Thanks for the info. Where did you find this out ? Shame that does not display it.

Was going to use core detonation, but system said I did not have enough funds. But did not say how much was needed, is there a way to see the funds required ? I had 1145 credits, so was surprised it was saying that anyway. Many thanks for any help.

Yes I do see ministers, I think the 40% chip construction is made up of the Grand duke & Crisis manager. That's probably what the (2) refers to (two ministers?) Still don't know why the change government screen now show's a different value for stellar monarchy, ie 20% ship construction not 40% Do you keep the ships (princess & prince) if you were to change the Government ? Thanks for your reply.

On the Manage Governments and commonwealth screen, if you highlight Stellar monarchy its says Ship construction +40%. But when I changed my Government to Stellar monarchy, it now says Ship construction +20% on that same screen. However when you look at ship construction at the planet level it says Stellar monarchy (2) 40% I am confused! any help appreciated.

On the colonies tab on the Govern civilization screen , would be great if you could jump to the planet that is currently highlighted straight to it on the map (or maybe you can and I don't know how to?). Also would be very helpful if as well as social construction there was a ship construction column. As there is not a easy way to find what planets have the best ship construction values. But many thanks for a great game.

Yes thanks , that happened to me during this game!

Great. Thanks for your quick reply.

Think I was pretty clear SdRodan, that I cannot say if it is only gigantic map sizes, because it has not yet happened to my large map. But that is not to say it won't, maybe when I play enough turns it might.

Hi, It started OK in gigantic map size but gradually got slower. When I got to around 150 turns it was very slow to load and save. So far I am into 100 turns on huge map size and it's OK. Yes page size is set to auto.

As in my previous thread 'Long loading and saving times', I have had similar issues. But you have had more luck, getting response from developers (pshaw). I don't think it's to do with your machine specs, as mine meets the requirements. I have disabled auto-save, and are playing on huge map in stead of gigantic, in the hope the problem does not resurface. But worried that after playing many turns, the problem will come back. The issue needs fixing.

As my previous thread 'Long loading and saving times' , I have had similar is

As in my previous thread 'Long loading and saving times' , I have had similar

To Developers Would any developer be able to answer my fair question as to why my games take so long to save and load, when my system meets the requested requirements ? I am not meaning just a few minutes, but 10 minutes or more! Many thanks.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your similar experience, suggesting that it is not a memory issue. But was hoping that someone from the Stardock would address my issue ? As currently I cannot play the game on Gigantic size, even though I meet the system requirements. Appreciate any help. (especially from Stardock!)

I am playing on Gigantic map with 12 players. Game recommends 4 cores and 16GB. My system has 6 cores(i5-8400 2.8) with 16GB memory. No problem playing the turns, but saving and loading takes a long time (10 minutes or more!) Why is this, do I need to buy more memory ? Many thanks for any help.

Sorry still a bit confused, have a cavern tile which says +3 all construction, + 1 wealth But manual say's +3 military, + 1 wealth. Which one is it ? expected cavern to be a military improvement Thanks for any help

Thanks for all your replies. Shame colours not changed to match tile. Many thanks.

Hi, I have an ancient ruins tile (purple icon), that say's I can have +3 research or +1 wealth adjacent. But I thought ancient ruins tile would give me tourism bonus and research as an adjacent bonus ? So do I have to put a tourism tile or research tile to get the research bonus ? Bit confused ! Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your helpful quick reply.

I placed a Bank on a Cavern tile, (gives +3 to construction(military), or +1 wealth) But I cannot see where that +1 wealth is shown. For testing purposes I placed the Bank on another tile with no wealth bonuses, but the overall wealth value was the same as when placed on cavern tile. So my question is where is that +1 wealth bonus shown ? Many thanks for any help.

Hi, Why does the availability of construction items vary from planet to planet ? For example I could build farms on one planet, but not on Earth Sorry if basic question! Thanks for help.

Hi, Sorry for beginner question, but is it possible to set tax rate for individual planets ? I can only see how to do it for all planets. Many thanks for your help.

Since found out that my Dell machine is know for having a noisy fan when playing demanding games. Maybe it's something I will have to live with, playing games such as Gal Civ 3.

Thanks for your replies. I do not hear a 'coil' noise, but I can hear the fans. Just surprised that it is as loud as it is, for example it is louder than when I play Skyrim. Wondered why this would be, when Gal Civ 3 is not a graphic intensive game ?
