Question for players, why do you play GCIII? It is an innocuous question and I shall elaborate. I was playing the other day and thought about my actual game play. I have over 1000 hours playing the game and have only finished maybe 3 games to the end. Don't take this as a slight to the game but I get a lot of enjoyment over other aspects of the game besides the actual game

Your number two statement is somewhat mute. You already can add as many new names or a completely new bank of names to citizens if you edit the Civ....
I had been waiting eagerly for Crusade to come out. While I am quite proficient making Civ's and messing with the XML files I am not very good with making ships, even though it is fun as heck... As the thread title suggests where are all of the ship sets? I really thought that when Crusade hit many of the creative designers would have been hovering their fingers over the send button. On Steam I see about 14 versions off Terran Shipset and just crap after that...
I already was using custom ships in the Crusade folder for my home made civ... A bigger problem is that I did not mess with Drengin at all. Not sure why that core race is affected. I did not delete any ships from game files.
I get a custom race I created and Drengin race that when I fire up GCIII Crusade it says they are invalid in ships sets and will be set to default. Weird thing is that I have never messed with Drengin. I have used the validate game function but it is still doing this. Any ideas?
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="3" id="3676305"] My 4k is 28". That means I'm slightly less on a piedestal than Frogboy. Also, imho, 28" is too small for 4k. [/quote] I guess I am bad. I only have a 17" 4k screen... On my laptop. Oh well, someday I will be cool! Ha

You hav e to go to the Crusade folder to edit its Global Defs... as in this... C:\Users\Ed49663\Documents\my games\GC3Crusade I had to ask earlier as well. :)
Thank you!!! Found them. Much appreciated.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="3" id="3675721"] Gameplay. It isn't related to Crusade one way or the other. With the changes to Crusade, I can probably make the map bigger. That said, it's pretty disheartening seeing Crusade at 41% because people think Crusade is changing map sizes. [e digicons]:([/e] http://store.steampowered.com/app/527070/Galactic
Does Crusade use a different Global Def XML? I tweak a few things in it and I do NOT see changes to factions. For example, I have created an over powered race for testing in my game, i.e. 40 pts of abilities and 5 traits but will when playing around in Crusade with it I am not able to save as it tells me I have too many points allotted. I have checked the GCIII Global Def and it has not been overwritten... Where can I find the "new" global def, if there is
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
