And, no, I'm not going to tell you what any of the cheats are. Alright, could you shed some light on how the cheats work then? Is it a command console, or cheatkeys? <TD class="mb-Body-

Reply to Naming your ships in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Oh yeah, it's a question of immersion. It doesn't feel "real" if it's just Fighter, Cruiser etc. I usually name them after people or historic ships. For example in my last game, my fast colony ship was a "Colombus Class Colony Ship", and my battlecruiser was a "Hood Class Cruiser". It's stuff like this that, for me at least, takes the game from awesome to super wicked

Reply to Outside US preorders not collectors? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I want my money go to SD (who deserve it) rather than to some middle-man who don't even know a thing or two about quality games. Well, it wont be a problem for us Euros then, as Paradox do know great games. I love their games, except for Diplomacy, yuck.

Reply to the C word.. (cheats) in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

As I recall, you can run the game with a cheat flag and thus enable cheat mode. You wont be able to submit your games to the Metaverse though. On the subject of cheats, how will the game know you're cheating if you don't use the cheatmode? Couldn't you edit the memoryvalues to give yourself more money, fast research etc, and thus manipulate the metaverse? In effect, couldn't a "trainer" program catapult you to the #1 position in no time? Hop

Reply to What modding tools do you use? in Modding Stardock Forums

Photoshop mainly, a bit of 3D Studio Max. For text based modding, it's good ol' Notepad++. The only modding I've got planned is a custom race based on the humans (see personal icon).

Reply to Size of Download in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

There's nothing wrong with that. As far as I can understand, his problem is that it isn't clear enough that there's more than one package you can download. Personally, I didn't have any trouble with spotting the + button, but to each his own. Perhaps SDC could ask the user if he wants to download the application files only, or all packs in the tree?

Reply to Alt tab friendly? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Tabbing works great in the early game, but once you and everyone else expands it takes a while to get back in the game. A long while. So, I ended up playing it in windowed mode, and it works like a charm.

Tutorial first, then personalized. I would never bother with the storymode in a 4X game.
