Reply to Gameplay Example: Computer AI in transition in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Re: non-optimal game mechanics. Would it be better if players were allowed to extort or gift techs even with the no tech trading option enabled? Seems like we're losing an interesting dynamic here, one that has little to do with the complaints about the AI trading too freely. Of course, it also seems like that would only benefit aggressive, "evil" players, while "nice" players would have to... turn on tech trading. *Scratches head in bemusement.*

I'm fairly certain the developers have stated that minefields were not being considered for implementation. Not sure where they said that, though--if anyone has a link, throw it up on here.

Works for me in 1280x1024 (only tried windowed mode). I'm on a nVIDIA Go 1440 something-or-rather... Highest res. in the interface settings for me is 1900x1200.

Oh, and you Stardock guys really should stop running this app in debug mode.

Aye, many people have mentioned this (there are a couple of threads on it already, such as here: https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=162&AID=103148). Seems to be a common problem.

Reply to Yawn. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Ships start out with WAY WAY WAY too much range...I guess I will have to wait for mods and hope they can be used to put exploration back into the game. If my eyes don't betray me, it should only take about 5 minutes to do that. Only have to edit a couple of lines on two files...

Reply to how to cancel ship building in Strategies Stardock Forums

I think he's talking about purchasing a ship (ie, getting it next turn), as opposed to having your shipyard build one? I've had that problem before--accidentally bought something for a couple hundred BC when I really didn't want to.

Reply to Why on why Can't I Edit Existing Ship Designs??? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Well, it took me a good ten second to build a new "default" constructor or colony ship--one that I could upgrade. Throw a couple of engines, some life support, and the required module on there and you're good to go.

(Modding) Adding New Ship Models, First Attempt--Bird of Prey in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Prefaced by saying that I did *not* make this model. It was authored by William Burningham and I found it at this site . That said: Bird of Prey In-Game It's a pretty high quality model, so I can imagine that a few of these ingame would bring a good system to a halt. Colors/textures are wrong--the engine is painting the whole

Counter-espionage--me likes. Black ops, misinformation, stealth tech. Destabilizing enemy colonies, creating "incidents" to sow the seeds of mistrust between two nations.

Reply to Why I Hate the Ship Builder... in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

The ships are easy to make--putting them together is fairly intuitive. I got the hang of it after just a couple of minutes. It's just very easy to get caught up in adding all the little "extras" and making it look uber-cool.

Blender ( Link ) can export in the .X file format. I'm relatively new to it, though, so I can't vouch for its validity or quality.
