My impression of the game: from someone who wasn't hyped up by Elemental initially... in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Hey guys, I just started playing Elemental yesterday and all I can say is: WOW [e digicons]:D[/e] I learned about Elemental when Frogboy was still writing the very first chapters of the developer's diary. Watched a few screenshots back then and thought it was too plain-looking: "nice try", that was my initial impression. I didn't hear more about the game till last fall, when the game was released. It was perceived as an epic fail, and Frogboy apologized for t

There's too much cursing on this forum.... in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Seriously guys, this forum is one of the best forums I've seen because the developers, especially Frogboy, do listen to us gamers and are sincere. The problem is that I can't look at a thread without eventually hearing someone swearing or yelling profanities just for the fun of it. Other people might be amused, but it gets old really quick. In addition to hiring Jon Shafer, Stardock should hire the forum moderator from Paradox Interactive, the creator of Europa Universalis

Reply to A Class 32 Planet! Woohoo! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks a lot, Feud, for the advice. But how do I make the image directly appear on the forum? By the way, Is this a bug or not, but why a class 32 planet with a population of half a billion would have an approval rating of around 50%?

Reply to What happens to social production when your not building? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I think in some way they are converted into cash, because the manual states that used manufacture point will require 1 BC to spend. But for me, if I am not building any social improvement, I usually just moved them to either my reseach or military, by going into the planetary management window and click the icons above to put more focus on the two areas. Of course, another alternative is that if all your planets are not currently producing, you can just set social productio

Hey Citizen Jeff Lackey, Thanks a lot for coming here! Sorry for the previous comment about you giving the game a "low" score and the reason being that you're new to this type of games. I admit that I am a bit overhyped with Gal Civ 2; I just believe that if Civ 4 gets a 9.4, Gal Civ 2 should get at least a 9.2. I am glad to hear that in your scale, GC2 is only a point away f

Can someone plz help me out? I've always want to know this.... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I always download the patch the traditional way and I don't use Stardock Central. But the problem is that all the patch that Stardock has put on this site is cumulative, which contains contents for all the previous patch also. So my problem is: if I already have patch 1.0D, is it safe for me to download and install the new 1.0X patch (which obviously also contains the 1.0D patch)? Will they conflict each other? Please enlighten me a bit! Thanks. <img src="smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIG

Reply to Techniques for Word-Of-Mouth Advertising in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The most effective way in my opinion is visiting the other space TBS game forums... then creating a topic which compares that game to this current game. As long as you compare the two games it's a valid topic. Great idea! After I am done with my work today, I'll go to Civ IV's forum and run a comparison thread. <img src="http://

Seriously, although I am glad the Gamespot give it a 9.0, I think it should be at least as high as Civilization IV's 9.4. I can tell that although the Gamespot reviewer has played the game thoroughly, just as Frogboy has suggested, it's definitely the first time the reviewer has played this sort of game, not to even mention GC1. I think that's the primary reason why the game's score did not rise above 9.0.

I really believe that it would be great for us to come up with some constructive ideas about how to tell our friends about Gal Civ 2, so please post your idea here if you've found it worked for you! Personally, my technique is: "Hey you know, the other day my friend who's a veteran in strategy games was telling me how great GC2 is, so being skeptical, I went to buy it yesterday after class, and the game is ind

Reply to The first sales figures are in! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Congratulations, Stardock! If you've read my post, "my friend wants to borrow my game" , in the general forum, you'll know that I've already decided to buy one more copy of the game so I can lend it to my friends, who wants to try the game out. (Of course, I will tell them that they only have 2 weeks of try before I need to lend the game to someone else; that way, they'll just go buy it themselves). <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Wink.gif" border=0 ALIGN="

Reply to My friend wants to borrow my game :( in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Alright, I'll just tell my friend to wait a bit longer and download the demo. In fact, I am actually thinking of buying another copy of the game that I can use to lend to other people exclusively. I've been thinking about that for a while, since my preordered copy didn't turn out to be a Collector's Edition. After seeing how good the game is, I just want that silver box that everyone's been talking about.

My friend wants to borrow my game :( in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The other day my friend came over to my room (college dorms) and saw me playing Gal Civ 2, and I was telling him what an awesome game GC2 is and such. Today he came over and wants to borrow the game from me to give it a try. My initial reaction is "Great! Finally someone in my dorm can realize how great the game is! "; my second reaction is "Oh no, how am I suppose to play if I let him borrow the game?! <img src="smiles/SadAngr
