[quote who="pheonixstorm" reply="4" id="3698064"] Can you run more than 32 factions/civs using just those from stardock? Nothing downloaded or from steam. [/quote] I run 64, nothing downloaded or from steam. All Stardock most with just II-IV added to their names. With the exception of the Custom Faction I created and play as and made three copies of. 16GB RAM 4GB dedicated Graphics Card ICore 7
Which one does it do? Double or 10%?
Is it possible to make a minor change on the diplomacy screen with the Focus/Specialization Technologies, changing yellow stars to red for the ones you have already researched in that category? Right now I write them down as I research. It would be much easier if for example after I research one of the three techs in orbital specialization, that on the diplomacy window with another civ, the other two had a different color star if that civ has one of them. I dont like tr
If lawyers are involved it may be a good idea to stop talking publicly about it as I am sure their lawyers will be copying/sreengrabbing every response you make on this forum to use in court if it benefits them in some way you may not fully appropriate without legal counsel of your own.

[quote who="CreeMap" reply="288" id="3695593"] The main map can be used more effectively used/interactive. Why it necessary to have starbase assignment in separate screen - for me it will be more convinient to do it on the main map. So there are a tons of UI things that can be improved. The main goal to reduce amount of steps/screen switch to perform actions. [/quote] Well that sounds good, but I tend to binge play game
Thanks for the info about the update. Sounds like a good one. I like the idea of the procedural planet AI implementation, you should not forget about adding that into GalCiv IV. If you scrap the Dark Avatar DLC, could you at least have the Korath DLC? I'll pay for an extra faction, even if I can download thousands for free. I prefer my content from the game creators.
Yes, I build massive troop transports that have 50+ legions apiece late game.
I have read on the forum in many places complaints about synthetics being overpowered, or this or that civ having some advantage over another. Well here are my 2 cents. Good! There is no equality in Nature, and it will not be found in the galaxy either. Deal with it. Every race should not be equally balanced. Some should have better early game, others late, and some should be all around better at everything. While some races should, like minors not even measure as a speed bump. Of course the
There was talk of tying Tourism income to influence. Dont know if that has been done yet. Would be a good addition.
[quote who="DMF" reply="4" id="3695516"] Now, what about the poor AI? Does offering the (hopefully human) player placement give it an unfair advantage? The AIs will still get crappy spots. [/quote] That would seem to be easy coding for the AI, select the spot with the most adjacent tiles. I actually prefer mine to be by itself or with only one or two, as my preference is to build with other buildings being the center of my l
You could probably begin with the capital building of each colony as your starting town, which could be upgraded later.
Ok so I am apprx two hundred turns into a sandbox game on Crusade with 35 players on Godlike AI in a Ludicrous Galaxy. The Iconians just gave up in their war against another player and gave me what remains of their shattered empire because I treated them well. Well Surprise Surprise I see Cities! Now wouldn't they have had to have farms on one of their planets that were conquered at some point? Heck, maybe they delete their own farms after they get their cities built. W
If the ship design you are upgrading to is that class type that is what you will get. I often upgrade ships and also to change them to something else in their hull size and have never encountered this problem other than from an error on my part when creating or updating the design in the designer, that tends to default to support and you must cycle to the class you want prior to saving it.
The last couple games I've played they have not appeared. But in the ones they have, though they can cause some serious problems, scavenging their ships has helped me immensely.
I got into GalCiv3 after Crusade was out, I bought the bundle with all dlc, and have only played Crusade. Am I missing anything by not playing the base game?
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="265" id="3694526"] The next expansion will be next year which will focus on politics and empire building. [/quote] Can you give us some crumbs on what Empire building entails?
Most likely its effects were downgraded in a balance patch but the text wasn't updated.

As you start planning your next iteration I would like to suggest complicating the planet types by adding different atmospheres and mantels along with planet class. With the intention of alien civilizations being suitable for one type and not for others, terraforming aside, the goal would be the ability to live amicably in a given solar system with an alien race who posses no threat of colonization of your necessary planet biome. Such situations could make for natural alliances and neutraliti
You should not ever consider invading any planet unless you have 2x the number of legions.
To all who have served before me, served with me and served after me thank you so much <span class="_4a6n" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.2em; padding: 50px 30px; text-align: center;
[quote who="starhunter83" reply="87" id="3694786"] Alright, Brad, I've had it. I wanted to keep a low profile on here but I can't take it anymore. I work for a major gaming website, in fact the largest in terms of organic traffic. Because I love 4x games so much and because I know the potential this game had, I actually spent my entire work day today, the ENTIRE day, testing out 2.61. I have confirmed, beyond a doubt, that the AI races build zero farms. You are the one w
I've watched 1-4. I like thinking I would do this different and looking out for something perhaps I didn't know. [quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="3694674"] I actually do have more. I just have to edit it. [/quote] Don't edit, I'll watch the whole thing. Btw, when will you have a contest to select a lucky winner or two who get to play multiplayer against the dev team?
