Spring RTS Engine

i wish my rome CD didnt snap...damn casing...

.iso the CDs you plan to use a lot, like I do

I've gotta admit, I'm gonna get this game. Probably get the download stardock offers (Ye know, ye can download their games from their site for a small fee)

small=$45... and if you add shipping to that they will also mail you a CD

kekekek. Great game. Just one querstion. the enemies have far better econamy and stuff than me, Even thouh i'm trying damn hard to catch up. Anyone know how they do it?

By actually playing the game properly?

hmmm any tips on how I should do this? So far my games seem to be, xpand expand and at the same time economy research better marketting stuff etc, then ages later I have a nice area of influence and many starsystems but no defences at all, just a mass of colony ships and a few scouts, I'm guessing fi i ramped up the difficulty again they'd attack me before I started building military enmasse......

Yeah, you are right man!

Woot! They are going to make an Expansion for it! Adds more detail, And adds asteroids and Race specific planets. I posted it here because making a new thread would probebly make everyone say "WTF IS GALCIV 2?" and "WTF DRONE THERES ALREADY A THREAD FOR THIS FFS"

Anyway, link. You better get it :D

Yeah... I think they are charging too much for the expansion, but we'll see how I feel about it... the latest official patch fixed a lot of the gitches I hated about the game so I'm playing a whole bunch of it again... I'm concidering doing a Dune mod for it... basically the houses as races, a bunch of tweaks to this and that and custom planet and star names and events and such... race specific techs and buildings if possible... anyone want to help me?

I was also thinking that we could make a TA theme for it using the models from TAFF... but I don't think anyone would bother playing it anyways... basically just ARM and Core custom races and logos or something... star and planet names from the game universe and such...

All want for that game is too make it multiplayable =(

Heh, The expansion after dark avatar -Should- include some kind of multiplayer, Even if its just play by email.

bah... you can accutally already play hotseat multi (havn't tried yet), there is a cheat code that allows you to change players... all you have to do is before clicking your turn button, you change to the other player, then they take their turn... never tried it but I'm told it works rather well... I don't see why they can't just include this kind of functionality... it wouldn't be perfect but it would stop a lot of complaining.

I love GalCiv 2, but I can't buy the expansion until they make the original game work on my computer

have you gotten the 1.2 patch? it made a world of difference on my system... huge galaxies used to be unplayably slow... now they are playably slow... to the point that I have played a few games and decided I like the smaller ones.
