OK, I'll PM one of the admins there to get you hooked up. Thanks. I think I see a gramtical error in the hitchhiker's of the galaxy thing that appears with macmatt's posts. But I am not a grammer Nazi.

So is it safe to download the beta directly. I mean should I download the non-beta version first and then update the beta or just download directly? -Scot

The height maps and the beta both improve DA's performance?

You could also move your capital systems somewhere else before the rebels capture the original planet. That option has been removed in the game now.

The political system isn't complex enough, I agree. The "lower your taxes" solution completely makes the 25% approval rating factor TOO CONSTRICTING. The line is uncrossable by more experianced players. If anyone has a suggestion to fix this, please voice your oppinion.

Any chance I'll ever get to see what the private forums over at the core look like? I love Monty Python and the Holy Grail: one of the best films of all time I never saw that movie. Never heard of it either.

Let me just get this straight. I have downloaded DL again(which I already have)and its all safely tucked away in my harddrive with it's signature in my registry. Btw, you download DL in compressed format so its 147MB to download. Now to DA: DA V1.59[b].097 is about 251MB on SDC. This is the non-beta core original un-altered humty-dumpty DA download. The beta with the speed boost is the "HEIGHT MAPS" download at 250MB making a total of 501MB for DA. Right? Makes for abo

You know Jangeral, you should write an AAR. You know what would make this post more then a recruitment board: If it were more then a recruitment board. The High command hugemony has made their thread more then a recruitement board by making it a High Command Hugemony bulleton board too. I'll demonstrate: The HitchHiker Empire has recently surpassed the Stardockian Empire with upto 214,000 points thanks to the recent effort by the oreans and Jangarel. Anot

Reply to Brad's "Did you know you could do this" thread in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

There is another edition to your thread, brad. It's kinda like a cheat but it isn't considered one(no cheat flag). If you select an AI's planet and go in to your domestic policy screen and adjust your taxes or spending. The planet will display how many turns left into building the next ship. It won't give you the name of the ship but at least you know how many turns until the next ship produced on the planet. I use it it to check if its safe to move my transports in. You can test it

Very good ideas Hydro and Grime. I agree that the original factors which can trigger the Civil War are too constricting. But the concept does provide a negative point to becoming a evil civ.

install dl then da. IT WILL TAKE TOO LONG WITH MY CONNECTION!!! I can play DL right now. IT IS DA THAT I WANT TO PLAY! Just give me a link to a EXE download. I can easily give my serial code and get this all over with. All I need is an EXE. Can't one of you copy yours and give it to me or something?

Good luck from the Hitchhiker Empire! Looking forward to having more rising empires to compete with. But really, we all have a similer goal, TO KNOCK DOWN THE HIGH COMMAND HUGEMONY AND CLAIM OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE AS MOST POWERFUL GALACTIC POWER EVER TO EXIST!!! -Scot

I don't have the disks. Can I just give my serial number and have them sent? I never uninstalled GCII. I re-formatted windows only. Please help me, stardock. -Scot

I have a problem... in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, I haven't played DA in a while(it's too slow) and now the game EXE file is gone. If I don't play the games for a while the EXE file just disappears. I want to play DA so I thought I'd just re-install it. SDC's EXE file dosen't work either. So I re-intalled SDC. Now SDC says I dont have GCII. I tried intalling DA but it says I dont have GCII in the first place. I have DL installed and functional. I could be that the registry dosn't have a record of GCII being installed(forma

Yeah! I cherish my game. And please make me part of that beta testing team too. BTW, nice place you got there. Got any more photos(of the inside maybe)?

PM Drengin or Tech about it, I am sure they will grant you access. If your not in the mood I would be willing to do it for you. It's not that I am not in the mood, its just that I don't know how. What's a PM?(post message?) I just registered in the core a few days ago.

Could you hook me up to the private forums on the core? As far as their fighting style, it's like armed Kung fu Boy, they must be real wimps. However, I always wanted to see a gerbal slapping someone's behind with a towel all "kung-fu style". Heee-ya"!!! *THWACK*
