[quote]Oh, and what program takes screenshots? I saved two game positions that I wanted to take a screen shot of.[/quote] Gengsta - while you are on the screen you want to capture, hit the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. This saves the screen to the O/S clipboard. Next open up Microsoft Paint (or any other graphics program) and Paste (ctl-c). this will paste the "Print Screen" image into the graphics program, and then you can save it to disk....

[quote]The problem I see with only a tech victory is that the quickest way (and someone correct me if I'm wrong on this) to get one is to conquer all stars but one and then plow your money into research... so since it's really more of a military rush, why not just make the game a military rush? [/quote] Personally, I've never done a tech victory, but I agree with the point you are making. In fact, it looks like all of the possible victory conditions can be accelerated by doing a milita

[quote]Military victory, Mar 2189.[/quote] Awesome "Ray the Wanderer" it truly boggles my simple mind how you accomplished it so quickly :sniff!: I need more practice !!!! Speaking of practice, Michael, any hints on the settings for the Late July Game of the Month?? I could use this time to practice before the next GOTM. What are you thinking about??? I kinda like the "only one method of victory stuff"... here's a thought: Tech win, All aliens Evil, human Go

[quote]ImperialGuard, Did you play evil, good or neutral?[/quote] I stayed neutral. I did not receive many events in my game, and the ones I did receive were not very useful, couple of BC's, production etc..

Hey Michael! Just finished the game last night! thanks again for doing this stuff. I uploaded my game to Apolyton, but forget how to attach the file to my reply >:( Not too many people indicating they are playing... I am quite surprised, especially given all the posts about Metaverse being unfair etc.. This game gives everyone an equal footing to play with....oh wel

Hey great game Bhazel ... I've learned a few things from you just in reading your message here LOL I just finished my game also in Jan 2203, not as good as yours unfortuneately (:( I made a running AAR as I played, will try and condense/summarize it and post it here as well. My game followed more along the lines of Michaels game, taking out the AI in similar order and with similar tactics....

Ship Range and Starbases - There is a connection ? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I was just reading some of the AAR (after action reports) for the June Game of the Month ... BTW -> Alot of FUN the Game of the Month !! plug for GOM ;) anyways... In the AAR's, the authors wrote that once they had established a starbase, they were able to then colonize out to further sectors !! If I was reading that correctly... does this mean a starbase increases the range of ships? Did I miss this in the manual ?? Can it be any type of starbase or it has to b

Reply to New Poll - Gal Civs 2 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

My question would be: What can you really add to GalCiv II ??? better graphics? which might look sexy, but don't add much to game... more evolved/involved combat? which would be cool... or does GalCiv II signal a whole different paradigm within the GalCiv context ????

the one thing I like about the GOTM when I just play a game on my own, I don't play all the time 100% focused... meaning I'll be playing along, and "oh did I forget to do such and such?? oh well, I'll just do it now, not big deal... " ... but with GOTM, I am paranoid EVERY turn!! :) "have I done everything correctly and efficiently as possible before I hit that end-turn button??? I am playing FOR REAL here!!" LOL

Reply to Metaverse Submission problems in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]ImperialGuard - I searched back to about 10 days ago and did not see any data for either of your submissions. Any chance you are behind some type of firewall that may be preventing GalCiv from sending the data?[/quote] Hi T-Man ... I have been submitting from work, where I "assume" there is a firewall?? When the games finished, I was prompted to submit to the Metaverse, and hit the submit button, but received no errors. I guess I thought everything went okay. :notsure:

Reply to Metaverse Submission problems in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi T-Man... hope it okay for me to post my submission problems. I submitted a game a week ago, and it has not shown up. After the submission, I realized that I had not "registered player", so I have now done this (figure that submission is lost). I submitted a game today (June 3), it has not shown up either. Maybe there is a delay in posting the scores? Or maybe there is a problem with my submissions??? Anything you can do to help would be appreciated !

Thanks very much Def Zep ! ;)

Reply to alliances in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

maybe I could ask an Alliance question please?? I have played around 10 games, I haven't payed alot of attention to Alliances. I noticed however, that when I am in communication with the AI, I never seem to have an option to offer an Alliance! what are the prequisites for an Alliance? I assume you need to research the Alliance tech, anything else ? thanks! :D :D
