Re: Well, I\'m through with the game

Hmph...I only do SP since my gaming habits are sporadic enough to rule out MP, so is there any possibility to mod a better AI? Or would a note to Illwinter asking for more improvements here be a...

Re: Sins of a Solar Empire

GalCiv 2's ground combat consists of displaying two numbers (attacker and defender) and counting them down at different rates. Whoever reaches zero first is the loser.

Re: Balance Mod

Turning out colony ships quickly is important in the beginning stages for establishing in-system colonies and grabbing neighbouring systems. Even a 1-2 turn lead can become significant if it allows...

Re: Multimedia Pack Updated, FQM 5.00 Beta 13 Rele

Some very nice stuff here Fyron. The new planet textures and surfaces (thanks MasterChiToes and Syann!) make a pleasant addition to stock.
