Reply to couple more questions.... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

how do you balance that with specialized worlds? do you just accept that ship construction and research planets are a drain that need to be balanced against econ worlds?

couple more questions.... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

ok well again, just got back into galciv2 and really starting to appreciate it. A couple things are the source of some consternation however. Sometimes....for whatever reason...my fleets don't auto-pilot! I have to "hand-fly" them across the galaxy. Thank god I'm taking my reinitiation with the game slow and am playing a medium map. They'll (the ships) start out with a movement of (for example) 3/0 instead of 3/3 and then the process of manually moving them begins. S

just got back into the game, have a couple of ?'s in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks for reading. I've owned the game pretty much since it's come out but just haven't been able to get into it much, even though i've wanted to. Now i'm finally coming around back into it and I could use some information. first is there a manual you can download for it. I haven't found one and I'd like to be able to understand the finer points of the game. e.g.: effect of population, approval rating, things like that. second is that I wasn't able to find *clearly*

thank you both very much for you quick and helpful responses.

comp crashed, lost my dl'd galciv2, any hope? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

recently I have become the victim of a busted comp that lead to (basically) the purchase of a new one. unfortunately I lost my downloaded copy of galciv2. Is there a method by which I may receive another copy or must I say an early goodbye? eric

Reply to approval went to %1 and could not be fixed...why? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I'm afraid the game is deleted. However I can assure you that my taxes weren't anything close to 80...off hand I want to say 39%. well hopefully it will not occur again. thanks for the reply

I posted this in game talk. didn't see a support forum from the main and just noticed it after completing the original post: after a hiatus I decided to play my GC2 game again. after downloading any updates I proceeded to start a new game. galaxy was huge, all variables were random. Not long into the game the drengin's started a war with me. eventually i had lost a planet but was in no way out of the game, in fact I had just researched planetary invasion and was about to take the

after a hiatus I decided to play my GC2 game again. after downloading any updates I proceeded to start a new game. galaxy was huge, all variables were random.

Reply to music options for those seeking different songs while playing in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

http://www.vgmusic.com/music/computer/microsoft/windows/index-sz.html well i like the melee music but not the hyperspace. I guess for me I just love to hear the (speaking in music-type terms) systhesizer pads bathing my ears with a little filter riding up or down. I used itunes to supplement the music for dominions 2 as well when the 3 songs there got old (that station was magnatune, just to give them some recognition..also in the 'ambient

Reply to I don't know if its been suggested but... carriers? in Warfare GalCiv2 Forums

doesn't just have to be fighters (piloted ships). I'd imagine that a more humane alternative would be small robot fighter-drones that are released and attached. defense category would be missle (point) defense.

Reply to music options for those seeking different songs while playing in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

i always build my own race so perhaps that's it. I always hear the same song. its not big deal. I really doubt i'd prefer anything over paxahau. the best space game music i've heard (for me) was star control 2 and i think eve online had some really good stuff.

music options for those seeking different songs while playing in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I find the music i've heard so far in galciv2 to be unappealing. others might as well so i'm posting my solution. download itunes (its free) and load up the internet radio stations. Open up 'ambient' and find a station there that suits you. Personally I strongly recommend paxahau ( i think I spelt that correct). works out wonderfully...really enhances my playing experience. I hope it does for you as well.

Reply to man do i suck...any suggestions? in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

ok i applied some of the basic knowledge shared by y'all last night and it worked out pretty well. again a medium galaxy, 4 other opponents (instead of 6 like the time before). I don't have an completely accurate idea how well it would have worked since I found two anomalies that were sittingo n 2500 BC...but then i'm not complainin either. I control 33% of the galaxy and only have one real competitor in the altaeren's (sp?). was fun an

thanks for the advice joe. I'll apply it as best I can to give it shot. cheat codes are never an option for me.

man do i suck...any suggestions? in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

howdy y'all... dl'd the game this weekend and I've never sucked so hard at one of these games. I do have experience playing civ(x), Moo2, dom2, etc but i seem to not 'get it' when it comes to this game. I have been playing my first couple of games in med galaxies with all 'normal' settings. typically on home planet I build farm, factory, facrtory, research then how I see fit. tundra colonies with like 3 build zones I make all research.

just got the gaem..things i'd like added. in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

hello... I just dl'd the game and enjoy it so far. I haven't played but a few hours but there are some things I'd like to have considered for future patches. - use of arrow keys (or numpad) to move map about - i'm only hearing one song so i'm guessing there wasn't much money put into music. that's ok but I'd like to 'alt-enter' the game so I can easily play my own music - there doesn't appear to be a method for adjusti
