Reply to lack of planets/ habitable planets v1.8 in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

[quote] The new expansion pack doesn't have the 2 gigabyte limit nearly as much because we've re-done the textures in a way that makes them use a fraction as much in memory even though they are much higher in quality. [/quote] Would you perhaps be talking about using procedural texturing? That's kind of what it sounds like, and if so would that make galciv2 the first major game to use it?

[quote]So Stardock.... Most gamer machines have more than 2 Gigs of RAM. The ones that don't have XP operating system anyway. I know that XP wouldn't use any more than 2 Gigs no matter what; but I have Vista and I don't have that problem. Do you guys want to update yourselves to the technology that has updated?[/quote] The memory wall has nothing to with windows Vista vs XP. As I understand it it's a problem with 32bit processing. So you could have 8GB of shiny ram in your PC and each p

[quote] While having a slider to control the max number of stars would of course be preferable, I'm not sure it is wise. As far as I understand it (feel free to correct me), scoring depends to some degree on the number of planets available (population, economy, research...). So given the same galaxy size (gigantic for example), players with better computers, able to handle more stars would be able to achieve higher MV scores just because of their better hardware.

And you're right. This type of writing really fleshes out the race. Just the small example here really shows how disturbing the Drengin are! One small tip though, get a professional editor to go through the text and find little grammar mistakes and typos for extra polish.

Here I was all mad today. Firaxis released the long awaited patch for Civ:4 BTS, and it contained many game ruining bugs. Then StarDock comes a long and posts a new update, and makes me happy again. Thanks guys

Reply to DL + DA + TA bundle? in Games in Development GalCiv2 Forums

I wonder if they will do it like 'gold', where people that already have DL get a rebate, and users that already have DL AND DA get a bigger rebate. Either way, I'm fine with having it mailed to me like I did DA.

Reply to IGN takes a look at Twilight of the Arnor in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Did they say in that article that TA is going to have upgraded graphics? I think you just lost me as potential buyer. I don't get how this is a bad thing. If your computer can't handle it you could always scale down the graphics. Finally, Stardock is attempting to make the game look better by upgrading all of game's textures. It's a pretty clear upgrade from GalCiv II when
