CTD on spawning of 'Ranger' class in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

9 times out of 10 my game crashes to desktop upon spawning a 'Ranger' or a 'Corvette' event. I'm running the latest beta (.018). Latest drives for everything, I think. The sound driver looks old, but it's the latest I could find. If someone knows of a more recent one please post it! I've also noticed that the video drivers are a couple months out of date - the Omega guy has only recently updated his (the vendor hasn't updated since 2002). I had m

Build a Spin Control Center and then drop some small or tiny hulls with the cheapest weapons you can get into orbit. That'll keep your military rating up there, as long as they don't leave

Reply to Having alien populations on conquered worlds suggestion. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I kinda like this idea, although I'd add an option in the invasion to wipe the aliens out instead of letting them surrender. Good idea either way, but I'm not sure that StarDock is going to implement it b/c of all the extra micro that would be required.

I've also noticed that the AI can't win an alliance victory even if they're allied with everyone. Apparantly they can only win by conquest and influence.

Reply to Minor races becoming extinct? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

That's really weird, I've never gotten any minor races in any of my games before I updated to beta 4. Then I started and gigantic map with nine races and I've run into 5 minor races so far; there may be even more in places I haven't been yet!

Reply to I think there is a problem with the Dark Yor AI in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I've been able to do this with lots of AIs. My last game I had higher tech than everyone else, and when they started a war I asked for surrender, all of their money and all of their planets and they gave them to me. This happened to the Iconians, the Yor, the Arcaceans and the Dregin all withing a few weeks! I do like that they are, in effect, surrendering, but it seems kinda funny for a civ to be handing over their only planet(s)...

Reply to Unable to Stop Ship Production in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Just updated to B4, and I've got the bug too. Odd thing was it didn't pop up until after I had colonized 3-4 planets. Thanks to Moosetek for the governers trick, lots easier than doing it planet by planet

Reply to Expansion Packs in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I would prefer the traditional method, although that's not going to stop me from getting the expansion. I also wouldn't mind a download, in place of a CD, but that's pretty hard on the dial-up users. I suppose the question of which to do might come down to this: Are you ready to release the expansion? I mean, if the thing isn't ready by the end of September, then there's no point in releasing it in time for the holidays. In fact, that mi

I've gotten entire races (on cakewalk) just for a peace treaty

Reply to Alternative to Transports for mopup. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I've been playing against the simplest AIs, just to get a feel for the game. I've found that if you're sufficiently ahead, you can ask for ALL of their planets. I ended up doing this to the Dregin, Iconians and the Yor all within a couple of turns. You'd think there would be a rule that the AI would keep at least one plaet

Reply to Mod to keep ‘outdated’ planetary improvements available? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I don't think you'd have to demolish first. AFAIK you can upgrade any building to any other building.

Reply to Results: Where did you hear about GalCiv II from? in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah me too. The first time I really heard of this game was on PA, but I actually came and found out more about it when Starforce posted that torrent link and it got linked on Slashdot

Reply to Counter Intelligence in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

That would be great, except that then no one could spy on the civ with the highest economy - no one would be able to afford it!

Questions and Suggestions in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hi all, I've run into a couple of questions, and have a couple of suggestions. Questions: 1) Armed and/or high speed frieghters. Is it worth it to upgrade frieghters at all? I haven't noticed upgraded ones going faster, but I could have missed it. Also, when I clicked on the mini ships running in the tradelanes they did not appear to have the extra equipment (weapons) that I had equipped. Are they there and it's just a d
