[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="1" id="3698025"] So are you looking to have three separate branches, one for each of the specializations? If you get rid of the specializations and split them into three distinct branches, you might be able to use preclusions to prevent you from researching two of the three once you chosen one. [/quote] Yes, that's what I want to achive. I will just have to try it, I think. Doing something like this, changing that:

Is it possible to base a tech on the choice of a specialization tech (those with the "stars" where you have to choose one of three), so that by choosing one you may shut out an entire tech branch?

Spies on buildings are supposed to shut that building down until removed by sacrificing one of your own spies. I seldom had enemy spies on my planets, but when I had they worked. If you have own spies available then you can click on a building with an enemy spy and should get the option to remove them. Otherwise "unoccupied" spies (that are not placed on planets or are set to spy on enemy factions) should work as counter spies, supposedly reducing the chance that enemies steal

I tried it, unfortunately to no avail ... :(

Ok, will try, thanks.

Is there a possibility to create a prerequisite (e. g. for building an improvement) that depends on another improvement being already built? I find a line in the PrerequisiteDefs.xsd, but can't find an example of its usage anywhere.

I didn't try to modify PlanetTraitDefs.xml yet, but I looked into it: seems to add up to 200 in the file for all definitions, perhaps that number has to be preserved if you add more definitions?

Also.

I play only insane. That means loading the game or a save needs minutes, what is perfectly ok for me. But saving is still just seconds (perhaps 15 or so). So constant autosave is still possible :)

[quote who="VladelMC" reply="132" id="3696785"] I just came back to the game recently for one last run and it doesn't work. Most of the time it crashes when you save or won't even load a game. I'm gonna reinstall but i think if things don't improve then i am definately finished which is a shame because at 822 hours it's the most ive ever played a game through steam. Ok edited to add, it's still just as bad. Takes 2 mins to load and then it got stuck on autosave and this is onl

That's just the statement of dedication I spoke about in yesterday's post :)

I fear that a lot of people misunderstood Frogboy's statements and think Galciv III is dead as a whole. Since then I see diminishing forum activity as if a lot of people lost interest in the game. Perhaps Stardock should issue an official post stating that Crusade will be further developed.

[quote quoting="post"] So, I haven't played all that much, but the last game, I noticed that whenever I went to put a mining base near a strategic resource, the AI had already claimed it, and it was being sent quite far away to their mining base, even though mine was closer, and it was within my borders. Now, in my new game, I put down my first mining base, and it is 4 or 5 hexes away from a resource, and it is not being mined. How can you tell how far away your station

As far as I understood what was written Frogboy only wants to stop development of the base game, but not of Crusade. I hope I didn't misunderstand though ...

Workaround: activate console commands and use the "turn" command ( look here ). Don't know whether there will be other consequences from this bug that may sour further playing, but it may be worth a try.

I assume the map generation algorithm has a lot of randomness built in. I also have had widely differing results with the same settings. But that doesn't bother me, I like to be surprised ;)

Hm, i cannot reproduce your problem. My factories increase the level of the Starport all right:

This. I want to create several variants of improvements that can be upgraded to the same next tier building. For that I would need to put several tags on the next tier building. When I do that now I get an error on program start.

In the upper right of the screen you can access the list of all your ships and fleets and sort it acoording to some criteria. Everything not ideal, but better than nothing.

I read in some other thread that Stardock is reworking their forums.

Anyway, good Idea that :)

[quote who="Franky999" reply="10" id="3696119"] That's a great news!. My mod "Pop rebalance" already implement all of theses ideas and a lot more. My latest addition is really interesting: i have added upgradable Capitals and a new garrisons building that cost 3 legions and add 3 garrisons to the planet. It's a way to force the AI to build garrisons. I find that except for it's capital, the AI don't put enough garrison on it's planet! [/quote] But I saw

Much asked for, never implemented. Seems to be too complicated or not important enough for the devs.

I think you are speaking of influence. Influence (that is also generated by Culture starbases) can be used or has effects in several ways: - Asteroid mines can only be mined when in your influenced area. - You can flip enemy planets to your empire when your influence on them is bigger than that of the original owner. For that you must have very influential own planets nearby or build a couple of culture starbases. - You get notified if foreign ships enter your influenc
