given enough time (because at a poi
