Is there a similar method to returning the galaxy setup settings back to the default?
Airborne Infantry
No one knows?
or.... does anyone know what the defaults are, so I can manually set them? I couldn't find the info on the wiki site.
I understand that there's no "in-game" way to restore the race defaults; one has to manually delete some files from his/her hard drive. How about restoring the galaxy setup defaults? Is there a similar work-around?
Still, wouldn't it be nice if you *could* re-size after placing?
Thank you for pointing these out. They were bugging me a little, but I'm too lazy to document them.
Ah, thanks, Citizen techn0mage. I was wondering about the terrain bonuses. I was thinking they weren't doing anything either. Just to make sure I'm tracking, if a research bonus is on a tile, any type of research building built there will receive the bonus, right? And the display won't show more beakers, but the economy management screen will reflect the added cost for producing the extra beakers? And as for starbases, I need to add some modules first? What about mining
I built an economic starbase adjacent to Earth, but when I go into the planet screen, and look at the detailed information, the box that displays starbase bonuses says that there are no starbase bonuses... This is only my second game of Gal Civ II, and the same thing happened to me during my first game. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
I completely agree. A war declaration popup is sorely missed.
So it's true that one cannot have factories AND labs both running at max. capacity?
haha I just asked this same question in another thread! I hope someone can explain this.
Citizen techn0mage, are you sure social spending is wasted if you have no social project? The manual says it's converted back into cash. Now I have a really dumb question. What do the sliders for social, military, and research do? Let's say my spending rate is at 100% (the slider underneath taxes)... doesn't that mean that my factories and my laboratories are working at full capacity? So what do the next three sliders do?? I really don't understand it.
Ah... I get it! Thanks! Okay, so I can set the game to the lower resolution and then play it in windowed mode to prevent the game from stretching the cutscenes and such. Thank you everyone!
That makes sense. How about windowed mode not working though? Does it only work for certain video cards, or something?
Do you have to ALT-TAB once to activate the windowed mode, or something?
Wow, thank you for the quick replies. I am running my computer at a resolution of 1280x800. The game offers me two resolutions: 1024x768 and 1280x800. Naturally, I have selected 1280x800. However, the game still appears to be stretched out of proportion. For instance, on the main menu page, the planet in the background doesn't look anywhere near spherical. I know that most planets *are* stretched horizontally to a certain extent, but this seems to go beyond that. Also,
I am playing the game on a widescreen laptop. Unfortunately, this means that the entire game is stretched out of proportion. Is there anyway to fix this?
Quick question: I am playing this game on a widescreen laptop. Unfortunately everything is stretched. Any way to combat this?
I was having the exact same problem. Citizen xFlukex , you're a lifesaver. Thank you very much!
I wanted to buy Gal Civ II online. First, I had to purchase Stardock Central. Done. Next, I have to download it. But here's the problem. The link is broken. Or the server's down.
