All Starbases Merged mod broken? in GalCiv IV Modding GalCiv4 Forums

Hi all, was wondering if anyone else had this mod and were able to get it to work since the latest update to the game? Specifically its called AllShipsLevel StarbasesMerged by Logan0178 and used to work perfectly pre-Megastructures DLC, enabling the player to build all three starbase types and accompanying upgrades into one structure. Now, if I have this mod active I get a strange reaction with the gigamass techs.. upon initiating the construction of a

Idling ships.. bug? in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

Ive recently discovered/enacted the cheats command for a few select lifehacks, however since then many of my ships will revert to sitting idle after one turn. The only way around is to set to auto-explore or survey (if capable) or to set destination at either a hypergate (works 50/50) or an existing colony. It also seems to be getting worse with each new game started. First universe I tried.. had an existing fleet of trade ships just quit. Now it seems like 8/10 ships (colony and constructors

Reply to No Mega Events in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Ive actually noticed that the mega events were tweaked from the beta(or the update, i cant remember which) Wherein they dont happen as often. Before I was getting the plague event a lot, which i kinda liked because id rush research it(throw all my resources into researching) and once ive got the tech before everyone else, id tech trade like crazy (except maybe the strongest/most evil race). Ive also gotten that darned Jagged Knife event at the very end of a game, right before I won a military vi

Reply to Alliance Questions in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm getting to the point where I'd like to be able to turn the whole alliance mechanic off, honestly. I second that, of which ive posted about numerous times. Although I will say since the release of DA, the alliances have been tweaked more in my favor of how id like them to be. ie; its not everyone allied to everyone else and constant all-out war all the time. kudos. as for o1derfull1's question, im not sure i understand why you cant get close

Reply to Do stockmarkets stack on planets? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Oooh yea they do, any improvement built adds to that planets bonuses. Especially the economy and manufacturing lines. And when a new improvement is researched and upgraded that % value increases as well so..stock market is greater than trade center, etc.

Making comparisons that *you think* are valid to try to relieve pressure is childish at best. HA!? CHILDISH is right, but not on Draginols part. how old are you, 5?

Im big on graphics, so all the upgrades the devs did won me over...again. haha. Especially the changes made to the planets; new environments and the orbiting ships. Superb.

I second that, I almost even went through all the hotkeys in the game to figure out which one it is before it started screwing with my computer.

Dark Avatar Strategy in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Ok folks you know the drill, pretty obvious thread here.. With all the new features in DA Ive had to revamp my game strategy, specifically the colony rush phase. I know it just barely came out and those that didnt beta test it are probably still figuring out their new strategy, but maybe they can get some hints from here? Basically I wanted to get some input on what everyone else is doing to adapt to the new game. Perhaps Ill steal a few ideas? ::rubs hands mischieviously:: In a nut

Wow dude, lay off..and enjoy the game. Or if it bothers you so much dont play it!? Some people just like to argue for the sake of arguing. So sad.. ::shakes head::

Ok, nm ignore that question..i took another look. Its bigger than the mini-map but seems to be less detailed? ::shrugs::

Reply to Pop up galaxy map in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I noticed that new feature too..seems pretty useful. Is that example the actual size that will show onscreen, is it the same size as the mini-map in the corner?

Metaverse Rankings in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, so I know Ive been posting a lot of newbie metaverse questions lately..but im only trying to figure this thing out. Also, Ive seen a couple of posts about this topic, however it seems like its being completely ignored by anyone who might have an answer. Question: Ive posted a game and everything comes up on my profile and character as it should except for the ranking. It was like 3 days ago and Im still 'unranked'. I like to think(?) that I received a fairly decent score for my firs

Thanks Ras, i thought it was strange too..little did i know all i had to do was view your medals to see almost half of them!? lol. I assume not all are # Game Winner medals. I just wanted to know what the other obscure ones were like the racial victory. oh well, seems like no one really knows? ::shrugs::

Reply to A Walkthru of Dark Avatar in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

if 10 is the limit on the planet screen, then yes its the same. it only shows whats really there. i love this feature though, nothing like designing/building a new ship and then zooming all the way into see it orbiting one of your planets to scale. (well, more to scale than they are in space)

Reply to Can someone explain this to me? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Im there with ya...its frustrating. But mystik is right, there's a host of different external influences at any given time acting on your freighters. One he didnt mention was if a particular freighter passes through the influence of one of you economic starbases; itll go up. Or maybe that civ youre trading with has made some bad choices on their end and the value is being effected that way. As well as all those other things he listed..you build a new ship; your military spending goes up to c
