I am what you would call a casual player - and it basically took me about an evening to get used to the interface, rules, etc. Not as easy as a FPS though - it will take some time to adjust. Since I am familair with TBS games, I was up and playing in less than an hour or so regardless, and...

Brad has posted the v.1.1 Beta change log on the official GC2 site - he says the beta version of the patch will be released to all registered users between tonight and this Sunday! :) http://www.galciv2.com/Journals.aspx?AID=109552 This is one helluvan effort - There are many new...

Great idea on the mediums - never thought of that! :goodjob:

Thanks for the very clear explanation - :goodjob: I thought this would be the case - but I am not able to express my self 'mathematically' (though I do have a knack for implicitly understanding the mathematical process behind things - kinda an idiot savant - maybe my handle should be RainMan...

Tonight's new additions to my Terran Fleet. (BTW, I am going for a Larry Niven Known Space/2001/Star Trek hybrid theme in my designs this particular game.) Sentry Class Long Range Spy Ship Sprite MKII Long Range Scout

Thanks - good tip! After reading around on some other sites, there is some dispute as to the validity of the manual when it talks about armor values not going less than one - so the jury is still out on this. I'll try to research over at the official forums to see if I can discover the reality.

Don't neglect your military starbases. Not just for defense either - building one in advance in a sector you want to attack can be a huge help. The ship assist modules can greatly increase the power of small fleets. For defense on small ships, just put on the smallest and cheapest defensive...

I did. I just purchased and downloaded it - and installed it on the free disk space left on my HD from uninstalling Civ4, which I was not happy with. And I love the fact I don't have to keep a CD in my drive, uninstall other legal software I own, or resort to possibly "illegal" methods to...

Hi Brad - I just wanted to say thank you for your stance on Copy Protection - it really is nice to be treated as a customer and not a thief. I just purchased your game - not just for that reason, but it was a huge part of my decision. You have come up with a 21st century solution to the...

Hi Hark - glad to see you are still plugging away. Personally, I fixed my all my Civ 4 1.52 problems .... Start Menu\Control Panel\Add & Remove Programs\ Sid Meirs' Civilization 4\Uninstall. It worked for me. ;) However, if you do eventually come up with a solution for the newest version...
