Reply to Benevolent culture flipping of minor races - Stranded Pirates in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The precedent in historical terms is they should join your race. Austrian military assets were obviously absorbed by Germany when the country was annexed in WW2..... but they did not maintain active Austrian military forces as such..... So it kind of translates to Galciv in this way..... all the minor races ships become cargo pods on the map that you have to claim, and then the ships become yours.

[quote who="Yaxche" reply="12" id="3646626"] I think the advice in this thread is hitting the nail on the head on why I don't find myself wanting to play anymore. You "have to" rush constructors using ideology, build a ton of planetary star bases, stack sensors (which still feels like cheese to me, sorry), etc. You have all these wonderful races, different ideologies, and potential for role-playing and re-playability, but to compete there is a pretty linear pa

Reply to I must be getting old in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

So far as early military build up is concerned..... i have a couple of nice tricks for that; When you set up your game, put minor races on 'abundant'. Then put tech brokering on. During the game you can sell techs to the minor races, and when they don't have much money, you can buy some of their combat ships each time with your techs. The combat ships are very expensive but since they don't have enough cash for your techs, you really have nothing

Reply to Method for purchasing ideology points in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The problem with ideology is the brick wall you hit because of the expense multiplier. But i think it works pretty good, so the way to fix that problem is to have a late tech tree tech to increase the productivity of Ideology structures so you can breathe a bit of life back into ideology later on in the game.

I think if you scroll the mouse wheel back (zoom out) to reach the basic graphics, then it will be visible..... that is how i found out, because i zoomed out and saw the antimatter and wondered where the hell it suddenly came from? lol Black holes were still visible for me zoomed in though - they just look like a small black planet.

i have never imported any components so not much help for you there. i thought the in game component adjustment system is exceedingly adjustable toward size, angle, shape, everything..... are you saying you need finer adjustments than that?

Reply to How to detail (get fine tune adjustments)? in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

You can adjust all the scaling and alignment while designing ships in the game, so i guess you can import any old part and don't bother refining it until you decide to use it on a ship?
