I agree. you should be able to defend planets with fleets.
Beta Tesla
1) Planets only have different names if they belong to a particular race. I.e. Earth isn't called Sol 3. Altaria's sister planet isn't called Atarlia IV but instead Wisp. Ah but in the Korx start system, there's Korx II through IV, in orbit of Oxor!
Think the upgrading will make it to Beta 5?
I have lost 6 games that i had come close to finishing with total domination When ever I lost a game, I hadn't even come out of my quadrent of the galaxy. I have been creating and obsoleting a lot of ships however. I'll try play a game without Obsoleting my ships.
I'm always trying to zoom out via the mouse wheel 'cuz thats what I'm used too.
I think bug post should go in the Beta Reports, not Ideas
I would like a map as well
There is a major bug that is killing all my savegames. Every time I try to load a game the game crashes. I've lost 6 games that way.
Better yet, shoot down the enemy transports.
I agree, a button on the expense report to see your leases would be nice.
I always have "Universal Translators" as one of my starting techs'. And I agree, you meet the other civs WAY too fast.
There also does not seem to be a way to mine the mining reasorces.
There is a slider in the bottom of the ship view window that re-sizes components. Suggestion: Reduce the # of RED dots, change some dots to green, then you can filter the red and green.
I've had a very irritating crash bug with my savegames too. They won't work. Every time I try to load one, I get the "Encountered a Problem" error window. I've lost 6 games that way.
I've noticed that the example of "frictionless clothing" has be put forth as some barrie to races that don't need clothes. But with frictionless clothing, the emphasis is on FRICTIONLESS. The Thalans don't wear it for the warmth, but for the lack of friction.
How about custom races? I'm the Umbreal Sentience. The Sentience is a purely Artificial Inteligence. It has robot drones to do the grunt work. Similar to the Yor. How does that affect the tech tree and trade goods?
I have noticed that there is a "Mining bonus" on my planets, but no Mining improv. What's up with that?
One feature I always thought should make it into 4x games, PASSIVE RESEARCH. What I mean by that is instead of chossing a tech to research, you choose a research FOCUS. You choose what you want, and 2/3s of your research is put towards that tech. The other third is put to general research. So one month you get a message, "Independant researchers discover EMP technology!"
quote]a Drengin with long hair and lipstick Now that is a amusing thought!
Bump again. Will there be a manule rewrite now that Beta 4 is out?
This is a very irritating, game killing bug. Litteraly. What happens is I'll save the game and go to bed for the night,( or even just let my brother on to play Dawn of War) and when I get back, my savegames are dead! I go to the load screen, and click my manuel savegame. The load bar pops up( that won't move btw), then the screen gose black and I get a "Failed to Call" or something like that. Crash to desktop. The same thing happens with bothautosaves as well, I don't know whats going on. I'm ru
I have found that the game will crash if you go to the details screen of an uninhabited planet.
I pre-ordered GalCiv II, so i'm allowed into the beta. I download stardock central, and then download GalCiv 2. Execpt the computer i download it to isn't good enough to run GalCiv 2. So try the process n a better computer, but the download gets to 36% and then has an error of some sort. Can somebody help me!?
One thing, there's talk about the pirates taking enemy ships. How do they do this? is there a ship-boarding modlue you have to reserch? On is this some option you choose to do instead of killing the enemy...
Yes, the shark should have a reltive strength to the civs stregnth. I also think the "Space Shark" should acually look like a shark. The one in GalCiv I looked more like a prawn.
