Gifted AI has a lot of buff. Check it in wiki, you would be surprise how much they got.
AI seem to have more starting funds compare to player. They shelling out 4 colony ship fast and it cost 875bc each in my game so it is not possible to buy those with 2,500 starting funds. AI always cheat to get some advantage even on normal but it isn't that much. It is just for spice thing up since human brain still overpower them. I don't mind them expand like rabbit. More planet for me to invade.
Deep Core Mine is social construction. It is not buildable in your homeworld. All, social, and ship construction now separate entity.

Half of those look like nuggets whom gank me in low-sec! Cursed!

I never notice this with GC3 but Crusade seem to let me hotload any change i made on the fly now. I fiddled around with XML while the game was running then i hit start game and it load all change i made on the fly without need to restart the game. If it is a new thing for Crusade then that is quite nice QOL for modder.
Factory boost "All Production" while Deep Core Mine only boost "Social Production". They are difference.
Deep Core Mine. It is not buildable in your Homeworld planet.
All of old traits still there but their bonus changed so those custom races still benefit from it. They don't get to enjoy the new one obviously, unless you edit them to have it. The game itself seem to have fail-safe mechanic, if custom race missing something or has an unknown, it will be force to use default settings instead. I accidentally deleted my custom fleet design and the game kicked it back to use default Arcean instead. Old XML mod probably not going
All the old data still in GC3 folder so i isn't gone but it just doesn't load in Crusade version anymore because Crusade using GC3Crusade folder. If you roll the game version back then it possible that it will work again.
Having this duplicated Civ traits too.
Oh. so the citizen portrait is modable too? Dang, i need to draw more or find suitable portrait for my custom race then, else it would look weird.
[quote who="krbjms" reply="3" id="3675302"] Don't know, still works for me. [/quote] I'll try again in next game. Already knee-deep in the current one. It doesn't show up after i researched the requisition tech, i am using Iconia tech tree. [quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="4" id="3675306"] I would say if the ai isnt using it that probably mean you need to fix the strat file. [/quote] Maybe i'll just combine the dead world colonization line in
Using Eve Online character as custom race, that is genius. They are already high quality 3D after all. One of Aurelians ship look like Dominator cruiser with Nova cannon from 40k.
[quote who="krbjms" reply="1" id="3675172"] Have you tried the mod " Dead Planet Colonization Module" off of Nexus. I use it some. The only problem is that it can quickly over balance the game to your favor once you get the tech. Once you research the tech you can build a ship with that module (only one) and a colony mod added to it. You can get it at http://www.nexusmods.com/galacticcivilizations
I been getting annoyed by galaxy load of dead planet that is uncolonizable. I wish all of planet is colonizable but most will either be super low class (below 6) or extreme planet that require tech to stabilize it. Although this would make one mercenary that can turn dead planet into class 16 useless but it is just a small part. I do try with in-game option that increase the amount of habitable planet but still, most of galaxy will fill with dead planet anyway. Where should i look into XML to
[quote who="Franco fx" reply="6" id="3673861"] A year or so (maybe nearly 2 years) a number of us weighed in on the sensor issue. Those who wanted them nerfed won the day and I consider the issue settled. All I want is the ability to mod the sensors the way I want them. I don't do multiplayer so how I play should matter to nobody. Anyway it is fixed as of now, and it should last until the next update.

Gauntlet, it is seem Endless Space 2 is going with what you were thinking. Resources per turn while each deposit generate difference amount of resource range from 1 to 5 from what i seen.
[quote who="trims2u" reply="19" id="3652222"] RTS have never adopted that model, and use the "bank" approach where you get and spend in discrete chunks. 4X games essentially have modeled something similar, though GC3's is a bit unusual in that it requires a fixed amount of a resource to always be available when you build something that requires it. [/quote] You either never play RTS or on drunk because every RTS use this "bank" system you are refer to.
[quote who="mortili" reply="14" id="3652083"] I also use the auto-upgrade extensively, with around 14~ Starbases per Planet. you just have to use a 5-Module-Constructor, build Starbase click the 4 Modules and forget, everything else happens automagically^^ [/quote] Yeah, when you capable to stuff your constructor with 3 or more modules then this system wasn't that bad taste but it still not good enough on the early-mid game.</p
[quote who="Mystikmind" reply="12" id="3652039"] Quoting FreedomFighterEx, reply 11 Take note that this also happen in Civilization 5. You could build a tank (it require 1 oil) and gift it to an AI that doesn't even research a tank or has any tech that let them know what the heck is oil yet. They will get your tank but
Which is why i want the ZOC to be able to flip starbase like in GC2.
