Reply to Twilight of the Arnor Beta 2 Change Log in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

The tournament map was nice, but it seems the game defaulted my computer opponents intelligence very low as i was able to steamroll through them without any resistance. I even got the message that their AI was too dumb to counter the troop transports i had parked next to the Drengin worlds. Got only 7700 for score.

January, negative press for unfinished features would be just annoying when it's such a fine product, and from one of the finest software companies on this planet.

I'd wish there was a way to set up patrol routes via waypoints, i really want recon vessel looking at my borders to see if a enemy is mounting up for a war. Micromanaging 3 or 5 different patrol vessels just to keep my military in proper readiness is quite annoying..

The "Advanced Navigation Centers" in the tech tree reads as "Advamced Navigation Centers". You can find the typo easily just by opening Arcean_TechTree.xml, and searching for "Advam".

[quote] The companies you can buy buildings/ships from. I mean, if they have enough production to build a ship overnight when it would take me weeks, why haven't they already taken over the galaxy?

Imagine the buy option as a fact your temporarily hiring more workers for your ship project so it completes faster..much faster...ludicrously f

Reply to More action for second expansion? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Dark Avatar does have mega events that do offer things to fight, Pirates, the Jagged Knife, and most importantly the Dread Lords. I didn't get those yet. Do I have to play the campaign for those events? They happen randomly during a sandbox/metaverse game if you have not unchecked the mega events option when you start your game. Some events happen only after your populace is unhappy, and some require you to

Reply to More action for second expansion? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Dark Avatar does have mega events that do offer things to fight, Pirates, the Jagged Knife, and most importantly the Dread Lords. Also theres smaller scale ones, like a pirate outbreak relating to the united planets jail vote. Also you do know that AI at normal is passive, if you ramp up to challenging it will start making threats, and somewhat bolder moves earlier. Though i do concur, this game needs space monsters! I loved those things in Galactic Civilizations I, and i feel they shou

I'd really love to see a cybernetic race portrait, something like the Strogg & Borg, except with a GalCiv race being the ..enhanced individual, an torian or arcean would be nice. Stuff like limbs being replaced with melee weaponry and stuff, but bits & pieces are still organic, like most of the face and torso. Borg-like laser pointer on the head, but no need for gore.

Reply to TechTree - the order of things in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Manufacturing capitals only affect the world their built on. If you focus on military production, your military production will rise slightly for that world(as far as i know). If you have your military slider on 50%, each world has its military production halved, compared to what you'd have at 100%. 14 MP's becomes 7 MP's at 50%, and so on.

Well its only fair the AI is forced either to choose to honor the alliance and declare war, or dissolve it as the human player has been when the human player is allied with both parties of the war.

Reply to GalCiv II v1.7 Beta 1 Changelog in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I don't know if this is a feature that could make it to the full 1.7, but i'd really want to be able to force other races to break up alliances with each other(allied races don't show up in the "attack race" options..). It's really annoying when i'm allied with someone, and i get attacked by a race who is allied with my ally, and i can't tell him to assist me in any way. Infact, i think it is a bug. I was allied with the Krynn who in turn were allied with the Terran Alliance, when the T

Reply to GalCiv II v1.7 Beta 1 Changelog in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

The update is most excellent, but the event log has a bug with surrendering. When the Iconians surrendered to me, the event log said that correctly, but right after that even it said i had surrendered to the Iconians, which was not true. Just to be more specific, i was playing a custom made race, and the game was started in a previous version of Dark Avatar. And here is a screenshot of the log: [Link=http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/4112/toronlogxg1.png]Toron Harvest Force Events[/LINK]

I always forget whats the file extension for bink..yes its .bik. It crashes everytime i try to play a file rad tools have converted..

Reply to Making Video Portraits for a race in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I used the latest version avaible on the site of the developer, i also tried earlier versions, and similar results. I also have a problem where the tools refuse to process single files, but works fine when i do it in batch. But transforming things to .bnk doesn't work, just creates a file that will crash the bink player. I could probably host the video files i want converted somewhere if anybody could help me with this?

Making Video Portraits for a race in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I want to convert some video files from a game called Starcommand: Revolution to GalCiv2: Dark Avatar to use as a race portrait. However i don't know how, does anyone have a link to a tutorial how to convert .avi files to .bnk files required by the game, and how do you convert files that are lower than 30 fps to 30 fps without making everything go too fast?

Allow custom races to change the name of their star. Its annoying that my star is always named after my planet. Also allow custom races to name a second planet, like all the other races have. It's really annoying when i want to call a planet "Altair Prime", and i want to call the system "Altair", the game decides to call the system by the name of the planet despite the racecfg saying otherwise.
