Reply to [2.5 BUG *Game-breaking*] Cannot Invade. No Genocide Ships in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Chibiabos" reply="7" id="3689814"] I'm not getting that error message now (noticed there was a small update), but launching troop transports in the next campaign series starting with Arcea, its showing no troop force when attempting to invade, even though I did fill the transport to the brim when launching (again, these Crusade-prequel campaigns were before the garrison mechanic; the troops draw directly from the population of planets near where they launch instead of a globa

[quote who="DMF" reply="2" id="3689282"] So when do my new planets get Zones of Control? I can't build a mine on an adjacent asteroid (yet). [/quote] The rate the ZOC (zone of control) grows can be sped with influence improvements, techs, and culture starbases.

[quote quoting="post"] OK, I've been on vacation away from a computer for 8 months now. Whee! Now, I'm back, and of course GC3 is completely different than when I left it in Dec 2016. I'm just restarting my learning curve of figuring out all the stuff, and that includes the completely different way the empire management has been redone. I'll use this thread for some help on different issues, if you please. [e digicons]:)[/e] I'm a founder, so I'm p

Reply to Galactic Civilization III "Classic" Edition in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="VoodooV" reply="14" id="3689149"] Yep something was wrong. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled, but instead of constantly validating files, It kept saying I needing an update. I updated, it wanted another update, I kept updating, but it never stopped. I restarted steam and validated files as you suggested, but it still had the same issue. I then uninstalled the game and went into the steamapps folder and saw that som

Interestingly, some of the 2.5 features (like the Tech selection screen) are still present in 2.3.3 after the revert. [/quote] If it was less than a minute, then it didn't completely update. I would suggest restarting steam and possibly verifying files. <

[quote who="yslslsl" reply="1" id="3689094"] Totally agree. Before, switch on govenor of choice, be done with the planet upgrading crap. Now it's pain in the ass. But good to know that everyone is "so excited" about this tremenous update. Futhermore, I cannot invade other planets any more: error message: cannot invade no genocide ships I can't find any documentation on this with google or in any forum.
