I have been messing about with my save and managed to see where one of the monsters was coming from. It was a group of silt skaths that travelled 9 squares in one move. [e digicons]:omg:[/e] Narr, can't be, I must have pressed return twice or something.
No, no,no. I have just done a test. I had my men leave the their towns and stand on the edge of the borders and sure enough the game sent monsters in from God-knows-where that one-shot my towns that has taken 100+ turns to build. It was a good job it was only a test and I had my save. This is not fun nor is it challenging, it's just plain frustrating. This will not do. [e digicons]:thumbsdown:[/e]
Aww now this is getting a bit stupid. I am getting high level monster that were next to the AI outposts and towns coming miles to attack my towns and outposts. I am allied with the AI so it's not like he is sending them. Come on Stardock, fair play.
Oh!! You mean its not buy one get one free? [e digicons]:-"[/e]

The game is jammed packed with all sorts of different stuff that I love, a lot of them are those little things. One thing that does stand out for me is being able to design and rename your Sov, heroes and units, it sort of gives the game that personal touch. Things I would like. To be able to play for 2 million turns without crashes, slowdowns or bugs.
Hey!! Great there are a few here that will come in very useful, thanks. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Shame on you Stardock for not supplying a key-map with the beta. [e digicons]:sheep:[/e]
[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="8" id="3152495"]The first thing the bugs do when they get into a game is to disable the sensors capable of detecting them. [/quote] That would explain why I can't find any. Darn, just my luck. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]
This is the save right after it became a slide show. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78408640/G2.EleSav
Turn 502. Myself and 3 other AI. Large map. Just had my first battle with AI, after which the game turns into a slide show, unplayable. But my CPU is only at 27% and my memory at 42% So I have no idea what would be causing this.
I have read the games description several times and no where does it say 'Galactic Civilization Ultimate edition plus bugs'
My problem is not enough heroes. I have only found one and I am now at season 450. [e digicons]:S[/e]

Just had this happen to me, I am around season 400+, memory usage 40%. I could not end turn, but I did notice that a pioneer unit was stuck in the running animation. Loaded last save fixed it.
I am trying to get the computer to automatically move to the next unit after the first has used all of it's movement points up. The trouble is that it only works now and again. Is this a bug?
Any kind person out there know of a list of hot keys for EFE? Most needed is a (next unit with available movement points left) hot key.
I bug? The game shouldn't have any bugs, GalCivII has been out for 50 years, all bugs should have been eradicated. :p
I am well into a game 0.914, and I am having no problems with places to settle. I have 6 towns linked by outposts, and have only explored about 1/8 of the map. I am quite happy with this as I don't want to play the game of city micromanagement. Besides it adds strategy to building your empire, and I love having to search for a good spot, you find some of them in the most unlikely of places. :)
No-no, I would hate to HAVE to use steam myself, much prefer Stardock central. I was thinking of the games exposure to the masses. No to steam only. Yes to Stardock central + steam.
Well... I didn't much like 0.913, but 0.914 is apple pie and cream. [e digicons]:inlove:[/e]
You bring up some very interesting points. Yet to come to any firm conclusion it would have to be discussed in it's entirety.
Thank goodness for that, I panicked when I saw the title, I wouldn't like a time restriction on my game.
I have noticed that the Sins beta expansion is up for sale on Steam and was wondering why EFE is not.
I am playing 0.914 and have not seen evidence of the AI cheating yet, but I am sure that it is. :) I am keeping a careful watch for any signs of the dirty, filthy, cheating AI, and will report my findings as and when.
I would like to request a visual indicator of when the AI is doing it's thing. Sometimes in my excitement I am clicking like crazy not realizing that the AI is working. Thank you.
Versions 0.913 and 0.914 playing on beginner. I have found the monsters to be tough but as yet, not a problem, there is always a way to handle them. What I am looking at are the occasions were the AI cheats, and monsters ignore the AI completely, this I don't like at all. It seems to be 50/50 atm, so maybe just a bug.
I am getting the splash screen. I have loaded 0.914 about 6 times today and each time it has the splash screen.
