Good changes and loving the pretty planet textures!

Heh, I do enjoy nice farm clusteres. Definitely a nice build there.

Didn't realise trade ships don't produce a malus. Also, that's a pretty planet graphic, and I don't recognise that relic... And a fertile world? Damn, been a while since I played.

Does the visual pass include our planets lighting up with activity more? I miss having my planets with huge populations lighting up like a Christmas tree. Also, looking forward to seeing what you guys have cooked up with the upcoming dlc hinted at on the steam post!

I really like what I see so far. Are pop growth techs/improvements going to be more of a thing with the revamped tech tree, along side the new cargo ships? Currently with pop growth the way it is, they have a very limited value, because pops grow really fast as it is.

[quote who="goxwerd" reply="23" id="3713671"] Also for the life of me i cannot deal with the battleviewer since Crusade basically starting ships on top of eachother. The values you could change in the base game do not seem to change the viewer anymore so not only are the battles meh to view due to red balls but also the actual fights are just all ships start on top of eachother and shoot, weapon range means nothing. Now i know this is modable but the xml that used to affect that do

I've posted about this on the discord a while ago. I get around it by not building from default ship listings, and just equipping my ships manually. I prefer this, because the default designs pretty much never meet my needs based from the default blueprints.

I too would like a screenshot!

I would love to see them added too. I was looking forward to that dlc.

I don't know why they removed the original set and forget projects that would sit in que until you had an upgrade or new improvement to build.

I agree re. clicking missions and projects. Something I would ask the devs to consider is whether implementing a continuous project function causes the AI to get stuck in these que loops where they neglect building and improving their planets. This was a big problem at one point for the AI when Crusade was new. I remember seeing York worlds by ~ turn 200 having one or two planetary improvements on their home world, and and a repeating que of science projects.

Congrats! It's cool the see an influential streamer give the game some attention :) I really enjoy Quill's content.

I don't know if this is a missing string, or WAD where the tech tree text was overlooked before release of 3.0:</di

I wanted to do a follow up post with some more illustrated feedback. Here's a few more potential bugs and glitches I found: Duplicated special building (e.g. planetary computer, central bank, etc): This bug has been around for a while, as you can see in the picture below, I have constructed the special buildings but at some point in the game, I am able to build more. I have my suspi

Hey Stardock, Firstly, and hope this comes across as the as the complement I mean it to be, I just had an amazing time in my first game with the new expansion. All the new content gels so well with the rest of the game, making it feel so much more alive as you manage your empire. I am very pleased with the improvements to the AI, and I had a lot of fun exploring the new events and gove

This is a great little primer for a new player!

Hang on, is the formula for ship defenses changing in 2.8?

I've been looking forward to this. Looks fantastic from what I can tell so far. Two questions: Are we getting any new races/factions? Can we get a primer prior to release that helps modders migrate their content over?

[quote who="courtneyme109" reply="2" id="3698021"] Great article about visiting Stardock! 2017 really is a banner year for GCIII luceo non uro [/quote] Definitely, Crusade is up there with some of my top expansion packs. It really helped to give GalCiv 3 more of its own identity, pulling it a bit out of the shadow of GalCiv 2.

Thank you for the update! Looking forward to giving it a whirl.

I was one of those looking forward to more dlc, but I respect your decision. I wasn't aware about 2.7 until popping back on the forum here. Procedural planet building for the AI is going to be a massive improvement, thank you! Do you still think you will take a look at how the AI equips ships, Frogboy? Looking forward to 2.7 and more info on the expansion.

I'm giving the mod a try now. Will post up my observations when I'm deep into it!

Do you install this is a mod folder, or do you take the files and replace in the main directory for the game?

I would love to see some more world types in the game, especially for the tier that requires atmo cleansing tech, giving more reasons to colonise late game. This is the reason precursor worlds is my favorite dlc. The precursor planets makes the galactic geography much more interesting, and the variety in visuals is always good. It's one of the reasons I like Endless Space 2. They have a way of making planets look and feel unique. My initial ideas: Phase world: A
