You should restart your game and use a bigger galaxy and more usable planets. Bigger galaxy because then you gain more time for expansion, you'll loose, because of beeing unexperience, but this HAS to be Your game after this will be MUCH better, because then you know what you are doing.

Hi Patric, take a look on this thread: https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=162&AID=109533 there you can read what's broken and hints on how to run a workaround without having to download the whole game. I cannot say anything on the Collectors Edition Stuff, because I don't simply know if it's activated for me or not. I didn't received any errors, so I think it's activated, but I don't know how to proof this. I've read th

I noticed such observation myself. But as far as I can tell this happens only if the planet was building something on the surface, looks like there can be only one building-event per turn, so spaceship OR construction. Maybe you can confirm this?

1. "I don't even know how they produce this many colony ships" You are aware of the possibility of buying the ships? This makes a huge difference in the start of the game.

@JStar: Did you read my post on the numeric format? Check this please, not just switch the language. Maybe your windows doesn't switch over completely, if this is the case, you can switch as often as you whant. The language is unimportant, the numeric format is the problem making gc2 "hiding" the textures.

Hey, it's not only a question on afford an net connection, its often also a question of logistics like no connection to a telephoneline in the room the computer is installed, traveling for the job and having the game installed in a hotel during the evening and such things. If an internet connection is needed, it should be published. e.g. HL2 did so and everyone knew this before buying the game. You're right, you just need it to patch, but th

It WILL work, this is because of the organisation of the files. Only the language-dependend files could cause this trouble, so only these need to be changed. You can even enter the missing entries in the German files, and this works, too (I'm running 1.0x.2 on German now). But it's up to you, on the one side spend money for downloading and on the other side running the copy-way and trust Frogboys words who say next patch will support other la

@Astax: The problem isn't the game itself, the problem is getting it to work. Think about you bought a game, you install it and then you have to switch over your windowssettings, have to install several megabyte of patches (supposing you could even patch), how would you feel? Lets compare: You buy a car. After the car is delivered to you, there is no gasoline, you have to call someone to bring some to you, because you cannot drive.
