Update:

I deleted the app package, copied my original over, then updated to the BETA (skipping the regular version entirely) and it runs under beta. It's just the regular mode that crashes.

Hope that helps!

HI! Looks like the new update 1.1.2 is a no-go on my machine. I launch the game, it goes to the Proxy load screen, gets past the first set of loading files, then seems to crash on the second, window disappears (video?) and then a screen comes up asking if I want to report the crash to apple. I'm run...

AC: Operations are like "spells" in other games like MMOs. You research the ability in your research screen, then the operation will be listed in your production screen. Once you "buy" an operation in the production screen, it will be "produced" like any other unit, and...

I just disallow economic and research victories because they are boring. I figure that if you have a ton of money and/or a ton of research, you ought to show that you know what to do with it and utilize it to dominate the planet. This is kind of what I was thinking, in fact, I have turned off econo...

Excellent! =)

LOL! My ignorance is revealed. =) I never played SMAC Alien Crossfire, but sounds good to me.

Maybe all of these ideas (see below) are already in the game, and I just haven't run across them yet. If so, please excuse my ignorance! I haven't finished one of these long games yet. (I still have to try and finish my current, rather long, game...) I did some more reading on people's feedback for ...

OK, so I just spent the last 2 days playing on a huge (biggest) map with continents against all 6 factions on easy and quick research, and we are basically in an arms/power race at this point (with me losing since I am Divine Ascension, have a 33% research disadvantage and should probably be attacki...

First off, I would like to preface this by saying that I have nothing but respect for Proxy Studios, Slitherine, and Matrix games. They run their own businesses, make their own decisions, and as an outsider looking in, it's really impossible for me to comment on their businesses. Second, I would lik...

Just a question about the tech-tree handicap: Is that just for the player or does it affect the AI as well? I made all the trees visible at the start of my current game and the computer is already to nukes, and about 20 turns in front of me to get there. Obviously the computer wasted a lot less time...

Hi! I was reading through the manual about PFC, and while I didn't find any more information about playing the game (like what all the tech tree operations and items do), there was 1 gem in there - MOD DATA! I understand that on Windows, there is a \DATA directory for the game, and a second \DATA di...

Asteroids! That was the game I was thinking of. =)

LOL! Is this a troll? Actually, many of the VERY old school games from back in the 1980s had this sort of "universal" scrolling, where you could go off the bottom of the screen and wind up on top. The down shot is that it defies real physics, but the upshot is that if you are at the top of...

Evidently my new file replaced the permissions on the old one!



No worries man, it was just annoying me so I fixed it.

So, your game is not on Steam? Well, I guess you are not surprised that I never ever heard of this game before, and just stumbled over it (due to a youtube video by Quill18). And, to be honest, even though I like 4x and strategy games in general, I won't buy this game if it isn't on Steam. Merci, G...

OK, I found a hack for the icon problem in OS X, and it works. (I think the problem is some kind of file corruption in the game, or an incompatible *.icns file in the app package.) Anyway, here is the fix: 1) First, you have to grab the icon graphic from Pandora's game page. It will be on the home p...

Based on the latest Beta, it is GREAT.

No, based on the released game, the game is great, and I 100% agree with you on both points that it's better than SMAC and Civ 5. MUCH better than Civ 5.

I'm going right now to Facebook to post this game!

Peace.

Nice review! =)

To clarify, there is an icon for PFC in the Applications directory, and it does install fine on the dock, but it has the Os X icon for "unknown programs" instead of an actual GAME icon.

It's I minor nit, going to see if I can make my own icon and slap it on there. =)

Agreed. This is the game I have been waiting a LONG time for. Polished, great UI, very intuitive gameplay, and the perfect balance between complexity and fun. BRAVO Proxy/Slitherine/Matrix!
