Gal-civ 3 alpha first thoughts and impressions
Disclaimer I am writing this as I play my first playthrough of the alpha these are my immediate thoughts when playing
setup
– options
-tool-tips with basic explanations on what different options do
-graphics
-info on if a certain option is graphics card or processor intensive
-is there a difference between large and small ui or does it need to be reset first?
- sound
- option to keep playing sound when game is in background
-input
- sort inputs by category ( UI, camera, chat, etc)
-Galaxy settings playing 1920x1080
-options look really thin; larger font?
-Popups I like that there in here even though we cant change anything yet
Game play
- Mini-map
-not sure if this is intentional or not when clicking (and holding) on the minimap you can drag the mouse off of the map area and still
manipulate the large map
- If this is intentional an outline or something to indicate the edges of the drag area would be nice.
-map
- Edge scroll speed Does not appear to be working does not appear to actually be in fullscreen mode
-Colonization
-Attempting to build on a tile that requires some form of terraforming (arid lands). Causes the selected upgrade to be built on the next
available tile
-Random event ‘swamped’ precursor ship buried in ice “much of the planet is flooded” What does this mean? Is it just fluff info or is there a
penalty to available tiles?
those were my immediate thoughts gotta take a break for a few minutes and then ill work on some more
