Something like that would improve the game. When I think about starting GalCiv3 game I first remember interspecies politics, great fleets and grand strategy... And then I remember starbase management. And this "ask for constructor" button doesn't help cause it builds big fancy constructor with latest engines and life support when in 99% I want to get cheapest crap ship. It gets there 2 turns later but it'll take 2 turns fewer to build!

Can't imagine anything better than GalCiv2 system instead of planet wheel. Just select the focus for the planet, get bonus to it and debuffs to other aspects. Should help governors and AI too. It would even make sense if you can only unlock this focus later with research. Cause unlocking planetary wheel makes zero sense. You already have this wheel for the empire!++

I find it very strange this request is still not fulfilled. Seems like a very minor and easy to implement thing which prevents power-gamers from playing the game.

...So what's another game with 8/10 in AI? Anyway, we're all sane people and understand you won't spend thousands of workhours so that 100 people in the world could get their fight with AI on highest possible difficulty with minimal handicap. All I want is no easy exploits. Sane diplomacy and geopolitics. Good appraisal of situations. All this basis that makes AI adequate. What I really hate is a situation where AI handicap doesn't matter cause you can b

It all become better after I've turned off my antivirus. Makes me thing that the problem is not a specific bug but a performance problem on some systems in some specific narrow place. Probably loading of icons/models when you zoom out.

I don't care much about fancy cinematics in battles. I, however, would like to see this end battle statistics. Currently I have to click full battle, wait for battle screen to load, click ESC button. Can we cut off the middle man and have an option (maybe checkbox in pre-battle screen?) "Show battle statistics" after Quick battle?

> The most easily reproducible situation is when zooming in/out Indeed, the screenshot I've posted earlier captures the moment of changing to icons - you can see cause planet names are fading. > but the game is installed on a disk drive Perhaps it reads something from swap file? Still it's strange cause we all have 8+ Gb of RAM and I have 1.5+ of free Gb of RAM when it happens. I agree that the game is pl

So my theory about it being a problem is not standing. Your GPU probably has 4096 MB (2048 MB per GPU) GDDR5 VRAM so it shouldn't be a problem too. You also have SSD so it's not HDD either. Strange.

Also here's how the game looks when it freezes - note the missing left side of the map. While it happens I can move mouse, Alt+Tab or take a screenshot so the system itself is OK. Here's screen of CPU and RAM usage taken a the same moment as previous screen . The freeze itself happens after last I/O spike. As far as I can tell it's at the moment of lower CPU usage and just before

Normal sized map. I don't see stutters when it's autosaving, but indeed it looks like there's some sort of HDD access problem, especially with laptops having slow HDD. It's always happens when I first load a game and zoom out (but it happens later too, when I scroll usually). I've measured system performance with Process Explorer at that time and it shows no spike in HDD usage. RAM usage is consistent too. Game eats 1.7 Gb RAM, physical memory usage is 6.6

While playing the game even on Normal map with 5 civs I often get freezes for several seconds. It usually happens when I scroll map and screen freezes so I can see empty space in place where I scroll too even though there are supposed to be planets or ships there. Then it goes away and the game continues as normal. AI turn calculations are fast, FPS are high, I just have this issue every several minutes.
