Reply to Galactic Civilizations III: Mercenaries adds New Factions, New Ships, Mercenary Bazaar and more! in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

I noticed last night that my opt-in status had been removed. Yes, we're getting closer... EDIT: Never mind, just noticed that it is now back for some reason without me doing anything at all... Those internet gremlins messing with my impatient mind once again... I bet brad programmed them! ;) EDIT2: Odd, it's gone again...

Reply to Beta acess code in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Every time I try to opt in to betas it prompts for a code how do I find that code. [/quote] There's only been a couple of times that we have actually needed a code. That will always be there, the option to enter a code, but most of the time it hasn't been required and just selecting the opt-in option gets you ready for when it's released. You can also keep it selected so you never have to worry about missing any opt-in releas

Reply to No More Beam Defense? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="glasscitypc" reply="6" id="3617339"] ahh so the game isn't intelligent enough to add my missile defense tech to my beam defense tech, I see. I thought it was supposed to be artificial INTELLIGENCE. What was I thinking? Forced to use the ship designer. Not all of us get into that. Some just want to play. If I have a ship with 73 beam defense and I research point defense technology, it would make sense to ADD the defe

Reply to No More Beam Defense? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I don't believe this is a bug at all and it happens all the time with the stock ships. Why? Because of the tech you research. The game decides what is the "best" defense to put on your ships. Many iterations ago (pre-release I believe) the ships would be built with defenses for all attacks based on your level of research and what you unlocked, but that was changed. Not sure if it was just the devs that decided to do it or in response to complaints on the forum. But as suggested, just take

Reply to I noticed you can no longer build SB modules to take resources other Civs have in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yes, you're right. You used to be able to actually build the modules even if the resource was already being mined. Of course you couldn't get the resource while doing so until their starbase was destroyed. You can still get ready to take over that resource by doing just what you always did before, without the actual build part. Just click on the pass button and then after destroying their base, then click on the starbase again to build the appropriate module. I'm sure you already

[quote who="tilyas89" reply="32" id="3616689"]Hey frogboy, I'm really excited for the expansion. But what do you say about adding the option to have a diplomacy modifier that makes the Ai more hostile towards you if you get too powerful or close to a victory? I was thinking, as I described in my realm divide thread, it would greatly help with the mop up phase. [/quote] That was a controversial mechanic in GC2. Some people thought/felt it was too "gamey" to have

Reply to Games You're Looking Forward to in 2016 in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

Nothing really has peaked my interest to be honest. Too involved with GC3 and DCS. Though having said that, I did really enjoy the remake of XCOM with EU and thought I'd like the sequel that is due out soon. Haven't really paid much attention to details about the game until just the other day. It's now official, I'm looking forward to XCOM2!
