Tony's Geezer Gaming Perspective

from GalCiv3 Forums

I'm about 36 hours into Galatic Civ 3, and so far am hopeful. The graphics and game options are definately a plus. But gameplay at this point is not an enjoyable experience. Perhaps that will get better as more elements of the game evolve. 

Top Likes: ship design, graphical view of the galaxy, AI management of civ infrastructure.

 

Top Dislikes: Slow screen activity during play, slow civ development, tedious turms.

 

I'm looking forward to the next stage when actual ship combat can be observed and more cultures are in play. The game balance is not in humanity's favor at this stage in the game and it gets bring being stomped by the AI.

Ship combat will be in the December beta stage. And in my experience Terrans are the most powerful race because a. Dregin manufacturing is seriously gimped (probably a bug) and b. Altarian approval is bugged (only the first building is available), and c. Iridium ships are slow (I think).

The devs repeatedly mention the AI is in a very weak state right now. They might be stomping you simply because they start aggressive and remain at war with you. Assuming your colony management is decent, you might just need to research military techs earlier.

See if you can manage to have strong colonies and research Planetary Invasion by turn 100. If so, that's pretty decent.
