Will this be the only new feature in the first beta? Or will we get a glimpse at the new spionage in it too for example?

Reply to How radical should expansion packs get? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Because i would like to have as many improvements in upcoming patches i would like to tell you "No, we do not want to buy new expansions" but if i am honest i will be forced to buy the new ones if they can keep up with Twilight ;) But please - do not disregard v 2.0 . I am absolutely stunned about your work with TA and the energy you spend in this game, you set my expectations very high, your fault. After what i have seen i can simply not be satisfied by "simple patches" with a few bug

[quote]I'm from the USA and I watched all five segments. I'd heard that stuff about South America before, but I must confess I don't know that much about it. Non-Americans tend to be much more critical of the USA, especially if their country has been ravaged by American forces at some time as the Germans were. I thought Pispers brought up some good points in his criticism of the US. He brought up nothing positive which just seems wrong. [/quote] It is comedy, not a historical analy

A german view on history and terrorism in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

Hello guys, since this is the only US forum i am in i will post this here. I know that political topics are disliked because they tend to start flaming, but i think it is really worth watching. What i am showing you is the performance of a political comedian - a very funny and very honest (sometimes too honest) show about the events of September 11th and about the historical background surrounding it and US foreign policy. The show is in german, but the translator has done an excellent j

I believe there is an option "auto-focus on next ship left with moves" in the options. Try to disable that and see if it works.

You do know there is no real multiplayer in GC2, dont you? In the metaverse scoring there is only one pic for "custom race" The only one seeing your pic will be you. But hey, nevertheless editing the logo as well is really cool because every planet has your own, customized symbol ;)

Is the galaxy map working the way it should do? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Through the forums i got pointed at the small button on the left side of the small galaxy map, that shows up an symbolic overview of the galaxy that is zoomable as well. But i do not understand the way it zooms. It actually seems to zoom to the lowest corner of the galaxy, no matter where my screen is located or where i click. A zoom to cursor option wopuld be great here...

Reply to Some improvement ideas in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I do agree, the upgrade all of this typen in one fleet option would be great. Additionally it would be good if upgrading ships could be distinguished from others more easily. I have to click through them often to see, which one has only 1 hp.

Could you give us at least a small hint when approximately to expect v2.0? What you said sounds great - but no pressure on my side, as with TA please take all the time you need to bring it to a polished state. Rumors are 2.0 will be the last update, is that true?

Reply to How can I add new photo's to the race photo list? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Just go to your /My Games/GalCiv2/gfx/portraits folder and copy the image to there. It is important, that it is in *.png format, you need a graphics software that can handle it and save images as png. (I use Macromedia Fireworks, but for a really good freeware graphics software check www.gimp.com) I do not know for sure but it may be, that you need to adjust the size to the exact value needed. For race pics this is 256x256 pixels. I do not know if they get resized if you have another size. If yo

IF you EVER worked scientifically and used the SI-system of units, you would know what the benefits of it are. And you too would hate those that let you solve physics exercises where you have to deal with "pounds per square inch" and should calculate forces or something like that.

Hey, they are Americans, don`t forget that. F**k the metric system, f**k the 24h clock, America is a nuclear superpower, thats reason enough to do it their own way, no matter what rationality or others say. ;) (dont take that personal, just joking ^^) P.S.: Just recognized the ship intelligence report uses metric system - that makes it fair ;)

Reply to 24-hour real-time clock? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, sorry i misunderstood the problem. But really - there are more important issues the devs could fix than having a 24h clock. Its not that hard to guess the right time if presented in 12h style. And i am an european accustomed to 24h ;)

Reply to Terror Stars are too slow and defenseless!!! in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I would recommend building special TerrorStar-Constructors. Build a constructor with range and speed and take 6 of them. Have the TS techs researched and guard the constructors with fleets. (Or if you want add constructor module to battle ships) Fly directly into the enemies territory and construct it directly at the place you want to use it. 10 wks is quite some time, but at least you can do some damage this way. It for sure is not intended to smash the whole immense galaxy in a few weeks, it i

Yeah, hopefully the devs recognize that the new pi screen is not as appreciated as it should be - the videos are nice but there is missing the feedback from the battle. I would be satisfied if the planetary surface/wobbling flags-screen would be replaced by a small one showing the old battle screen. MAybe an option to switch between them and it would be perfect.
