[quote who="Phylast57" reply="5" id="2834572"] crowbraid pours himself a generous mug of Guinness, decks out a plate with cheese, Gallo salami, and crackers, then sits down in a lounge chair to watch the game.

At the risk of being thought of as repetitious and an idiot, I'd still like to see an item editor.

I'd admire to see how you create different units. Or is there going to be a unit editor coming along? Thanks. Edit: I meant an item editor. Note to self: Engage brain before engaging fingers.

Wintersong: Just a small spelling error, under the heading "Champions". Champions of the opposite gender to the Sovereign can be proposed for marriage by the player. The Sovereign can marry only once and once married, and while both are alive, will eventually start founding the new Dinasty with some babies. The number of babies is four (supposed to be less if you picked Ugly for th

Reply to Problem Teleporting in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think I discovered my problem, mostly thanks to Vogar. In order to successfully teleport back to a city from the country, I have to move the shaded rectangle to an unoccupied square within the zone of control, then left click. I was doing one OR the other, but not both. Oh well. :P

Thanks, Vogar. I'll try that again, being careful of which button I click. Twohawks: That might be my problem as well. IIRC, my party was 20-30 spaces away.

Problem Teleporting in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I've tried to teleport quite a few times, and have been successful only once. I have 10 mana. This is how I've tried.. 1. Access spellbook of SOV. 2. Highlight Teleport and click Cast Spell 3. Move the shaded rectangle inside of city limits. 4. Click right button. 5. Nothing happens. I've tried clicking the left button. Nada. I've put the shaded rectangle outside of the city limits but inside the zone of control and clicked the right butt

Disabling WB on bootup in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I've scoured the WB settings and checked the Startup tab in Tweak 7. I cannot find where I can stop WB from loading. I don't want to disable it and I don't want to have to unload it. I just want to be able to boot up without running WB now and then. I'm currently running Windows 7 Home Premium and Windowblinds 7 build 226 x64. The setting is probably right under my nose (or fingertips), but I just cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Kenwas gone? in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

How To Stop Ship Building? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I've read through the forums, studied the manuals, left & right clicked everyplace I could think of (my kitty ran away when I started clicking her tail, however), and even googled to no avail. How the hell does one STOP ship building? I cranked out two scouts and then decided that I wanted to wait. Well, I could not figure out how to stop. I'm sure there's a way, right? -crowbraid-

Do I Have Movies or Not? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hi. I accessed my StarDock account today, intending to download the movies part of GalCiv2. SDC insisted that I already have them. I thought I saw another msg that said the movie download was around 500+mb. I'm sure I didn't download that. I checked the size of my GalCiv folder, and it's around 511mb. How do I (a) tell if I have movies, and (b) if I don't, how do I convince SDC of that fact so I can download them. Thanks in advance. -crowbra

Reply to STICKY: EASY TWEAKS to make the game better for you in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I'd like to see a 'sandbox mode' in this game, where the player could choose not to have any opponents. You can have no opponents in Civ4, and I've found that useful at times to test a strategy without an opponent introducing a variable. Thanks for the asking for input, btw. -crowbraid-

Kulgen & T-Man I had the same problem until I logged out and then logged back in to the GalCiv site. Dunno if that'll help in your case, Kulgen, but you never know. I'd sent a msg to Stardock support about it an hour ago because I couldn't even write a forum msg to complain. It's fixed now, so T-Man, if you'd kindly delete my request for help that I'd sent about an hour ago with the heading "GalCiv2 - logging in and downloadinng patches". Th

Reply to Everyone with laptops. in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I've got a Dell 9200 w/1.6gHz Pentium M. Running XP with Windowblind 5 the speed, as measured by i9Kfangui, is usually 0.6gHz, including the McAfee Security Suite (firewall and anti-virus). If I run the anti-virus scan or something else equally processor intensive, the CPU speed kicks up to 1.4gHz or 1.6gHz. If I run Civ4, it stays at 1.6gHz for the duration. My conclusion is that WB 5 doesn't seem to affect the Intel Pentium M.

Sysmetrix & DirectX9c in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Hi. I puchased a Dell Inspiron 9200, and it arrived Friday. I loaded it up with Sysmetrix and noticed the screen refresh was slow and didn't always refresh the entire screen. I ran dxdiag and it would bomb out on the DirectDraw test. I got to checking the programs I'd loaded, disabling them one by one, each time running dxdiag. When I disabled Sysmetrix, dxdiag ran fine. I checked that a couple of times, as I really want to run Sysmetrix. Nope, all of

Sysmetrix Feature Request in Windows Software WinCustomize Forums

I've sent email to the developer of Sysmetrix, but I've never received a reply. I understand that he probably gets hoards of emails and cannot take time to answer them, therefore I'd like to post this request for a couple of additional Sysmetrix features, and perhaps word will get back to him. (1). Gmail inbox checking requires SSL. It would be nice if Sysmetrix could do this. (2). I have a laptop and was always frustrated with the la

Hi, Rauhn. In the login field,it depends on your ISP. Some want just your user name, some, like Earthlink, want your [email protected] (or whatever the name of your ISP). I'd assume the combo that your ISP issued you is your preliminary password. Chances are you'd just put in your login at the "Login" field and your ISP will respond with a "Password?" query. There's probably a web page that you can go to if you want to change your password.<BR
