I also get the wonky dialog on insane. It shows the wrong message for a sec and then updates the dialog info. Lets hope the next patch addresses these bugs

I also had the issue. Reloading the last autosave solved it. But noone was near defeat in my game, so my guess is it has something to do with dialogue popping up at the wrong time, not the content of the dialogue

Gauntlet like your thinking. Would be a much better system, lets hope the devs read this as they are looking at redoing the whole economy of galciv 3 in crusade.

+1, would be great

I was watching my RAM last night. I have 8GB that is used for standby by windows etc.. Galciv 3 will use up all the free RAM and then start using swap. It never makes a dent in the amount of RAM used for standby. So it seems windows is not releasing the standby amount to galciv and that is causing my large swap usage. If this is linked to the general lag is another question. But it is possible. Will post some images later today of my RAM

Thanks for the replies. Might try some more RAM

I am trying out the insane map size, but running into alot of lag and regular frame rate drops. (Specs Core i7 6700k, SSD, R9 fury, 16GB RAM) I have 16GB of RAM and noticed that galciv 3 is only using around 6GB RAM, but it is using 10GB of swap. Surely it should use as much RAM is available before going to swap? I saw on the forums that 1.8 introduced some issues for insane map size, is that the lag I have been getting or have the 1.8 issues been fixed?

In the top right of the UI, the power tab that lists all major civs has a bug. When the list of major powers grows to the point where you need to scroll through them, the last power in the list is no longer clickable. So you can't use the list to get to the last powers diplomacy screen, which is annoying. This has been a problem since forever. Hoping this can get fixed as its adds way to many clicks to the game to circumvent.

I had the exact same issue. Trade route disappeared after they defied a up vote. Sent a freighter to the same planet and got the message, you are already have a trade route to this world.

I noticed my carriers are not leveling, could that be because they use fighter? I didn't really pay attention to my earlier combat vessels, but will test them out again. Edit: Tested it out and I was mistaken. Leveling seems fine

Did they change ship leveling? Only my surveyors are getting xp, nothing else.

In Yor tech tree, Research Matrix tech gives Discovery sphere along with research matrix. This seems wrong, as I cannot build a discovery sphere unless I take over a planet with a lower level Terran like research building. So it seems to have been incorrectly included in the Yor tech tree.

Just noticed that the ideology option, elevated, giving the elevation foundation says the elevation foundation generates 1 benevolent point every 5 turns, but the actual building tooltip says it generates one every 2 turns. So one of the two have a typo.

I love the game and have sunk too many hours into it. I am at a point where the AI is too predictable and exploitable for me due to my time investment. Is the AI still getting much attention and improvement? Is the upcoming expansion going to do anything major to the AI?

[quote who="Philocthetes" reply="12" id="3650948"] I don't have time yet to listen to audio. The word "diplomacy" isn't in this thread yet. Please tell me it is on Brad's devvy-do list. [/quote] I didn't hear anything regarding diplomacy, but Brad did say those mentioned are not all the features. They still not ready to talk in detail yet.

Cam across this interview on explorminate https://explorminate.net/2016/09/19/strategic-expanse-27-the-3rd-brad-wardell-interview/ Had some Galciv 3: Crusade info, thought Id share. - Might not be standalone, as aots standalone received some flak. Could be like mercenaries, require base game. - Major Economics Overall - Spys - In

Can we get a new dev stream. Will be nice to hear whats been going on and is in the works.

I think part of that was in 1.82, at least the ui stuff. But I would also love an update to the roadmap.

[quote who="mormegil" reply="10" id="3643885"] 1.81 is in testing and should be announced shortly. We are also now Developing Crusade in Tandem, but will be continue to patch the base game pretty regularly until it's release next year. [/quote] Thanks for the update. Is 1.81 the large empire ui or just an bug fix patch on the way to the new features?

Any idea when the next patch is expected?

Whats the plans for 1.9?

Thanks!

In 1.8 beta opt-in, researched military alliance, but the description describes culture alliance. It also seems to give me a culture boost when applied. See screen https://www.dropbox.com/s/x6m7rmv8aof7cbt/20160614205008_1.jpg?dl=0

I am loving 1.7 and want to make a suggestion regarding diplomacy for your future patches. I am playing on genius and have the problem that the AIs never finish each other off. Once an AI is pretty much defeated and most ships/orbital infrastructure is destroyed, they suddenly get tons of cash. Im guessing this is the bonus income they receive from the difficulty level and not spending it on any maintenance. At this point the AI wars are always ended, so I assume they use their boat l

I am playing on genius and have the problem that the AIs never finish each other off.

Im guessing this is the bonus income they receive from the difficulty level and not spending it on any maintenance. At this point the AI wars are always ended, so I assume they use their boat loads of cash to buy peace. The problem with this is that the AI empires never grow at the same pace
