Same here, i spent an hour trying to register with different names/passwords and it never worked (got mine from Amazon). Later...by sheer luck...i remembered my old username/password from Gal Civ(1st one) and it went through...wtf? Superb game btw, good luck guys:-)
"I would never play multi-player... I do not like playing with other people... gaming is a personnal relaxation for me. if I want interaction with other people, I would go out and play tennis, or go hiking, bike riding, go to my kick boxing gym etc..... or whatever." I want as many possible game features (-multi pla
;p We're not worthy, we're not worthy! LOL
:CONGRAT: You guys make me feel alot smarter, thanks :CONGRAT: Keep up the good work Frogboy! ;)
LOL I want my mommy :sniff!:
:notsure: After all this time (since release) i just had my first CTD at the planetary management screen. I had like 15 planets, had just tweeked them all, and when i closed the screen...BAM. I didn't save for awhile, sleepy, but lucky for me the autosave(12 turns) saved the last turn :sniff!:
I traded with a minor once so i could wipe out the majors. The infamous I-league, bastards, they declared war on me all of a sudden(politics) and they were loaded with cash. Trade not only makes you $ but the other party as well.
:notsure: Practice grasshopper...practice. Java's page is an excellent source of info as well as this forum. Be sure to say goodbye to all your friends and family as it gets real lonely in outer space LOL This game is SUPERB.
:) I played a couple games with it and i got a tech like an advanced hyperdrive. i forgot the exact name...universal/uni...dunno but man my ships were sailing across the screen. My trade income soared $$$$.
:sniff!: I cancelled my pre-order with them many times in the past. For games always use EB! they had Galciv the day before their ship date. Check this out...I forgot to cancel my pre-order with Amazon/Galciv and a week later it still said "usually ships in 2-3 days".You owe yourself this game/next day delivery :CONGRAT:
;) Well to those of us who actually "played" the game we know what's up. I've spent 5-10 hours a day with this game since release and feel confident in my/our opinion. The AI is real sneaky and intelligent but does NOT cheat!
I too think the review was unjust. You have to spend time with this game to learn the nuances."Onions have layers" and Galciv is one huge onion! A delicious one I might add :CONGRAT:
:notsure: I started out the same way. Then I just decided to give it a rest and do some research on this forum. Then I found Java's website and that helped alot. After that I started from scratch and am having a ball! Your not going to master a game like this over time but you can master it.
;p How many times have you had an AI by the "@#%&$" and then boom, you lose? I was shocked the first time the AI got sneaky on me and "left me for the other man". This game is like a rollercoaster, enjoy the ride LOL I love this game...MOO what?
This game is made the way ALL games should be. I have played every tbs made since the dark days and this game is in the top 2%(IMHO). It took me a whole weekend to figure this one out but once I did...awesome!!! You can be Evil and win alone you just have to be..."Evil" LOL
:) Good Idea. Why didn't I think of that. Here...a gift....Muhahahahaha!
:) I research all the trade options first thing and even playing as evil I'm able to have 52% happiness and a 40 tax rate with 5000+ in the bank. I just nudge the slider once in awhile to keep a 10+ flow. Meanwhile I'm killing everything that moves LOL except my "dear" trade partner.
:notsure: In my games when you get the message "that's too far" I send my ship/ships one sector closer and then "all of a sudden" they can go on from there. I don't know if it's a bug but I have been able to send constructors etc... all over the map.
;) There are so many "good" ways to be "bad" ;)
(:( I was two upgrades away from finishing my "terror star" and two planets converted to me and boom...Cultural victory. I want death, not culture >:( Great game! Took me a whole weekend to figure this one out but a week later( 5 games) I'm kicking butt!!!
;) Excellent work JNOV! Thanks for the info.
:notsure: What if you don't put any people on a colony ship manually?. It doesn't mention loading people in the manual.
I second that. MOO3 is pathetic, GalCiv is the way games are supposed to be.....Mmm...turn based...DOH! Love it!!! :D
