Reply to Are defenses simply to expensive? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

By observation best fleet seems now to be a combination of (1) several large or huge hulled ships with a big enough attack to penetrate the best enemy ship on average with max optimized defense and (2) a mass of fire support screening ships that are either (2a) A small hull with best weapon x 1 and some defense or (2b) a small or tiny hull ship best weapon no defense and very cheap. With 2a some small hull ships may survive, especially if you have tech edge. With 2b you ass

Reply to A thought of Praise in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I bought GalCIv2 because of the hard work you guys did after the GalCiv I release. This game is like a vision of what I dreamed the orginal could have been. After release you guys had been dedicated to getting it right. You can already count on my money for any expansions and GalCiv 3. Thank you for the many hours of enjoyment.

Reply to 1.2 - no auto centering on next ship in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

It would be nice if auto select could be disabled as a togggle. But Carielf had said before that is a more difficult issue. The removal of auto-focus was a highly requested feature, which Stardock reponded to. It makes a huge difference on large map sizes. After playing the beta since it came out , it is a great feature, and could be implemented without a tremendous amount of work. With the auto-focus un selected you can always now override the selected ship by clickin

Reply to Hooray for Gamers! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Stardock has an advantage over other companies becaue it actually supports it games after release. Maybe the other companies that insist on copy protection are assuming that they can't depend on THEIR level of support to provide an incentive for legitimate registration.

The obvious benefits of your support policy and the significance of the updates serve you well. I think you probably get as many conversions from pirated copies as you so from the online demos. The obvious upgrades to the game you get as a registered Stardock user, give a clear incentive to buy a legit copy. its obviously worth the money, once you start playing the game as see how much time you arewasting enjoying yourself.

Reply to N00b questions in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

i ususally try for conquest victory on larger maps high difficulty. I like two factories and a starport on every world. On a world larger than 4 , I also place one research lab and bank and the rest factories. That way, as you techs increase they get auto upgraded. I place factories or research on those bonus tiles and I build specials and trade goods wherever I can build them the quickest. I select a big planet or high manuf bonus planet as my ma

Reply to Did you know how the Free Cam works? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I like to at first (1) reduce the info box and (2) use it at half speed and then use (3) click and grab to find the angle I want and (4 ) then hit restart to watch the whole action. The settings carry over from one battle to another. Cinematic, free cam , orbiting and center out all give great but different views on a large battle.

Reply to Demo in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, Stardock should really fix this. I had some issue with demo and 1.1 until I completely purged the demo and reinstalled the game from CD and SDC.
