Reply to Civ Starting Proximity in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="10" id="3479217"]The same thing happened during the Alpha/Beta of GC2. Before the completion of the Beta they added code to ensure a better dispersal of empire starting points. What we have now is a totally random placement of civilization starting points...[/quote] Really? Cool, didn't know it was already totally random. Last build I didn't even finish my first/only game. Just started a new one and found I'm in the upper NE co

Reply to Civ Starting Proximity in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I haven't had time to play this new build yet but the thing I noticed in my last game was that on a large map all civs started very close together in the lower 1/3 of the map... I'm hoping that it was just a fluke and not something programmed. I would like positions to be totally randomized so that some will have to travel totally across a map to find another civ. That's my wish anyway.

Reply to Have You "Cut the Cable" Yet? in Personal Computing GalCiv3 Forums

I had Charter for phone, internet and TV. Was paying about $180 but when it was time to renew they upped it to about $210 for the exact same thing. I told them if they would make it under $200 I would keep it. They said no and I said goodbye. I still have the 30mb service, though with my modem I get 60-80mb most of the time and my internet phone I now use is only about $9 per month. Another $9 each for Netflix and Hulu+ and we've been quite happy these past 2+ years. In retrospect, I feel

Reply to Have You "Cut the Cable" Yet? in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

Yes, I cut our cable a little over two years ago and have never looked back. It's great not having many commercials (Hulu+ sucks for this... but Netflix and Amazon don't have them) and I have never been addicted to TV where I have to watch a show as soon as it's available. I've got a life that's much more important than sitting in front of a TV watching mostly stupid shows. It has saved me over $2500 these past 2+ years now. One of the best decisions I've ever made!

Reply to 16 Engineering hours for LH v1.7 in Elemental Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="209" id="3477170"] Just a quick update. I've checked in my code to QA. They're going through it. Some issues I'll have to look at (there's a race condition in my new battle rank code I'll have to evaluate). With any luck, the final LH 1.7 should be out this month.[/quote] Nice! Thanks for the update, Brad. Now that you've gotten me hooked on this game I'm really looking for

[1.6 Bug?] Disappearing Custom Characters? in LH Support Elemental Forums

Okay, I've created a couple of custom characters that I like to play with. I just went to start a new game and neither one of them is there as a choice anymore! What happened? I didn't delete them. They didn't die in another game. I can still see their .xml files in the appropriate location. What's up? What did I screw up? Is this a bug? Thanks for any help you can give!

[quote who="ZubaZ" reply="120" id="3476068"] Quoting Avatar137, reply 110 Was playing around with the designer last night and did something I don't know how. When viewing the ship in the game it always flies backwards! I like the design but can't figure out how to fix this without changing the design... Sometimes a little knowledge can be very dangerous! If you go into the options and enable the design gizmo, the arrows for size will always point you in t

Reply to Dev Stream Tomorrow (Friday June 27) at Noon Pacific Time in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

I'm curious about the pathing graphic we currently have. Right now, when the ship moves, the path is constantly updated to show how far its' first turn will take it. I don't like it the way it currently is. I was hoping it would show during the current turn and while moving, that the path graphic wait until the turn is complete, or even the next turn, to then show how far the first move can be, i.e., the green part of the path indicator. I hope th

Reply to Ship Battles Buggy in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I just had a blue screen of death. I had a battle pop-up message like you and clicked yes to confirm it and nothing happened, no battle. Clicked to attack again and same thing. Saw I still had 3 moves left, moved the ship and tried again. No go. I then tried another ship and tried to attack. Same thing, nothing happened. Then I got the BSOD.

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="22" id="3475913"]Trumpeter, thanks for a well thought out reply. I too will wait and see. There is still a long path to go before we see how thing stack up. [/quote] Yes, that was my point also, we need to wait and see how things will go as it's too early in the development stage to get all bothered about some game aspects, IMHO. There are some good ideas in this thread but we'll just have to see how things start to flesh out as
