Reply to GalCiv II and Voodoo 5 in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I know the Voodoo line had an intense following back in the day, but you can get a card for $30 now that would make that voodoo five look like dirt.

Reply to The Evolution of fleet composition in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I find that the AI during peace time seems to build their fleets with defenses geared to take on the strongest, not the ones they have the most animosity towards. In my current game the Iconians and Drath hate each other(Drath had the evil event). They both use missiles, yet they both have defense for beam, which is of course what I'm using. They are both on friendly terms toward me though. They just went to war, so they'll be duking it out with missiles and beam defenses. I waiting to see

Reply to Why are the minor races still so stupid? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've tried gifting minors ships in the past , but gave up since they won't use them. At first I thought it was a range thing, so I moved a ship near them and gave it to them. Still just sat there till they were destroyed. It does seem they were more aggressive in the past. There's five I think in my current game and they didn't even grab nearby resources, like they used to always do. Their constructors came out, went to the resources, but was too late in every case.maybe I'm just getting quicker

Reply to Ship Settings in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I usually set my starbase defense fleets on guard. It works pretty well as far as them not aggravating you to move every turn, but when you are at war they will go off of guard if an enemy comes near enough. In sentry though, I don't use it as they reset every time something comes in sensor range it seems.

Reply to Which fleet wins this battle? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

See what the fleetsim says Fleetsim said this: Terrans win losing 4 to 5 ships, 87.5% of the time. Terrans win losing 3 or 6 ships, 11.5% of the time. Any other occurrence, approximately 1% of the time. Does that mean that Fleetsim needs a little tweaking then? <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center

Go to Controlpanel/System then go to the advanced tab, then click on settings under performance. Once again hit the advanced tab and the bottom one will be you virtual memory. It's probably set on system managed. best to pick custom size and set the minimum and maximum to the same, as that will let it stay static and keep the VR from become spread across the hard drive for a little quicker access.Mine is 2500 or 2.5GB. Getting deeper in a game will keep increasing it's ram footprint as more ship

You probably should check for a video driver update and increase you virtual memory, especially if your playing larger maps. This game can take a lot of ram.Set it up to atleast 2GB.

Reply to Noob ship question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I play on a 900Mhz celeron but that's the only PC I've played on, what am I missing? Depends on what you have turned off or down. I know you play gigantic maps, so I'm sure you have some things down as my XP3000 slows if I don't disable some bells and whistles in that size map. When I recently upgraded my video card, I could finally see

Reply to Noob ship question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

You can change your ship colors in the race setup. Some of those ships are using Kryo's hull mod, but some seem to have some custom added parts. Kryo's hull mod doesn't add anymore parts, it allows you to use all races hulls and use them as jewelry. It also gives alot more options with blank hardpoints and such. Highly recommended! Edit: Musta been typing at the same time Kryo <img src="http://i

Reply to movies in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You most likely won't get smooth movies with that setup. I had a Fx5500 256MB card on xp3000. Movies would start then freeze. Only when I got a 6800 card did they run smoothly.
