Can we also have less experienced ships crashing into each other while dodging missiles? etc. etc. [/quote] i think this would be hilarious, but of course it would really piss me off when my ships collided. You bring up a great topic for discussion, namely how exactly will ship experience be implemented. In GC2 all experience did was increase hit points. No idea what Paul has planned or what will m

[quote who="crimsonsun_2000" reply="13" id="3516867"] loving the look and concept of the battles, my only negative comment was perhaps they were too short .... when those Titans were letting rip on the cutters but in he fights between smaller ships and thus bigger ones I would have expected multiple volleys being unleashed in order to destroy the target.

[quote who="Empress_Fujiko" reply="14" id="3516868"] Thinking about it, I'm a little confused. Are the battles completely deterministic or is there a random element to it? In the stream Paul mentioned that in one case the outcome could have been different with just one missile missing. On the other hand, what I've read about the battle system indicated to me that the battles are deterministic. [/quote] I am sure i don't have this completely right b

Great observations, few comments... [quote]Overall, I think the game is too easy.

[quote who="Vithar133" reply="1" id="3516743"] Either that, or have one list that displays non-stationed units, and another that shows up when a city is selected that displays garrisoned units in the city. [/quote] You probably already know this, but win you select a city the garrisoned units are shown in the city panel. A drop down tree (like the crafting tree) would also work.

[/quote] We have known that from day one, GC3 never meant to be a tactical war game. It is strategic in nature where to need to plan out ship design and fleet make up as a function of enemy strength/weakness. I like tactical battle games but also enjoy good strategic ones. proper

Reply to First Impressions in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

At firs i really hated the use of ages as i continually bumped into road block in my games. However the more i played the i warmed up to the concept. It forces a wide as tall thought process. You can still 'kinda' rush a tech (like p invasion) by concentrating your research on the first & second level technologies (cheapest). This will not be the smartest wide tech base but it will minimize the turns to the tech your bee-lining to. ... at least for no

Battle viewer, first look OMG! in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

With the first “crude look” at the Battle viewer, all I can say is WOW you guys rock! I can hardly wait to play with it. Battle tactics and ship design looks to be a really big part of GC3. In GC2 I could build a bad ass ship without too much regard of what I would be going against and really had no problem (or fun) with battles. I know SD been saying how great the new system will be, and it looks like they will deliver. Will we

Thanks for the answer Seilore . It would be a nice feature but I'm OK either way. It looks like GC3 is well on its way to being another great game.

Allow Reordering of armies in the panel. in Founders Innovation SorcererKing Forums

Being able to click on an army icon in the status / summary panel (? Panel On the right in strategic map) is a nice and a convenient way to quickly move between your armies of interest. The problem is that by mid game you have amassed a lot of units that remain stationed (like administrators) in a city, all showing up in the list as a single unit in the order they were created/gifted. Most of these just become useless place holders taking up a lot of spa

Susgestion: identify strategic vs tactical spells in Founders Innovation SorcererKing Forums

by mid game you have learned many spells, trying to remember which ones are strategic vs tactical is very hard. Once your mana reserves are up and you want to cast a couple of cool buffs on an army it would be great if you could quickly identify or sort the strategic spells from all the rest.

Bugs (you may already know them, but just in case) 1) When the select a new spell screen popped up, 2 spells showed zero turns to learn. I selected one of these and I instantly learned it, bringing me right back to the choose a new spell screen. Repeated on the second “zero to learn “ spell. This time the choose a new spell screen did not come up. After that, I could no longer learn new spells. The small green circle that shows turns remaining to le

1) Played several games on higher difficulty (above normal), it takes a while to build up your base and army before you ca begin much in the way of expanding (new settlements). By the time you’re ready, the SK has already settled and corrupted most if not all available sites. I am totally ok with this, what I do not like is that only one of the sovereigns can learn the ‘cleans shadow land’ spell. This makes it almost impossible for any

I think you should make the shard growth more in line the the average map size growth. not 1 to 1 but something better than shown like maybe 1 to 0.5 e.g. if the map size goes up 100% shards would go up by 50%. Curently: tiny-small map growth is ~50% while shard growth is only 6% and Large-huge shard growth is ~zero. While you don't mention it, the number of settlement locations should also be increasing.
