Reply to Population growth in v1.11 in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

So I go to wiki and still don't have all the information I need for population. From wiki: Maximum Population (in billions) = 0.02 * ( ( PQ + 1 ) ^ 3 ) w/ PQ = Planet Quality PQ = 8 -> Max Pop = 14.58 B OK, thats not a problem. Unless you move people to the colony, this is the max population. Population Growth = CurrentMorale X Government Level X PlanetQuality Factor X GrowthFactor. Current Morale in what units? (% ?) Gove

Reply to Placing starbases in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Think it was in some of the Journals, but I read this will be changed with 1.2, so starbases will take effect on every tile their circle touches ... Do you mean individual planet tiles on the surface? If so, how will you know that?

Reply to Placing starbases in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

The constructor needs to have a more visible circle of influence. I agree. Why not have the constructor highlight just like the starbase itself does. I never have a problem with that. In fact, the circle created by the contructor is slightly smaller than the one by the starbase so you also have to be careful there.

it's much better now I'll have to go back and look. MOO2 was my all-time favorite and I had high hopes for MOO3 when it came out. But when I played it, I was extremely disappointed.

I was curious about that as well since moving people between colonies in order to maximize population and therefore taxes is dependant on how this works.

Reply to Trading Alliance Tech in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I am going by memory but I am pretty sure they were at least "warm" to me. We had been trading for some time but they had simply not researched alliances yet. I will go back and look but I thought if alliances were available, it showed up but they just might not take you up on it if you offered.

Reply to Poll: Would you be interested in a large package of hulls/ship pieces for $8.95? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I would rather have this extra art content coupled with the expansion. If the expansion is $30 instead of $20, so be it. That would be the best way to make sure I don't buy it. I could care less about the look of ships. I play because I enjoy the game. Don't make me pay for you to play with ship designing.

Reply to how do you transfer population to an already settled planet? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Shuttling people around helps immensely. Try and get every colony to at least 1 billion pop as soon as possible. Just doing this much will improve most players games by 20% if they aren't doing this now. Doing this will increase the overall population and give a player a much larger tax base. I have heard this statement before and there are a f

Trading Alliance Tech in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I am sure there is something I am overlooking here but I had a case where I wanted to have an alliance with a race that did not have the tech yet so I gave it to them. I still could not do it. It would not even show up on the list.

Reply to Regarding Used Copies of GalCiv II in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

For what it's worth, a license for software is a contract between the purchaser and the software company (or a company the software company has contracted in one way or another to "sell" its product), so unless the contract (EULA) explicitly states that the license is transferrable, it isn't. Thats not correct. It is transferable unless it is

Reply to Latest Microsoft Update Breaks program - even if you don't have Nvidia card - Beware in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Its funny to read all of these posts that denigrate Microsoft while many of you have probably supported other software with similar problems just because you liked it. GalCiv2 for example has had some problems and when someone complains, I have seen many of you say its because of all the different kinds of hardware you have to live with in the PC world. Think of the issues Microsoft has to deal with and the hardware universe they are fighting. Programming in many cases fails when the programm

When everyone says there needs to be more diplomacy on GalCiv2, I think of dickering. I think there needs to be more going back and forth rather than, how about this deal and a yes or no. Maybe a if you won't do this, then how about... You also need the ability to say, stop doing that or else.

Colony ships...When I pull up the Planet Screen to see the Unowned Planets, if I click on one to move the screen to it, might it be possible not to de-select my colony ship? I hate having to click the find button a few times until I find my colony ship again. I second, third, and fourth this suggestion.

Reply to Why Does All The Planets and The Star Have The Same Name? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

For your custom race, your homeworld name is the same as your system name. When you create a custom race, you give a name to the homeworld and it can be different than the star.

Reply to Something missing from the game: atmosphere in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I tend to agree with your points but it seems to happen more than would be indicated by them (except for the stupid one). The reason I bring this up is due to the disussion on different races should like different planets. It almost looks like it might do some form of that.

Constructor Effective Circle Bug in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Has anyone noticed that the highlighted circle that gives the effective area for a starbase if it were built in that position is different than the size it is after the starbase is built? The constructor's area is slightly smaller than the starbase is. I have seen this multiple times but have not confirmed if it is all the time.
