[quote who="Horemvore" reply="2" id="3722289"] If you made the factions via the ingame builder, what he said ^^. Otherwise you can always transfer the Civs to xml. Then you can set the "HideFromSelection" flag to true before you boot the game to "hide" factions you do not want that session. [/quote] This sounds perfect. I'll give that a shot. Thank you!

Hello all! I love having custom races in GalCiv, but I want them to be available to the player only. When I start a new game I like to choose random opponents so I never know who I'm gonna play against, but I don't want the custom races to show up as an opponent. Does that make sense? Is there a way to do that? A way to modify the custom race so they are only usable by the player? Thanks in advance!

It's posts like these from Frogboy that made me fall in love with Stardock many many moons ago. That is also why I own nearly every game they have made in the last few years. It's good to see him standing up for all the employees of his that made this game. You attack his team and he's not going to take it. Bravo!

These are great! I'd love to see more! Especially if you have one that is human-looking. I like to play a race of humans, but they aren't Terrans. Kind of an off-shoot, or a rebellious, more violent faction from the Terrans. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Also, do you happen to have the .xml for the actual custom races you have in your screen shot? That would be amazing. Then all I'd have to do would be start a new game and choose the races and GO! Thanks for all yo

Well, I see on the top of the GalCiv3.com site a tab for Metaverse, and there are players who have posted their scores. How do I start a Metaverse game? I don't see any option for it when I start a new game. Maybe I'm just missing something though. If anyone knows I'd appreciate knowing as well! Thank you in advance!

I read about this game a while back and thought it looked great. I did not realize that it had released though. I may have to check it out when my computer is back up and running again... :(

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="16" id="3426290"] To be honest Dave Mustang wrote some of the songs for the first 4 albums thats why they knew how to play metal in 80's and changed how they sound afterward.[/quote] Dave Mustaine helped write most of the songs on Metallica's first album Kill Em All and a couple on Ride The Lightning, but after that it was pretty much all James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich.

[quote who="nOObonian" reply="4" id="2807602"]So what are the write limits? 1,000 times?[/quote] I was going to ask the same question. What do you mean my write limits? As much as Windows is always writing to the HDD, wouldn't that be a problem? Or is it just a limit on how many times you can wipe it and start clean?

[quote who="blickwinkel" reply="2" id="2803869"]Thank you for response, but I still don't know where it is and what to do. Did you mean re-activate?

[quote]I ran the game out 300 turns[/quote] This may be a silly question, but how do you do this? I've wanted to test some things in my game before (like testing a custom ship style to make sure the AI uses it properly) and I didn't know if there was a way to advance the game that many turns to see what happens, or do you actually have to play through that many?

I play GCII on Windows 7 64 bit. I installed my version of the game via Impulse. The only issue I had was that I had to enable the hardware mouse as the in-game software one did not work well. I'm sure that is just my hardware though. As heft posted above, just make sure your DX is updated, and that your device drivers are updated and working.

[quote who="aeligos" reply="10" id="2802605"]I'm going to start GalCiv II real soon and it will be on a new laptop with Windows 7. But I wonder, will there be compatibility issues with Windows 7 ? I do have GalCiv1 on my xp laptop but from what I understand, GalCiv 1 won't run on Windows 7 so maybe I won't bother with that game any longer. -.-[/quote] I've been playing GalCiv2 on Windows 7 64-bit just fine.

I play Twilight as well, latest patches. I remember that Tech Brokering option, I didn't think about that. On a side note, I tried this again with another minor race. I traded them for all of their techs, money, and IP. The trade was successful. I then invaded, and with my luck, I failed again! So, I made sure I finished out the turn, quit the game, and loaded back up a save. This time I was able to do the trade again successfully, and then I killed the minor just as I wanted the seco

Hello all! I'm having a strange problem in my current game. I was using the strategy where you trade with a minor race for all the techs they have and all their money, and then immediately after defeat them before they have a chance to trade it to anyone else (cruel, I know...). Just in case, I saved my game, and then I traded with the minor race. It was going great, I talked with them and got all of their technology and all their money in exchange for some of my own technologies. Imm

I'm still playing. I go back an forth a lot. I'll play a game or two (which can take weeks or more) and then I'll go play something else for a while, but I love this game and I always seem to come back to it! [e digicons]-_-[/e]

Ya know what, I did the same thing last year. I had used Outlook almost as long as you. I even ran my own Exchange server at home to handle my personal domain's e-mail. Then I started playing with Google, and it just made so much more sense. I was able to copy all of my old e-mail into Google and just keep going like nothing ever happened. I don't have a Droid yet, but I want one VERY badly. That was one of the reasons I started looking at Gmail in the first place. I fi
