Does anyone know how I can mod out the game date and replace it with turn numbers? in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

I hate the week long turn durations. They totally wreck the epic scope of the game for me. I'd like to mod it out and replace it with a generic turn count, or change a turn to a year instead of a week. Either would be fine. I was told this could be altered in the GalCiv3GlobalDefs.xml file but I have not found a way to do it. I can alter the starting game year but not increase the turn duration or replace the year with a turn count as far as I can see. Can anyone point me in the right di

I like being able to buy enemy colonizers when they are approaching high quality planets in an area I have claimed as my own. I could see making it a bit more expensive though. [e classic];)[/e]

Reply to My thoughts, thus far; on the colonization process. in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Franco fx" reply="4" id="3528318"] As for the colonization and invasion numbers, they are ridiculous. You can explain anything with science fiction, but it is hard for me to envision any technology that would permit these numbers by 2400 AD. At the very least it should be tied to some super-tech to allow moving that many people. I seem to remember in some game and I thought it was GCI that the first X number of turns were more than 1 week. They started at X years p

Perhaps the amount of points you gain could be scaled to match the map size and colonizable planet frequency? Each map could have the same amount of available points that are distributed according to the individual map settings.

Reply to Colony Capitols in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I don't see how it would be all that time consuming to have the player choose a colony capital location as their first act when they enter the colony screen after colonization. When you first colonize a planet, you are taken to the planet screen anyway so you can start placing your structures. The capital would just be the first structure you placed. This would allow for optimal capital placement both for players who prefer isolated capitals or who prefer capitals with maximum adjac

This was a useful thread! I've always suspected that Dunov's were under rated, and usually included one in every fleet.....maybe now I'll start doubling up on them. hoohahguy if you have 700+ fleet points to spare you're wasting alot of credits on fleet support for no reason. Don't go to the next level unless you plan on using most of the points!

Replays can be very useful even when mistakes are made. They are not only fun to watch but they can give you a good idea of tactics other players have used and that you never would have thought of on your own.

Reply to James Cameron's Avatar in Everything Else Sins Forums

OK I saw this movie about 2 weeks ago and here is my take on it. If you are not into hippy message movies then I have bad news for you....all of your biggest concerns about this movie are true. The message is there, and it is in no way subtle. Earth is destroyed by global warming, or at least by human activity. The humans are evil, mostly white, obviously western in culture, and controlled by a particularly evil big business. The natives are noble, based on a cross betw

Reply to Socialism Vs Capitalism in Everything Else Sins Forums

My main problem with socialism is based on my agreement with the notion that you get less of what you tax, and more of what you subsidize. Since socialism as practiced in America and Europe involves taxing the productive to subsidize the unproductive, the inevitable long term result will be fatal to any nation, in my opinion. Socialism is more compassionate than capitalism, but capitalism is more practical and sustainable in the long term.

Marza first huh? I usually do Akkan first, because it can colonize planets. Match it up with a few cobalts and mop up nearby planets without needing a colony ship. What is the reasoning behind doing the Marza first? I usually do Akkan, then Kol then Marza later when I need to bomb enemy planets.
