All of them. They all assume that we are mindless little drones who will buy anything they flash on the screen. Unfortunately I guess there are some of those people out there... I buy something because of necessity (or want )not because someone says I should.

I mean, Utopia doesn't sound that bad. Yeah, but who's idea of Utopia? I thought this thread was just to have a little fun but since some people seem to be taking it a little seriously... I will bow out on this one.

But, in the end, there really is nothing we can do about it. The Powers-That-Be have been in control for thousands of years, with that kind of grip on power, who's to stop them. Us if we strip them of their power and kill 'em all if necessary... remember the American Revolution anyone? And as far as Israel... it's in the Bible, even their own

Hah, we aren't like any of the races depicted. To mod in our government would cause such system crashes that it would open Stardock up to liability suits out the yin yang. Our government is idiotic, simplistic, egotistical, biased, abusive, tyrannical, imperialistic, greedy, swiny, stinking, wretched, scum of the earth... well, you get the point. I don't think there is a programmer out there who could debase their ethics and brain power that much to become a single celled organism just to be abl

Reply to Why not do this instead? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I don't see why a limit on markets would be logical I am not saying that it is something that I would necessarily endorse, but it seems that the major gripe among the gamers in here usually is something along the order of nerfing certain buildings with the additional patches, i.e. the morale issues. So my thought was, since players manage to

Reply to So should I update or not? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Actually Kryo I took your advice and bought a flash device so I should be able to keep up to date... and yes I realize it's a beta and all that implies with regards to "issues". The changes don't bother me, it's the possible bugs that come with them, beta or not.

Why not do this instead? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

As I posted elsewhere, why not eliminate the ability or need to build more than one or two improvements? In all fairness it seems that the updates are usually aimed at nerfing or pumping certain buildings based on the strategies employed by the players. Maybe we shouldn't be able to build more than one or two stock markets or VR centers. The only buildings that one would think you should be able to build a lot of would be factories and research centers, and even at that there should be some sort

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II v1.4 Change Log in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

How about making the game in such a way that you wouldn't or couldn't need more than one or two of any given building? I think this was the downfall from the start. Yes, there would obviously be call to add more than one building, such as a factory but you shouldn't "need" fifteen stock exchanges, twenty VR centers... etc. The devs should have built an improvement "cap". That in effect would eliminate the so called "cheese" and other tactics that the devs claim are the reasons for nerfing or pum

So should I update or not? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Morning all. I was unable to access the internet over the weekend so I was unaware that the update was released until I logged on to my trusty inform all forum of forums for my morning fix. I noticed some "dismay" with regards to those of you who have already updated. So, as my title states clearly... should I or shouldn't I? Yes, I understand that reading over the update info should be the deciding factor, but I want opinions from the more experienced players... you know who you are. Thanks for

We need to eliminate politicians altogether. How can a rich person even remotely begin to understand the plight of the common worker, the middle class, or the uneducated poor? And don't throw that "they're a self made person who came from poverty" crap at me because it doesn't stick. Once you pull yourself out of poverty, you never look back, no matter who you are. Politicians just take it to the next level of greed, lust, power mongering, etc. Nothing happens in this world anymore without money

Maybe I should clarify the Israel part a bit... Zionism is the front behind which the Illuminati hide. It is their "religion" if you would call it that. I firmly believe that the holocaust didn't happen exactly as we are told. Many people died, not just jews, and it was because the Allies bombed the crap out of Germany's supply routes, thus leaving the prisoner of war camps without food or supplies. This was thoroughly documented by the Red Cross at that time. As far as burning bodies, yes they

I doubt this thread will last long so here goes... the Illuminati runs the world. It is made up of various families which are pretty much traceable to the Rothschild banking empire. Our leaders are picked by these people not us. If you are not one of them then you are a useless feeder, which is what they term us. The actual families only number around eight or so, but they practice inbreeding, just like the Royal Family of England. So you know what comes of inbreeding... but anyways, they want t

To actually respond to the OP however, I would have to go with the Melniboneans from the Elric Saga's by Michael Moorecock. Awesome reads even if they aren't sci-fi. Chaotic evil... yeah that would be oh so sweet. I loved the sword, Stormbringer. It sucked the souls out of Elric's enemies and transferred their "aura" to him, giving him heightened abilities. But the sword really loved to "kill" and drain his friend's lifeforce since it somehow energized the sword/Elric even more. Kind of an oxymo

However, I just got a class 5 planet in my recent game with 3x 300% Research bonus tiles This is the main reason that I DO NOT overlook smaller PQ planets. I see a lot of people in here who do, and if it works for them then great, but the possibility of those bonus tiles coupled with terraforming make them worth the effort in my eyes. I don't rea
