Colonization -Placing the food distribution upgrade does not place a pending build icon on the tile(image could be missing) causes the tile to go invisible -Colonization of ‘maia II’ the colony map shows earth with the tile grid appearing between earth and the moon looks like I’m placin

Gal-civ 3 alpha first thoughts and impressions Disclaimer I am writing this as I play my first playthrough of the alpha these are my immediate thoughts when playing setup – options -tool-tips with basic explanations on what different options do

On lunch ATM kinda hoping its another 5 hours or so. that way I can be home when it releases heh heh although I still need to install steam ... Shoulda done that last night What's really annoying me is that the most recent e-mail in my folder is from stardock software about windows 8 start menu

speaking of spies 1) spies shouldn't be identified immediately in gc2 as soon as someone placed a spy on your world you were notified this should require some research or a cost to detect or something [quote who="chepelink" reply="58" id="3451649"] -If you place a spy in a research lab, instead of nullifying the lab you can “steal” half or all research points from the lab each turn (there’s no point in doing something similar with factories since you cann

"Colony Adjacency Bonuses" does this mean tiles? or one colony (say manufacturing specialization) giving a bonus to another colony (planet) nearby (by shipping refined materials and such)

how will this happen will we receive a msg or email with a form or similar or will there just be a forum post where we throw out names?

im not sure i like the comment on squarish shaped galaxies i mean it makes sense to put it into the mini map but why does the mini map need to be square? from my understanding most galaxies are roughly circular or spiral i could be wrong though wouldn't this mean that the hex shape is a better fit? if you're just making it square because the mini map is square and that's the way its always been done; seems like a silly reason to me

personally I have 0 creative or artistic skills and while I want a ship that looks cool most I the time I would just slap some pieces together and load it up with weapons im hoping that ship templates will be easy to get so I can be both lazy and have a ship that looks good

[quote who="Tyrantissar" reply="56" id="3450429"]The real question is, was my idea really shot down or was it used elsewhere, I may never know. [/quote] wait are you asking if the hexes on the production wheel are inspired by your idea which was inspired (at least in by the looks of it) by the hexes on the map im sorry but it appears like the only connection between your "shot down idea" and the production wheel is hexes and hexes have been around for quite some time in strate

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="49" id="3450125"] Don't be silly. You know what I mean. Here, from the dictionary: : something that is round like a wheel or that turns like a wheel So basically anything that is round and evoke a wheel for a reason or another can be called a wheel without any penalty in life. It is STATED by the dictionary. IT is a widely accepted metaphorical usage. [/quote] 1 : &nb

I never got to try the star trek mod or many of the other mods for gc2 ( too lazy to hunt them down ) I hope I can try them with gc 3

[quote who="FrostyThundertrod" reply="35" id="3449944"] Well it is still three sliders, now you just have three sliders in three different directions. BC slider goes Down to UP Research slider Goes from left to Right Production slider goes from Right to left. Just a more complex way to do the same thing.[/quote] maybe more complex in coding but much simpler in use i hated the three sliders because w

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="26" id="3449324"]I think a game with a 3 dimensional galaxy is desirable and could have a great "WOW" factor for sales, but the math to support it well would be nasty, very cumbersome. PCs today just aren't designed to make computations on three coordinates quickly enough to give the performance we need for games. We may need another huge leap in personal computer hardware technology before we could produce 3D maps large enough with enough performance to mak

[quote who="sulley1" reply="8" id="3449311"] I like this, but how do you get the AI to 'support' your proposal? Is it just based on your influence with them? How much they like you? Or if their type of civ likes the type of proposal you propose?[/quote] much like any other trade negotiation prior to the U.P. meeting you should be able to trade cash, ships, planets, technologies, or whatever else you can think of the important distinction here is that your j

i agree with admiralWillyWilber i just got around to reading the pdf today and the first thing that popped up was well there going to make being good suck again this event was pretty much the same event in gc2. Unless there is some way to balance it either through the ideologies tree or some other way; it will make the ideologies worthless. with

another option would be a supporting a resolution if through diplomacy i can convince enough other civs to support my proposal for a resolution then it gets pushed forward in the U.P. meeting or a pre-meeting where each civilization gets to choose a proposal that they want. the proposal with the highest influence gets pushed forward in the U.P. meeting

[quote who="lecek" reply="19" id="3448285"] GUI suggestion: Multiple monitor support! I made a thread about that a while ago and I would like to shamelessly plug the suggestion here if I may. [/quote] i think i had one going as well what would also be nice on this topic is the ability to adjust the UI to your own needs eve had a fairly decent UI that could be stretched across multiple monitors then offset so you could throw up a map/communi

i just posted this in another thread but ill add it in here not sure if it falls under AI, UI, AND MODDING: or ECONOMICS, PRODUCTION, AND RESEARCH: probably the former 13. Multiple tech requirements to unlock some techs. (the ability to mark several techs as a prerequisite for another tech (laser +

one thing i felt was painfully missing with techs was the ability to set more than one pre-requisite

if theres some kind of dedicated alpha forums for testers to post feedback on the ability to upload an image would be nice

the humor in gc2 was awesome; and i want more of it. Actually now that im thinking about it there should be a minor race that tries to throw a major pun in every time you talk to them. to the point that you're sitting in your chair groaning just because you need to talk to them and are dreading to see what the pun is this time.
