[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="22" id="3424015"]Well, maybe the confusion could be reduced by when choosing the difficulty, it showed the AI rating and bonuses. You know, show that the AI was at 70% full power, and 50% normal abilities, while very hard difficulties might show AI 100% and abilities at 120%. Heck, if we are talking this far then why allow a player to adjust both variables independently. Lets say let the player do something like set an AI to 50% and bonuses to 400%.[/quote]

[quote who="Zydor" reply="2" id="3423713"]its a Strategy game at its Core - not tactical battles.[/quote] strategy games require strategy battles the last time a lining everyone up in a row and letting them take turns firing was a valid strategy was during the early days of gun combat i don't get why you want to keep this system so badly

[quote who="John1979" reply="21" id="3423640"]A possible way to implement this is a power core requirement that distributes power for engines, shields and so weapons. New "generations" of the power core might not be compatible with older hulls, can't fit or something. New weapons and so forth need them so at a certain point the ship just becomes un-upgrade-able and needs to be moth balled or turned into a museum.[/quote] the power core could be a crucial part of the ship that cant

3) talking about the traditional auto explore a) it needs to be updated to (in my opinion) prioritize range from start point in gc2 it started by exploring its current sector then went 1 to the left then 1 to the left until it reached max range, what it should have done was 1 to the left 1 down 1 right 1 right 1 up 1 up 1 left 1 left and then expanded to the next sector out b ) it should account for sensor range in determining the next point to explore if i have a sensor radiu

[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="2" id="3421362"]My thought is, what happens when the minor civ is uplifted mid game? Do they suddenly get a bunch of planets to so they can compete with the established civilizations? If a minor civilization is uplifted without proper resources, it would be easy prey for the other civilizations. If a minor civ is uplifted mid game, but it has no means to do anything, did anything change?[/quote] i would think that uplifting a minor race would

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="1" id="3421304"]Michael, what you are describing isn't a virus, but behavior designed into the product by the developer. Also, I had this problem when I booted my newest PC for the first time, which predates the GalCiv 3 announcement by a couple of months, so I had to have gotten it from somewhere other than from StarDock websites.[/quote] we need a sarcasm font im hoping this is sarcasm because what michael describes pretty much fits my definition o

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="6" id="3421684"] Quoting theboogeyman, reply 5 The problem with multiple monitor support in most strategy games is it may give an unfair advantage to someone in multiplayer games. Remember that not everyone has multiple monitors. I know that Brad has stated that Gal Civ 3 will be primarily a single player strategy game but that is something to take into account if he wants to keep multiplayer balanced. It's

[quote quoting="post"] For all the talk about the maps and interface and ship designer (All of which makes me resemble a lonely island song) one thing that I haven't seen discussed yet is multiple monitor support. Imagine being able to put the colony management screen on a separate window? Or the science screen, or just about every screen other than the main view.... ... Or even have a second main view window. So you could put window 2 on an importa

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="3" id="3421214"] Quoting androshalforc, reply 1i have a second question about research the way its laid out implies that each tech only has 1 prerequisite tech is this true? Take a look at the lower right side of the screenshot. There, under "Perquisites", are "Required Tech" and "Another Required Tech" mentioned. In my opinion, that seems to imply, that multiple prerequisites are possible. In any case, we don't know how old

i have a second question about research the way its laid out implies that each tech only has 1 prerequisite tech is this true? i was very much hoping that the game would allow multiple prerequisite techs for example shield disruption on top center should have shield theory or one of the first shield techs as a prerequisite as well as whats listed

I like the idea of being able to automate this to an extent. colonize use governor X then let me know so i can choose the final buildings some things that come to mind 1 ) multiple programmable "governors" this way i could quickly choose the basic specialization of the planet based on location / planet quality 2) the ability of the governor to use bonus tiles effectively and possibly be able to ignore bonus tiles if i so choose (300% bonus food may not be your best cho
