I would still pay for a gc2 version. Seeing the competition gc2 should sell very well. I would point out that this probably be less complicated than making a new game, or an expansion which he has plenty of teams dedicated to games. Which once he made the game I'm not asking for continuous support as long as it doesn't crash. I would mention that thisIs a market that they would do well with producing quality games. 

Paul said in the Anniversary stream that there are no plans for a mobile version of the game, even stripped down to tiny/small maps, since they feel that there is no way that they could make money in the market as it currently stands.

Whether or not they ever change their minds and/or Brad has a different outlook only time will tell.  But at the moment it doesn't look like it.

Sellore is there any way to pull that off again.

there are a lot of ways to control pc stuff from android devices. I think gestureworks gameplay is one

Probably, I got it on steam for my cheap win10 tablet & it says it has some android stuff, never tried it with my android tablet tbh

Tested by booting via Windows 7.  I was able to use Remote Go (App/Program) and successfully run Galactic Civilizations III 1.8 on my computer but, play it on my android tablet.  Several downfalls is obviously you are still really doing everything on the computer it just appears that you are playing it on the tablet with the remote connection, although sound/video are all there and looks great.  Other downfalls.  No easy way to adjust zoom level w/ the touch screen.  Would have to adjust the ship movement controls for doubleclick or left click otherwise couldn't move ships.  If I could get it to work correctly on Windows 10 I may spend more time on it trying to get it to work better but, as of now I can confirm that it does work from Windows 7 via the Remote Go program that came w/ my Asus motherboard and was free to download the app from Google Play via my Asus Android tablet.

OK the downfall is right now I don't have a computer right now. Can you help me figure out how to put this on the android.

Porting is not simple. And target market share is critical.

Especially between mobile, desktop, and console.

In particular for Android/iOS, there are exceedingly few tablets able to meet the minimum specs for GC2, let alone GC3.  Remember you'd need a minimum of 1.5GB of RAM, and something less than 10% of the tablets have that minimum.  And, of course, spend a signficant amount of time figuring out how to completely replace the UI.  Which doesn't even address the problem of whether or not any tablet CPU is sufficiently powerful to handle something like a 4X, especially since GC2 isn't super-threaded so individual core performance is still pretty important.

Frankly, Android and iOS are right out, since the number of tablets which meet the minimum requirements can't even be enough to possibly make back any investment (which is several engineer-years, I'd guess).

Possibly Windows Tablets might make sense, since they have a pretty good chance of making the min specs, and there's not a lot of UI porting to be done. But I'd have to see what the total potential market would be, and I don't have a good feeling about that.

That may be, however, several things that prevent this from working...

• Android OS is different than Windows 10/8 (One would need to have Windows 7/8/10 to play this game not supported on Android nor will it easily adapt to android).
• Minimum Memory requirements for GalCiv III is 4 with recommended 6.  (Most Tablets only have 2 or less)
• Direct X 10.1 or better to be installed

I would love for this to be possible and, would like to say do this and it will work, however, standard tablets are not powerful enough for this game to work solely via the tablet.  I only know of the way I suggested above to allow you to play the game via the tablet yet still have the PC hosting and running the game.
