[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="45" id="3423973"] I'm not suggesting that every alien race be a homogeneous, boring blob like in Star Trek or Star Wars, but keep it on a believable level; in Galactic Civilizations 3 the Drengin Empire and the Yor have the other races by the balls to the extent where some races have been pushed to the brink of extinction or enslaved almost in totality. This is literally the worst possible time for internal dissent[/quote] &nbsp

Gal Civ 3 is the only one on my Must Have List. If I buy any other game this year(outside of humble indie bundles, I almost always pick those up) It'll probably just be something I've wanted for a while thats gone on sale.

[quote who="yarodin" reply="7" id="3421244"] I see it coming: just playing on dumb mode because on every other level, the AI gets to tricky for me [/quote] I would love this, really, to have an AI that can beat me on anything except the easiest of difficulty levels would be so cool.

yep, agree with above two posters. This Idea wouldn't be so bad if there was no endgame, A true sandbox, and as you explored further and further out the game spawned randomly generated empires in various stages of developement, but that would get boring fast.

[quote who="UmbralAngel" reply="4" id="3419391"] I will just link you to this article, it is based on American prices, but maybe it can help you. The econobox and sweet spot would probably be where you want to look, and make sure to read the alternate parts at the bottom of each page. http://techreport.com/review/25584/tr-fall-2013-system-guide [/quote] Thank you very much for this, it's very helpful [quote who

not possible for me, UK resident and no passport.

I'd appreciate if some more knowledgeable people on the hardware side of computing would give their input on this, if I can save some money without compromising performance too greatly please let me know. I can already save money by not getting the hard drive and putting the drives I'm using now into the new system, which I'm going to do anyway, it would just be nice to have that extra storage space, but anywhere else I could save would also be good.</spa

New race that looks like a green batarian? Iridian corp? where do you get this stuff? Or are you just trolling?

I'm fine with the current batch of humanoid alien races, but it would be nice to see some more alien races that are different from all the others, like the Thalan are. Having a race of Dragons would be cool, a Feline race too I would love that.

Looks pretty good. I purchased the bundle, and downloaded Heroes of a Broken Land Last Night, haven't tried it out yet, but I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with the game.

[quote who="Stohrm" reply="34" id="3417371"]But then we have games and movies that teach our children (and grand children) just the opposite! [/quote] This one tickled me, a responsible parent would teach their child that just because something happens in a game or in a movie doesn't mean it can happen in real life. It is not the developers/directors of games and movies responsibility to teach these things, their job is to entertain us, and sounds in space

[quote who="androshalforc" reply="54" id="3416661"] Quoting Phaedyme, reply 53 As much as I like science fiction I am not yet prepared for a science fiction 4x game that proposes that cold is something other than the absence of heat. I read an article early this year where physicists had claimed to record a temperature just below absolute zero I believe they claimed it was so cold it was infinitely hot therefore cold is hot

Space is not at absolute Zero, it's close, but because of the cosmic microwave background radiation CMRB for short, which we believe to be from the big bang, the temperature is at about 3 degrees Kelvin. At Zero Kelvin there would also be Zero pressure which is a very difficult thing to imagine

[quote who="Seilore" reply="15" id="3416159"]Why not just turn the volume down on the computer if you don't like sound while your playing a game, after all there is no music in space either lol, Perhaps put in a vibrating chair as there turbulence generated in your space ship from the engines unless you researched stabilization techniques, after all we want to make it as real as possible [/quote] Did you not see the part where I said I would not use that option if

The population value is not the actual population, but the amount of citizens paying taxes to your empire, these citizens don't necesarily have to belong to your race, but slaves will definitely not pay taxes, so won't be counted as part of your population, and after a conquest initially you will only get taxes from the occupation forces you sent to that planet. The Good races would slowly integrate the imprisoned former population into their own society, or ship them off to worlds be

sound waves don't travel in a vacuum, but explosions are much less fun without the accompanying boom, so keep the sound effects for space battles please. An option to toggle them off might not be a bad idea, but its not an option I would ever use.

It's a multi-player only game, if valve will no loner host servers for the game on steam then there really is no point in them keeping the game on peoples libraries because you wouldn't be able to play it anyway. I never heard of the game til now. I'm sure if there was a single player option then valve would have kept the game in the library.

[quote who="michaelwhittaker" reply="23" id="3415452"] According to my astronomy teacher given the conditions that make a earthlike planet. Mainly things like our moon and things like saturn and Jupiter. Our near circular orbits. Thats just a few out of fifteen conditions that make our planet the way it is. It really the difference based on modern knowledge of astronomy and wishful thinking. Oh I can find the conditions, but I'm not smart enough to crunch the numbers. Most of these

pure good and pure evil are abstracts that don't work applied to people, or civilizations, real or imaginary, even Hitler wasn't pure evil, even though he was pretty darn close. If he had won the war the History books would have written him up as some kind of saviour for his people, and everyone else would have been portrayed as evil tainted bastards who threatened the purity of the human race but were ultimately destroyed.

Indie Game Developers, Chucklefish, have been making this game called Starbound for 2 years now and very soon they will be ready to release the Beta version of the game to those who have pre-ordered. Pre-orders are still open, and look likely to stay there up til release of Version 1.0. It's a sandbox platform adventure game s

[quote who="Kyanar" reply="5" id="3412275"] Just another thing to note, it seems you don't get charged the whole hog at once either - my card got hit for a $2 charge when I ordered, but I haven't seen the other $97 yet. Presume that it will probably be closer to the ship date/alpha date?[/quote] Not the case for me. I got charged the full amount straight away, but maybe it's because I paid with a debit card not a credit card. More info on this wo
