[quote who="Taslios" reply="2" id="3677417"] No he's talking about "THE ARTIFACT" mega event. and to claim the Artifact... capture the PLANET that is closest to it. [/quote] ... Wait... You can use the artifact? I thought it only buffed the weakest empire in the game, and nothing else.

Hey modders -- I was wondering if any ship modder here know how the AI get those big invasion transports? As far as I can tell with the xml docs, the non- modded factions shipstyles are drawing from the same text as before for transports.

OK. I thought I had something solid, but it turns out I'm still having the same FPS issues with extended play. Feel like a memory leak, even the GalCiv 3 isn't using more than half of my RAM when I play my game.

[quote quoting="post"] Hey folks. Is there an easy way to transfer my custom factions to Crusade? Or do I have to recreate them all? Thanks [/quote] Do you mean in terms of transferring custom ship sets? I had to modify my xmls, but didn't have to do anything from scratch.

[quote who="FlashXAron" reply="87" id="3676102"] MERC dlc BROKEN Also the AI doesn't buy any merc since Crusade DLC __________________________________________________________ no pirates And pirates also don't show up in the game anymore, even the messages are coming onscreen, with the above settings.

Found one! Stellar Folding -- I have not unlocked it, and I'm around 15 turns into a game. Here. EDIT* Or, does this have something to do with the time traveler trait? Some of the descriptions aren't as descriptive as I would like.

Can anyone shed light on the xml side of ship designs? I've been asking this question like a pain in the ass for a while now, because I have two xml doc derived from the base game, modified to incorporate my own ship designs so that I could have a ships set listed in game, and have a more seamless experience with my custom faction. I would really like to know, for modding's sake. It has been a big part of my time with GalCiv 3.

Yes, check out the videos. Also, the community can be very helpful -- just say you're a new gamer and have some questions. The game as it currently stands is pretty easy to understand once you understand a few basic concepts and get your head around the initial info overload that every 4x pretty much has. Although the fundamentals are going to change with the release of Crusade soon. Exciting times -- I'll have to relearn the game pretty much over again :) </

I cannot pick any one feature that does it for me -- as whole piece of design, Crusade is taking GalCiv 3 to the next level in a way that I was not expecting.

The game as it currently stands turns into a player fueled snow ball, and decisions gradually have less and less consequence and therefore s
