Just to be a little educated in a demotivation thread, but yeah, I don't see how El Nino has anything to do with Polish people, plus the fact that the guy's location is in Venezuela (which makes more sense). As far as I'm concerned, it is a fail demotivational. Just sayin' you know.

Gal Civ II is apparently getting an update sometime in the future, not sure where I saw or heard that though. The expansions add a lot to the game, paticularly Twilight of the Arnor, which also requires Dark Avatar to play. Twilight actually differentiates the races so they have unique tech...

Go here: http://www.galciv2.com and ask away. Terrans are the best race to start with, they feel similar. Go evil, as in, always select the evil choices. And I'll second nullspace's comments a great place to start.

I certainly like the idea of bringing back the starship range. For instance, in a gigantic map, I think the maximum range starships can travel is about half the length of the map, which is a very long way. However, it does make me wonder how a game on a large map would play like with what has...

Firstly, it is possible that there will be further enhancements to Gal Civ II. I'm sure I read somewhere that Stardock are developing another patch/update for the game, which will no doubt include features that the fans want. Remember that ToA was greatly opened up with the editors. Here may not...

Building ships due to anger. I love it! Done it many times. Even better is naming those ships when in said anger stage, expletives included. I just wish that the names weren't restricted by character length.

Have you actually contacted Stardock tech support. There is an error file generated when the game crashes, which will be of use to the Tech Support team and may help get to the bottom of the problem. I have the exact same video card as yourself and suffer no problems, even when my system had...

You raised some good points TowerWizard and I do have to agree with a number of them, paticularly points 4 and 5. That said, I'm not going to rebut your points, but instead go off on a bit of a tangent and indicate some of the strengths that Gal Civ has over Civ IV. Firstly, the implementation...

Have you tried the Gal Civ 2 forums by chance? I don't know what else it could be right now. If I think of anything, I'll let you know. Good luck :)

Check your rally points? It is possible that they've been assigned to move to a rally point. You'll need to have a look via the Governor screen. Sorry, it's been a little while since I played, basically go to the Civilization management button, then the Governor tab, and deselect whatever one...

Simple - you're ready when you're ready. You be the judge of that. Or, quite simple, don't think about moving up and just do it ;) Once you go up though, try and avoid going down* in difficulty and instead focus on where you might be going wrong, and as such, improve on those facets killing...

And to read also. It is nice to read a team game which seems to me as though it has a different dynamic to most games played and posted about (ie: single player with no teams) especially with one AI dragging another kicking and screaming into war. Well, I guess that happens with vassal states...

I was looking at joining this series of games with the next one, have a look at moving from Monarch up. I can win Monarch fairly well, though will succumb on occasions, currently I'm in the process of trying to win on monarch with every leader, on marathon -takes forever, especially with late...

So presumably a domination win is in order? If that were the case, how much in the way of landmass is required to net the win. I can see there is a lot of land to conquer. Also, I've noticed a fairly decent mix of religions in this game. How is that affecting the diplomatic standings, along...

You are right going to http://www.galciv2.com If you go to the "galactic library" option, that has the downloads for GalCiv2. Take your pick from there pretty much. Let me know if you are stuck any further. For advice on what mods to use, I'd suggest you sign up to the forums and ask...
