Reply to Now in Early Access - Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova Edition in GalCiv News GalCiv4 Forums

GC4 on Steam ? This is wonderful news. But I came here because I received Stardock's newsletter right now, "Sun, 30 Apr at 13:08", informing me only now of this Steam release, and what it is (versus Epic release)... And for a couple of days now on the Steam discussion page/community hub, it was mayhem, as very few understood the moves, the costs, the contents, and the devs scrambled for trying to answer questions and concerns (why the devs? The poor guy can not be also

Reply to Galactic Civilizations IV v1.1 update brings several quality of life updates in GalCiv News GalCiv4 Forums

(sigh...) When reading " Experience Quality of Life Improvements ", I hoped to see the update allowing another seller, i.e. Steam, as Epic is a no-no for me... Well, I will wait then a bit more. After all, the game will become better and better patch after patch, DLCs after DLCs, and a day I will buy the full version and go beyond the hours I enjoyed on GC3... (1617.7h...)

I join others. I don't want another launcher. And nothing Epic. [quote who="Blackguard6" reply="4" id="3849739"] I would buy direct from you or on Steam for an additional fee to avoid Epic.

BUG (v4.2): Saved Games INCLUDED - Trade with Route Length = 1, when it should be hundreds... in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock.net Forums

I hope my broken English is understandable... Problem : The trading system does not calculate correctly a Route Length, and VERY long routes are totally ignored. I do not know if this issue existed before 4.2, as I was waiting for 4.2 for playing the game on the maximum map size, with my new PC. Settings : Game on Ludicrous size (largest possible), Godlike, 87 starting civs i.e. all game civs + Nexus' designs. Map is the one generated by the g

I understand this business plan, as, perhaps, Stardock does not need this pre-funding, and prefers to monetize the "lifetime comfort" at a later stage of the releases.

Don't forget also to implement a (much) better pace in the game, proportional to - the starting criteria (slow pace + slow research) - size of map - number and especially type of factions - the difficulty Like in my Sid Meier's games, I like to play marathon games, and having everything paced accordingly, and coordinated, so then, when you cross the map starting with a legionary, you don't arrive to your

[BUG]-v4.1-Turn never ending in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

It is not the 1st time I have this issue, and it happened also, from time to time, in v 4.0 and cannot recall this issue in other versions. Currently a GC3 Steam play time of 1344.8 hours, and 80% of my very few issues have been during the end turn phase. In this case, after 50 hours in a new 4.1 game, turn 162, the game is stuck when processing the move of the last (customized) faction - The Angelic Host - I have for 6 years now, with 0 trouble with it up till now.

Reply to saved games, help please in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

Bad news I am afraid... It is exactly the reason why I do not use the "cloud" for saving my games. Especially via Steam... The local saved games are in your computer, and probably in something like :"(the drive where My documents is active):\Users\(your user name)\Documents\My Games\GC3Crusade\Saves". The cloud games are totally distinct from your local version, and are activated when you start a game - the game checks then what is the list of games save

It is a difficult question, as I know the answer ... but not the results ! Answer is yes, you can. It is just a matter of selecting/deselecting which add-on you want. Like above, you need to go to the properties: From there, go to the DLC tab: <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/36/26/3626360/49f5746e-f203-44a0-9fd4-6

Ooops. I am not flowing with the river here, as I play without adding more leaders, just the starting one and any coming my way during a game. Leaders, with celebrities (I play synthetic civ, zero need for morale/food), are the 2 types of citizen I never ever train ! Leaders are useful only on long games, many planets (+10?), you don't specialize your planets, and if you have the combination [many planets] + [long long game expected].

Do you talk about the fact that a research, available for a type of civ and unavailable to a non-carbon life (ex.: synthetics) is proposed over and over again ?

I mostly play a synthetic customized civ. And I can confirm that this issue still exists (images are extracted this morning from my current game): If I was pla
