[quote who="Carsten_Sihm" reply="35" id="3556363"] But I have to type a Beta password - where do I get that? Carsten [/quote] No you don`t. Slow down! You must`ve whipped away from that screen fast.The game`s probably already installed while you were here. check the start up screen, see what version you have.
Looking forward to the patch and further AI improvements. Please consider further improvements I posted in my other thread. Cheers! :)
[quote who="redviper37" reply="13" id="3556263"] I have a correlary question to that... Let's say the Altarians have harmony crystals on one of their planets. They trade it with the Terrans for technology, for 50 turns. 20 turns later, I invade this particular planet of the Altarian dominion. Do I get the harmony crystals right now or only in 30 turns? I almost never pay attention to that... [/quote] I
EVERY game should have a good AI for it because not everyone wants to play Online or versus Human opponents. This will always be true. Neither do I think it smart to give up trying to make a great AI because we haven`t managed one yet. AI understanding is increasing all the time, and it`s only a matter of time before we will see something that can truely and fairly give a human player a challenge without the need to use bonuses. Then I await the c
[quote who="Larsenex" reply="4" id="3556238"] Can you drop in music files into the music folder?[/quote] Yes, but you must rename the files to what they are named in the Music folder or it won`t play. [quote who="Larsenex" reply="4" id="3556238"] Add classical music and will it not play? [/quote] Of course classical will play. ANY music will play as long as you follow my instructions. But they must be in mp3 format and renamed to wha
This can be easy or complicated depending on how much you know about computers, let`s try the easy way: 1.Find an mp3 file you like. Put it somewhere on your desktop. 2.Go into your Gal Civ 3 game folder and look for the Music folder. Copy this music folder and place it in the same folder (or anywhere you prefer) , so you have a copy if anything goes wrong. 3. In it (the original music folder) you`ll find a load of music files named under different thing

I like how logistics works since it makes a lot of sense. A lot of people think `Well why can`t I have as many ships as I want in a group?`, but it`s not that simple. The more ships you have the more it needs managing. It very much reminds, as a real-world example, of the problems that most airforces like the Americans had in WW2 when gathering their huge numbers of bombers togther to attack the enemy. It took logistics and a lot of learning to finally get them up and going without bombers ru
When you say unplayable what do you mean exactly? Is it very stuttery? My system isn`t even as good as yours (i5, R9 280X and 16 gig ram) and it flows perfectly even on really big maps. maybe you have some kind of anti-virus or other background utility interfering? Maybe defrag if your drive is not SSD?
1. Yes, it`s very possible to change music. 2. I don`t know.
[quote who="NightshadeXL" reply="48" id="3555978"] My brain is broken because I decided to back up my opinion with empirical evidence? Wow, you're a real piece of work. One defrag on a SSD won't kill it. If you're that obsessed about the lifespan of your SSD then I guess you better not install or remove any programs. The amount of idiotic trolls in forums amazes me. You're just some stupid tween trying to repeat things you've heard somewhere on the internet. Do you ac
[quote who="Rhaegor" reply="6" id="3542652"] I hate accountants and marketing people. I have a B.S. in marketing myself. All marketing people want to do is raise prices, plain and simple. That is how they ALWAYS come up with hitting goals and such. I can only imagine how much they hate the Steam workshop in the gaming industry. Accountants only care about revenue given a certain period of time, such as a month, or aged inventory on a specific spot in time ra
[quote quoting="post"] Hi. If possible, can we have more animated backgrounds that are a bit diverse. Also, if possible, some new tech advisers. Oh and leaders forground, maybe some that are opposite gender of what is currently standard. All this is just a request if time permits. Thanks, [/quote] Totally agree with this request. I also wish they could add a way for us to animate custom leaders we make. For example, if w
The Terrans are always good. In every game. It`s getting sort of predictable now. I`m thinking of making a new version of them which is more real world and just acts benelovent.
For me the Tactical AI needs work. Has nobody noticed how Transports will get themselves in the midst of a battle and get themselves killed sometimes? Or how ships don`t wisely stay back with the Starbase to use its extra firepower? It`s commons sense tactics when defending that should be standard. I`ve seen other 4X games do better. At least give me the ability to order certain ships to `Hold back`. Also some ground action would`ve been nice, even if abstracted. <
I still get defeated by the AI on Normal. Perhaps you guys constantly reload or are using some other exploit that you happen not to mention?
[quote who="leiavoia" reply="1" id="3555808"] 4. Does the vote by the Council to stop fighting wars actually work? I`ve been attacked even when I thought it had been agreed that all fighting should stop. If that`s just a belligerent AI deciding it don`t care then ignore me. It apparently takes a turn or two to activate. I made the same observation as you , but it does work (and really saved me too!) [/quote]
Wow, I missed out on that one. I only knew about the game by Angry Joes review a day ago. Anyway, I actually do hope it will remain exclusive. Too many times I`ve seen games say something is exclusive then 6 months later, everyone else ccan have it as well. That`s why I never pr-ordered, I would just wait.
Well, sure, have it as an option, but I wouldn`t use it. It seems silly to want to control how another Faction acts in its fights towards another, just because you don`t like it, so you want a never ending war which is even more ridiculous.
Well, if someone gave you a free deluxe cooker or washing machine, you still have to pay the bills to maintain it. he`s not going to give you the cash too. especially since he has no cash left. Immediately, you get this free stuff, you need to go over your Civ`s abilities and see what you need to cut down. Cut down on all of the stuff he gave you, obviously not everything since you want some of the good free stuff, right? Personally, when i`ve had this I simply changed the foc
Ok, just posting to say i really like Gal civ 3, but then again i liked Civ 2 -Didn`t like Suns as I am a turnbased fan. Stuff I like: 1. The customisation of your Civ and even opponent Civs. I managed to create my own Civ with me in the picture. I had to learn how to make a transparency, but after that no probs. Looks really great. I also made my own enemy Civ exactly as I wanted, really great when I bump into them ingame. I love all the colour o
