Reply to Stop AI Civs trading tech with each other... can we do this? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

BTW, have you guys considered, oh, reducing tech rate to very slow and see how that pans out? I'm going to do that next, but that's not a perfect solution. I like to do the research. I like to look at my empire, decide what I need most, and then get it. When I'm getting more technology through tradin

1) AI do not trade their tech to every other civ immediately (or near-immediately). This is particularly noticeable when I have a tech lead in the late game and a new minor civ shows up with all my techs, yet those techs still stay pretty much exlusive to me and them. Also if you looked more closely, certain AIs also seem t

If you were playing against a human, would they let yo

My audio's a little skippy. And when I was trying to build ships once, the saving dialogue popped up underneath the shipyard window, so I couldn't save any ship designs and the game crashed. Other than that, perfect.

Reply to Why are YOU not playing yet? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Because I'm downloading the game at about 1kbps, and that's when it's even downloading. It's spending a lot of time trying to connect. I figure I'll be playing some time next week at this rate. EDIT: I'm getting downloads ranging from 0 to 100+ kbps to 50 bps. What is going on here? And now I just timed out... EDIT: Oh god! At 26 bps the download is going to take 1.4 years...
