Posted elsewhere... IMO, farms suck in Intrigue. I have played three games of Intrigue. If you get lucky with RNG, you will find one or two planets with one or two tiles of arable land. Build a farm, get a little food and build a city. Food quickly runs out, especially if your RNG roll craps out and you find one planet with one

Just purchased this mercenary ship from the Bazaar. It is supposed to give +150 base influence points to the colony where it is stationed. This is not working in Intrigue. I'm not sure it worked before, but I assume it did. I even looked at the individual contributing factors to the influence of this planet and it isn't listed anywhere. The name isn't listed nor is +150. The total of the influence at the galaxy view also didn't change. Just reporting an issue.

Such is the case with my current game of 10 planets so far, one planet with two arable land tiles. That just sucks big time and is not realistic in any way. Real

I have been playing a game with the Terran Alliance since the Crusade launch. I have a large galaxy. The turns were zipping along about 1 to 3 seconds nearly every turn until around turn 180 then the turn processing sloooowed way down. Each turn now processes at about 30 seconds to 1 minute. That is a real let down from a couple of seconds to so many. Tried restarting the game, same result. Restarted Steam, same result. Restarted my computer, same result. Not sure what happened. During my tur

I just emailed all the information to [email protected] . Thanks very much for the quick response!! Damon

I started a new sandbox game after the Mercenaries update. I am playing as the Torians. I've made it to about the mid game and the game crashes frequently now. It is unplayable really. I was able to play the campaign as the Torians with no issues. The game needs a tweak, fix, or I just need a remedy for my specific situation. I tried posting a support ticket on the Stardock website, but the CAPTCHA wasn't working properly. No matter how I would enter the letters and numbers it would r

I just checked my approved star name and it is finally in!!!! Vaydra is in! I am very happy about this! Thank you Stardock for finally including it! Thank you to 00zim00 for posting that you found yours. I had given up looking because it wasn't there for sooooo long. When I saw yours finally made it in, I thought I would look one last time. It was near the very bottom of the list. Now, I will look into buying Sorcerer King. I'm very interested in

Thanks Mormegil for looking into it. I have no problem with the peacekeepers being game changers. But, I have a significant problem with them being game crushers or game enders for the Human Player. I was no where near the most powerful player. In fact, I was 3rd or 4th in a galaxy with 6 major players. And as mentioned in my original post, I was the one attacked even though I didn't attack the other races. I was the peaceful race. Why did the "peace"keepers attack the only peaceful major

Awesome! Thanks Frogboy. Hopefully the peacekeepers can be balanced out and not be a game changer. Sincerely, Damon

I generally play the peacekeepers in my games until an AI declares war on me. Then I will defend myself and even go on the offense. So the big bad freaking overbalanced peacekeepers showed up and wiped out 5 of my 8 starbases in one turn. Why? Because they were being the "peacekeepers". But, here is the frustrating thing about it. I was playing a race I created that was similar to the Terrans. The Drengin and Yor declared war on me before the peacekeepers showed up. I saw them attack my bases

By the way, the way this simple thing has been poorly handled by Stardock is one of the main reasons I haven't bought Sorcerer King.

I'm not going to lie, it makes me rather tick off with Stardock. DO YOU HEAR US YET STARDOCK???? ARE YOU LISTENING?? I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GAME FROM YOU GUYS UNTIL YOU PUT MY APPROVED STAR NAME BACK IN THE GAME!!!! AM I BEING TRIVIAL? NO! ARE YOU BEING UNFAIR? YES! WHY WOULD I SAY THAT? BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATION REGARDING THIS SUBJECT! AM I TICKED? YES, YES I AM AS EVIDENT BY THE ALL CAPS!! I NEVER TALK LIKE THIS, BUT I AM NOW. FOR YO

I already did.

Yeah, I just got the exact same email response. I agree a lot of time should be spent on bugs, balance, dlc, updates, etc. However, for many founders names to make it in the game, but many others not to have made it, just how does something like that happen? It sounds to me, frankly, like someone was incompetent that day. I mean, really, how does that kind of oversight occur???? Surely all the founders names were in a single database. Surely our names weren't spread across several differe

AILanMandragoran, I looked in that XML file and my name is not in listed there either. And I looked for my screen name "damonlundy". Nothing there, even though I am an elite founder! I am getting really pissed now!

No way is it any violation of any kind. The name I chose, it may sound cheesy to some, was my wife's name, Vaydra. There is no IP conflicts or even potential IP conflicts with my wife's name. I have reported that was my chosen and approved star name to Stardock support also.

I still have the original email I received from Stardock back in August 2014 proving they approved my star name. Like everyone else, that approval email doesn't contain the star name you chose. However, I do remember my star name and I would very much like it added to the game. I've already contacted Stardock support, but have not heard from anyone at Stardock yet.

Thanks Christian. That's what I thought. How did someone at Stardock screw the star names up so badly?? Many people are missing their prior approved star names. Stardock, Did you keep a backup copy of your original approval lists??

@Ambermonk Do you remember the specific video that the star names was presented? I've viewed a couple around the release date of May 14th, but can't locate it yet. Each video is quite long, were the lists presented at the beginning, ending, mid way through the video? Thanks for any help!

My name that was approved is "Vaydra" and does not show up. That sucks! I feel like I was jipped because my approved star name is not in the Star Names XML file, so it is not in the game!!!

My star name was "Vaydra".

Thanks for the information, but my submitted and approved star name is NOT in the list!! I'm contacting Stardock support. I paid for it to be in game and it should be there.

Hello, I named my star months ago before the deadline and received an email confirmation of it from Stardock that it was approved. Though I haven't seen my star name in any of my games, I would like to have visual confirmation of it in the game. As an Elite Founder, I understand some credits are supposed to show up in the game. Can these credits only be viewed at the conclusion of a game with the traditional credits? I would like to see the visual confirmation of my star name with

Ok, this is about the 4th time I've reported my inability to play this game. I spent $100 on this game and I really, really, really, really hope it will be playable once it goes live. I just downloaded Beta 4 and played to turn number 3 before the entire game just froze on me. I wasn't even scrolling out this time! I have submitted a Dxdiag before with no resolution. I even had Frogboy help me set my game into windowed mode, but unfortunately that also did not work. Now, this

Thank you Kryo for this tip. It helped as I was able to make it all the way to turn 35 before my first freeze. Unfortunately, this time the freeze was the worst I've had with all of Galciv3's beta's. This freeze crashed my entire system, forcing a hard reset. Oh well. I certainly understand this is a Beta, I just wish I could actually play the game enough to have any solid feedback I could give to help improve it. I hope these issues will be ironed out eventually, I trust they wil
