Reply to GalCiv IV Dev Journal #11 - Combat AAR in GalCiv IV Dev Journals Stardock.net Forums

I still don't get it why combat should take multiple turns. As we are talking of galactic space and time scales. And you are going for an Age of Wonders vibe with multiple tiles? Again, why? As we are again in galactic space and time scales. Is it really needed to complicate battle in this way instead of giving more direct influence in the actual combat? I still auto resolve minor battles in Age of Wonders, Space Empires or Stars in Shadow, but major confrontations are a blast to

Reply to GalCiv IV Dev Journal #10 - Do we need a battle viewer? in GalCiv IV Dev Journals Stardock.net Forums

I still have the problem why all the options to create your own ships that look great but then use them not at all that it really matters. Not to have any meaningful influence bothered me more and more, but then not even see a cool cinematic battle of your ships is just frustrating. by the way, just give an option in the ship designer, to point on the ship from where the weapon shoot, and then just add weapons and defences by statistic, not that annoying placement and then searching a

Reply to GalCiv: What's next? in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

Please make Space Battles more engaging and interresting but get away of rock paper scissors. Don't make Combat taking several turns! What would be the benefit of that? Especially when it stays so uniterresting like now! Taking over a whole planet by ground forces on the other side would take ages. not that this should take longer in the game. Especially when you want to increase the amount of colonies.

Drengin didn't get a real boost? The Slaver "techtree" is so crippeling limited! Would be different if population is not so nerfed! What's the reason to get 20 population when it just gives 4.4 raw production? 9 gives 3! The first 2 workcamp tiers have even the absolute identical stats! Drengin don't get most basic stuff like space elevator! They are a most laughable opponent, and their description about inteligent? How, with almost none sience hubs?

I really like the changes and it makes GalCiv great again! ;) What I very much miss are the clearly different tech trees. The alterations by traits are minor. The Thalan don't feel very different anymore and miss most of their unique style.

The 10 points from my population with +5 from the computer score gets doubled by the adjacencies.

Reply to Bug 0.95 unbreakable tribute treaty and missleading AI offer in FE Support Elemental Forums

@CdrRogdan, so then the minus gildar in the net income callculation is not true? are you joking? yes they gave me gildar for a tribute treaty, but i have to pay them tribute and not how they wrote, "we offer you tribute". And it's no non-aggression or peace treaty, so no 50 turns rule, there was no X turns or anything like that. anyway, tribute treaties should at least be breakable by declaring war, but in my opinion just in general just negativly affect the relation.</

the AI offered me a tribute treaty in the way: we offer you a tribute treaty and some gildars. but now do i have to pay them tribute and can't even break the treaty or declare war? what the heck!?! please make this text more clear and it cant be that you're not allowed to quite a tribute treaty, it's your decision if they are pissed off of you. EDIT: hope its right now. the AI offers tribute treaty where you end up to pay and it works like an infinite non agg

Reply to Multi-layer maps in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Multi-layer maps would be cool. In my opinion even necessary. I like the city building part, but i hate that after some time whole continents are clustered with huge cities. so large that a mounted army would need two seasons to get from one end to another. with a Citymap where you can build your city as now, but just require one tile at the beginning. so till lvl 2 a city will use 1 tile (the small one), then lvl 3 and 4 will use a whole square and a lvl 5 city will us

Reply to [SUGGESTION] Overland military buildings/constructions in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I like the idea of militairy outposts. But that they would really be usefull, will you need some strategic points in the landscape. Like passes over mountains, bridges over rivers (which only are crossable with boats or over bridges), paths through extremly tight forest or dangerous swamps or the only beach where you can land between miles of steep coast. Then who cares about a the well defended soldiers in the stronghold when you can get into the enemy territory over a plain

Building in and into forests and more ideas of building in War of Magic Stardock Forums

My sugestion is, that it should be possible to build villages in the forest or an adjecent into the forest. Then often a unpopulatet landscape is just a huge forest. So it was in the old Europe, it had enough rain and not millions of buffalos. So the early farmer and settlers had to clear the ground for their villages and fields. So when you build in the Forest it should take some more time but also give you wood as a resource for the buildings and as a trade good.

Reply to Armada 2526 in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Sorry for disapointing some people, but for me Armada 2526 doesn't feel fun. Thats how the game is now for me. Armada 2526 is mostly compared with MoOII, but when you play MoOII do you feel the love in the Grafik, A2526 is just cold and sterile. The tech tree is strange, I dont like it to research a given Ship, I prefer to reserch the Hull, the Engine, the weapons and the Defense for itself and then put it together in my own style.
