Clearing old activation? in Technical Sins Forums

I'm running Linux so my install/update process is a bit quirky. Unfortunately Impulse doesn't work at all through Wine so to download the game I have to run Impulse in VirtualBox do the install and then copy the install into my wine prefix. The first time it was simple and the game properly detected that it wasn't activated under my wine prefix and asked me for my information, it activated and all worked well. Recently due to the patches and stuf

Reply to Resource display quirk in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

It might not be a serious problem but if the cause is as simple as I assume it is then it's probably just a matter of tweaking a line of code which should take next to no time to correct. If the problem stems from something else and is more complicated then it isn't likely worth it.

Resource display quirk in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I notice that if I try and get something immediately after I have enough resources it'll often tell me that I don't have enough resources and I have to wait another moment or two before it'll actually let me make my purchase.

If this is the case I'd suggest the decimal value be truncated rather than rounded so the amount shown accurately reflects what can be spent. Certainly

Colony rush and range suggestions in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

That and space seems incredibly small as range is hardly an issue since every planet and starbase increases how far you can travel making support rarely needed on ships. Anyway the simple solu

Match value in cash for a trade in Trade GalCiv2 Forums

Whever I trade I first set up the base deal how I want it until it is something the AI accepts on. Then to ensure I don't waste any value I get them to give cash to the exact amount before they wont accept the deal. However currently it is very annoying if the AI has a lot of cash because the drag increments will be large which forces me to tweak the cash value one by one which is quite slow. Rather than mess with the speed I think it would be an ex
