DMF, The only reason that a custom design won't be available is if it required a component that you haven't unlocked yet. Or am I misunderstanding?

I'll look into it. More likely than not, we need to work on the feedback (which admittedly could be better for influence)

We've discussed allowing you to toggle between the two as well as allowing you to set your own start date.

Just curious, how did you get all of that data from the xml and into tables?

hmmm...ok I'll have an engineer look into it. Do you have a save game?

That's odd....we'll take a look

Some alien species don't have the physiology for vowels. We have ships designed to cater to them. +15% is a pretty healthy bonus -- more than a citizen (+10%). Also, the +% bonuses stack with each other which can lead to some crazy bonuses, esp. late game.

Double resources is rare, but possible in the current system.

Hello, We have prepared a preview of our next big update that includes bonus starting citizens, more trade, better balance, and tweaks to make evil more, well evil . Summary Evil is better (and good is dumb): Many of the colonization events a

Lycan371, I'll look into this

[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

Thanks for the report.

Chibiabos, Did you build that transport ship or was it awarded to you? It currently has no population.

[quote who="Ermac2" reply="25" id="3689628"] When I try to edit full XML from the Civ. builder, it opens the XML file in IE, which will not allow me to edit anything! How do I change this? [/quote] You need to change what app opens XML by default. Find an xml file right click choose open with choose another app choose notepad (or whatever) click the "always open with this app" box

Er[quote quoting="post"] Occasionally, upon startup, I get this error message: "The ship style (name) has failed to validate for the following reasons and will not be available: +Unknown Ship Class I also get an error that says that my custom faction can't use this ship style because it is an unknown ship style!

[quote who="sekirbyj" reply="2" id="3689492"] Just figured it out. I had the wrong file. Safe space faring everyone. [/quote] Glad you figured it out.

Funny, I added that to the 2.6 list last week :)

Thanks for the reports. I'll forward them to team.

Did you happen to receive transports through unlocking an ideology trait? If so, we have a fix coming for that soon.

Thanks for the report. We've seen this happen a couple of times but don't have a repro yet. We're still poking at it.

Cool idea.

[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.
