Reply to Saving/Loading...weird. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I've noticed this for over the last several builds. However, in my experience the influence seems to return to the pre-saved state after a game cycle (or two). Economy seems to pick up again over time. I have a hunch here though that the games pre-save economy could be the wrong figure, and that loading does a re-calc to get the correct figure. I say this because I quite often notice I get large budget surpluses during the course of a game, which disappear on reload

Reply to 3Z-1 Bug with loading dialogue... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Another couple of small bugs on the save/load screens - When the save/load list gets too long, a vertical scroll bar appears aligned centraly over the file list - it should be aligned to the right of the list. The file time format is incorrect for some files - for example, a file with a timestamp 05:04:03 would be displayed as 5:4:3

Most of the betas I've been involved with before publish a continually updated Version Control File (VCF), which lists known and probable bugs. Other usefull info includes descriptions of new modules and updated code, and an indication of where the beta testers should be targetting the program for stress testing. I would advocate the use of such a document or web page so that we can get rid of all the duplicate and misleading bug reports. Rule One would be 'if you think you've

Heck :sniff!: I'd better start mass postings now ;p Paul

Reply to Race says I'm at war when I'm not in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The relations info in 3E seems to be pretty screwy all round. For example, in one recent game I checked the relationship screen and it told me none of the majors were at war with any other. Speaking to the Yor, however, told me they were at war just about all except me, whilst speaking to all the others tells me they are at peace! I've also noticed in several games that the Arceans are allied to themselves. These bugs are not without their humorous side - in my curren

One more observation about the number of ships in play can be taken from the yearly stats: Now, I've got a Defender, Battle Cruiser, Battleship, Dreadnought, Avatar and Overlord parked in orbit round every plant, and just 2 explorers in flight in the galaxy. On the Military Graph I'm top of the heap, with the Drengins (in 2nd) at maybe 15-20% of my strength - all other major races are extint. I'd expect my military strength rating on the yearly summary to be 300+ right? Wrong

I've been playing a huge galaxy for a couple of nights and I too get a major lag now that I'm at the endgame run in. I suspect its largely due to the shear volume of ships in play due to the current ship combat bug - I'm seeing several stacks of 40+ mixed race ships all trying unsucessfully to kill each other, whilst the Bradians and Drengins crank yet more ships out at a phenomenal rate.
