Hi, Ideally how many oppsing civs should you choose with on medium and large sized galaxies? I just finished a game on medium with 6 six races (including me) and it felt a bit cramped (and I kept on attacking the wrong race got a bit confusing). I've just started another game on a large sized...

How many opposing civs should you play with on a medium sized galaxy? I'm playing with 5 others, feels a bit cramped and confusing (I'm not too far into the game). Cheers

Why would you want to play in windowed mode? Doesn't it slow the game down (framerate and stuff)?

When I zoom out a lot the framerate seems to drop quite drastically, so I tend to stay a bit close but other than that I'm surprised that I haven't encountered a single problem. Thanks for the replies, good to hear others are in the same boat.

Thanks Blizzard and Duelling ground. I'll start a game first thing tomorrow.

I'm on a Dell D600 laptop, 1.4ghz Pentium M, 512mb ram, 32mb ati mobility 9000 graphics (icing on the cake :goodjob:) . Shameful isn't it, but it seems to work ok for me. Anybody else running it on anything similarly poor? Sorry if there's similar threads out there.

Are you GalCiv 2 fans here solely playing this game at the moment, or are you playing Civ as well (or other games)? I got GalCiv 2 yesterday but haven't started playing it yet as I'm still hooked on Civ4 (which I got 2 weeks ago). I'm a relative newcomer to the strategy genre, I don't want to...

Hi I've just recently got into strategy games (well, around a year ago) when I got introduced to RTW. Seemed like a natural transition to civ4 which I started on about two weeks ago, and I am completely and utterly hooked. I'm playing at Warlord level at the moment. Still finding some aspects a...

I'm on a dell d600 laptop with 512mb ram and with 32 mb ati mobility 9000 graphics. Surprisingly it works (I'm quite hooked), yes its a bit choppy and framerate isn't good, but its still highly playable. I run in at low graphical settings and at normal sized maps

Hi astrolad, I'm on the same system as you and the game does work fine. The framerate isn't amazing, but its still highly playable in my opinion.
