I was going to mention Spore, but it doesn't deserve to be mentioned here or compared to GalCiv [e digicons]:typo:[/e]

Hah, I like the way you put things [quote who="loganscollinsworth" reply="5" id="3421441"] Okay guys, thanks... i remembered how much i loved the other galcivs and when i saw multiplayer for galciv 3... i didn't bother to research, i said SUPPORT THAT CRAP! and spent monies lol.[/quote] Hopefully the alpha will come out soon and you will be able to download it. Don't hold your breath though :) As for races, I'll try

[quote who="NitroX infinity" reply="11" id="3421160"] Actually, waiting untill the game (including all it's add-on's/dlc's) is on Steam for just a few bucks a bunch of years later is the most cost effective [/quote] You have to also factor in the time you are waiting into the cost. Time is, after all, money. :P

Not gonna be released for a while I'm afraid and alpha not yet...

Hehe, that sounds amazing!

Does that mean ships I design might end up in somebody else's game? Sounds intriguing.

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="19" id="3420729"] Quoting ElanaAhova, reply 18 a convention site would be much safer... caution with internet connections into RL is definitely called for. Damn Stardock; they're just collecting us into one place so they can extract our brains![/quote] Now if they invited us to the studios I would start getting really concerned...!

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="3420629"] Yep, our thoughts exactly. Look at how desaturated Kona is now versus GalCiv II.[/quote] He looks positively pale! Ok, I came up with a complementary origin story for the Drengin. Probably incomplete but it was fun to write: ==== Billions of years ago the Mithrillar were fighting over the Telenanth when it shattered. A tiny, negligible piece drifted slowly away and after a few million years found

Not bad. I prefer if the Korath and the Drengin look a bit more similar since the Korath are supposed to be a subspecies, but don't make Kona too Korath-like for sake of continuity. Maybe make it as Drengin age, they look more like the Korath. Also, may I suggest that instead of Drengin hair getting white as they age, they instead lose colour by desaturation. Also, did you draw the painting yourself?

I like how the Galciv3 UI pays a homage to Galciv1 UI. :)

I thought those were the Dreadlords. The ones that might be Altarian also look a bit Arnorian. But are the Dreadlords even in Galciv3?

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="3" id="3420325"] Is it just me, or is Lord Kona looking uglier than usual? Old age must not be agreeing with him. Or is it the Torian diet? [/quote] They Drengin look uglier than usual to me too...

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="30" id="3419970"] I'm going to ask for a better interface to the founder's assets.[/quote] That would be very much appreciated. It's starting to look a bit messy! By the way I'm really enjoying the full screen diplomacy screen. It looks much better especially if it's going to be animated like you said. Looks nicer than Civ5 diplo screens as well! It would be a real hoot if the leaders also spoke. They don't have t

I was wondering the same , but then I thought maybe it's because the Drengin are a key race in GalCiv and they would deserve a more prominent position to show them off.

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="8" id="3419888"] So, what makes them different from the Korx then? [/quote] I always imagined the Korx as a mean/nastier version of the Ferengi. Korx: "You would like to buy my mother." Human: "Ehm, no thanks." Korx: "It wasn't a question, you are buying my mother or your mother gets it" This Iridium corporation looks like it's going to be version that tries to sell

That screenshot... It looks so similar to the one released for Galciv2 when it was being made... or one of the expansions...!

In four years the Crusade begins... caused probably by the Thalans angering the mutineers by destroying the terror star. Talk about a time paradox [e digicons]O:)[/e] [e digicons]:-"[/e]

Just use auto attack/kill. I think the keyboard shortcut is k :D [e digicons]:moo:[/e]

To be honest I'm not fascinated with the idea. It might work in some games with melee units, but in GalCiv they are basically all ranged units. It's just the projectile they use is different. The spaceships themselves don't touch each other. Now if you included military starbases, maybe it could work. To keep it within reason, maybe in times of war they could attack enemy spaceships one parcec/tile away from them so they can have the first strike when they are about to get attacke

They look really good. And importantly they look realistic as well.

The alternative is to use Germ warfare that some civs have and then destroy the colony?

Why does this remind me of ranged units in Civ5?? edit: Typo

I assumed whatever we've seen of the Krynn is the suits. And the Thalans were always a contingency since they are a small group dedicated to the 'disaster' of humans. "contingency: An emergency involving military forces caused by natural disasters, terrorists, subversives, or by required military operations. Due to the uncertainty of the situation, contingencies require plans, rapid response, and special procedures to ensure the safety and re

[quote who="mormegil" reply="36" id="3410402"] Quoting jim_viebke, reply 25 teasers or info would be welcome. Currently a hex sector, has a 12 hex radius, so there are 397 hexes per sector, which is a bit larger than a 16x16 GC2 sector. The smallest galaxy is currently 7 sectors. The largest we will leave as a surprise, for later. These values are all set out in data, that modders will have access to later, which should be fun. That said this is something we

[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="26" id="3410263"] There were a few things that bothered me back in GalCiv 2 ship designer. This isn't all of them, just many of the annoying ones. -Ability to pre-define module placement locations/not having to place the modules anywhere. It is something that has bothered me when designing ships and upgrading them. Any ship module I want my ship to have has to be placed somewhere. In many cases, I have to find places to go put the ship modu
