Also, Kyro cannot read the mind of one frogboy and other stardock leadership. As an employee, he was answering on behalf of his company as he understood it at the time.

[quote who="noneis" reply="48" id="3529024"] I think discussed statement might be in this forum thread https://forums.galciv3.com/458598 "We are not planning on pricing it any lower prior to release (at which point it'll rise to 49.99)." Keyword here is "planning" and unfortunately plans can change... i bought GC3 for 45$ and thought it's lowest price until release too - apparently i misread this sta

I see your point if Stardock did promise the game would not go below a certain price. I fully support free market pricing decisions (obviosely) but I also hate it when businesses lie, even if unintentionaly. I DO NOT support false advertising and lying to customers if that is indeed what happened.

[quote quoting="post"] I've been watching and waiting and I've finally started playing the game now. So, I guess you might consider these my first impressions. I love the graphics of the first colonization of a planet; but it saddens me that what I see isn't actually what happens. In the vid the modules eject from the ship and make their way to the surface of the planet. That would imply to me that the core of the ship remains; but that's not

Since this game is a sequel it doesn't make sense to just suddenly populate the game with crazy non huminoid races like in Ascendancy (I think in that game the only huminoid race was the smart lizard people). They would have to have a plot that explained the extermination of all other races then a sudden populating of the galaxy and fast forwarding to hyper drive capability for all the races. Besides, the custom race feature and ability to mod in your own graphics will allow y

[quote quoting="post"] Which Starbase was I upgrading again? : I cannot count the times I have clicked upgrade starbase only to get this full screen window that gives me no indication where the starbase is on the map. Which means I forgot what I needed to add to it specially with so many module choices to choose from and with my 20 starbases. Oh did I mention one map I got only three viable planets (Earth, Mars, TheThirdOne) before being shut out

also, when you plop a factory on a tile, I dont think that is a single factory but an entire industrial complex taking up an entire sector of the planet.

I think every ship actually represents an entire fleet of ships. Kind of like how in civ games, your military unit is not litterally one of that unit, but an entire division or whatever of that unit. Now as to entire fleet of ships only taking a few weeks to a month... well I guess factory tech can make that happen if we are playing in a world that has hyper drive.

I noticed this same issue. I was wondering if it was just the way the game was supposed to be, but I thought it was fairly dark as well. Also, when you zoom out, do the hex border lines in unexplored terroritoy vibrate and flash when you move the screen?

I feel stupid now. Instead of saying "its not rocket science" they should say "its not computer AI programming".

[quote who="DrApostle" reply="16" id="3527402"] Also, disregard the lectures from a few people with logically fallacious analogies - they have trouble seeing how this represents a big shift for the game industry and for many of us and want to chime in on every thread about the Steam sale.

[quote quoting="post"] Hi guys, new here but a long time fan of the series. Got the beta off the Steam sale, couldnt resist giving it a spin. So far I find it very enjoyable, one thing bugs me though - how do I beeline to a specific tech? I tried left-click, right-click, holding shift/alt/ctrl while on the Tech tree - nothing seems to do the trick. Am I missing something obsious or there isnt sinply an option for that at the current stage of the game? [/quote] <p

[quote who="TimmetieT" reply="9" id="3527344"] Quoting Stanley Tarrant, reply 8 You guys would go nuts if you bought and sold in the stock market. What a ridiculous comparison. I realise the price of a product changes. But a company should realise that people

You have to take responsibility for your own buying decisions. A Stardock employee did not come to your home and put a gun to your head and forced you to buy this game. You put down $45 or $50 or $100 of your hard earned money because you felt it was worth it at the time. You could have waited like 4-5 years for this game to be $5 as part of a holiday special, but you thought paying the extra money was worth it at the time. No one is ready to launch a revolution when bread and milk go up, whe

[quote who="Whindog" reply="20" id="3526909"] Quoting Alstein, reply 19 I appreciate that steam features are important and bring in a lot of $$$, but you dont need to screw over other customers so blatantly. It is very disappointing. [/quote] </div

You guys would go nuts if you bought and sold in the stock market.

Guys / Gals, Look the AI is stupid compared to really good human players can do in 2015. Get over it. At least this means that a future Skynet has a long way to go before mass producing human killing terminators. Everytime my printer screws up I think to myself that AI has a long way to go to having a fully functioning T800 not screw up somehow.

[quote who="kryo" reply="53" id="3526978"] However, a tremendous number of the positions could only possibly arise through cooperation by both players with explicit the goal of creating said position, and thus aren't relevant in the context of an AI chess opponent.

OMG!!! US MALES NEED TO CONDUCT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST BLIZZARD FOR OVER SEXUALIZING THE MALE FORM IN DIABLO 3!!! They need to make more males be flabbier and with beer guts to make us middle aged and overweight male geeks like myself feel better!!!!

Stardock CEO who has an apparent love of frogs, I love your games and may you and your proginey (sp?) be rich for 1000 years. If we start to hate your games or hate your company, we could end your company overnight. Especially in the age of social media, etc. I was one of those who bought into Elemental vanilla and was absolutel

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="2" id="3526254"] Not really at all Zuigert. For my 99 dollars I got to see and participate in Alpha and of course Beta. Also as a founder I will get all the DLC and Expansions for the life of the game. It amuses me to no end to see the nerd rage over a company promoting thier product. You and I paid to get access 'earlier' and we got it. Now they are reducing the price to get more people to get their product. Absolutely no harm in tha

[quote who="peregrine23" reply="39" id="3526456"] Quoting DrApostle, reply 36 Developers now lay off many employees after a game is released. This was not always the case. Is this change good? I would say no. [/quote] <

If you hate the free market so much, we can always go to a socilaism model of making video games. The old Soviet Union produced exactly one decent video game - Tetris. Stardock deserves to get rich. They make great games. I don't see how selling a video game for a cheaper price is somehow evil. You got to play the game far sooner buying it back then at 39.99 rather than waiting until now to get it at 24.99. I am sure like 5 years
