Register the game like kryo said, then you should be able to install. I personally found Stardock pretty convenient and quite unlike odiferous bovine excrement.

Hey, galenbd! I didn't say anything about Laser 1. My comment was infinitely more insightful.

Not only does the colony manager screen need a minimap, but so do the planetary production screen and the ship production screen. Otherwise, on larger maps, players are reduced to gimmicky planet naming, and/or extra mouse clicking to get optimal production. It would also be nice if the planet list and the colony management screen were linked so they were automatically sorted the same way.

Nice concept, but I'm not sure how it would work in practice. Unless (see exception below) the the research costs were perfectly balanced most players would figure out the best new weapons vs. enhancements tech path and follow it every time. Then it wouldn't be a real choice. Because of the way the AI chooses new tech paths this would end up working to the player's advantage and the AI's detrement. The other effect it would have is to let players catch up really quickly in weapons areas

Production screens UI question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Is there an easy way to see where a planet is on the galaxy map (like the mini-map) when setting a production order for a ship or a social project?
