I don't feel that's a grammar thing, your looking at it wrong, but a pun that works well.

 

  One wormhole to many [stars/planets/cultures/people].  It sends the ship somewhere random in the galaxy.  Sometimes that somewhere isn't very far... but a lot of the time you can meet one or more cultures that you wouldn't otherwise be able to easily reach

Nice try.  :)

 

Another example:

The description for Galactic Navigators Guild

"Increases the moves of all ship"

Squirrels can not pronounce silent "e"s.  Everyone knows that.

Another example: The description of the Arcean tech Xeno Geology says "improve the overall quality of life of all it's citizens".  "it's" should be "its".

Are there plans to take a look at combat related things before the stand alone expansion?

Probably not.  Our main focus is to make the empire part of the game more engaging.

I know this is minor in most people's minds, but it is a constant source of irritation for me-- fix the spelling and grammar! Please!!


Thank You!

 



 

Do you have an example?

My typo got fixed!  I am so excited!

And yes, I am all too easily excited.

Thanks to Stardock, and thanks to Frogboy.  All improvements are welcome, big and small and in between.

Just to be sure: There are two aspects to my question:

One would be minor stuff like the 2000% (not a typo) attack speed stack with missile weapons (which existed for as long as I can remember (and I am not the first to make a thread about this)) and the not working shield leech ship components. See:

https://forums.galciv3.com/474590/page/2/#3640660 (there apparently exists a ticket for this for months now)
https://forums.galciv3.com/477757/page/1/#3637827

Little note on the attack speed stack: a possible workaround would be to just convert the 50% attack speed boost into something else (e.g. damage).

Which brings us to the other aspect, bigger things: In the second link I touch on the balancing of thread/fortitude/value parameters, and all the things potentially similar to the 2000% AS stack.

Apart from that there would still be the question of ship roles, which often boils down to escort+capital.

And there is the question I didn't ask: Are there plans to look into these for the standalone expansion, where big things are supposed to happen :)

Just wanted to pipe in and say the starbase patch made building starbases fun again. For the first time I have fully built starbases. Before I could never be bothered to fully built them up as it was such a drag.

Thank you and keep it up :)

 

Reply #92 from GalCiv3 Forums Top

Definitely.

 

The starbase update was an absolutely huge leap forward for me, I could never go back from that. It was also a pretty elegant solution in my opinion.

Are you guys still planning on updating the way invasions work?

Thanks

Invasions will get an overhaul in the upcoming expansion.

Infidels are spelled "infedels" in one of the statements in the diplomacy screen - while we're on the subject of typos

Where do we stand with Updates - DLC's etc before the Crusade Expansion in Spring 2017 according to Brad's interview  ??


Previous post - stated version 1.9  would include "Managing larger empires and rewarding small empires" which appears to be Game Play improvements plus presumably more UI updates

 

It would be nice if Modders could get some help and that AI could get some tweaking like Horemvore been doing in his AI Improvement mod.

 

Updates maybe being slowed down with all the work on the Ashes Expansion or work towards the rework of GC3 for the Crusade Expansion but informational post of game update status would be helpful.

Yes, it seems we are the forgotten step children no new information other than Crusade Expansion is coming...

Why are we not updating this site with future plans just steam?

Showing that there is an upcoming Dread Lords DLC coming?  Don't we already have a Dread Lords Mega Event in the game?
