[quote who="RougeTrooper" reply="13" id="2014169"] Not only that but this word will spread so I don't understand why they don't just support it and then discuss terms.[/quote] I don't fully agree guys. remember that stardock is actually trying to put impulse forward and make it a concurrent of steam, they need to be trusted by companies it's not by breaking deals that this will do them any good [e digicons]:S[/e] [quote who="RougeTrooper" reply="16" id="201522

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="5" id="2008940"]Beg pardon, but I just gotta say that this one still seems like a bug to me. I never do it because it just *feels* wrong. If your troops don't have the tech to do even 50% physical work on the world, just how are they supposed to be able to kill all those defenders? Seems like at the minimum, invading a world without the right enviro tech should give you a very large combat penalty.[/quote]it should be outright impossible if yo

also if you were to use an all lab strategy , the production malus won't be applied since your production comes from labs

also I just saw that you use multisample "5" which should translate in AA 5x even if it works, this is NOT a good idea, AA was designed with multiples in mind (for nvidia cards AA2x, AA4x, AA8x so you should either choose 2, 4 or 8)

[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="7" id="2007995"] Quoting Saiyan230, reply 6Yes sole soul you're right. I mean yes I'm expecting alot from integrated graphics but It does meet the games requirements as well as passing it. AA is kind of a multiplier, though. Granted, that's perhaps not the best way to put it, but it's (I've found) the best rule to live by when setting it. And the issue with it being integrated is that the VRAM it uses is "borrowed" (aka stolen) from you

(for reference the primary buffer is what the screen displays, while this happens the gfx cards calculates the next image and stores it in the back buffer, then switches the back & primary buffer around, and so on ... )

[quote who="CobraA1" reply="4" id="2005877"]Heh - to be honest, the search on nearly all of the forums on the Internet is broken, and amusingly enough a lot of foums out there encourage their users to use their search function.[/quote] I don't agree, phpbb forums are very common and searches work just fine and that's just one example ...

[quote who="IQofSpam" reply="10" id="2004565"]Hey Sole Soul, thanks for the *.zip link for all of us whiners. You get karma for that! I have to say though, this *.zip versus *.rar debate is rather silly, at least for this particular example. By placing it in an *.rar archive, you've limited its usefulness, because it is guaranteed that someone won't be able to open it - and it was done for a whopping 1.2 MB. I have to ask, is it really worth it?[/quote]<

well if you don't get any more help here and since I never used impulse, I will suggest to contact support@stardock.com

I never was one for metaverse, like always there's a way to make big scores then you just have to redo it over and over and over to become the one and only empire... it's ... boring for google try to include " site:forums.galciv2.com " in your search terms

[quote who="The Beastmaster" reply="6" id="2004280"]Question: If I download and install winrar, does it override winzip, as a tool? Or will the computer ask which program (winzip or winrar) to use to extract a file? [/quote]It does not overide winzip, the two can live on your computer just fine. If you use right clic integration and depending on which exact option you chose in your preferences you can have right-clic menus or submenus to d

[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="3" id="2004247"] Because on XP or higher, WinZip isn't even installed in the first place; Windows makes uses of Zip "folders". [/quote] I never ever saw a more crappy way to handle zip files than winXP own zip engine ... (only my opinion though)[quote who="Mumblefratz" reply="2" id="2004219"] Basically there are two kinds of people [/quote] you took the two extremes such that, of the two options, 1 represent 99% lol [e digicons]^_^

And I wanted to do a separate post as a request for the I-mod team : -if you guys could integrate additional visual options to be shown on the trees it would be nice, like for example : an icon for unstealable/untradable, an icon for unique tech (not present in any other tree)... I'm throwing the idea into the air, if you guys like it, take it. If it's not possible to do it, drop it... Thanks for reading.

I still don't understand what's so complicated with optionnaly uninstalling winzip and installing winrar or 7-zip in its place... I guess to each his own... if you often begin to download a lot of mods here and there for games, you will often stumble upon rar files rar saves space and so user bandwith and more importantly server bandwith which might not be important for you but is important for a lot of webmasters hosting free sites which pay for the bandwith ...

the comp in itself is enough to run the game though I don't know about running it through an additional layer (bootcamp) I also remember people having issues between bootcamp & gc2 but don't remember if they solved it or not sorry I'm not of a great help searching google with "bootcamp site:forums.galciv2.com" might lead some interesting results

there is in 2.0x

well as I see it, it's probably because of the gfx engine and I don't see stardock putting dev time into galciv2 engine now... moreover there's not so much games that fully support windowing / fullscreen / alt-tabbing /screensavers or whatever involves multitasking (fully support = 100% functional with 0 % crashes)
