ASUS EEE PC in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I am going to be getting my father one of these awesome little laptops for Christmas, and I am curious if anyone has attempted to get GalCiv2 running on one of them. My father has been playing MOO2 since it came out, and I think it is time he tried a new game, but he has never had a computer with windows on it powerful enough to run it. Currently he has a 450mhz windows box that he uses for MOO2, and a 900mhz linux box which he refuses to even attempt WINE on. Basically, I really really

But why couldnt they do both? All I am asking for is an option to have blind diplomacy. If they want the AI to be close to being as good as a player, we need to have the option to not be able to read their minds. Along with this, they would have to get annoyed with you for offering bad things, otherwise you would just run into the issue of people picking the option, and just reoffering 100 times in a row with slightly higher incremental offers.

Yea, and ideally (though this would likely take a significant amount of work for the devs) I would be forced to pad my offers a bit for fear that I would offend the AI with a crappy offer. With so much awesome effort put into making the AI respond realistically to everything else in the game, the trade/diplomacy is just too black and white.

I wonder if it would be possible to have an option of setting the trade/diplomacy to be blind, forcing me to actually submit a proposal before I know whether or not it will be accepted. In the real world, you dont get a little red/green colored signal that is 100% accurate as to whether or not a given offer will be accepted, so why are we forced to here?

I can't seem to figure out what it is I need to do to beat this mission. I have tried it on normal and beginner even, and cannot seem to avoid getting hopelessly crushed by the dread lords. Right about the time that I am getting some small fleets of 2 attack 1 armor or shield small ships out, the dread lords prance in with a battleship with 33 attack of some kind(varies on each game). Is there something huge and obvious I am missi
