No, you can buy it from their store and you will get a steam key from SD. They get a bigger cut this way.

It's pretty much ready to go now. Hell this game is in a much better state then half of my steam library right now. I've only really seen minor stuff like missing icons. Plus SD is very active after release and the community here also tends to help out.

It's been this way since GC2. Also, Frogboy showed off his own sensorship in his presentation for IGN. source: https://forums.galciv3.com/463970/page/1/#3541244

nevermind...your right something looks odd.

For instance, Drengin have weaker manufacturing buildings...but they also have a big military production boost so they are better at churning out ships but weaker at building up their colonies. Iridium has better trade techs earlier.

Yeah I like the current implementation. As I've stated before I want it more limiting and disallow specialization trading :D

[e digicons]:grin:[/e] This needs to be in the game.

Generally take flat bonuses before percent bonuses. And have as many farms as the largest quantity of resource booster buildings. It's a very simple way of getting the ratios right. If you want to get better then you may want to have a calculator handy. The adj bonuses is what makes this more complex (and for me fun). I love this system. Every planet is a puzzle waiting to be solved.

?!? What are you talking about haha.

I'm sure Stardock would want feedback if their are any specializations that should not be. They should make you think. They should not have 1 must have and 2 no way in hell choices.

Oh I know.

[quote who="zingo77" reply="26" id="3542097"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 23 Not happening. I am very very much against the idea of being able to pick all 3 specializations. They're supposed to be a CHOICE you're making at the exclusion of the others. <span style="co

[quote who="Ex Mudder" reply="7" id="3542090"] Quoting Illauna, reply 6 @Dumhed there really is no reason to pickup starbase sensors. They why are they in the game? [/quote] Because they are much harder to destroy.

[quote who="TheBirthdayParty" reply="11" id="3542102"] Quoting BuckGodot, reply 10 You can absolutely trade for multiple specializations. I already "filled out" one just by doing that. And this is Working As Intended, as it is allowing players to still get things they might not otherwise be able to. Like,

You can always play steam offline. I play most steam games on my laptop on the airplane including GalCiv. I think you need an online connection for the first time and *maybe* once a month

I'm not sure if it's bad for the game. You could do the same thing in GalCiv2 and the mapsizes were much smaller. I usually have scouts in the early game with engines sensors and range modules because they are cheaper. After mid game I have big Cargo ships loaded with sensors. I usually stick with tiny and cargo though. Although I might try a sensor battleship. @Dumhed there really is no reason to pickup starbase sensors.

In many cases grabbing multiple specializations like you could before was sub optimal anyways. There are some exceptions but only really wanted 1 per branch.

I don't think you can. Honestly, it seems wierd that you can trade specializations.

[quote who="Space Cadet Stimpy" reply="3" id="3542016"] They are specialization trees, not generalisation trees! You have to make choices! What's next, being able to be benevolent, pragmatic and malevolent at the same time with all the bonuses? [/quote] *Cough* you can do that

I wouldn't dismiss the cheaper specializations to quickly. They can help you lower your global wealth allocation and increase your other allocations. This can have a HUGE benefit in your overall capability. They also allow you to create more ships and such.

I like the new trees. It seemed wierd to have a specialization branch and be able to select all 3.

When they add the Hall of Fame I hope they also add leaderboards which is what metaverse was I thought.

Larenex he is talking about the 0.90 Opt-In. If you didn't Opt-In you can select all three techs in the specialization branches.

I think you can only have 1 specialization now per category...which makes sense otherwise it wouldn't be a specialization.

With all the different ways to get bonuses you actually might need to do some math to find your answer. The adjacency bonuses kinda throws out the idea of having a build order. It really depends on the layout of the planet in question if you are looking for optimal output. Generally build factories first, then research. Farms are only needed when you are about to max your pop. If your pop cap is 5 and currenly have 4.5 population and have growth rate of .1 you optimally
