Wordpad is my choice. The only problem I have ever had with an addition not working in the game, is when I make a typo.

Reply to RaceImage limit in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I image you can have as many as you want. I don't think the images and logos are linked to each other. I just name them similarily so as to minimize confusion.

Reply to RaceImage limit in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

You can add more Images and Logos by renaming thus: for example RaceImage_Vorlon and RaceLogo_Vorlon or RaceImage_Dalek1, RaceImage_Dalek2 etc. Hope that helps.

I wish you could bomb planets or better yet a way to turn a planet into so much cosmic dust.

Reply to Tactical Combat Suggestion in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I would sell my mom for a Battle Fleet Gothic tactical game. And I agree that it is definetly the best game GW makes. The Babylon 5 A Call to Arms game by Mongoose Publishing seems similar to bfg (just picked it up and read the rulebook, but haven't played yet). Anyway, tatical combat would give GCII more depth. I'm sad to hear that they can't upgrade GCII with it. Hopefully it will be in a sequel. And with tactical combat, carriers would be feasible. Plus I would pay for a GalCiv Tactics game.

Reply to Surrendering needs an overhaul in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, it is a bit frustrating when your target surrenders to another race. I agree that "terms of surrender" would be a cool addition.

Reply to High-Res Startrek ships in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I was refering to the ship styles that come with the game. I apologize for saying anything misleading. You can make ship styles beyond the ingame ones. However, you don't have to make new styles, the ships can be added into the existing ingame ship styles.

Reply to Who Wants a Carrier Poll to Settle This in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm for the poll. Although unsure about carriers. I feel that the way the game plays presently that they might not work to the satisfaction of enough people. However they might be a consideration for a sequel.

Reply to Am I The Only One Bent On Galactic Dominaton? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm all about the Galactic Domination. And of course I use trade to increase revenue for my militaristic expansion. I find that it is best to trade with the minor races, they are also good for tech trading. Because thay are only a minor race you don't have to worry about them conquering your planets and can trade techs you wouldn't normally trade to get the techs you don't have. And once they have outlived their usefulness, crush them.

To MOIISKA There are only 5 playable ship styles in the game (6 if you count the dreadlords) so if you add ships they have to go in one of the existing styles (Terran, Altarian, Drengin, Yor, Iconian (I think those are the right names)). And you can have ships replace the existing ships or add them as additional ships.
