Reply to can gold edition go past 1.5? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

ok i got it to work i guess i was a fool for thinking the update game option was an automatic link. i didnt realize i had to go from news to my games and update with the dark avatar 1.8 link. its updated now though its gonna be weird playing with the buffed morale improvements. itll make the early game almost too easy for me. i got in a rythm with morale and still making money(no exploits), now i wont need to worry or even think about it early. i guess it will be a differe

[quote]Be sure to select DA (under 'expansions'). For DL, 1.5 is indeed the newest version, only DA is patched to 1.8[/quote] i guess i assumed since i had gold it would do that itself. ill try that next time i get a chance thanks

[quote]The best way is to use Stardock Central. It does a pretty good job of finding the right updates and getting them installed. Worked on my gold edition anyway. Be sure and download the gold edition extras if you aren't going to buy the expansions. I've been told they are in the new ones anyway, but not sure on that.[/quote] that's whats not working, stardock central. it says i have 1.5 and that is the latest availabe. is there a way to patch otherwise? garrett

Reply to Do Econ Starbase Bonuses Stack? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]The boni stack - those so-called 'starbase arrays' (usually military) are key in long, ultrahigh scoring games.[/quote] so, does that mean these starbases should be around the planet? their description says the route gets the bonus if it, and therefore the freighter moves thru it, if thats not the case than how exactly does it work? thanks garrett ps i meant to quote the post below this saying the bonus only occurs when the ship moves thru the area

please clarify a weird experience i had in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

i was playing the game the other day as the vasari and i went to an adjacent planet(desert), that at the time wasn't owned or colonized by anyone but when i see the replay the TEC faction had extractors and a trade port, and research station all providing their benefits even though according to the replay, the pirates had destroyed the colony but not the other stuff. so i go in trying to capture in neutral territory but it says i have to have the system in that case. is that a b

my game must be a different version in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

it's weird cuz the top 3 gameplay gripes/complaints with the ai, i have never experienced in the week ive played the game more than 4 hours a day experimenting with various combos or map sizes, ai skill, and opponent quantity. the main gripe seems to be the so-called siege frigate spam by the ai, and how they're way overpowered. never had this happen. every time the ai would come after me on any skill level no more than half the fleet would be siege and the fleets would be

Reply to Not So Much 4x But Things Could Get Better in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]All valid points but I can live without moons to be honest.And I can't ^^!The only thing about pirates that bugs me is that you don't know when you are "most wanted" on their bounty list, the pirate button should glow red when you are.Minor races should in some cases give access to new special unit´s/research item´s/artifacts if you took over their defended planet/base ^^.[/quote] with the pirates you do know who's wanted and when they leave their base the button does flash.

[quote]No campagin is not an issue, most tbs\rts do exactly the same thing sins does, basically at least 95% of the time spend with such a gaem with be in the "skrimish" mode.that said I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the game. It has the whole expanse of solar systems, yet I feel very constrained while playing. The biggest problem I personally have experienced is that I get no joy out of playing Sins, but I want to, thus why I haven’t given up on it yet. Perhaps the issue comes down with

Reply to does the vasari kortul devastator support squadrons? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

anyone? i tried the frontline radiance battleship from the advent that actually starts with 0 squadrons supported and it was greyed out but later on i got less experience then with the vasari one and it let me build a squadron. is it maybe command points cuz i did research one extra? but the game manual does say the vasari one is supposed to start with one which it didnt. garrett

does the vasari kortul devastator support squadrons? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

ive been playing the vasari alot the last few hours and my first cap was the devastator and according to the game manual it says it supports one squadron to start(upgrades to 2), but when i select it after it's built the squadron management button is greyed out and won't let me go in. then i gain a few levels and it's still greyed out. am i doing something wrong or is it a bug or what? or do i have to research something? thanks garrett
