Caltrops - Galactic Civilizations





	[quote name="laudablepuss"]Well, thank god it's all fixed then. Just a <a href="http://draginol.joeuser.com/index.asp?c=1&AID=134452">few minor changes needed</a> to make it perfect. The x probably stands for xtra perfection. Wait, <a href="http://forums.galciv2.com/?forumid=274&aid=134649#1054389">what?</a> (I'm ColonelPanic btw). Check out MadDjinn's post for a long but still not complete list of bugs. Mysteriously, I still enjoy this game. Here I am harassing my friend about it: (15:15:29) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: Hey (15:15:33) <font color=green>My friend</font>: hey (15:15:52) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: I want to waste 10 minutes of your time telling you how much fun I'm currently having with Galactic Civilizations (15:16:00) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: You should take one more look at it maybe (15:16:05) <font color=green>My friend</font>: sweet (15:16:09) <font color=green>My friend</font>: i might do that (15:16:19) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: One of the funniest parts of the game is actually a bug though. (15:16:27) <font color=green>My friend</font>: what is it? (15:16:51) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: For no reason at all, dozens of ships from all races all over the galaxy just decide to converge on a single spot somewhere in my space. (15:16:56) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: It's the biggest space traffic jam eve (15:16:58) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: ever (15:17:06) <font color=green>My friend</font>: sweet (15:17:19) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: It's annoying because some of my ships randomly veer over there too, but mostly it's just hillarious (15:17:28) <font color=green>My friend</font>: nice (15:17:51) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: I guess the main attraction is still making pretty spaceships and then killing people. (15:18:02) <font color=green>My friend</font>: probably true (15:18:05) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: Another bug causes your military to be ranked incorrectly (15:18:27) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: which is great because then i can feel really tough when I'm ranked at the bottom and I wipe out the top ranked space navy (15:18:34) <font color=green>My friend</font>: haha (15:18:38) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: (they count ship numbers, not ship capabilities) (15:18:43) <font color=green>My friend</font>: ah (15:19:13) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: My capital ships routinely fly into a swarm of shitty little fighters and crushinate them (15:19:27) <font color=green>My friend</font>: crushinate? nice word (15:19:27) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: I killed 6 fleets (average of 5 ships per) with two fleets (2 ships per) (15:19:43) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: I learned it on the internet! (15:19:49) <font color=green>My friend</font>: sweet (15:43:01) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: Haha: <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=8078">http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=8078</a> (15:43:14) <font color=blue>laudablepuss</font>: That was 2 years ago, I just saw it just now. (15:43:24) <font color=green>My friend</font>: nice Next up: setting the AI to crippling or something to see if they stay retarded and send swarms of tiny fighters at my battleships. The traffic jam bug became gradually more annoying than funny, so I posted that bug complaint. What else is wrong with this game? Not mentioned in that forum: your ships don't always show their path when you click on them. The autoswitching to the next idle ship is super annoying! The map doesn't scroll past the edges, so if you want to look at something way down in the lower right, down near the Turn button, you'll probably just end your turn by accident. And I'm still sad that espionage is so stupid, and that my ships just meander around aimlessly while shooting at the other dudes. And I'm also still sad about no multiplayer. Ah well. It's amusing for now, especially since I'm sick to death of WOW.[/quote]
