[quote who="jmccrea" reply="10" id="3436896"] I actually made a graphic novel of one of my games and had it on the Stardock site for awhile.[/quote] Any chance that there's a copy of that still floating around somewhere mate? That sounds pretty damn cool!
G'day all, I'm Fate. I'm a 22 year old male pilot from Australia and I've loved Gal Civ since I first found the demo to GC2:DL on a gaming magazine when I was in early high school. I played the absolute crap out of that demo while I hunted around my local shops for a copy until I discovered that the full release was available online from Stardock so I downloaded the old pre-impulse client and continued to play the demo for a few more days until the download had completed!

[quote who="Rudy_102" reply="50" id="3432101"] 2AdmiralWillyWilber Shouldn't we, actually, have all ministers unlocked from very beginning by default? It may not be best decision from learning curve point of view, as you said, overwhelming new players.[/quote] Thanks for the feedback Admiral, my reasoning for tying the governors to the capitals was two fold. Firstly was to reduce the learning curve as I said, but what I neglected to mention was that
Cross post from the Overview thread, realised here would be more relevant! On the macro vs micromanagement side of the equation I would love to see the ability to assign different worlds to different governors for focusing planets singularly on one type of output. The way that I would do it differently to everyone else is that I would only have the different 'focus's' unlock after the appropriate Capital Improvement has been built. &nbs
What you're doing already sounds pretty close to perfect, keep up the great work Stardock!

The Arcean's aren't coming back as a playable race in vanilla GC3? That's a big shock! I know in the lore the Dregin almost completely destroyed them but for such a major race to not exist entirely.

I'm in Perth, Western Australia. If there's any other Gal Civ III elites in my region I'd be more than happy to meet up and have a chat - it'd be a great way to brush up on the old knowledge skills ready for the new game!! It'd be a great feeling to be able to go toe to toe with the AI from day one of the alpha! [e digicons]:beer:[/e]
Simply "Fate"
This was a planned feature of TA that looked like it was going to be seriously cool but fell through because of the complexities of it. From memory it was shelved with the idea of hopefully implementing it in GC3. I don't want to know if this is true or not, it does sound like a very complex system to build and keep fresh, I'd much rather be surprised by finding it after playing my first game in GC3. I just wanted to put it back in every ones minds! <br
Fair enough mate, as a student I know just how fun tight money situations can be! My rational is that the developer is awesome, the post release support will be awesome and the expansions for GC2 completely changed the game, so the quicker I can get my hands on them the better!

I believe that the Elite Founder option ($100) gives you access to all DLC and Expansions as they are released down the track at no additional cost. Regular Founder ($40) does not. I can't imagine anyone that's currently on the forums bought the $40 one, we're all too excited!
So. Damn. Excited. Bought the elite version, now I have to save for a computer good enough to run it by the time the alpha comes out! =P
I'm more than a lot excited for Gal Civ 3, 2 is one of my favourite games of all time and the forum community was a huge part of that! One of the coolest thing's that the community did every year was post their absolute favourite ship designs from that past year for everyone to see and marvel over, showing off beautiful, cool, funky or just plain massive vessels used across their fleets and games - without any care for the actual combat stats of the things!
