as the title says after playing Elemental last it crashed to desktop on the desktop i found three new files that wernt there before playing, one called Elemental (not the game shotcut its a unknown file type) another file labled BugReport01 and the final file called DxDiag the last two files are text files what i want to know is are these files created by Elemental? and what should i do with them?
I love the rift war saga first non kids book i ever read compleatly forgot it when i was thinking of my example nice catch Ragnar1. its such a coincedance that two of my faorate things (books and games) feture stardock one as an acadamy of magic and one a creater of magical games [e digicons]:w00t:[/e]
Quoting black-knight "even read a fantasy book where armies pop out of nowhere?" yes i have its called The Redemption of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings and i highly reccomend it and his Belgariad and Malloreon series
Thanks Scoutdog for the tip
The unit design feature is missing the ability to delete custom designs and to make units obsolete I don't know if its missing because it hasn't been implemented yet or if its just missing but it is needed

I had exactly the same issue. It happens whenever I defeat a sovereign and it has happened in all of the games ive plaid so far always one unit and always un-attackable but killing a sovereign always removes his city's which i think should stay and be captureable
Does it matter that i have resterted the game a couple of times since i reproted the crash and the debug.err file is a lot more than 10 lines would you like me to upload it insted
when i try to scroll the map by moving the cursor to the edge of the screen nothing happens nor does using the arrow keys i have to move around by double clicking on the landscape
after ending my first turn i moved my chanaler over a goody hut got a mesage saying i had found nothing so far so good then trying to scrole back towards my town {ege scrole dosent work btw will submit seperate report after this one} then the game froze and my ati graphics drivers initiated a vpu recover as the gpu had sopped accepting input after much alt+tabbing and ctrl+alt+deleeting finaly managed to get elemental to quit throuout this the music kept working normaly dxdiag report coppied

as well as bribing your way out of troble if you have that mutch serplus cash just buy the computers starbases from them so you controle all the resorces and all thoes starbaces that was holding your influence at bay are now working for you i did this and went from having 10% of galactic influence to 80% in two terns and every tern after that at least three systems defected altho the two terrostars with all the influence improvements flying thrue enimy space may have had somthing to do with it
I would like to point out that when you colonise a planet there is a chance of a random event some of these (especialy ones from the mods) affect planet quality at a cost of aligment i once colonised a pq12 planet and an event gave me +37% pq bonus with my other bonuses it went from pq13 to pq20 alto my alignment shifted from good to neutral
I agree with matthew but it may be benificial to buy you first colony ship if there are two or three stars with good planet qualty within easy reech also if you are constantly going bancrupt then i suggest that when you set up a new game put most of you races skill point bonuses in economics sensors and social production it works for me
after reading all of the preceding posts a few things come to mind 1) several post insist on comparing MOO3 and galciv as if thay were ment to be simmilar thay are not altho thay have the same concept (space baced TBS) thay both went down different roots galciv was ment to apeal to newcomers and veteruns to the genre also having an efisis on humer MOO3 was met to appeal to hardcore stratigists who like it when thay are up to there elbows in manegement 2) yes moo3 is full of bugs dispite

I am a big moding fan and would like to try it for myself dose aneone know were i can get the modding tools for galciv
i would just like to add my thorts to the no of stars vrs no of planits debate i agrre totaly with the just because you cant see them dosent mean there not there coments and would like to pont out three things 1) just because a system has one ore two jupeter size planets dosent mean it dosent have several small rocky ones as well 2) some systens may contain doble planets (ie were a planet and its moon/s are about the same size) or these gas gients may have erth like planets orbiting the
One feture i would like to see in GalCiv2 is customisable ship design (those of you who have plade masters of orion or alpha centari will know what i mean) so insted of having standard ship designs you would chose the type of hull, wepons systems, engins etc the choce of componets would be based on tech level eg at the start of the game you would have nuclear drive laser cannons etc Also Terror stars are brileant but have no ship to ship offencive capabilites there should be a way to up
