Reply to Retribution for Humanity in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

I'm probably one of the few who played the campaigns and absolutely loves the lore. It's also save to say, that without either I wouldn't have become as invested into the series as I am now. However, I absolutely understand why you'd want to drop the campaigns. They take a lot of resources to make. Yet most players never touch them. So, implementing the lore and story into the sandbox directly (via quests or what have you) would be fine by me. However, it really depends on the impleme

A new version of Autumn Twilight v2 is out now in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hey, everyone! I released a new version of Autumn Twilight v2 and it's available on NexusMods now! Well, it's been a while since I've last posted on here and a lot of things have changed since then. Most importantly, the original thread for my mod got locked! [e digicons]o_O[/e] I'm not sure why. From what I recall, I never broke any rules. So, maybe it's due to the in

[quote who="TheFunMachine" reply="8" id="3696822"] I was one of those looking forward to more dlc, but I respect your decision. [/quote] Same here. Especially to those two DLCs. I really like the story-aspect of the series, so a remake of the GalCiv 2 campaigns would have been a great addition for me.

Reply to the new patch for Galciv 2 in Galactic Civilizations Series GalCiv3 Forums

I'm sad to say, but there is no German version of v2.2. While working on the new version, we modders changed a lot of text (not necessarily for the better, in my opinion) which all would need to be translated. If I'm not mistaken, the rights to the German edition of GalCiv 2 belongs to Kalypso Media. So Stardock would need to contact them in order to make a new translation. I don't see this happening. Still, if the lack of German version isn't a deal-breaker, you can still get

Reply to Is this game balanced? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="starhunter83" reply="24" id="3693099"] I suppose the most basic way to nerf cities would be to drastically increase their food requirement (like a factor of 2 to 4). [/quote] I would prefer it, if the food requirement would be moved from the cities to the population. Something like 1 food for 1 pop per turn. The cities still serve to increase the population cap. That would make it much harder to achieve those high pop planets, in my opinion. Currently, you o

[quote who="TheFunMachine" reply="9" id="3674835"] Well, there's GOG and I think SD still sell from their own store, so I don't believe Steam is your only option! [/quote] Buying the game from SD directly only gives you a Steam-key. GOG is the only non-Steam option available.

Reply to Crusade thoughts: campaign in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="3674799"] So as some of you know, I removed the campaign from the Crusade expansion. There were two primary reasons: 1. It was very important to re-emphasize that GalCiv is a sandbox game and NOT a story based game. 2. I would prefer to see the story only given out at the end of the GalCiv III lifespan and Crusade isn't going to be the last expansion. [/quote] That's disappointing, but I understand yo

[quote who="Maiden666" reply="1874" id="3654166"] - The model-progression from Quantum Torpedo onwards looks out of line with how the other groups handle their icons: Quantum Torpedo I seems to show an advanced version of Anti-Matter Torp III, but the desc states "new missile technology". The same irritating logic is repeated with Quantum III & Positronic Torp I; and Nightmare Torp uses the same than Positronic Torp II. If you look at how the other groups handle that, they always sho

[quote who="Maiden666" reply="1859" id="3653335"] There's a weakness inside the programing which seem to prohibit that the "Trade Routes" window under Finance-->Trade is updated more than once in a given turn. Basically, researching Trade (1st update), which actually adds the base +1, plus tries to add the +2 from tech itself (which will be delayed by 1 turn) and then trying to get that proposal working will be delayed also by a turn...
