Reply to PC Gamer's First Preview of Galactic Civilizations III in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

My Lord, this looks awesome. Love the screenshots, and the way ideologies seems too work. Sounds like a very clever version of the culture to ideas system in Civ5, adapted to the ethical events system in GalCiv2. We get points towards a certain ideology after what choices we make, then we can spend them on the kind of ideology we lean to, choosing between different new traits and abilities within that ideology group? Sounds very clever and fun indeed, if it works something like that&nbsp

[quote who="Holy_Slayer" reply="39" id="3418909"] I personally loved movie clip part it was always great to watch your designed ships engage in battle, I think it was one of core elements of galactic civ and I really hope they keep it and perhaps implement some future where you can manipulate outcome while watching video! This is not fast paced game and never should be this is turn based strategy I never enjoyed solar sin empire it was to action orientated and way fast paced for my liki

Reply to Time to re-download galactic civ II and start huge campaign! in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Done the same. Played GalCiv2 the whole weekend. My God this game is great. Hadn't played it in a good while and remembered the game as a masterpiece, but it's even better. This game seems almost like a work of God. :D Can't wait for some more Immense Galaxy, high difficulty play, later today. I started on Crippling since there is some time since I've played. I also have blind exploration and solar systems and planets set to occosional, all tech tr

Reply to Races were too alike in GC2 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I think they did it perfectly in GalCiv2. Races were different enough for different strategies and replay value, but not so different that I ended up only wanting to play one Civ. Take an example. If for instance one Civ was nomadic, or for instance consumed planets and had to move on to new ones, I simply wouldn't be interested in playing it. Different yes, but too different. I see a fine line of balance there. Too much diversity can result in a very straight forward gameplay for

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="2" id="3418180"] Since we can already scan our own planet today, I see no reason why any ship with even the minimum default scanners shouldn't be able to already support this idea.[/quote] Gameplay reasons?

Reply to Scanning planets in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm not against this idea, but if implemented I think it should be as a part of a strategy. Like this ability costing an early technology, or an extra space ship part, or both. This way you have to decide if it is worth it for you, or perhaps you rather like an extra sensor or engine or a cheaper scout vessel.

Reply to Fighters/Drones, Command modules and carriers in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="38" id="3411692"] Those who like the idea of designing carriers and seeing carriers in action in fleet battles I think will be happy. Those who imagine fleet battles that play like MOO2 (i.e. where you're micro managing individual units) will be less happy.[/quote] Jolly good! What's not to be loved with the Frog? Both statements are excellent news in my book, and promises well for GC3. This game will be

Reply to Tech Tree/ Technology game length in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yeah, the point is that in game settings with many planets, and an immense galaxy, the science yield can be insanely high. There should be some game speed available to better scale it. An inspiration could perhaps bee to look at how the Civilization series are doing it, up to the Marathon speed.

Reply to Soren Johnson launches Mohawk Games! in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I first and formost am a fan of TBS 4X, but love slow paced strategical RTS like the Europa Universalis-series. I'm also a huge fan of the strategical RTS Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander (the original). This game sounds like it can turn out to take a place among my few, but great, RTS favorites.

Reply to Visibility within cultural borders. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="charon2112" reply="2" id="3409869"] Quoting Cikomyr, reply 1 While I understand your concerns, I would rather we do not have full visibility within cultural borders. Otherwise, how could ships infiltrate? Enemy ships probably shouldn't be able to walk up to your front door unnoticed.[/quote] That's why sensor tech is important, both on ships and Space stations. This is a part of strategy.

Reply to multiplayer needs real time??? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Because the game will still be turn based, and work turn based in all its mechanisms. The only difference is that all human players take their turn at the same time. Seems like you have no idea how TBS MP works, to say it a bit harsh. I suggest you play some Civ4/Civ5 multiplayer, to see how good it works, what it's all about and also how popular it is. RTS MP is totally different. You can't make this game TBS in SP, and another version RTS for MP. That would be
