Well, if I had to venture a guess, it could be your economy sliders. The game starts you with 67% production, and 33% each of that allocated to Military, Social and Research. If you haven't already, push the production to 100% and shove your Military up some. Of course this will affect your Income and morale. Oooh, yeah, second thought, did you happen to get hit by the plaque/disease events, if so they cripple your population and morale and production, until you research the cures. (You'll kn

[quote]I think he said it was going to be based around the history of Altaria The info Vandenburg collected earlier in this thread mentions the Mithrilar, which is an Altarian thing. I don't think it is so much an extension of the GC universe as perhaps a sort of prequel or alternate worlds thing. But I'm probably projecting because I'll be pretty disappointed if the maps are on a spherical planet or planets in star systems that are in galaxies, etc.[/quote] If you go to th

Ahh....Scotch. My first was Cutty Sark, when I was 17. It burned and I thought I would puke, so I had another shot. Now I'm so much older and have moved up the ladder to the Glens (Livet & Fiddech) and I've had the Balvenie Doublewood also, fine stuff. There is nothin finer than a smooth single malt. As a matter of fact this thread has brought out my present bottle of Glenlivet. But even the worst scotch is better than that urine colored stuff they call beer these days. If it hasn't sat i

Ctrl + P on a planet also brings up this screen, or a miniature version of it. (Which also means they wound up breaking a cheat in cheat mode.)

I ask this because Impulse is slow- mind numbingly, frustratingly, screaming at the monitor slow. It took several minutes for it to finally show up for me, and most of the time it was hard to tell if Impulse was doing anything at all. When the update finally showed up, and I began t

On #1: They stay where they were and just change possession. The new owners have to drive it home. #2: I am 90% certain Galatic Wonders and Trade goods are civilization wide, and Super Projects are planetary. You can usually tell by reading the Informational lines by there picture. #3: Only giving you a 50/50 on this one, but I believe that would be true.

If you don't see the update, first click the blue orb, then go to preferences/folders, and click the "Reset Data" button. This should bring it up.

Reply to Where i can get the patch in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

To update/upgrade your GalCivII, you need to install either Impulse or SDC (StarDock Central). A quick peek just revealed to me that only Impulse is available from the downloads page. SDC is being phased out and replaced by Impulse. These programs verify that you have a legally purchased program, than they will update/upgrade you. I have never encoutered any problems/hassels with either, but some people have. There are a number of threads out there, full of praise and complaint for either pr

Reply to Shipyard Progress in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

On the sliders (Military, Social, Research) Military builds ships, Social builds planetary buildings and Research does research. You have apparently put Military at zero. The three work interactivly with each other. They represent the workforce of peoples in your Empire. If you put 100% to research, you leave no one to do the other things.

Ah, the irony of it all. How many of you realize you are a forum of a game where the one goal is to assert your dominion on an entire galaxy, by any means available. Do you care about the billions of pixle people you slaughter to take a planet, the lives of the pixle people you kill as you destroy their ships. Every leader has the same goal, power. It is the rarest exception to find one that actually cares about his people, (or his pixles). How many of us have played the never ending game where

QP0 to QP15, why just new minor races? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Would it be possible to add a new tech at the end of the terraforming branch, that allowed the creation of a "Genesis Device Module"? It could be enourmously expensive to research and build. And it could have a huge negative hit to your influence. It would change a QP0 to a QP???, after all when a new minor race arrives they get what used to be a QP0 and now its a QP15. And there are events that alter all planets QP in a 2 sector range. (and in cheatmode "Ctrl P" allows you to do
