Perhaps your ISP is caching the old image for some reason? Because you can definitely change logos, since I've done it myself. Try hitting ctrl-refresh, if you use IE, and see if that fixes it. :) ~SDC~

You can even play it if you've never even *seen* a CD. The direct download option means it'll work without a CD, though the option is there to buy one as well... :) ~SDC~

Winamp works okay for me in the background of GalCiv... Unlike the inbuilt mp3 player. Got the latest video/sound drivers for your machine? :) ~SDC~
Some of the responses seemed sane, some not. I've not even downloaded the patch, but if it's a zip file, the question is valid. Not everyone is a genius at computers. When you look at the way a company like Blizzard does their patches, the difference is remarkable. For Diablo II you just login to battle.net and it patches automagically, or you download the patch and run it and then you're done. Also read a thread there about whether Quicksilver should be allowed to do a Master of Ma
GalCiv comes under the "Drengin.net" heading. ~SDC~
I think it should be fairly obvious why there's a search for the best solution? Because it's the best! :) Go add your voices to the group. :) ~SDC~
If he means bonuses then again, whatever bonuses they picked at the start of the game. ~SDC~

You can tell the difference in colour gradients... Or that's what I find, anyway. :) Plenty of games still maintain 16bit modes for people, even now, and the graphics are generally not suffering in GalCiv due to the smaller palette, so who cares? :) ~SDC~
They're at whatever tech level they've researched? There is no standard level that the Drengin's are always at. They have to research the various techs just as you do. :) ~SDC~
"I would think non official mods would null your score though, since you could create your own mod that maxes all your ships stats." That may not necessarily null your score, since the AI can build those exact same ships. ;) ~SDC~

If it didn't work that way, someone who only ever played (or only ever SUBMITTED) one game could sit at the top of the board, with very little chance for people who had played dozens of games to ever get above them. :) ~SDC~
"How about another scifi channel show, stargate?" Stargate rocks, but when it comes to varied ship design... Not really happening! :) Change the Drengin graphic and the dialog and the AI would be perfect for the Goa'uld! :D ~SDC~
I think the speed increase is only meant to work on the sector the starbase is in. Meant to and does are different things, of course. :) ~SDC~
I'm pretty sure the SW:G beta was yet another I wasn't good enough for, due to my distinct lack of being an *expletive* yank. :P I'm looking forward to Galaxies as well, so I can understand your predicament. :) You'll still get time to play GalCiv... Like when the SW:G server is down for upgrading and such. ;) ~SDC~

Yes you can. You need to be running at a resolution greater than 1024x768, in 16bit colour mode, then the windowed version shouldn't take up the entire screen. If you just want to be able to do other things at the same time as playing, you can alt-tab away from the game any time the game isn't in the middle of things like the AI turns. :) ~SDC~

Mine updates instantly as well. Make sure you registered your handle for the Metaverse, then the easiest way to find your score is to click your name in the forums, since that brings up your record. Much simpler than hunting through the pages working out where you are. :) ~SDC~

I'm very much hanging out to get this event to happen to me. :) Had it happen a couple of times, once to the Yor, once to the Torians, from memory. Neither side ended up dominating, but they did make a noticeable comeback from the brink. Pretty cool! :) ~SDC~
I looked for it in my local EB the other day and no go. The Aussie dollar is actually not doing so bad against the US dollar at the moment. Around the 60cent mark. So the price is *about* what you'd probably pay at a retail shop in Australia... Von Ravend wrote: "BTW Mythor, You wouldn't be the Mythor of Mosh by any chance?" Yep, that'd be me. ;p ~SDC~

Once you start getting into it it does start to be a bit of a click-as-fast-as-you-can-fest... Still quite fun, though. :) ~SDC~

"I offered Comm Theory, Universal Theory AND 600+BC before it would say "yes". For something as easy to get as Defense Theory? gimme a break." If it's ever so easy to get, why don't you already have it? :) The AI isn't going to hand you a way to defend yourself on a silver platter, and nor should it! I seem to remember you making a bunch of derogatory comments before you had the game as well. Suggesting you play the game some more doesn't seem like a particularly bad i
"Mythor, was the name of your existing empire?" The Dunces Empire. You should be able to see the little smiley face with his dunce cap under this post? I'm the only one in it at the moment, though. :) Still no word from Brad I see... ~SDC~
There is, apparently, a limit on how much of a production type bonus you can get from starbases in a sector. I've no idea what it is, though, since it's always seemed to increase no matter how many starbases I get up to. :) ~SDC~
"Well, here's homing Mythor goes and gets himself a burner this week" I do very much need one, not just for this, so it should be happening. Stardock chargrilling my C: drive has convinced me I really should be a bit more backup concious. I've looked around for an answer on whether or not the serial number is attached to the archive and have been unable to find anything either way, other than Frogboy responding that he'd look into it. If someone can find a post with more informa
You only waited 2 hours and 11 minutes. I've been waiting 2 weeks now. Get in line. ;p I think it's meant to be available in Canada now. Try the "Availability in Europe and elsewhere" thread, it has info for other countries too. :) ~SDC~
"There is no ability to design or upgrade ships." Not entirely accurate. There's no ability to design ships, but ships upgrade automatically as you research better tech, as you find anomalies that increase your statistics, or as they gain levels via surviving combat. So the ships are upgradeable, just not as directly as you'd obviously like them to be... ~SDC~
