Reply to Could someone please take that research assistant outside and shoot him in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

There is another possibility for improving this one ... there are a variety of possible texts available for use in various other parts of the game, so possibly Stardock could add alternative text for this and other anomalies (and Galactic Resources would be nice, too.) This'd mean you don't always get the same research assistant. For examples: 1) The survey team spent a long time studying the (gas cloud). Eventually, they give up.

Reply to The AI is cheating on its ship range... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

What a nice idea ... :D But I've just been grumbled at for using bandwidth as it is, so I will probably be good and order the game through EB.

Canberra, Australia :) Hmm ... Mainly Canada, US, Australia, smattering of europeans - that's about the distribution of english speakers, except that I don't see more than one or two posters from Great Britain.
