I encountered a minor problem in my latest game. Didn't see it listed here.... On the Research Screen, no matter how I sorted the tech list (cost, name etc..), AVATAR Technology would stay at the top of the list (even though is was NOT the cheapest to research etc..) I don't know if this was caused by saving the game and loading it up the next day, it didn't seem to happen before I saved

Hey russellmz2, I had a chance to read yours :) I really liked the added graphics you put on your screen shots, to show where/how things happened. Nice Touch... Good win, did you submit it? How did you "stack up" against other people?

Reply to Trade Goods - what happened!?!?!? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

After reading all these posts, if I was Brad and company, I would NOT post any more updates to the game. Who needs the grief?? I would finish the announced expansion pack, and move onto a new project. What is the point in supporting a gaming community when the gaming community becomes rude and insulting and doesn't support you ??? (I mean who do you rude and insulting people think you are? Reality Check: You paid your money already! -> you are now at the mercy of StarDock! THIN

[quote]1.04b3 - it used to be if you didn't select a new tech when you finished one (or purchased the tech you were researching and didn't select another one), the game just selected whatever was at the top of your sort queue to work on...Now it doesn't. If you forget to select another tech, you will accumulate zero research for as many turns as it takes you figure out that you may have just lost your game because of this new "feature".[/quote] I am running v1.03 and was going to post t

hmmm... those are good points LDiCesare and MM77 that I hadn't really though about !! I based my statement on the experiences where in loose or coupled, I had the AI on me immediately and got clobbered. I found that with scattered, I had more time to expand, build up and dominate AI, maybe it is my weakness/inexperience in dealing with an AI that is close by....

Any news on v1.04? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I am itching, itching, itching to get v1.04 !!! Anyone heard any rumblings as to when the "patch" will be made public? I thought I saw a posting that it would be this week....

What do you think about the star selection: loosely coupled (right name?) tightly coupled (right name?) scattered I have been wondering if this selection increases or decreases the difficulty of the map?? It appears to me that scattered seems easier?

Reply to Poll question regarding AI intelligence in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

...it's ironic, cause I just answered the poll, and struggled on which selection to choose, then I saw this thread :D I am playing my first intelligent game right now, and seem to be doing "okay"... have been progressing up the AI difficulty ladder with seemingly no problems. Because I have not tried the hardest levels of the computer I selected "very challenging" as my vote Although I was tempted to choos
