Reply to My one request for Galciv III, just ONE SIMPLE REQUEST in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="10" id="3455075"]It's under Game Options once you click on New Game. However, that disables all Mega Events. You can't disable individual ones in GalCiv 2, because they are all hardcoded.[/quote] Ah yes, makes sense that it would appear when you create a new game... Thanks for reminding me of that!

Reply to My one request for Galciv III, just ONE SIMPLE REQUEST in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I just looked to see if there is a toggle and I can't find it! I know mine is happening, and it never really was an issue for me either for the reasons others have stated in their games, but I wanted to see this toggle as I didn't remember it. So, where is it located in the options? Or is this one of those things that you need to edit a file? Thanks.

Yes, I've had the same on a few planets of mine. Being given the ability to choose where we place the initial colony would be most helpful!

Reply to Do you miss the dual build Queue? What about having the Starports separated from the planets? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I have to say I'm with EvilMaxWar here. He spelled it out well for how I'm feeling about the sliders being gone. At first I thought it was just the initial knee jerk reaction to something new being done to something I was used to and comfortable with but the more I've dabbled with it the more I feel the limitation that EvilMaxWar has pointed out. I don't think sliders are bad at all. :)

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="3" id="3453842"] Quoting Alstein, reply 1 How is Starports separate from planets not a dual queue? It is still a dual queue but implemented significantly differently than in GalCiv II, I will try to find the exact FrogBoy quote I was thinking about. [/quote] True, and we're only talking about a outward visual representation here. I think it boils down more to each individual's taste an

[quote who="DodgingRain" reply="12" id="3454340"] That mini manual post doesn't really tell us anything.[/quote] On the contrary. For me, I knew that when I engaged in battle I shouldn't expect to see any battle animations. Therefore I knew my ship or their ship would just disappear. So there was no need for me to create such a thread as this one. Pretty clear from where I'm sitting and at this point (being an alpha I mean) I'm not expecting more than that.

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="10" id="3453938"] It seems I am the only one who kind of enjoy the ''Eject'' spaceship Yeah It sounds more as though you are taking the trash out rather than deploying a spaceship but for some reason I think it fits with the GalCiv weirdly humorous theme.[/quote] Yes, I think the word eject is totally wrong here. You eject CDs, DVDs, Cassettes (yes, I'm showing my age and won't dare mention 8 Track

Reply to Turns Remaining in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="trims2u" reply="2" id="3453486"] I'm going to suggest that they abandon the "tooltip" method of displaying the vast majority of information. It's annoying to constantly have to move your mouse all around the UI to get information that should be available at a glance. The Research thermometer progress bar, and the Construction progress bars for each Planet definitely should have a number at the far right of the bar indicating how many turn

Instead of making a new thread I figured I'll just add to an existing one and this was closest to the top and therefore won. :) Couple of things I noticed during my first brief play session.

[quote who="EPiC98" reply="50" id="3452270"]I hope there are no further problems! [/quote] Actually, that was no problem at all. Steam will happily accept your key at any time that it is provided to you but if the game is not ready to distribute it won't download until it is. Standard procedure, nothing more.

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="66" id="3452259"] There are some issues on Steam's side of things, so we're probably looking at around 3pm ET today right now everyone. If it ends up being sooner, someone will post here. [/quote] Thanks for the heads up and possible time frame. That works quite well for my current schedule. I'll be done working around 3:30-4pm EST so it should hopefully be downloaded and ready to go when I am. :D
