any news or ETA on the patch? :)

Ground Attacks sound nice, too. Invade the planet to steal ressources (money?). Techstealing is hard because everyone has other techs but maybe you can get a boost for your next research after "stealing" some techdata which means x% cheaper reserch for the next tech.

If Sins and WoW would be for consoles I would almost never turn on my pc. Consoles are just much better for games because there is only one hardeware and there are NO compatibilty issues for graphic cards or too slow machines where you get umplayable framerates. On PC you have to buy a new one after a few years to play new games. :( Regarding Speed: Maybe they could add a "Turn-Based" speed and each turn is a few seconds of gameplay and then it pauses until everyone hits "end turn".

the font was just too small. :SURPRISED: ;p but I noticed with 1.01 that the preview of a custom map sometimes does not seem to work properly. i got an emtpy galaxy but there were planetgroups and i could not zoom with the mousewheel. After exiting with quit game I had a blank screen with a planet and no menus - was fixed after hitting ESC a few times. o.O

sounds nice, you could transform deserts to terran planets (but it should be expensive to terraform). (excessive bombings on the surface could make a planet quali bad and turn it into a vulcanic world?)

Hello. I think it would be a useful addition if you could [B]show more Info about the prereq. Technologies in tooltips[/B] for buildings and ship. Maybe only if you use the ALT Button while hovering the icon to keep the tooltip small. Especially new players who don't know the techtree from start to end would benefit and they wouldn't have to search a few minutes to find the tech they need in the techtree. Another thing you could add is [B]a feature that jumps to the techtree and highlig

The title and subtitle says it. It would be nice to have new settings for faster and slower gamespeed. Some round-based veterans must take their time to create strategies and newcomers need to read the tooltips carefully to build and research the right things. A "Slower" speed would be nice for us.

Hi! Does anyone know how or if you can change the timezone in the forums? I live in Germany and the timezone here is GMT+1. It would be easier to find new posts if the time is correct. :)

I have just clicked on the option to Disable the intro video in the settings. ;) I can't remember the exact name but it was one of the lower buttons on the left side. There is only one option on the screen allowing you to disable the video. No need to change .ini files.

Very nice. But on the EASY AI Setting I had no real problems with pirate attacks and siege frigates. ;) I will have to try the normal and hard settings soon.

Can you tell us more about the "other enhancements" please? What kind of enhancements? More Icons for the players, other textures/effects, more credits..or what? :) I have just downloaded the game and installed the bonuspack but it was too fast to take a closer look at what files are installed.

@Mintiper: hmm I could buy things with PayPal even if my account there is at 0 $/EUR. they get the money from my bank 2-4 days later. Did you verify your bank account?

I played a small map yesterday with slow speed setting and normal research (9 planets I think) and it took us 4,5 hours to finish it. :) But for some the speed is still too fast (for the old and round-based players ;) ) and it would be nice to get a "Slower" speed setting.

Great! :CONGRAT: Time to checkout and download.

I hope you can download a german localization if there will be one in the future. btw: why can't you download GalCiv 2 in German, there is a german version but no download for it? :SNIFF!:

...there should be a shipdesigner to design your ships *dreaming of MoO2* :NOTSURE: I played Sword of the Stars a few days ago and the battles with the targetable shipsystems were great! you could disable the engines or aim on every turret and other parts of the ship. If you destro the tank of a tanker - there is no fuel for the rest of the fleet. But it's unplayable in multiplayer because its just stuttering the whole time (if the other player has low fps - even with lowest settings

The GalCiv2 Updates are sometimes only at 200-300 KB/sec. But my DSL could handle 1,5 MB/sec. I hope this is better with Sins. Huge files are loaded faster usually. But many small files are slow.

A Button to crash into other ships (suicide) would be nice. :D Let's ram our biggest ships in the enemies ships or planets just before they explode! :HOT:

Is the "My Games" folder in My Docs not from MS, too? Many MS Games use this folder as far as I know. I believe the game folder is even better than the hidden app data folder. /edit: hmm just looked for the folder but I cant find an Ironclad folder in the AppData (Win XP). :NOTSURE:

but there are more than 3 heroes, especially with the addon (there are many new neutral heroes like goblins, naga, pitlord...) ;) It would be strange to gather lumber to build starships but many things are just like they are in WC3 - and that's good. :CONGRAT:

no, the game is too short/fast! I hope there will be a "Slower" setting with a future patch. :)

Will there be a German version?? I hope it can be translated with just replacing some files because I dont want to wait weeks/months to get it. I will buy the English version tomorrow. ;) (my GalCiv 2 is english, too)

I am from Germany and will buy it tomorrow..and I got GalCiv2 in english, too. Do you think noone in Germany or Europe knows English? :LOL: I wanted to try GalCiv2 in German but I never found a download for the localized files and Stardock Support could not tell me where to get it. (:( But most times translations for such "huge" games (with many text) are bad or have much errors. So I just played the english version.

How can you not compare it if almost anything is the same? :LOL: But better copied well as poor self-made. ;p It has "Heroes" with special abilities that level up. Mana is now Anti-Matter, it has the same (3) ressources, upgrades to units via the tech tree (you use special buildings in WC3)... after a few minutes I felt like I was in WC3..but now in Space - and I like space better. :)

I hope it downloads fast from here (Germany). I will buy the CE tomorrow in the Stardock shop and start my new career as galactic emperor. :CONGRAT: (there is no other version available as direct download, right? only collectors edition)
