Reply to Where epic meets boring! in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote who="Ephafn" reply="12" id="2140962"] well the problem with stopping the TBS of "the more you win, the more chances you have to win" is by doing something that would be... unfair. A good example would be to have luck be a factor. Or have mechanics that are designed to make the people in the lead be pulled back, or the people in back have a better chance... all these are 'unfair'. The main problem with the "win-to-win" situation in TBS is in the technological prog

Reply to Where epic meets boring! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Up to now no TBS like CIv really featured what happed in the real world. First of all communicatons and alarge empires. the bigger an empire got the harder it was to control simply because humans tend to follow there own ambitions. Rebellions whre constant in the old roman empire and other empires. LAst but not least lines of succesors family infights etc. most empires destroy themselves from within or corruption startws to set in. Usally an outside occurence is only the last strike to

Sounds like your desktop and in game resolution don´t match. Suddenly you can´t "push" the buttons right? Switch your desktop resolution and it should work.

Hi I had yesterday the same bug. I was trying to run GalCiv2 in a window and changed afterwards desktop resolution to 1024 x 768 in game the resolution was set 1280x1024 . Intro started normal, buttons didn´t work. Changing my desktop resolution back to 1280x1024 fixed the bug. Afterwards I swichted on playing in "Full screen" then I don´t have any problems with crashes. Changing the desptop resolution may fix your problem.</font

I like the no tech trading option still I would like it more if there would be something liek : You buy a tech but you still have to research 50% of it to get it to work. The problem with the tech trading was mainly tech whoreing for me. Buy tech sell it to all the others, rinse repeat...

Reply to German localisation in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Sorry ich habe gerade auf den Link geklickt und den einen Kommentar fand ich einfach zu witzig. "Auch daß die Spielzüge nun in Wochen, statt wie in anderen Spielen wie Moo1/2 in Jahren stattfindet, ist irgendwie sehr neu...aber irgendwo auch belustigend. Daran gemessen, forscht sich meine Rasse ja ganz schön schnell durch die Technologien. --- Aber das Beste daran ist ja, wenn man das Bevölkerungswachstum anhand der abgelaufenen Zeit betrach

Reply to VORSICHT VOR DER DEUTSCHEN VERSION!!!! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Zunächst Du gehst davon aus, das das Spiel nur mit dem Patch funktioniert 99% der Anwerden benötigen diesen nicht. Schlampig übersetzt kann sein, aber da solltest Du dich bei Paradox beschweren. Du könntest Dir natürlich die Mühe machen die komplett englische Version runterzuladen.

Reply to German version GalCiv2 in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Tja, glücklich sind die Käufer die sich die englische Version von play.com für 26€ zugelegt haben Anderseits Stardock ist nach meiner Erfahrung 1st Klasse im Kundenservice. Bezgl. Patches dies sind meistens Erweiterungen, zumindest war es bei GalCiv 1 so. So wird dies nicht der letzte Patch gewesen sein. Zumindest ca. 6 Monate bis 1 Jahr werden immer

Well I am not a programmer but minimum requirements are (from the box:) Windows 98/ME/2000/XP Pentium 3 800MHZ ;256 MB of Ram ; 32 MB directx 9.0c compatible videocard.

Reply to Don't want to use "Central" in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Well I love SDC. 18 MB its worth for me that it tells me patch avaible, downloads it and installs it. Quite painless. But you can download patches as standalone you only need your serial number. You won´t be able to download betas that way and the small updates Stardock usally puts out "every" week. You will have to wait a little while longer until the file is compilde into a mayor update. The game is running without the patch many "updates" are really that improvements . At least it worked that

I strongly disagree that "must know "everything. I although love strategy games but I can´t stand if not everything is predictable. In contrast to you, already the game is much to predicatable to me: like morale=taxes etc. Reallife is neither 100% obvious spreadsheet. You need for your enjoyment that a game is 100% predictable, I HATE such games. Can you tell me how much better an american marine is then an italian soldier form the 2nd w

Reply to Realism in space-strategy games in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I don´t agree that a certain level realism isn´t needed in videogames. Why bother at all with concept of spaceships ? Take cars as the vehicle to move between stars. Aliens: why bother ? Fish as pictures work as well. I really don´t know why Stardock did choose the label "week" for turns and the "population increase" in billions in a year... It s a good game but some decisions seem strange to me.
