Geez, you still have this dinosaur? I miss my old C64, I learned programming on this thing. Turned me into a programmer. Left the profession about 6 years ago. Now assistant manager in a grocery store. Talk about change!!

Optical mouse. in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

This is probably for the older players like 40+ Could you imagine playing todays shooters with an old ball mouse instead of optical mouse. I think the optical mouse has helped a lot in todays fast paced action shooters. Just think for a second playing farcry 2 with an old ball mouse?

Reply to Where are the shields in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks. This game is just awesome. I played many games before trying out the campaign and when I couldnt research the shield I tought it was a bug. I never thought it was by design in the campaign. I dont know how far I'll go in the campaign but I'll see. Thanks for the lightning fast response. PS. This game would be perfect on the iPhone.

Where are the shields in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Reply to Another "help with my performance issues" thread in Technical Sins Forums

I have a hard time figuring out how you can have performance problems running this game, I have a Athlon 64 x2 running at 2.2 with 2g of ram and a GeForce 9800GT 512mb and I dont have any performance issues and am running the game at 1280x1024 all effects enabled except dust clouds, bloom and skyboxes.

Reply to Entrenchment not showing up in impulse after paying via paypal. HEEEELLLPP!!! in Technical Sins Forums

I paid with paypal too. I think when you pay with paypal, you have to wait for the payment to go through before you can download. If you go to your paypal account, you might see that the payment still hasn't been subtracted. It might take a few days.

[quote who="Bad_Boyl2" reply="2" id="2159603"]like as in Age of Empires 2? I remember yuo could view that civilizations technology tree without even having to launch the game, it was a good way to find out which one i'd want to play Good times...[/quote] Exactly!

A liitle something I would like... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

One thing I am missing and would like to have, is the abilitye to browse the technology trees without having to start a new game. What I mean is to be able to browse the tech trees from within the main menu, that would be helpfull, for me anyway. Any suggestions, is it something that could be in the next patch or expansion. Otherwise could it be done through modding? JPHamel

Reply to Longest game people have played in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Well [e digicons]:blush:[/e] , 3h42m against 2 AI on a random-medium FFA, both ai on easy, shame on me. But for my defense I'd say I'm a newb. This game just rocks, imagine if we could design our own ships. But being a rts, that is clearly not possible.

Reply to Is the game gonna be 3D in one of the mini expansions?? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Just forgot to mention. You guys will probably have in mind SOTS which is 3D turn based. But I find moving around the map REALLY annoying. If I could move around in the map as in sins I might play SOTS again. Anyway, the subject here is sins.

Reply to Is the game gonna be 3D in one of the mini expansions?? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

That would be awesome, but a bit hard for the player considering the RTS style of this particular game. Almost all TBS games are 2d. And since this games is succeding at conveying the TBS atmosphere to a rts, I like it as it is. But that would still be awesome. JPhamel

Reply to What is the largest map anyone ever played? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I haven't played any maps larger than random-medium, and yesterday the first with 2 AI opponents on random-medium. At 1 point it seemed like I was in a stalemate, with 1 AIs on each side. As I pushed one back in a corner, the other one kept coming at me, draining my resources to finish off the first one. I didn't have any choke points. And there were 2 excellent planets there that formed my front against the 2nd AI. It had been going for about 15 minutes, I didn't want to lose

Reply to What is the largest map anyone ever played? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

There is one thing. It might be by design or otherwise, and I dont know if it's the case on any size map, but it always seems that every planetary systems created, they always are split in half with only 2 point to cross over to the other side with the sun and pirate base the only connection through, I would have found interesting a more open planetary system. No example comes to mind, but se4 maps or something like that, I mean in terms of connections between the planets (stars for se4).

I'm just starting playing this game, and am on to my 5th game. (on easy) [e digicons]:blush:[/e] . But I totally love this game. This is king of a new genre that got me hooked. Anyways, I only play on small random for now untill it flows naturally on what to do. What I would like to know, is what is the largest map anyone ever played. I dont ask this for pc performance, as it's really not an issue. I would like to know how much time it took (game time), difficulty level, and a b

And mods arent the responsibility of the game developers. If you make a mod, you are the one responsible for the compatibility. Says thanks that game developers create their games with the modders in mind. oops, is this necro? how long does it take to consider necro?
