I pre-ordered the digital download early and was under the impression we could pay a bit more and get shipped a box/CD/manual. Is this true and if so how do we do it? Thanks for everything! Looking forward to playing this great game. As a programmer myself, I say you guys are top-notch, first-class developers.

"Detail Animations Zoom Level" Option - What does it do? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

So I just downloaded Dark Avatar, and I was wonderin, what does the new "Detail Animations Zoom Level" option do? Maybe it's always been there and I just never noticed it, but the question still stands. Thanks!

Reply to Regret buying the game? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm surprised by the response to my comment about the forums. Haven't you been frustrated by pages timing out, posts not showing up, the site being overloaded? I understand that volume was greater than anticipated, but it's 2006, robust forum code and reliable servers aren't an unknown science.

Reply to Attackers Advantage in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

While i agree somewhat with this, what about the other way around. Since ships can detect enemy ships lightyears away, can they be able to suspect an incoming attack and be prepared as soon as the Attacks appear? Just because an enemy fleet knows another one is coming doesn't really help them; the at

Intiative can be highly relative. How does the hyperdrive work? if it behaved like in star control's Melee mode (for an analogy) and ships poped out of nowhere after warping for several seconds, it could catch the enemy off-guard even if it noticed the enemy ship away, it just jumped in too fast... I

Finished Campaign: Feedback and Question (Spoilers!) in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Well, overall, I enjoyed the small story the campaign told. Some missions, I felt, were better than others (I ran through the last 4 in about 1.5 hours) and it would have been nice to have some cutscenes, particulary for some of the cooler events (the flight from Earth and the use of the 'salvation' device). One thing I thought was odd was how many of the missions made you throw away a lot of the strategy you'd use for a sandbox game in favor of a part

Just bought game - a couple of questions in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

So I just picked up the Collector's Edition of Gal Civ 2 at the Wal-Mart in town, after searching CompUSA, Circuity City, Best Buy, and Gamestop to no avail. Oddly enough, it was priced the same as the regular edition (of which Wal-Mart had none). I had a couple of questions: - What all should I expect in the box? I noticed it's extremely easy to open without breaking the seal, and I'm just making sure that if I have the CD's, the manual, the collector's edition code, and
