[quote]I know this has been talked about in the past, and i really should have thought to bring it up again sooner, as the new expansion is probably already set in stone by this point. BUT, i would LOVE to see a "laboratory" module introduced as a ship component. Im tired of ships only being good for war! The only other use for ships right now is as surveyors. and you can only have so many of them. What i propose is this: 1. A module that would produce a set amount of research points ev

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar for Strategy Game of the Year in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

The only 2 truely excellent games up there are SupCom and GalCiv2. World in Conflict? Give me a break on that one. C&C3? No thanks. The others, I won't even bother. I really like SupCom but GalCiv2 is far more superior. SupCom just gets too ridiculous, I mean units EVERYWHERE and you can't manage any of them. Online multiplayer is even worse, units everywhere! Way too overwhelming and stressful. Just too much going on and too fast to manage it all. I do like the game but man it nearly drives me

Reply to NEW POLL: December or January release? in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

With most companies, I would say definitely wait. With SD and how they have been supporting the best space strategy game ever, I actually think they can release it in december. You can bet if the game is released in december, they will follow up with a strong patch anyway. I am going to vote december because I think SD can pull it off. If this was a full blown sequel I would say wait but GalCiv2 is already a solid proven game. So any patches for ToA will probably be just balancing patches and/or

Planet terrain spaces still inaccurate in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I noticed the terrain squares on the planets are still inaccurate. For example, a square that is clearly not swamp will show as swamp and the ones which are swamp show as prairie. There are more that are off but this is just an example above. I wonder if 1.7 will address this? Seems a little problem that has been around the last few patches.

None of the images or links work for me, none of them has the file been removed or something? I have seen a class 118 before, yes 118 and I did not mistype that and I still have a screenshot.

Reply to A preview of the NEXT Galactic Civilizations II update! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Leasing? That is just a great idea! I never thought about that in a game and I don't think I have ever seen that. Maybe another good thing to add to this and it may just work very well would be a market for ships. In other words you can place a new or used ship up for sale on this market and an AI could buy it. You can set the price you want to sell it for and maybe if you have a high dilomacy skill it will be more likely you can sell it for alot more. Much like trading, how you can get better d

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar 1.6 released! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

You guys at Stardock just amaze me at the support you all provide for GalCiv2. This has been the case from the very beginning and I think it all sets a fine example of what makes a developer successful. I am not talking just patches but the big picture, the whole thing. Reminds me a little of the direction Blizzard started going in after their Warcraft series about 13 years ago. This said, I am forever sold on the GalCiv series, I can see this becoming what CIV became. A strategy title everyone

Reply to Supreme Commander or Command & Conquer 3 :Tiberium Wars ? in Strategy GalCiv2 Forums

Honestly my two favorite RTS's of the last several years are Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and Rise of Nations: Throne and Patriots. I've been playing RoN on and off since the release of the original game 4 years ago, which easily makes it the RTS with the best legs in my gaming history (and I've played most major releases in the genre back to Herzog Zwei, which invented it). I'm big into single player, though. If you're after a good MP game specifically I wouldn't be able

I really enjoyed reading that! I am interested to hear what had happened. From what he wrote in the ending, I think I have an idea. This said, he just made me want to play a gigantic galaxy I think I only played one of those once and it was before DA expansion.

Reply to Huge slowdown in DA on Vista - not the crash issue. in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I wonder why nvidia still has a beta driver?? I mean ati has fully released vista drivers for how long now? I thought nvidia was their competition. Having always been a fan of nvidia, I think all of this mess has turned me to ati. So my next cards which I am setting up with sli will be ati based. This time, I am truely disappointed in nvidia, I really am. Especially since its been months and still only a beta driver that still has issues. Then, all the while the ati guys are laughing since they

Reply to Planet surfaces map off in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Its kind of silly to see a tile which is in the ocean listed as prairie as in my screenshot above. This used to work fine and at first. I though it could have something to do with vista or maybe my video card or screen res but don't seem so.

I am not sure what is causing this... If you look in the screenshot you will see it appears the planet surface map is off by several spaces. It looks like about 6 in that picture. This appears to be a bug, anyone else experience this?

Well I got this game Wednesday, and for the past two days I've tried, failed and quit repeatedly every night for probably 6-8 hours straight. Not sure what my problem is. I always play as the Altarians, and set them up to have +60 Economy, +45 Research, +25 Luck, +25 Creativity, leave their Morale bonus alone, and choose Technologists as their political party. Sometimes I'll even get set up well, but I always fall into this stupid pattern where I claim about... 5 or 6

Reply to How copy protection creates pirates in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

I agree with what Brad mentions and SD's way of thinking regarding piracy. One thing I can add, me and a friend have thought about a good way to prevent at least some piracy. As very long time gamers, we both feel if a game comes with a little extras, a would be pirate is more likely to buy it. Extras such as a tech tree, nice manual, unit card, things like that. Of course this would increase cost in producing a game but I feel it will increase sales and reduce piracy, so in the end, a company i
