Erghhh! Terrible! limited tech? Having options to research this and the other not? I really hate this, first tech ages then this.. def a mod in order..

Will be there another patch before final release? There are many bugs and issues in the game do you expect them to be fixed for final release in 3 weeks? Some of the issues I can remember now: Shipyards than remain from planets who had a culture flip remain there while they should have flipped also or auto-destroyed. What about color options? Everyone wants more flexibility for faction and ship colors rather pre-made sets. Creating a mod is not

Many comments against the idea of a Colony base which is something normal in other games.. Many arguments this system cannot work because because.. A colony base is not such a complex and difficult addition to game's current system, game changer yes but with some limitations. As I said already a planet can build a colony base but only after they have a good production capacity and population to do it since it's expensive and you still need population to colonize the nearb

AI should auto-destroy them once the planet is converted or convert them as well.. this will become an issue when then game is released on 14 May and many more players start playing GC3. Well one of the issues...

Everytime I get a planet by culture flip the shipyards remain there inactive and I dont want to destroy because I don't want to declare war to the other race. What to do with them? I can't ignore them all the time sometimes I want to build my own shipyard there and I hate seeing them next to my planets.

In a perfect world the perfect computer would be one with quality as Apple's, OS interface made by Skins Factory, system perhaps based to UNIX/Linux and company Stardock. Most hated company EA.. then Apple only its love and hate.. for their cool nice but overpriced products.

It's well known bug already, others reported also. Same here as well. And sometimes the first few planets I colonize they appear blank in the planet list. In later turns new planets appear normally untill I restart game of course which all go blank.

@Seilore Colonizing a planet next to another race's planet still possible only it will make them a bit angry. [e digicons]>_>[/e] @Spark026 I say why not? It's not only about realism but it makes things simpler. Both system can work. Shipyards send ships to far away planets and colonies colonize the neighborhood.

Why I have to use a Colony ship to colonize Mars? Even now when shipyards are in space looks weird.. Wouldn't be better to be able to colonize planets next door directly from colonies? It will be a game changer and you can keep it in balance since only well developed colonies can colonize other planets since they need resources and population.

[quote who="leiavoia" reply="14" id="3539670"] Small wish: I relate more to the race icons than the planets. Planets are pretty, but convey no useful info. I have no idea which planet belongs to which race. I would rather have just the icon and no planet, or at least a greatly enlarged icon. [/quote] I would agree but unfortunatelly same icons apply for different races and not necessary to have 128 of them. In my current game I ha

It's true that UI lacks of usability and information. I totally agree with Uknown_hero. How come the planets represent empires? Really weird looking so many globes trying to figure out who is who. Why I have to see them in circles and lines? Want another solution? Have a window like GC2 and scroll. Too many? Sort by attitude/distance/technology/population whatever.. Toggle between major and minor races and even favorite ones. Much simpler and smar

No I did not touch those. I tried with mods many days ago before I read this thread. And I don't plan to work with mods again untill the final version of GC3. I'm happy the way I have set things now and playing.. Although seems strange one mod worked the other didn't both in "Documents" and both correct no errors. Tried both total mod and Append method. Faction mod didn't work, custom ship color mod worked. One is the game folder the other in core.

Oh well... I'm surprised to see my thread still going and it seems like a little war over PC vs Mac. [e digicons]:-"[/e] To PC fans I say that I decided to stay on PC for now but will stuck in Windows 7. I plan to buy a new PC this year that I will keep for 3 years hopefully more since every new PC lasts longer than older ones since technology improves and don't need to upgrade. As for Mac it's still in my mind, maybe in the near fu

I couldn't create a faction mod either. And "My Documents" is just "Documents" without My (I hate it) still mod didn't work. I tried many things it didnt work but I managed to create a small mod for custom ship colours for my race. And I had to create my faction inside GC3 files since mods don't work for now.

why don't you think about my solution I suggested before? Building upgrades instead new factories every time. Build just 1 factory and then add upgrades/additions to it better machines, androids etc. Instead replacing the old factories with new ones. This way you get a realistic way that works with Stardock's system

An alternative and more realistic option would be better instead new. Meaning for example instead factory1, factory2 and so on, have upgrades for improvements so a factory is equipped with androids and slight different icon but it's the same building only better. So when you have Industrial Sectors you have to begin buliding them but one level at a time.. not replacing old with new.

Stardock posted the System Requirements for GC3 https://forums.galciv3.com/461330/ but from my experience so far in Insane maps on my system with: i7 2600k, 16GB RAM game runs.. well much less than ideal, it's slowwww especially when it loads the map or in later stages and I play only with 4-5 other races plus minor ones. And several times I got a notification for low resources and I had to quit the game so I t

Oh well.. as I thought saddly.. [e digicons]:([/e] I have already thought about your suggestion but I suspected as you said that it will break the upgrade system and not only I will have all versions at once but I won't be able to upgrade the previously built factories.. so no I won't be doing this [e digicons]:S[/e] I just hope when the game is out someone will make a mod that it will work better than above method</p

When I started playing GC3 last year and found that I have to build a factory level1, then level2 and so on, I thought it was a bug. But as it seems it's by design. which I really hate having to build all the old improvements when I have the latest technologies. It's strange and stupid. Gamewise some might say it's good but when I research the most advanced factory I want to build that one and not the old tech first and it takes too long when I have many new planet

before this bug I couldn't get any Malevolent bonus perhaps if you are very good you can't be evil the same time. I click mostly Benevolent sometimes Pragmatic and a few Malevolent especially when it's about bugs or worms! [e digicons]}:)[/e]

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="7" id="3536974"] Bah,...all you Malevolent Idealogues! Benevolent, so you people loooove you! [/quote] I'm always going full Benevolent and some Pragmatic... The Benevolent bonuses are the best in game the planet bonuses, penalties for enemies, influence, as you said make everyone love u! [e digicons]:inlove:[/e] in pragmatic ideology double constructor modules.. [

an early report I was able to unlock all ideologies even Malevolent which normally I couldn't in just 1 turn. perhaps because I loaded a 0.81 version saved game but want to be sure if anyone else finds this in a new game btw the Bloodthirsty bonus where you get Overlord ships next to every planet you own feels overpowered! So many ships out of thin air.. it took me some time to order all of them!

[e digicons]:D[/e] [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

I couldn't resist and played 2 more games. Haven't finnished the 1st and the one I was playing untill yesterday I don't think I will be able to finnish either because of the new patch coming out today! Can't wait! [e digicons]:P[/e] Overall the experience so far is good but 2 things that still bug the game slow performance on Insane map and when exiting the game Steam hangs.. means the game did not finnish normally. Everytime. For performan

nope I just needed 2 constructor modules [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]
