Reply to [1.5 BUG] Wildland Won't Clear if Boss is Killed Outside of Wildland in LH Support Elemental Forums

Well, I lured him 1 square into his wildland, for just 1 turn, and killing him did not clear the wildland :( Is there some more specific requirement, like he needs to be in for more than a turn? Or farther in? Or does he need to be specifically on home square (the one he starts in)?

Thanks, Primal_Savage - that's a huge help! I just might try to kite him back, got a fun game going and would mess it up if I couldn't clear this wildland properly.

[1.5 BUG] Wildland Won't Clear if Boss is Killed Outside of Wildland in LH Support Elemental Forums

I've seen this happen once, I suspect this is a general bug but haven't played enough to be sure. In my last full game, Vetrar (sp?) went pretty far outside of his wildland and stayed outside. I killed him outside, and cleared everything in the wildland but the wildland never cleared. I did get the items (fist of Vetrar? Sword of the Glacier - or something like that). Now I'm playing another long game on a huge map, and I see Delin wandering far outside of his wild

Reply to FE-LH v1.50 wild area cleared but green overlay of wild are still present in LH Support Elemental Forums

I think I've encountered the same bug (or similar, at least). I believe it is the case that if the boss wanders outside the wildland area, then you're screwed. I've seen it at least once where I killed the boss outside his wildland area, plus I killed all the wildland creatures, and the wildland was forever unusable. I don't know if this is relevant, but the boss was pretty far outside the wildland area, and it seemed in this case likely that he was

Thanks for all the replies, everyone. This is certainly all the workaround I need. Disabling snap-back plus the 2 key should do the trick.

View Angle Skews in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I think this bug has been around forever, so it must be a known issue, but after a few searches I couldn't find any relevant post. Often (definitely after I hit quicksave), the game shifts the view angle by a few degrees. This is an admittedly minor issue, but it really bothers me as I often wonder if I'm going crazy seeing things just a little bit out of line. Is this in fact a known issue? Is there any kind of fix or workaround for this?

Reply to Please tone down the +Econ event in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I don't think it's such a big deal since these type of events effect ALL the races. Well maybe it's more of an issue on gigantic maps, but these events tend to favor the human player over the AI, since the AI doesn't really know how to take full advantage of them. I'm on my first full game (after 2 sh

Reply to Please tone down the +Econ event in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Well, I wouldn't quite call these game breakers (it depends on circumstances, and yes certainly they can be guaranteed game winners), but I do agree that they ought to be toned down. I know however that I play exclusively on gigantic maps, and sometimes I wonder if these random events are less potent on smaller maps (I can imagine that it might be challenging to balance across all the variations players can impose on galaxy creation). I some

He meant name some major bugs. OK, so here goes. I do believe these are all well known issues/bugs; I've seen every single bug listed below mentioned in one or more posts in this forum. 1) free movement turn on load 2) disappearing anomalies on save/reload (possibly fixed in betas, I haven't tested) 3) autopilot

Reply to Most bugs ever in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

A LOT of bugs? Hardly. At least not of a serious nature. Well, I guess it depends on your threshold of "serious". I would agree that even under 1.0x there were no game killer bugs, at least for me. However, I would certainly say that there were a lot of significant, and at the least, annoying bugs. For exam

Reply to Most bugs ever in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Marcathonas, while I appreciate and agree with the general tenor of your reply, your response to the first bug on his list is not at all helpful: 1. THIS IS DELIBERATE. It's to stop people from save/reloading and changing the outcome of a game. I don't believe this is deliberate. If it is so, then it is highly misguided policy. For o

Hey, I've noticed this with three games now playing the 1.1 beta. I cannot have peace. It doesn't matter what I do, most nations are going to attack me pretty quickly. The AI setting is intelligent, however it doesn't seem to matter whether they can actually reach me or not (much of the time they are across the map with several e

Reply to Trade Routes in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The problem is that the bonus is not labeled correctly. Instead of saying +1 trade routes, it says +1% trade routes. This is a common thing in GalCiv games, to put % in bonuses where a % does not belong. For example infleunce starbases modules may say it gives +7% influence, but it really gives +7 influence to that starbase. Yeah, this re

Reply to A Real Upgrade Ship Bug! 1.1beta3 in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've been seeing similar behavior under 1.0X, 1.1 Beta 1 & 2 (and probably 3, though I since stopped using upgrade, I can't say for sure). What I've seen is that from time to time, on certain ship upgrades and not just core (which I understand are upgradeable under beta 3), the components are cheaper to add than if you do a new ship from scratch. The savings varies, and is usually rather small (I would bet that many users have encountered this without noticing). However once I

PQ only increases the initial amounts of tiles for your homeworld. Currently the only thing it really does is increase the max population of a planet. (Absolute maximum population is supposed to be based off PQ) Are you sure about that? I've taken max out PQ bonus for a custom race, and it
