I mostly use them for protecting relics or ascension crystals. Haven't seem too much of a bonus to using them yet. Near enemy planets I like to drop a culture starbase (preferably with lots of planets in ZoC) and watch the culture flips happen. Especially the enemy I am silently at war with. Hope there are more users for them though. Would be nice to find a good use for them.

Based on the machine specs I am pretty sure it has enough ram general Patton. If other games are running fine the problem is probably elsewhere. How much RAM does the laptop have? 16? 32? Did this happen before the last major windows 10 update? One thing about this style game v others you might play. 4X and other simulation games are not graphics hogs. Primarily they are CPU and RAM hogs as they have A LOT more information to process than your typical RTS or FPS game. As such they ca

That's possible, I like the really big maps. But may also have something to do with the amount of modded files too. Use GRM and GIM plus a few of my own fixed items.

I have, but I also have a lot running in the background.. though GC3 normally only uses between 4-6 gig of ram. I'm on an 8 core 16GB ram rig with a GFX 960 Saving gets sluggish and will sometimes cause UI issues with the ship/planet panel oh so slowly rendering. And they may have nerfed DLC 7 but yet again they have NOT nerfed the original text to match.

I know the removed megopolis was a flat +1 to pop cap while the std city is +10%. That didn't make sense at all... but unless you plan on making a planet a farming community it no longer makes sense to use the +pop tiles for farming only. Farms improve by .1 per level now instead of +1 per level. Not sure if that will change again post 2.71

blowing the empires budget on a high end merc works, especially one that can kill large hulls all day long. Had one game I was attacked by drengin and another race. One wanted me dead while the other just harassed me for awhile. If it was for my merc I would have lost the few planets I had at the time. In most new games I start, if I have more than 3 civs within 2 star systems distance I restart. It might make for an interesting game, but I don't want to spend the first 150 fighting for survi
