Reply to 1.8.496731 Game balance in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="3902603"] You’re on turn 308. The Manti are apparently more powerful. B\y 308, it’s not surprising other Civs are reaching you. Am I missing something? Influence was greatly reduced in 1.8 over previous versions. But the AI is much better now. [/quote] Just seemed a little overpowered for "Normal". Never saw my home sector labeled as being controlled by another CIV. Guess I'm just too used to the "old" AI.

1.8.496731 Game balance in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

IMHO ver 1.8 is in need of some rebalancing. If you don't go all out for influence you get this (normal level). In previous versions I knew I could overcome huge AI leads, but I've never been out influenced in my Home sector. The AI shouldn't be able to do that, especially at "Normal". And please, please fix map generation. If I've picked max everything and "Far", how are they even in my sector already. This has been a problem for quite awhile, but I though

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="1" id="3902423"] You can make it a colony and use an orbital improvement to harvest the Harmony Crystals (after getting the right tech). Why make it a core world? [/quote] I was just pointing out that the description box says it's a great core planet, which of course is impossible. I'm planning to to do exactly what you pointed out.

Unless the rules have changed you can't assign a Governor to a class 5 planet. Giving a class 5 planet these stats is absurd.

When you select to build the "Nail" it never shows up in your shipyard. This was in the beginning of a game. 1st time it came up.

[quote who="RammaStardock" reply="2" id="3900343"] So to be clear you captured a planet, the nearby shipyard flipped to you with full control, but is still being sponsored resource wise by an enemy core world out of your control? [/quote] That's correct. However on my next turn the shipyard went to orphan status, so I guess it was just stuck waiting for the opposing civ to take their turn.

Only Mining Starbases can mine strategic resources. The only issue I have with this is that now I have to dedicate my first 2 constructors to my home system. One to get the economic boosts started and the 2nd to mine the Durantium deposit. Kind of negates the boost of having Durantium deposit in every Civ starting system. It also means that if I find a Relic next to resources, I have to send 2 constructors. Not saying the change is totally bad, b

Not sure if this was happening in previous versions, but the game is letting me move ministers back to the pool without firing them. No loyalty penalty is being posted either.

Can't say that I've ever seen this one before. Captured a planet and the shipyard closest to it flipped to me. It just so happens that the sponsor of that shipyard is a core planet in the system that I haven't conquered yet. The shipyard build screen came up and asked me what I wanted to build. That's an enemy who knows there place, maybe I'll save them for last [e digicons]}:)[/e] <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/18/60/1860429/95a988a0-323c
