Thanks for the feedback! I'll start with DA then, get in a couple of long games, then move up to TA. :-) -Scott

Which expansion is best to start? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hello. I played GalCiv 2 a lot, but not the first expansion. I just bought the pack, and was wondering if I'm missing out by planning the current beta of the second expasion, rather than the first? I don't play through the story stuff, I like the sandbox galaxy games. Is everything active in the beta? Will I get the Dark Avatar expansion plus more? Or is there enough development that I should start without the beta? -Scott

Outstanding! Love the game, really happy to see the success of small developers. On the issue of PC games dying, it's a shame many don't point out the fact that the PC has genres of games that console never will. Strategy titles most of all.

Well that makes more sense. I can stop being like Zap Branagin sending "wave after wave of my own men" at the death-bots. Thanks for the tips guys! I think I'm going to start over and watch the population caps better then. I'm having problems keeping my approval above 30%. Although by far I have the largest population in the galaxy... SZier

Approval Rating and Moral? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Wonderful game! Enjoying it very much. Except I'm having major problems with my approval rating! It's consitantly dropping, and the only indicator I get from the tool-tip is a 50-60% negitive score coming from "Population". Taxes also takes out about 30, but even if I charge no taxes, I'm still in the dog-house. I have one or two entertainment buildings on each world - and short of not building anything BUT those, I just don't see what to do? I'm not at the top of the entertainment r
