One way you can go to war and get your citizens on your side is to raise your energy prices. Wait a few turns, then start leaking information about that particular enemy having weapons of mass destruction. After a few more turns, your citizens will be begging you to declare war on that race. Just make sure that when the dust clears, you "find" some weapons of mass destruction. Even if you have to plant it there, just make sure you "find" some.</fon

Reply to Options you'd like to see added to GC2 in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Options I want in the Game: 1. A Strip Bar add-on for starbase. 2. Naked images of dancing alien women for the victory screen. Or men if your into that. 3. Orbital bombing so i can just eradicate a whole population and re-colonize the world instead of invading.

Reply to 32Mb Graphic Card enough? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Agp Aperature won't really do much if anything. Only way is to upgrade to more memory. But that all depends on how much and what type of memory you have in your laptop. I recommend taking it into a service center and let them look at it. That's if you don't wanna do it yourself.

Reply to 32Mb Graphic Card enough? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

To answer your question Kord. Yes, it will play it as long as you update the driver for the graphics card and play it while your plugged in. It might be able to run on battery life but it will suffer. Try lowering your graphics settings as well.

OMG, MSPaint. They still include that in Windows? You can always try GIMP. Seriously, its a real program that is free and works great. Google it since I forgot the actual site. But be warned. (update: Here, go to http://www.gimp.org )

Reply to moonbases in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Its a cool idea, but it would seem more viable just to have starbase. It's more hassle with having to land and take-off from the moon since there would still be gravity. Also, large battleships can't really dock on the moon since it would have to land and landing would be hazardous. With a starbase, the ship will just have to pull up without dealing to much with that annoying gravity thing.

Reply to Writers Block - Need help with Ship design in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

what trick i do is to zoom all the way into the ship itself so you cut into the model and see the inside of the ship. There are hardpoints inside of the ship, so you can mount engines or whatever in there. You might have to rotate abit so you clip into it,.

Reply to Alignment Scenarios: Being 'Good' gets the shaft? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

i think when you go evil you loyalty should go down while when you do good your morale goes up I don't know.. Maybe it should be that Loyalty goes up for evil since everyone else who isn't loyal to me would already be in concentration camps or have already been process into baby food.

Yo Exzachly, thanks for that update on the Scenario editor. A couple things. On the top where it says Player Race, I tried changing it to Custom and saving it, but the Player Race keeps reverting back to Human. Looks like its not keep that value. Does the minor race Colonize and Invade really actually work? And a few questions, whats the A.I. Tech checkbox do? Also, at the bottom portion. Is that part work

Exzachly, thanks for taking the time to do this. Let us know where we can send some donations. I really believe that people should recieve compensation for their work. Even if that work is free, a little thank you in any form would be a welcome. Anyways, for the Custom scenario editor. I first tried opening a scenario. I made some changes, then clicked on Save As and gave a new name, for example, Test. Problem is, when i exit, it ask's

Reply to Tell your Custom Race story here. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

can't wait to read it... I like the two other stories btw. I was thinking, maybe if I can get some help, I would like to mod the game to something that is totally different (story wise and ship design wise) from what it is now. Instead galaxy filled with alien civs, I was thinking of doing human factions fighting for control. No aliens, just good'ol humans doing what they know best. Slaughtering each other.

There a way to randomly generate a map? Also, when I tried the scenario editor, it doesn't save the new settings. Thanks for the utility btw.

Instead of invading.. how bout bombarding in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

A good feature for future update would be instead of invading a world. How bout being able to bombard a planet reducing its population. This can be use to soften the populace for an invading army. Or we can bombard the planet till the colony is completely destroyed. Then a colony ship of our own can come in and recolonized the planet. I mean sure, if we invade, we'll capture and subjugate the alien populace. But how bout if we don't w

We are known as the Phoenixian Domain. Genetically, we are humans or for that matter, our ancestors were from Earth. Long ago, an evil nation that was so evil it believed itself to be good, discovered a wormhole in the vicinity high above of Jupiter's north pole. Well this nation, once called America, thought it would be best to explore this wormhole. They discovered that it lead to another world. A fresh virgin world ready to be taken. (You see,

Reply to I REALLY HATE .... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The thing I hate about the Torians is not that they did anything to me or my empire. Its just that every time I look at them, I feel like I want to vomit. I don't know, but when I see a Torian face, its just asking to be kicked right between the eyes. Kinda reminds me of Scotty Pippen from the Bulls back in the 90's. It doesn't help when they are next to me and are allied with the most powerful military civilization. I try to keep my mil

I really hate the Torians... OMG, they are so disgusting and ugly. No wonder the Dregins wanted to wipe them out. Too bad they failed. But in everyone of my game, I always go after the Torians. I don't really wipe them out that quick.. That'd be too mercifull. I WANT THE BUGGERS TO SUFFER!!!! ARGGHH!!!! A good addition to this game would be an option to orbitally bombard a planet and wipe out its population. I don't believe Torians s

And spearthrower, cutting off the chickens head isn't the only "fun" way of killing our feathered friend. Sure, I use to laugh till my sides hurt watching a headless chicken run around. But I'm an adult now (relatively speaking). I had an ex-army ranger, family friend, show me the fun and clean way of doing it. First you pick up the chicken.. Then you start petting it, then really quick, you grab its head and snap it's neck. If you find this too q
