Just got home and d/l'd it via Stardock Central @ 5PM (Pacific). Strange that there's nothing on the site or forums about it yet. Maybe SD made a 'special' version just for me for critcizing the AI. Loading now... Peace out.
Oh Dear Lord...It's May 26th already. Please release it within the hour. I haven't played this sucker for weeks waiting for the 1.2 patch. I NEED A FIX...QUICK!

You will not survive. Make your time.
Ironfist. I like all of your suggestions. But honestly, CG2 is what it is at this point. I would expect any significant changes moving forward. Instead, I'm looking forward to GC 3. I honestly believe these guys are recording all of the forum feedback and will make a far superior version of the game in years to come.
bluebeholder, get ready to get roasted. I've already been here, done that and all I got was hole lotta ripped-and-torn. guys here are fanatically loyal to the developers. fanboys really. you'll find a few balanced opinions. not enough though. friendly advise? discuss the AI anywhere but here and, try to downsize your map. apparently, the AI is more competent and aggressive when you play on MEDIUM galaxy setting. good luck.
Okay Brad. I'm guilty of criticizing your AI. But I confined it to primarily 2 threads. This update of yours hit home, so I will apologize for my part. But I want to leave you with this: When we play computer games, we like to escape. You have to know this as player yourself. When we see the AI build 10 embassies...or chasing a frieghter accross the map during wartime...or when the AI just won't attack regardless of what affront you throw at it...or when you
Thanks guys. That's too bad. As some of you are probably aware, I have a couple of posts begging for more aggressive AI and I haven't been playing the game for some time, waiting for the 1.2 patch to hopefully improve my HUGE galaxy gaming experience. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer. (sigh) Guess I'll give 1.2 a shot on a LARGE galaxy. Apparently the AI really ramps up as you decrease the map size.
Can you please go here: https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=349&AID=118134#909837 ...and address my post which I slipped in before the thread got locked? Really curious as to what your comment refers to. Thanks.
w00t! Still hard to believe a country had to be banned because of him, and we lost the AI for 1.2 Uh...what!?! Someone wanna explain that last part to me please? What do you mean we LOST the A.I. for 1.2?????
There is no such thing as an 'exploit' in GC2 for the simple fact that the AI can't win a game against a human player. It might make it tough to win (for a while). But that's it. I've read hundreds of posts here since getting the game a few weeks ago. The number of comments relating to the AI actually winning a game? NONE. You can't exploit something that can't win. Loading this game as-is is exploitation. Hopefully 1.2 will change things.
Ya, well, after 80-something posts, the mind starts to wander a bit as the point becomes lost and the interest wanes. So here' a crazy Bulgarian going on for 5 pages: https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=162&AID=117434
'can't count myself amongst the casualties'? what the hell does that mean? It means that by your willingness to enter this discussion, with primary purpose of calling myself and CARL "idiots", that you yourself have become the subject matter of your own attacks. Welcome to the cellar rich! You walked right into that one y
Precursor loves to dish it out, but can't take it. "Jas" just loves to mix it up. You are both idiots. Rich, you eat too much sperm. By chiming off like that, you can't now count yourself amongst the casualties. Smooth move there buddy. Personally, I'm just waiting for 1.2. If that flops, I will give ab
And with that last attempt to duck the argument, I believe any sane observer can conclude who is the victor. You're delusional. Suggesting that anyone who doesn't consider your to be the "victor" herein MUST be (in)sane. This discussion isn't about victory you pathetic piece of dung. I'm guessing you're a university
No internet stalking. Just a simple Google search. I had to hit about 5 whole pages before the picture came clear into focus. You were THAT obnoxious. You stand out THAT much. It's easy to de-construct (i.e. say that suggestions are crap). Try constructing something (i.e. making suggestions). But that's not in your nature, is it parasite? So tell us the reasons why Wonder Woman's golden lasso attack should yiield 4 points rather than 3.75. I'm dying to hea
Precursor, is this your way to try to retreat from a fight? Never buddy. NEH-EH-VER! There's this great little forum feature called 'Watch'. I get a convenient e-mail everytime you show up here. So I just log on, check out your pseudo-intellectual jibberish, laugh a bit and then egg your simpleton ass on a bit more. You can in
PRECURSOR10: ON THE RECORD The tone of my original post contained some frustration based on having to abandon 4 consecutive games and many days of work on a particular strategy. Admitted. I guess I sadly misunderstood what was involved in making these suggestions happen because I've played so many good games out there (and, yes...some really bad ones too). Thank you to those of you who saw that I love the potential of this game and want to see it succeed
I'm didn't think you could be such a took A "took" is that some Lord of the Rings reference? Learn how to spell moron. I love watching you de-evolve into the maggot you truly are.
@Richrf Unfortunately, the subject of my last post was the first person to make things deeply PERSONAL around here. A brief amount of investigation work revealed his heinous MO. I prefer not to plunge to such depths but it's necessary. My genetics prevent me from ignoring such ignorance. He's a cancer.
It's amazing what you can find with Google. For anyone reading this discussion and giving that prick Jasamcarl some benefit of the doubt, let me fill you in a little. Besides being a massive D&D dork, Petitioner to the Cartoon Network, Crusading critic of Halo 2, and Super Hero Role Player, he's an all around offense to the Internet... Look how he provoked this guy: <TD class="mb
Actually Jasam, I'm not. I'd give it another shot at trying to convince you but I don't have the necessary training for handling people with 'special' needs as yourself. Nor does it interest me to try. So J-ass-man (I typed it that way because you're probably dyslexic also), I'll just leave you with your anger. Anger at knowing that someone capable has challenged your laughable dominance and comfort level on these boards, and knowing that yet again... YOU"VE BEEN

No, you've just whine like a little girl when some note that your suggestions suck, you don't know what you are talking about, etc. And when a developer notes how bad your suggestions are, you go about condeming the game based on some utterly childish and unreasonable expectations aren't validated. Then, when you realize you are loosing the argument, you try to
Krazikarl: In not one instance above, did you quote me in proper context. Typical. You pseudo intellectuals are so busy analising and scrutinizing one little string of words that you can't see the big picture. FACT: In this thread, I have not once launched the first personal attack. I have only responded in like kind. That reflects on you, not me. FACT: You have still failed to note even one of the many positive comments I have made about the game.
