As hilarious as a few players may find this idea to experience, I can't think of any real benefit it would give to CalCiv.

[quote who="HardstyleFlavor" reply="4" id="3472184"] I would definitely be interested in upgrading the memory capacity, but how would you do that with a machine that is as compact as a laptop? I'll probably go troll around google in a second but maybe you know of a way to add external RAM or something else?[/quote] Memory cards are available for most laptops, just as they are for desktops, and at reasonable prices. (One exception I can think of is that DELL has, or had,

I just did a search for "3d printer" and found many of them listed. Just looking at one seller, PCRUSH.com, I found two pages of printers listed from about $350 to about $4500 (US). Lenovo, HP, and Cannon all had 3d printers listed on this site.

I can see some scraps of good ideas in here but when you talk about scrapping the influence mechanic you mustn't forget that you are talking about scrapping the entire Influence Victory mechanic.

As discussion continues on this topic you may wish to review Brad's clarification of where the zones of control extend in his reply #26 in the thread about the " Meaning of Boarders ". Clearly he is saying that the colored areas on the minimap are showing Zones of Influence, not Zones of Control and that the other civilizations are trying to claim</

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="15" id="3470820"] Quoting Lucky Jack, reply 14These are NOT territorial borders. Except when they are. To give you some examples, here are a few of the UP proposals in GalCiv 2: AnomalyOwnership01 "Throughout the galaxy, we've discovered a vast number of oddities.

[quote]Can you build a starbase outside your influence?[/quote] You could on GC2 and I have not heard anything official that says it can't be done in GC3. The only restriction I have seen in GC3 to date is that a constructor, like any ship, has a range limit (variable based on how much life support is on the ship) and I have not, as yet , heard anything to make me believe this will change. And, since starbases can be

When you consider that a hex on the GC3 map is one hell of a long distance it is hard to justify extending a TTW beyond the tile that a planet is on. I can think of three reasons for this: First is that the expense in ships in a real life situation to enforce such a huge area would be prohibitive, second, the expense to install sensors to detect violations would be very expensive. And when you compare a TTW to the width or breadth of a nation on our earth today, 12NM is miniscule, perhaps ana

[quote who="HardstyleFlavor" reply="2" id="3471635"]Adding RAM isn't really an option though seeing as though I have a laptop and don't really want to mess with an already unstable platform for hardware upgrades.[/quote] I have never had trouble adding (actually, swapping) memory in laptops. And at 4G, I think you have a bit of a restricted machine for any use. Win8 plus drivers uses over half of that.

Wow. That is quite a set of modifiers.

Gaunathor, you are right. I forgot all about these. All I can say is that these UP proposals are very inconsistent with the way the rest of the game treats the borders as displayed, something that should be addressed in GC3. Lets all keep a watch for inconsistencies as the newer builds come out. DARCA, Agreed.

[quote who="joeball123" reply="12" id="3470778"]I am very much opposed to using influence boundaries as territorial borders.[/quote] That's just the point. If you look at GC2 your influence can extend into sectors where other empires also have influence, making the "boarders" rather murky. In GC2 the sectors that get your empire's color are those where you have at least some influence and more influence than anyone else. These are NOT territorial borders.

The code Steam wants you have to get from the StarDock store. If you have Elite status, you should be able to get it there. (Steam doesn't care about the difference between Alpha and Beta. Beta won't be out until later this summer.)

I agree fully with Parrottmath's reply #10. GalCiv has never had a concept of fixed boarders beyond an empire's planet's atmosphere, and should not change this mechanic. I could see some diplomacy actions, as in GC2, where a leader would complain about your threatening his/her sphere of influence ("I see you are massing ships near my planets ...."), but that would not be a change either. And since we have not seen anything yet of wh

I just checked the starname file sent with GC3 and found it much more difficult to check for duplications. I can't just sort the file and get a list of star names. So I checked the first name in the file and found three iterations of it. My guess is that some automated process had been used to create the list from the list from GC2, seeing as the first few names in both files match in name and order. I really hope that when the list is created
