Question: Is there a way to take a screen shot within the game? I have Windows XP

Print screen button. Then paste as new image.

Question #2: With the mods, it is said to put files in your data folder...which data folder... for mods or just the regular data folder?

Put the mods in the file ...galciv/mods/data. If you put them in the galciv/data file you will be unable to switch them off if you need to at some point

Any problems kaz, send me an email

Oh, there will be a pirate visiting, but I am only here to grab one single post for the moment.Get the Diplomatic damage control teams out just in case I helped re-open a can of worms in the General Forum for my opinions on the way empiring and recruiting are being handled. Since DW is kinda like the player liason to Stardock, I thought it was appropriate to come here.I know everybody thought they could just bury the issue after a hasty compromise and a gentleman's agreement a few weeks ago, but it was a temporary fix that may not last. Is this sort of exile really the answer? I am not saying anything crazy like re-integrate the forums or allow total unrestricted recruiting over in the other forum, but I do feel like the empiring community has a valid voice over there on issues just as much as anyone who can post about hating the game or has a Meta problem or bug issues or even wants to talk about the weather. The current fix feels restrictive, like the Secret Police are watching and will pounce on anybody that dares mention the word empire over there. And then we get the few totally anti-empire people. Why do their opinions count for more? I apologize if I help stir up a mess again, but I feel like a cover-up happened a few months ago.

I completely agree. But I would even take a more extreme position that echos that of a particular pirate: I think that this exile is a form of slow death for empires. I myself might not have joined any empire had I not seen MW's post in the GF. Many players are missing out on the empire experience from not reading about it in the GF. I believe that new players now view this empire forum as something out of the mainstream, isolated away from Galciv itself.

From my point of view, i believe that splitting the main forum into two was a sure fire way for stardock to lose most of its active gamers. Segregation has always backfired on the people that impose it eventually. I for one am all for returning to the main forum in a measured way. I do believe though that we should refrain from getting to the stage we were at before we left, where every other post in any thread was a recruitment drive.

Everyone from that era remembers the empire wars that happened as a few members jumped into other empires Now whilst i dont advocate doing that, i must admit it was quite a interesting time to look back on as the threads were teeming with people. These days the threads seem to be populated by a scant few people and as a direct consequence of this all empires are now desperate for new members who are still active!

So i say if you want to start up new threads (the old ones are too long for prospective members to read) then go ahead and do it The people that dont like the idea will just have to get used to not clicking on every thread!

Just my $0.02
