Reply to 7 games, tiny to medium...I am worthless in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

start out by setting the ais to subnormal and fools while you learn. even at easy they do pretty well. also, set up a higher proportion of good civs so you get a little less warfare. also hit ctrl-N if you first see the map and know you are screwed vbecause of a bad starting position. in almost all my non-easy games i am a weak minor edging out an existence.

YAY fixed! after the last tip from madice (updating quicktime) i noticed the first one second of the video worked. then i remembered i was using another program yesterday to record some sounds. it required me to use IT to play audio while it recorded. so when i went to multimedia in control panel, i saw i forgot to return it to the default audio device to play sound. now i got to the menu screen! thanks for all your help!
