I'm running the retail version, with the 1.01 update, bonus pack, and all the extra downloads from the library page on Windows XP: Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but, whenever I colonize a system and rename it to a name of my choosing, all the planets in that system are named "Nova I", (assuming I name the system "nova"). So, all four planets will be "Nova I" rather than "Nova I", "Nova II", "Nova III", and "Nova IV". -Yak

If we download the bonus pack must we also download the Library downloads or are they incorporated into the bonus pack? Thanks, -Yak
I'm 25. :CONGRAT:
Seriously, though...do the minor races have portraits? If not, will portraits of them be in releases later on? I think it would be cool to have more alien faces in the game. Also, do you plan on adding more Major Races later on? -Yak
"Elrikk: I think the keyword there is that she's now your EX-wife" LOL...Elrikk must be single! Whenever you try that tactic out, pal, be sure to send me a pic of the red-hand-print on the side of your face! ;-) -Yak, The Happily Married Nit-Picked Gaming Husband.
What is that blue alien on the front page update today? A minor race? Will the minor races have graphic "portraits"? -Yak www.cold-war.net
Actually, I always play the human side in every game I play anyway! ;-) -Yak www.cold-war.net
I'm seriously considering taking a vacation day from work that week. ;-) -Yak www.cold-war.net
I preordered mine from Amazon.com. It comes to 54 bucks with next day shipping. :-) -Yak www.cold-war.net
*sigh* Why must every space game be modded into a Star Trek game? Silly Trekkers! Can't you just enjoy a game for what it was intended to be without modding it into Star Trek? ;-) *NOTE: However, I respect your desire to do so!* Sincerely, Yak
Boy, I'm really messing this thread up. My second post was explained that my "not sure" comment in my original post was from me trying to insert a "not sure" smiley face manually. That didn't work out. My second post is blank for some reason. So, moderator, feel free to delete my post and slap me around. Sorry everyone! -yak
To represent the other side of the fence, so to speak, I'd like to say I hate scripted scenarios in games, and was pleasantly surprised they omitted them in SimCity 4. I understand, of course, that many gamers enjoy that added challenge, but, for me, the joy in these kind of single player, open-ended strategy games is the fact I *don't* have to play a scripted mission. :not sure: That said, I can't wait for GalCiv to be released, this looks like a real treasure for the 4X community.<b
Shameless Plug: I've been playing SEIV gold for, I believe, about a year now, and, its indeed a very good 4X strat game. But, the diplomacy in the game is pretty crappy, something I'm very much looking forward to in GalCiv. -Yak
Correction: My first week of visiting the site, not the first day! But, this is my first day as a member of the site. Thanks, Yak :D
This may sound silly, but, what is Stardock Central? ;-) This is my first day visiting the site, I've read over pretty much everything so far, but, I'm unclear what exactly Stardock Central is. BTW, in case you guys care, I've been a big fan of 4X games and loved SEIV. I'm one of those that couldn't wait for MOO3, and one of the many that feel very, very let down. Someone compared the game to being about as exciting as using Quicken! I got the flier from the MOO3 box about
In the Encyc area there was a Bonus Pack section. I see now that it is gone. Where did it go? Also, could someone please explain what exactly the Bonus Pack is? Thanks! :)
