Yeah and of course there doesn't seem to be a way to do that immediately, so you have to move the constructor away & then back again. Or am I wrong about that one?

Why are the people of Protos I so mad at me? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I just started playing the campaign mode, and am a couple hours into the first mission. For some reason, the people of Protos I say that even a minor civ could better use the resources of the planet, and the approval is only at 40%. I'm not sure what the problem is, as I have the appropriate structures on the two special squares, and have otherwise pretty evenly distributed research, farms & factories. I even have a couple entertainment hubs. What else

Reply to Creating a "Colonization slowdown" mod in Colonies GalCiv2 Forums

Check out the MetaverseData\English folder. It has all of the modifiable xml files, I'm sure you'll be able to find what you're looking for (TechTree.xml has the research time stuff, GC2Types.xml probably has the life support stuff).

Reply to Solution to early land grab be-all-and-end-all in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Reply to Retail availability increases further in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Oh well, tell your friends to do it that way. It works great - you download the game and start playing immediately, and within a week you have the boxed collector's

Starbase woes in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm having a hard time with two aspects of starbases. For one, since they aren't very visible on the minimap and are often hard to distinguish on the main map (if there are dozens of them), I often have a hard time finding them. The best way seems to be zooming all the way out on the main map and icon hunting. Can they be given their own toggle & made more obvious on the minimap? How about a tab for them in the planet/ship pop-up page? Also

Reply to Gal Civ and Ordering Online in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I think you did something wrong - I just ordered and you don't even have to wait for a confirmation email. The last ordering page (the receipt), that you see when it accepts your order has the download link and your serial number right on it. Although I also got a confirmation email within seconds. I think something went wrong with your order placement.
