Oh jeeze. I had forgotten that you're working on a bunch of other products at the same time as galciv. Absolutely amazing that you can be so involved in the forums and still have time for everything else. I hope you take nice long vacations or something. Err.. wait what am I saying? Vacation time means less galciv time. Quick, somebody chain him to his desk j/k LOL

I think Brad is secretly a Yor or some other cybernetic being. It's obvious that he doesn't sleep, and can multitask very well... fixing bugs, adding new features, respond to some *cough* inaccurate reviews, and still have time to say "Groovy" on the forums =)

Reply to New Review: Adrenaline Vault gives GalCiv only 3.5/5 ! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well, I thought Brad defended himself quite intelligently. It's obvious that the Rich couldn't back up what he said, and instead chose to fight everything that we idiot readers keep thinking he said (sigh). I'm glad that there was the savegame transaction to prove them wrong =). I'm sure I'm guilty of some "fanboy" bias, but I'm a bit urked by anyone who says that the galciv AI isn't any good.

Reply to OH NO! I finally figured it out!! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Wow, that's interesting. I had noticed something in a recent game.. I was using the "sneaky" (ok, dirty) strategy of attacking, taking a few systems, offering peace for large amounts of tribute per turn, rinse, repeat. I figured I'd be bankrupting the AI, but it turned out that they were continually able to meet my demands. Then I noticed that their treasury was continually increasing. It seemed odd that they had like 46000bc with one planet left. But if tribute amount

Not sure if it's been submitted (there's no search function for the forums!), but when you're at the sector map (normal gameplay view) and press the sector map button, the domestic policy button's "press" animation goes off. It doesn't bring up the domestic policy screen or anything like that, but it's a minor graphical glitch.

Reply to Death to Stardock. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Heh, chill out dude. I know SDCentral has some problems, but they've mainly been fixed now. I don't think a "Death to Stardock" post is going to get you anywhere. This is honestly the most customer oriented software company I've dealt with in a long while. If you'd ASK them or say, look through the forums or look at the documentation, then I think you'd find answers to all your problems. You shouldn't jump to a "stardock sux! I hate them! blah!" post. By the way, I'm pretty sure MOO cam

Reply to Propaganda---please read and help! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Oh, one thing to consider when trying to improve morale.. decreasing the population a bit helps. Try going to war =) Load up some transports and get fightin', or start colonizing more or something. I'm not sure of the exact max population that there can be for a certain class planet. Trial by error I guess.

Reply to Windowed version in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hmm, there's now a 1.01a.032. Does the windowed version include those fixes? =) Too bad you can't incorporate windowed support into the main exe or something. Then activate a windowed version by running it with -windowed or something like that. But you guys have probably already looked into that stuff

For those that it's saying you need to download 85meg, does SDCentral think your game is installed? If it doesn't, then you need to fix a string in your registry. See my post above about that (#33).

Reply to MONDAY STATUS REPORT in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

myomer, there's probably an issue in your registry. I had a similar thing happen when I restored from an archive. There's a string, "Exe", that references the galciv.exe. When it happened to me (SDCentral not thinking it was installed) that setting got cleared. If you have any experience with regedit, go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\GalCiv In there, there's the Exe string. If it's blank, change it to "galciv.exe" (w/o quotes). There's also a

So is a new 1.01A being released today? Is it already released? I did manage to install 1.01a.030 last night, and I don't see anything new on there now, so I'm hoping that the new 1.01A isn't out yet.
