Interface changes? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

In Galciv 1 the interface/music changed when you switched between alignments. I've never really noticed this happening much, besides maybe music, in the beta. Is this going to be a feature in the game? Definately adds ambiance to an "evil" or "good" civ.

Reply to OMG No multiplayer... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Every multiplayer TBS game I've ever played on-line versus strangers goes goes something like this: 1) I play for an hour and the other guy quits. 2) I play for an hour and the game starts to turn in my favor slightly. Guy quits. Whether this be CIV IV or HOMM3 or MOO2. Yes thats why whenever I see someone

Something missile with turn "SITREP" in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The one main thing that annoys me with this game is the build reports that it gives you at the beginning of the turn. It only zooms to the planet's production queue. When you have a lot of territory and you are building ships it gets difficult to move all over to find the planet that the ship was built on. What i'm saying is why isn't it when you press the icons on the right-hand side of the screen that shows ship built that it doesn't just

Why do game sites compair this game to MOO2? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Playing Galciv2 and reading what their adding it sounds more like they took the best from GALCIV + some ideas from Alpha Centauri than from MOO2. This game is completely different to what MOO2 was, almost like a completely different genre. That definately isn't a bad thing, imo SMAC is the best game ever made and combining its winning elements with what we allready had in GALCIV will only equal success. Also the fact that the origional concept of Galciv on OS/2 was like Ci

Reply to Is Sony Losing Out? in Console Games Stardock Forums

TBH A lot of talk about 360, but not a lot talk about games for 360. We all know what happens to counsels that dont deliver the games... Eh? I just got a new EGM that shows around 20 xbox 360 games. IDK what your talking about. Also go to gamespot and look at their 360 page. 360 looks to have far superior games than PS2 or PS3 had/wi

Reply to PC Game Roundup - Sept '05 in Gaming Stardock Forums

Another shitty month for gaming...... when do we ever have good months? Only when one title like Civ 4 or something like that comes out. Tired of these monotonous games. AOE 3 is a dissapointment as well. Just a rehash of every other rts the last few years.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations is not Master of Orion in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Yes GC saved the space empire building genre. If it were JUST Moo3 the genre would be dead easily by now. Now Galciv is the only game besides space empires (which i personally dont like) in this genre. Keep up the good work. And you are 100% right, the fans for MOO wanted a MOO2 with better graphics and some tweaks. MOO2 in itself was an almost perfect game, just needing some minor tweaks to make a 3rd game and modernizations would of made a great MOO3. Quicksilver sucks and Alan Emer

Mouse acting weird. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Just loaded up Beta 3 and the mouse acts really weird in game. When I dont move the mouse the pointer dissapears and when i actually do move it the pointer blinks. This normally wouldn't be a problem however it wont let me scroll to the right or up when in the game map which is really annoying. I tried closing all programs/windows and it still causes this problem. Specs: Athlon 3000+ 1gig ram GF 6800 GT 256mb Also I

Reply to WoW is fun, WoW sucks! in WoW GalCiv2 Forums

WoW involved too much camping and reliability on getting in a GOOD group for me. This missions in it sucked hardcore.... Collection missions where you had to collect large amount of drops in player-infested areas.... Boss-kill missions where you had to fight through hoards of elite mobs that will spawn on top of you as soon as you get to the boss.... Fetch missions...... That is what all the game involved for me. Sure I knew PVP would be fun but I couldn't get pact the

Reply to Realism in space-strategy games in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

IMO scaling is not important because i take the game as being a "tactical display" However have a realistic amount of Binary Star systems would be not only realistic but would not harm the development much at all. IMO that should definately be added.

For anyone who believes firmly in ANY projected software release date - I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona that I'd like to sell you.

Reply to Race Editor in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

only problem with these types of games in multiplayer is that they take sooo long if you want a good game that you need REALLY dedicated people. I've been playing these types of games online since Master of Orion 2 on TEN and have yet to get in ONE that lasted. Only thing we did was beat MOO2 on hotseat once but that isn't online. This game is supposed to be really moddable so im sure you can make custom AI players. The AI is supposed to be adaptabl

Reply to Space Empires V screenshots in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Malfador sold old and turn the battles into a RTS. I have no interest in this game because of that, that was the first step that Quicksilver did to put out the blasphemy that is Master of Orion 3. I really wish people would stop stepping into the RTS bandwagon, its an oversatured genre and putting it into a turn based space strategy game is NOT what the fans of the genre want to see. SE4 was a great game, we played it on lan at my house often. I also liked its single player and
