Disappointing spouses dlc - was hoping for a restoration of the dynastic elements of game play. Guess dead DLC is 'end of the line as far as adding new content to my install of L Heroes. More time for galciv3 after all.
I'm not a pc wiz, but may I suggest you go and duplicate this post in the PC gaming forum, or the joeuser forum. Actually, I'm not sure if joeuser is accepted pace for your query - but PC gaming is for sure.
Even on small maps - a great idea!
Ok, lets get down to brass tacks wit this thread. Wait until June 17th, and it will be my birthday.

There are some very interesting ideas here. Many deserve a close look, further development, and followup. One comment about your description of 'influence.' I never understood the area of influence to be an area of control. I saw it, rather, as the range the planet/starbase was able to effectively project its 'power/etc. The entire area (volume of space) is not filled with that planet/starbase 's influence. It merely delineates the outer bou
My own experience is getting frustrated when the game controls are not obvious. Some games require the player to click a certain way, or in a very specific location. When the location is not easy to see, etc., and my character gets killed because I can't click fast enough to actually hit the 'right' spot on the big, massive, clearly seen and obvious door, I get a bit fried. I get killed, not because i don't move well,or didn't come prepared. I get k
Addendum to my comments earlier. The tactical combat system is one I dislike. I would prefer a turn based system where all the orders for each side are imputed, and then the PC enact those orders. Conditional orders, like archers firing on first unit that closes with it, melee unit stands and defends (exerting a ZOC), or advances towards selected enemy unit to engage in melee, etc.
Given the state of drone tech in RL here on Sol 3, my suspicion is that 'one person' fighter craft will never compete well with drones. GalCiv is not a hard science based game franchise. I would prefer that fighters not be apart of the game. I would prefer that auto-drones be used instead. By 'auto' I mean drones that can function without direct control from a 'handler' located somewhere else. Game play wise, I agree with Paragon" fa
I'm OK with it as is, assuming the options to customize it are added in later, in line with GalCiv2+.
Just read article in local newspaper about a study being done on gamers. The study suggested that its not necessarily the violent content of games that leads to violent behavior, but rather the frustration gamers experience when they don't master the game. Andrew Przbylski of Oxford University, and Richard Ryan of the University of Rochester, concluded that much of the rage like behavior after playing PC / console games is not related to the actual game content.

Reinstall game: in steam = select game, right click on game, select bottom choice called "properties." Choose "local files" tab. Then select "verify integrity of game cache." This will fix the game. However, is steam_api.dl a dll for the game, or for running the steam client? If its for the steam client, then you will have to reinstall all of steam. I have never done this and I'm clueless about how to do it. May I suggest, before you do reinstall
I gave this a lot of thought and reflection before replying - as I know you are looking for accurate, quality feedback. Dislikes? (1) AI still plies up multiple armies rather than concentrating on creating a smaller number if more effective armies. Leads to a boring game of attrition. (2) Sovereigns still don't seem 'vital' to me - but rather mere caricatures. (3) Game play when you reach the stage where player has one or two strong armies, and its ju

We can edit the name of the star that's already been accepted? Good news. Would like to capitalize one letter. How do we submit for an edit? :)
Have you emptied your wastebasket? maybe old deleted version of steam_api.dll is still there. Perhaps the version you deleted has been modified by using steam, and the 'new; version you downloaded to replace it is not 'modififed' via use... hence steam as it exists on your PC doesn't 'like' the original version of steam_api.dll? Also, there must be a way to re-install, or 'verify the integrity' of the steam install?
