Reply to Metaverse Games with 1.2 Beta 1 in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

@CariElf: So If I have added a cheat-marked Metaverse Score, I don't see a chance to delete that one game score from my players score, because there is only an option to delete _all_ scores of a player. Am I right here or did I oversee the possibility to delete one given score? @all: The discussion about using a BETA and complaining if it doesn't work: Nobody should complain about a beta game crashing, bugs etc. But a cheat-marked character for all your games, that is

Reply to Some suggestions to improve the Combat Viewer, comments please:) in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

OK, there will be no tactical combat in GC2 Stardock says. Period. Would have loved to have some easy things like conditional (e.g. Retreat after 50% casualities) or immediately (at minimal) RETREAT before the battle begins. Rule: nonretreater has one shoot at retreater before retreat happens. This is something that shouldn't be to complicated to train the AI to use itself.

Reply to Unarmed Defenders + Close Eyes = Beat Game in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I encountered that unarmed ship thing many times. Even when the AI has a fleet flying around with attack value 3 per ship it still build unarmed ships for defense. That makes no sense, because putting in some weapons is not so much more expensive. I saw that in the first and second campaign mission on normal and tough several times. Also now in a metaverse game on a small map on tough in a war against the Yor. I see the usefulness of an unarmed "invasion-preventer", but the AI uses the feat

Got that Processing-Data-Forever thing Tried it with IE, don't know if it is the actual version, but sounds not so bad (6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519). No chance. Tried Firefox 1.0.6 and 1.0.7. No chance. Upgraded to Firefox 1.5.0.1. WORKS! So get latest FIREFOX and you are fine.

Sorry andrew_, I encounter that Processing-Data-forever-Problem. I think you posted to use IE or latest Firefox. If that does not help clear Cookies and cached Data in IE.

Wait for Wednesday. That was the day when my support ticket at stardock was answered. In my case Derek B. He helped me only on Wednesdays. Don't know if he is the only parttime support guy. But for me - whether by coincidence or not - Wednesday was the golden day. Look at my thread https://www.galciv2.com/Journals.aspx?AID=110280 and maybe the links inside will help you.

My account is fixed now. Stardock only needet 8 working days for that. My fault was - while I used the same email address in every account - that I changed the recipient of the gc2-CD (from my last buy gc1). They never told you, that you can't do that without getting in trouble (and why should somebody?). Bad database setup, if you asked me. Anyway, finally, I can download. Thanx Stardock

Finally... thanx, Stardock for your help. Still can't understand the problem anyway. All you asked for is using the same emailadress on any account, which I have. Why can't I make you sent the CD to another address, because I'm almost never home (without getting in trouble and waiting for 7 workdays)? Bad Database Setup, if you asked me. OK, gc1 is/was a great game and I'm sure gc2 will be too (seen it at a friend).

Hi, I bought the game on 20.03.06 online at https://store.stardock.com/order.asp as "Download + Retail CD". Used my existing account because I bought GC1 years ago.

I quote a part of the head of this thread: Account Problems If you used a different email address to purchase the game direct than what you used to create an account here, Stardock Central may get confused. If that happens, email [email protected] with the subject "GalCiv Account Issue" and they'll take care of you. If you receive no response within 1 hour, post here and someone from Stardock will likely see it and take care of you here.<

Now they asked me to fill in my s/n via the page https://www.galciv2.com/registration.aspx. This form looks like the registration for games purchased in store. They still don't seem to understand that I bought the game ONLINE. So of course that didn't work again. They have do add my gc2 serial number that I received via mail to my account, that all if you asked me, but seems to be very difficult (maybe they think, I didn't buy the game and want to "sne

Reply to Metaverse Score calculated correctly? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have no knowledge of one of my scores being deleted or manually adjusted by someone. But I think we agree, that something is wrong here somehow? Can't really understand the problem, its just an easy SQL or maybe SQLplus-Database recalculation based on a simple formula.

Metaverse Score calculated correctly? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I understand, that Metaverse Score (s) is sum of points (p) devided by sqrt of number of games (g): s=p/sqrt(g) My points (p) are 1925 with 7 games (g). This is 727,57. But my Metaverse Score says: 966,3 But I tried a bunch of scores of players and most times the score is correct according to the formula. But for Andrew Chai and Ralph Crosswhite, the Metaverse Leaders, it's also too high. Is something wrong with the formula or did I miss something?

Reply to Trade Goods/Wonders Fix in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Malleus: I have to disagree. I am actually bulding a wonder, maybe 12 turns left. AI finishes it. It disappears , is not anymore the actual project, is not chooseable anymore, social is empty, invested production gone forever. But I have to agree, this happens not to every wonder and not to trade good.

Reply to Colony questions in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

You should decide that dependent to the planet you want to colonize. Dont sent more than 50-100 to a 12,13,14 planet. Increase that amount quite drasticly. maybe 2000 to an 19 or 20 planet. Colonize a planet in same system: Move ship out, then in again, select a planet - or - if you come from outside - move in and select a planet. It is as easy as described.

Reply to Trade Goods/Wonders Fix in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

When the AI has build a wonder, it disappears from my build queue immediately (v1.02). Cant see a bug here. Another story are the trade goods, you can finish them after another civ had built them. Would be nice to have an galaxy wonder/trade good progress screen which says: Hey, the Altarian are building Eye of the Universe. They have finished 23%. If they go on spending money on it like the turns before, it will be finished in 20 turns (etf). Its annoying to see an ai opponent finishing a wonde

The Autolauch is great, really great, besides for colony ships / transports. The Autolaunch loads - i think - automatically half the systems population. No problem for transport, just click them back to system and then reload them with the amount you want. But colony ships ... No chance for reloading, because ship will be gone :-(. Can't there be a Autolaunch that asks you for the amount of people to be loaded? Or an Autolauch for all ships besides colony/transport ships? By the way - while
