[quote who="NagyGL2" reply="5" id="2062061"]Thank you both for your help. I do not really understand how bugs of this scale may be possible in a game of this quality, but with these workarounds I think we can live with them temporarily [/quote] This is somewhat of a mystery even for me. Patch after patch is released, hundreds of hundreds of issues is improved/resolved. But certain game-breaking issues remains (witch would not be diffitult

Reply to Odd battle results in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks, I´ll check that out. Actually Thalans have better beams than I do ( they have Laser IV while I have Kinetic streasm II, but OK... in both cases the max damage caused by each weapon individualy is 1) So because I obviousy have a greater number (even if weak) guns, I can penetrate thalans shields. While thalans cannot penetrate my ARMOR since they have simply too few guns? Is this correct?

Please explain. I still do not understand. I have played this game for a long time and still do not understand how fleet battles work. This is the situation My (Yor) Fleet: 1 Heavy fighter, 4 cruisers (fleet 154hp) Attack: 37 beam, 0 missile, 0 mass driver. Defense: 5 beam, 5 missile, 61 mass driver.

[quote]The Kyrnn victory count started going down by 2 per turn as I expected.[/quote] When I myself tried to mine ascension crystals, I observed the opposite. First it was som 900+ turns left to victory... then at the very moment I built a starbase on a second ascension crystal, the turn-indicator dropped to half... to about 450... but continued to drop at a rate of only 1/turn. I suppose this is the way it should work actually, as the number seems to measure turns, not a

Reply to Sudden and extreme tech cost increases in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I´m also playing my first TA-game right now. Me too are playing with Altarians and I have noticed the same pattern regarding strangely increasing cost of technology. I become absolutely sure this phenomena existed after I realised that a certain weapon tech (I think it was some of the laser-tech) first would have to take only 2-3 turns to research. And then suddenly when I tried to learn it later, by witch time I produced much more research, that version of the laser-tech would now take 7 t

Great news indeed. :) Of course, I suppose most of those who wanted the game in the first place already have ordered from the U.S long since.

[quote]No offense, but shouldn't you be playing multiplayer then?[/quote] No! This game is supposed to be playable and fun for the single-player minded player as well! This has been the plan all along while the game has been developed. A good A.I has been promised and based on the A.I of GCII, this is even expected.

[quote] Sins is not a TBS. It's slow plenty enough as it is. [/quote] I don´t understand - If you are enjoying this game already as it is, then this should not even be your problem! Are you opposing the idea of having an OPTION to make research/building slower? Why? Would such an option hurt you somehow? You would not be forced to use it! This thread is not supposed to be a debate regarding game or research speed. I think we just want to show the deve

Reply to [Suggestion] Add more Game-Speed Settings in Technical Sins Forums

Agreed. For those of us who are mainly TBS players, an even slower (even MUCH slower) speed setting would be much appreciated. Also,tThose who consider "researching" in itself a strategic aspect of a strategy-game would also be happy if research time would be a strategic factor in the game. That said, is would be nice if MUCH longer research times could be chosen.

Reply to GREAT concept – loves it but PLEASE . . . in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Yes, I´m also one of those who likes it slow. The RTS I like best is Rise of nations were research and gamespeed could be set to very slow. Even then, I spent most time delivering orders to my units and the like - with the game paused. For many players, those who mainly play TBS-games, the possibilty to turn the game to very slow speeds is VERY VERY important - that makes a huge difference.

It indeed was a very nice and entertaining story. One should remember, though, that this blog is only based on analyzes and conclusions based on what the blogger personally believed was what the A.I was doing. There is no other fact pointing toward what the blogger was reporting. I myself do not agree with the conclusions regarding the A.I. My experience based on MANY games played is that the lack of invading is just plain moronic behavior and nothing else. (please,

And regardless of how many times I read the posts that it deletes the prior file before attempting to save, I still try a manual save after the auto save fails..... Yes, I have now noticed this also. Not only do the saving fail, but the previous one also magically disapears! This whole thing actually seems to be much more severe than I thought at first.

Reply to So... wait... how do I steal techs? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I have managed to steal some techs. My observations is that 1) You have to have reached "medium" level of inteligence toward that race for stealing to be possible at all. 2) Having better levels than medium does not seem to inrease stealing possibility. This is my observations but still just speculation of course. Only the devs knows for sure how the tech-stealing concept works and they do not really seem to be willing to share this information with us no mat
