Reply to SY 100 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm a bit curious on #3 and #5 and whether those are meant to include asteroid mining bases as well (or if asteroid mining bases go to the planet first and thus only indirectly to the subject of SY100). Durr ... I'm having difficulty figuring out what we are or aren't allowed to say and where. Posting on the main forum in 'code' seems kinda silly and spammy to non-founders.

Several disparate glitches indicate possible memory leak because they clear on save/reload in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I've seen others post a few bug reports with bugs that go away upon save and reload, and I have found a few as well -- one ship will join another ship to form a fleet of 2, but I am unable to get more than 2 to merge to a larger fleet even when there is Logistical Slots room unless I save and reload; ship/fleet commands disable (the 'Command' greys out and Guard/Sentry controls are thus unavailable) after a save/reload. I'm no expert by any means, but I think these see

Reply to Font size in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I think 1920x1080 (1080p) is the most common display resolution for most of us, but at this resolution the planetary build queue gives the uneven effects above (the number 11 in the turns-to-build has the main vertical shaft of the second 1 in the numeral 11 thinner/much less visible than the first 11). Is this w

Reply to Fleet/stack management not fun - alpha lives up to Frogboy's promise in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="9" id="3454120"] To op and others, currently in the Alpha it appears that the little ship icons in the the Fleet/stack selection panel DO NOT allow you to select the units. Intuitively you would think that it works that way but it does not. I know because I had the same problem as OP with what I though was the wrong ship moving. It seems that currently those icons only serve for grouping purpose. I actually reported that in my List of annoyances <br

Reply to Enemy Ai not attacking at all in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

AI also doesn't seem to build hardly anything on its planets, even its homeworld. I have a lot of planets, all tiles filled on them, and yet the AI's homeworld had only a couple of improvements, most of its tiles are empty. Again, "Not Fun." :P AI is one of the last things to get implemented, I think, as I said -- after basic systems that essentially set the rules for how production, research, combat, etc. works. AI can't be programmed to intelligently use

Tidbits in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hopefully this isn't disallowed. :) I figured if "Let's Play" videos are allowed, so too could be a simple post. If this isn't kosher, my apologies. Just some tasty tidbits (some differences between GC2 and GC3, not bugs or glitches, but currently implemented though, of course, subject to change or removal) for those who haven't bought in as Elite Founders that I (as an Elite Founder) have found while trying out the GC3 alpha.

[Tech Tree Bug] Researching 'Deflector Manufacturing' /increases/ shield manufacturing cost by 1% (reverse of likely intended effect) in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I seem to recall someone reporting something similar about a 101%, but haven't been able to find it. I realize this is an alpha, likely all techs will get heavily reworked, but my thinking in reporting it is hoping the tendancy in whomever entered the data of the effect for the tech can watch out for repeating the error in the future which I think would be helpful when the techs are more fleshed out.

Reply to Range glitch in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Ranges were quirky in GalCiv 2. When you got the hang of them, you could set certain destinations when your ship/fleet started at the edge of your allowable range, and in certain situations your ship/fleet would fly many turns outside the range of your fleet before turning toward its destination; GC3 seems to be similar in this regard.

Reply to Enemy Ai not attacking at all in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Its alpha, so yeah, AI isn't really implemented yet. I'm only a fan of game development, I don't have much technical knowledge, certainly not of strategic timing as technical expertise in when things are done in what order, so take my thought analysis on it with a grain of salt, but it would make sense to me to hold off on trying to write the code for AI until the basic rules and systems of gameplay are ironed out and stable. In alpha, things are bound to change from
