Not very clear either. I found it my self in the end, it was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.” Hardly intuitive. The Lost Citizen button takes the player to the Summery Screen which in my game has 20+ Citzens on it, there is no lost section on that screen nor any indication what was lost or where it can be found or what should be done about it.

Need a little help. A faction surrendered and gave me all their planets. After several turns one of the planets previously given to me was captured by the AI, triggering a Lost Citizen which must be solved before i can start the next turn. Trouble is the game makes no attempt to explain what I am supposed to do, it just takes me to the Citizen Screen, where all Citizen options are found but not a single world about any lost citizen. So I am stuck, I am

Good idea.

Watching the AIs playing the Surrender Monkey game last night was interesting. Ended up declaring war on 4 other AIs to finish wiping out a few small ones in my 20 AI game.

In one game I was at work with over 50% of the AIs and being ship spammed like crazy when the peace resolution game up and I voted yes, it passed. None of the wars ended. If they had voted no, it should have ended for some of them. So I have seen this my self.

Bam: Steam Workshop is a massive improvement for mod users, there is no denying that but it also causes problems for mod users too and it is just not very modder friendly. We still cannot post our full mod docs for example, there is no way to warn the player of updates or tell them to check the docs. The first they know of update is when their game starts to crash or an unexpected feature pops up out of no where. Steam goes out of its way to deny modders a chance to w

Haaa so that is what happened. I saw a relatively weak AI take over a massive empire after the empire surrendered without warning.

I have already disabled steam sync for Galciv3, it just sits there waiting for ever for the sync in order to finish so I turned it off. Valve have lots of good ideas for their service, but their servers just cannot deliver the goods most days.

Yes the ship issue has been annoying me too, I had not noticed the tile issue though.

[quote who="Rhonin_the_wizard" reply="3" id="3552099"] pefully n [/quote] I know, I got moderated using the Skyrim one to talk about my own mods. Steam moderators considered it spam and explained it all to me when I asked why I had been moderated for talking about mods. Apparently its because they do not want modders talking about mods on a gaming forum. <a id="ctl00_ctl00__Content__Content__RepeaterReplies_ctl01__LinkUser" class="hand" title="Click u

Hello Stardock I know you have plans to support Steam Workshop but this 10 year Steam Veteran and 35 year veteran modder wishes to share some info with you that you may find interesting and useful. Btw the Veteran stuff is just so you can see I am a keen modder and a steam fan and not hater. Fact is, Steam workshop is not very good for real modders, it supports those who dabble a bit at modding but not real modders. Real modders have no way to tell Valve this because they do n

Illauna: ROTFL.. Competitive and destroying 8 year old nieces :) Anyway back on topic.... I used your tip and turned of FOW and found AI, despite its stats saying otherwise, had taken over a large portion of the map that I could not see. It's empire was larger than mine. So lots of ships could be explainable. However the range of the ships could not explained, there was no way it should have been able to even attack me but it still managed it. I would say t

Thanks Illauna for the advice, I'll do that. I am AI modder as well as other types of modding so that tip will be very useful. Also on the Twitch channel to night, I mentioned this and got some replies from others that have the same problem and feel the same way.

I see the same thing as a benevolent leader. Might have to try being evil and nasty and see if they all love me.

Well I just loaded my game and retired to see what the stats said and these are stats. Battles won 264 (mostly since the ship spamming started) Battles lost 22 Enemy ships destroyed 577 (mostly since the ship spamming started and mostly large ones) Approval 73% but that puts me in 8th place for Approval. Ships built 222 (this is me going flat out to build ships, usually large ones) Most credits 23,000 (1st) Also there is a clear spot in

Hello Stardock Brad: This is GiskardUK from Twitter, this is the full report. Excuse the title type... should have said Ship spammering, not spam spamming. I was told the AI for GalCiv does not cheat so I am making this report because it sure looks like its cheating to me. I have seen this in a few games since release now, 1 race usually suddenly starts spamming ships like crazy. It ends up with so many ships that the only way it could po

Huge is still pretty big and gives a long game. I prefer the one below that for a game that lasts about a day or two.

Had this my self before updating my Nvidia graphics card drivers. Still testing to see if it happens after updating them.

Altarian's do feel harder to play. Everything seems vastly more expensive when playing them, ships are weaker too and I could not get my military rating higher than 6th no matter how fast I built ships. I also found most ships could not be built for this race due to too few resources of one type of another. So I was left with no possibility of building decent ships. Which made it hard for me to compete. The game ended suddenly with a "You lost message", I have no idea who

I posted this on Twitter about this bug. @Stardock #galacticciv3 the main bug being the black screen as the Nvidia driver crashed out in planetary invasions about 50% of the time. And got this reply from Brad Wardell "@Giskarduk @Stardock we're all over that one."

The same is true for the Altarian ships, lots of duplicates. I suspect they are either not finished or are being held back for the final release.

I agree, I would like to see this too. I believe there was talk about adding more support for this sort of thing when Steam Workshop support is added. But you will need to get that confirmed. I do not recall where I read it.
