Congrats! Even if you have trouble filling the orders, it's good to see you have plenty of them. The staffers here from what I have heard and experienced in my communication with them are the best around, I've had the best support from Stardock and I got no Microsoft answers. IE no perfectly valid, yet useless answer. I must admit, there's

Creative gives a chance at you getting random tech advances and better chances of getting tech upon invading. Also tech random events are better, from what I understand. After a quick check of the manual I have no more understanding of this trait.

EA sucks because it is not JUST a publisher, but a developer as well. They literally control the developers working for them, and they've not had a decent game since Tiberian Sun as far as I'm concerned. So three cheers for Stardock and GalCiv2! Hip, hip, hurrah! Hip, hip, hurrah! Hip, hip, HURRAH!

Sorry about my irritation, heh, I've worked as support now and then and it's amazing how many folks just don't read the manual! I try to keep my defense rate at least at 66% of the enemies attack rating. It's better to deflect most shots, than none.

Written by spam4dave: Maybe I can make something out of this day and at least TRY to get my Gal Civ 2 fix somehow. Ashenai was giving him a bit of a fix of GC2... and boy, what a story! Nice writing Ashenai! I bet you learned to spy o

This is a known bug, I myself learned this after reporting it too, and I think it's on the list of things to fix. I honestly don't even know how the ranger got messed up like that.

Do not reuse names under any circumstances, doing so can cause some major errors and even exploits. Don't do this. Go into your "My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\" Directory, find the ship designs and I would reccomend you clear the duplicate you do not want. The staff is aware of this type of bug, I believe.

I don't know of any popup menus, but you can scroll by clicking and dragging with the mouse. Doing this rapidly and letting go (without slowing) can let you "throw" the view a ways if you desire to.

It's done per planet. A colony has a base output of 5mt, supporting 5 bil, and adding a farm will give roughly a total of 9mt for 9 bil. I wouldn't build more than 1 farm per world until much later when you've got entertainment tech to handle the overpopulation and the related morale drop.

WOOOHOO! Way to show them all, Brad and all! Gaming isn't dead on computers, in fact, it's only changing hands. It's going to the indies! *gasp* No more EA Sequal #13's! No more endless fodder that you waste your money on!

I'm new to Galactic Civilizations, although I played the demo of GC1. I actually learned about, tried the GC1 demo and noticed the opening announcement for GC2. At that time it was for existing players only as a preview, but I have watched the game ever since then. I didn't want to beta-test, I feared that I would get bored with it, and so I waited for the release to near. And here I a

Dammit! Am I the ONLY ONE who reads the manual? Read the manual guys and gals! Here's an important excerpt answering your questions: Ship vs. Ship When individual ships fight, the attacking ship fires each of its types of weapons as a single shot. All available beam weapons, mass driver weapons, and missile weapons are grouped into single attacks.

Oh yeah, but I just had a problem too with upgrading my core design ships. If I tried to upgrade my "Flagship" I could not choose a custom design, though I could upgrade it to a core design. Seeing that the core designs were stone-aged in comparison to my custom designs, this gets a bit annoying. I'll try and get the save if you need it, but this seems standard now in my games (like the above error), and not accidental.
