Yeah most resources should be obtainable in more ways than just mining because you got lucky. It could be through missions, improvements, tech, trade, bazaar, wtv, but has to be more reliable than what it is now. I'd be all down for some 'important' improvements not costing a lot of special resources (build population or tier2 farms not costing too much if any special resources), but the fancy ones like epiphany (immediately research tech) cost more.

Promethion is also used a crap ton for citizen promotions... It's pretty ridiculous.

update; so the comp does attack my privateer, but my privateer is usually a beast so they just don't wanna. Great news about the spice and weapon updates, I look forward to 'em! Could you please also look at the ideology ones too? A couple more bugs i remembered; I will sometimes get the same colonization event for a component or building, but can only build 1 of them. Either I shouldn't get the same event or i should be able to build 2 of things. <

A few things I noticed in the 2.6 opt in preview; Technology capital consumes 1 or 2 arnor spice per turn once built. It's also listed as +1 arnor spice when you build as opposed to other buildings that say -1 to build. Right now its completely messed up and will eat all ur spice! In the tech tree for beam weapons; lots of the specializations descriptions still say "increase beam damage" when the tooltip icon correctly states and increase in range. Also in the tech tree is a s

Yeah I've seen this too. They disappear though so at least it doesn't stick around.

Thx for the response frogboy. I look forward to the new patch. Seafireliv, I KNOW RIGHT?!

So I've tried a bunch of things, and the incredibly long turns only occur when the ai's are at war (UP peace resolution sped my turns up and it was glorious). I reinstalled my OS and it did help quite a bit, but the game is still unplayable for me. I sit around doing nothing. It's driving me crazy because the base game did not have this problem.

Buck, I meet the system requirements. My comp was running the base game (last week) with no problems. Lucky, Thanks for the tip, mine are all up to date though.

Hey, I just got crusade and it's a great improvement from the base game, stardock did a great job making this game interesting! Unfortunately, the turns are freaking slow after a while. I usually play on small/medium maps, so it's 'only' a minute. It kills the pacing completely though and the game is unplayable after about an hour. This was never an issue for me with the base game, so something happened with the crusade update. I'm just posting for reassurance that this is get

I hope the tech tree button works to view research, because I've always found the UI pretty bad otherwise (in the default screen you have shown above). The list of techs is in a box all the way on the left, while the description is in another box that's tiny (and isn't big enough to show all the effects of the tech) all the way on the right. There's a funny robot not doing anything with all the free space in the middle. Looking forward to try all the new toys you've been working on

I was thinking about this too! Administrator requirement is a great idea, and it gives you a better option for actually using those special and unique components. Right now mass production of ships that require nothing special works too well, so a 'super' ship that can actually make use of all the funky stuff would be great. Kind of like a unique mercenary really.

Defense? What's that? I just mass missiles and destroy everything before they have a chance to return fire... I agree that defenses should get looked at, I've found it more effective to focus exclusively on missiles and ship size over any other weapon and defensive tech. Production is also never a problem so why does it matter when you do lose ships?

I think that would be a good idea as well; some sort of scale, button or whatever to alter the setting.

[quote who="Seilore" reply="4" id="3669319"] It's been that way for a while, unfortunately they are too busy on updates and changing the game drastically going forward to fix anything with the game as it is. Going forward though it appears anomalies will be handled differently post Crusade. [/quote] Ohhh really? Good because the anomaly event makes the game really easy and boring. the ai can't compete with anything i make because i reach far beyond the

When I use the benevolent ideology trait or the mercenary ship to flip planets, I can 'trap' the garrisoned fleets on top of the planet icon forever. This has no serious gameplay consequence, apart from the enemy losing control of the ships (it doesn't prevent me for garrisoning the planet). It is only slightly annoying really, when I click the planet to bring up the planet management screen I get the fleet screen instead. I do not think this happens when you culture flip

[quote who="Syrkres" reply="1" id="3653877"] THey might have attacked a Faction which had the ideology where if they attack the homeworld every faction declares war on them. [/quote] That must be it, nice find! [quote who="Mystikmind" reply="2" id="3653907"] Why would anyone want to know they are at war? Its not at all important, no popup needed. [/quote] From a gameplay perspective, it's annoying that I do not know what is occurring or why (fir

I just got the mercenaries exp, so I've only just noticed this 'bug' now. (Versus godlike AI) The Torians will sometimes inexplicably declare war on every major faction simultaneously. This happened even when they weren't the strongest, and when I had excellent relations with them. The buggy part was when there was no window or indication that we were at war (No 'die you vermin message'), I only noticed when they started blowing up my starbases. I assum

Hey thanks for the reply. I posted a couple of days before the patch came out. You did fix 1, and 2 was just weird luck i think. I can't help you with 3 (saves are gone), but it does help if i restart my comp a lot of the time. I'll try going for carriers again soon and will update if it crashes repeatedly again. Any info about fighter components? :P

Thanks for the reply, i look forward to seeing what you all came up with :P

I like a lot of these! I would add upgrading the way invasions work, that thing is pretty damn bland as it is. Oh man I agree on the starbases being weak as hell though. They really need a massive boost to hp and damage. Some of these Stardock won't do though; tactical control is probably one. I think raiding supplies or at least trade routes was in the works at one point. Don't know what happened to it though.

Are you guys still planning on updating the way invasions work? Thanks

Hey guys, so I'm a huge sucker for in game events so I got the lost treasure dlc and booted the game up recently ;P I've played a few games now, and thought I could share a few bugs I've found. 1. Ships with the same unique component can be built several times by just clicking the 'repeat' build button, while the ship icon on the left is grayed out and says only 1 can be built. If I cancel the repeat or I've upgraded the ship, I can still

To add to what Bertranhalfwaite was saying, I also find the AI complete junk even on godlike at managing planets but also at building a fleet worth fighting. Right now they start making medium hulls really early (I'm tempted to say within the first 10 turns - what?), but their late game ships are terrible and not challenging. The games aren't close, either they win very early (i play on small maps tehe), or i beat the crap out of them in the later game. I haven't r

Hey guys, I have been away from Galciv since a few weeks after release but recently had the time to boot it up again and play a few rounds and thought I would share my impressions (1.2) and ask questions. Please keep in mind that I play on medium maps with godlike ai. I like what was done to carriers; the ships they spawn no longer seem to be the most broken thing ever. I still hope that there are hardcaps on them though; I should not get free doomrays IMO. It might be cooler if they

Is it even possible to get the artifact? In my game I've destroyed the Yor but can't seem to claim it... You should be able to right???
