[quote who="Chibiabos" reply="4" id="3690025"] Just out of curiosity, ribbiter-in-chief, what size galaxy do you tend to play on? Do you take advantage of the 64-bit capabilities to play on the largest maps, or are there too many demands on your time to play on larger maps? [/quote] I tend to play on Large but not any bigger than that. I rarely have time to spend days on end on a single game.

So you think people who just bought Crusade a month ago at full price should be punished for buying it when it was new? That would be the effect of putting a brand-new product on sale. GalCiv III v2.3 (base game) was just released. If you don't think that's good, I doubt you'll like Crusade.

If all goes according to plan, most, if not all, Ashes players will have Escalation in the next few days. Why are we expanding the criteria? Simply put: While people like Ashes of the Singularity, the overwhelming message is that the community needs to be merged together. We originally planned to allow players to play MP against each other but as time has gone on, it has become increasingly apparent that this would have both technical and fairness issues (i.e. do Ashes

Just wanted to chime in here, I'm taking notes. The GalCiv team gets me until Crusade ships. Then I'm on Star Control until that ships.

Has anyone made a map editor video tutorial? If not, I can make one but it would be super cool if someone has already made one.

[quote who="RUSNNJA" reply="5" id="3665741"] Points provided are still nowhere to be listed as potential improvements and the bugs such as engineer building and repeat queue multiple factories at the same time still are issues. You say that you don't want to get poor reviews on standard game because you care about it and will support it for a long time, yet there is no response for over a month. Should all this be pointed out on Steam instead? Where do you guys watch

[quote who="DasUnding" reply="15" id="3661705"] We can not even talk about balance at this moment while defense buildings do not shot and even with this strange behavior they are way too good. It can simply not be the case that a win or a lose is decided if your defense is willing or not to attack your opponent ... [/quote] I have seen this as well with the Artillery. I dont' think it's a bug in the game but rather a bug in the design of the artillery post in t

Any of you interested in multiplayer (ranked) you can download and run this: http://draginol.stardock.net/files/EscalationBrowser.zip Basically, you run this and it goes into your system tray. When there are ranked games available for you in your region, it will notify you. Then, just load up Ashes and join the multiplayer queue. Future updates will let you

I think a lot of people have moved to Escalation. I haven't waited more than about 8 or 9 minutes for a game there so far.

Update: We are getting close to putting up a Tournament Edition on Steam. Here is how it will work: There will only be a Multiplayer button and a tutorial button. Players will be able to play ranked and custom games (and the future quick match games) The custom game will not let them start a game unless there are other players in the lobby (i.e. you can't just create a bunch of AI players and play it single player).

I have seen this and I don't know the cause as it happens rarely but definitely happens. What we think is happening is that it's trying (and failing) to connect to your Steam friends list.
