You can create a choice dialogue and use a quest to spawn a hero in your faction. Give your faction a specific resource so it can be used as a requirement in the choice dialogue. The spell version would require you to do much the same, utilizing the spell cost to be the faction specific resource again. Or you can give the faction the summon hero spell. I would have to look up all the details on summoning a champion at a specific level. But the spawn rating is used to create a

Are you forcing nVidia to use your graphics card? I know you need to set the card to be used when running GalCiv 3 in the nVidia control panel. It could be the case that the computer is defaulting to your intelchip graphics card instead. edit: This is an optimus thing and I've had to set it on my 555M card.

There are several ways to ensure a faction obtains a specific hero... not sure if it is possible to specify the exact level of the hero. What exactly did you have in mind? Were you thinking that once you reach a certain fame point this particular faction will get Whoseit at level 9... that can be done just not in a clean fashion. Or you could do a solution using spells in the game and summon the hero and you have control over when and how the hero is summoned. Each of these will probably requ

I had a similar problem. I had to stop the process restart steam and start up Gal Civ 3 again and it worked fine. I didn't re-install or do a verification, but it did load after a long while. I am running windows 8.1

Murphy's law comes from the fact that some technician didn't know what he's doing and the engineer Murphy, said "If there is a way to do it wrong, he'll find it". The law was then immortalized from then on. As to the outcome that Rand Johnson is referring is the Law of Large Numbers. In other words, if you take that there is a particular probability that something can fail, then it will eventually fail when doing a series of experiments, although there is no given time

[quote who="Avatar137" reply="13" id="3474223"] Quoting Rand Johnson, reply 12When is the new patch to be released? I'm waiting like a kid on Christmas Eve for this! NEW TOYS!!!!! Join the club!! Soon, very soon is all we know. Enough to drive someone to drink!

Are we going to see a new version of the Radar ship? You know now with blinking lights? I know I enjoy each of these twitch live casts.

Thanks. I'm fascinated with AI myself, especially the mathematics that goes behind it all. How about these sexy asteroids... will that raise the rating of the game from G... to M (as in 'Mmmmm that's a good looking asteroid')

The tag you are looking for is 1 0 Removes that unit from the design list entirely. Look at the unit "Unit_BoundHoarder" for more details. This unit cannot be designed, but it can be built. Not sure if you can fix the party size as I've not experimented, but I think you have the right idea with the tag. If the tag <IsStartingUn

Yes. If you notice that each armor piece in the artgameitem.xml the tag There are Male and Female model types. Thus, if you create a special armor that has two variants one for male and one for female, you can support one unit type vs. the other unit type. This also allows one to set unique armor looks per factions. Look at Tarth Leather vs. Gildar's Leather. They have very different looks.

(If I understood this correctly) Stardock just said on the stream that one could design galaxies in their star patterns. They said they could generate the Stardock logo on a galaxy map. So you could set up your multiple galaxies situation as suggested. They did demonstrate a spiral type galaxy.

I do not mind the general city cap, although it does limit a playing style. This of course could easily turn out to be a boon for certain civs. Civ X has double the number of allowable cities. Civ Y has about half the allowable cities... This could play very well in making a unique game world. Although, on the whole this would feel very gamey on the whole of it.

Just thought you wanted to know what Zone of Effect was...

I'm excited to see if Adam presents his new ship for us on this build. The last was a radar gem.

[quote who="Soronarr" reply="672" id="3472464"]- any way to remove custom factions? (made in the Editor) I removed the early sovereigns I made, but the old faction is still popping up in the list[/quote] There also may be an issue with cloud storage. Be sure to turn this off for this game when doing modding. It seems to keep the files you delete, sometimes it keeps these files even after you have deleted them.

Since it is almost Friday and I have not seen a post whether you will be on twitch tomorrow, the question, will there be a twitch show tomorrow? Or Adam are you taking more time than expected in making a new ship ;)

There is a way around this, but it consists of spawning a quest. The quest is a simple choice dialogue and if you have a particular resource unique to your kingdom / empire. You recruit that particular hero as that cost. As abob101 stated, the "simple" answer is no. I can probably think of other ways to do it, but that is the only one that comes to mind at the moment.

I actually don't like the hexagonal look. But I don't claim one to be dated or not dated. Squares have a natural progression to 3 dimensions, whereas hexagons do not. Navigation done on the world is done via squares not hexagons. I'm not arguing going for squares over hexagons, just saying I don't care for hexagons for maps in general.

I suppose your right in presenting the case where you have defensive treaties where if war is declared on you your allies would join the fight. In the aggressor, non-aggressor the idea of the territorial boundaries in space are all speculated anyway. We cannot forget the right of innocent passage through territorial waters. This allows ships to travel through another nations territorial waters without being seen as an act of war. Of course, the details of well established trade routes

[quote who="androshalforc" reply="30" id="3472077"]i could agree with this on condition that if i had closed borders and you violated those borders without declaring war i could destroy your ship while its in my space without having to declare war[/quote] But if you do such a thing to any of my ships, I'll declare war on you. No matter my power at the time. Thereby defeating purpose of capturing / destroying my ship without declaring war. It boils down to should there be a

You can add several buildings. At the moment, I do not know of a limit to the number of buildings on a town.

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="23" id="3471706"] Quoting parrottmath, reply 22To physically remove your elements from your well established area cannot be anything, but be a declaration of war. I agree with your reply with the exception that I would call this act an "act of war" instead of a declaration. [/quote] Yes, this would be an act of war, so diplomatically if war was undeclared it would (should) be declared by the aggressor.

It boils down to the military border you establish is only applicable if you are willing to fight for it. Thus, if the other nations intrude on this space, it is you who should declare war. They should abide by your set boundaries yes, and if you say that is an act of war for the entrance of those ships, then declare war on them. The only natural borders in space are the planets themselves / any place you put a space station. These are the only areas which you have a physical presence

They were going to but the planet screen messed up on the stream. So, I think that they avoided them out of principle.
