The question from Syrkres is still unanswered.... Will our Factions port over to Crusade? I have 80+ homebrew factions and hope they will at least transfer... I have almost a 1000 hours playing GCIII but have not played in the last three months eagerly awaiting Crusade. I cannot wait for it to come out! I just really hope I do not need to spend another 1000 hours redoing all of my factions.
I agree as well. I have about 92 of my own created factions and have had to look through all to make sure I did not have the same logo.
Not without a cheat or up to huge hulls or so.... It is something I have wanted from day one as well. I just kept one save game from a finished campaign to load up for using the designer. I really hope they add this to the main menu when Crusade comes out.
When will Crusades come out? I have seen enough previews already that I cannot wait for it and "vanilla" GCIII just won't be the same anymore. An update on release would be wonderful. It is spring... somewhere... I think... [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
As Larsonex pointed out, will we be able to create our own citizens and a list of names for them? I wonder about our own created races. I have 50+ I have created and would like to be able to create for them as well.
Thank you!!! Found it and good to go!
I have been wanting that since the game came out. I hate that I have to make sure a game is far enough for all hull sizes to be able to make new ships.
I can go into the settings tab and it is still clicked to show all forms. I have started many new games to see if it would work and it still does not. I have no idea what is going on. It worked like is was supposed to on my old laptop.
I use Notepad ++. Simple and easy to use.
...I have clicked that box. Restarted the program and started new games... And still only shows the parts for the used faction ship parts.
It runs awesome! I am playing on insane with 73 factions and it is screaming along! I could not be happier....
Any help would be appreciated.
I have recently upgraded computers and have reloaded the game with Steam on there. I am trying to play with the ship designer but am having problems for it to show ALL ship design parts. On my old laptop I would see all parts from all races but now it only shows me the current race I have. I have selected in settings to show all parts. I have started new games and restarted the game itself but still no other parts. What am I doing wrong???
With my new rig will I be able to run up to 100 factions? I think that would be so cool. Most I run now is about 20 on a gigantic map and late game is slow...
Thank you both for the info. I just upgraded it to the 256g M.2 SSD
So, the only real advantage is the load times? I guess I am glad I did not get a bigger SSD. Load times do not bother me, the actual gameplay is what I want to be better. Thanks for the info.
I just purchased a new laptop that has a 180g SSD hard drive and a standard 1tb SATA drive. Is there a real difference playing this game on the SSD? Curious if you techies can let me know. I am going from a laptop with an i7 5500 quad core, 12g ram and on board 5500 video to an i7700 quad core, 32g ram and a GTX1060 with 6g of mem... I am hoping the game will scream on the new rig.
Holy cow!!! The game turns are blindingly faster! So far, so good!
If you go to Global defs you can change the default pop for colony ships. I change mine to 1.... .5 2.5 1.0
[quote who="ForesterSOF" reply="1" id="3657664"] I am using an Alien also. Intel i7 3610QM at 2.3 RAM is 16 Video is Radeon HD 7970M I run Insane fine. Wish I had your rig. [/quote] I just pruchased it last night. I have never had a good laptop. Am hoping it will perform nicely.
I am hoping some of you computer gurus on here can give me a little feedback. I currently have am running an i7 5500 with 12g of ram and an integrated HD graphics 5500 card. I can play on gigantic maps with 20 AI racds but after turn 100+ the lag is quite noticeable. Also, I have graphics for game set to low. I just ordered a new laptop with the following specs, a 4K screen resolution and... <small
I have a slight problem which I hope a few people here may help me with. I creeate a lot of races and am now on to Star Wars races and have quite a few now but I need logos.... I have the general ones, i.e. Republic, Empire, Sith etc... I am hoping someone may be able to make believable logos for different factions I have created. Quarren, Rodian, Cathar, Sullustan, Miraluka...???? Anyone up for it?
So, I have never played any scenarios until last night and am wondering... Am I assuming correctly that you cannot use mods in the scenarios?
[quote who="Horemvore" reply="204" id="3646536"] You missed a folder to extract. You are missing the new gradient files and Design's. Folder name - For your Game Directory It contains 2 folders(Designs & Gfx) you need to place in your Game folder: ...Steam/steamapps/common/Galactic Civilizations 3 (Or where ever you installed the game) and overwrite when prompted. [/quote] Thank you! Color palette correct n
I started my first game with the mod and the colors seem off. The asteroids are white along with most other things.... What did I miss? Also, three of my own factions now come up as "unable to validate" ... "unknown appearance" when the game loads???
