Unless Frogboy changed his mind, there will be heroes. I don't want to give away too much of what will be in future versions of the game other than to say that any future GalCiv III (and we're talking YEARS from now) would have "heroes" (characters) in

Reply to Tactical combat. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It seems some people have a hard time accepting that tactical combat means less strategy. I guess it's the same people that would argue Europa Universalis 4 would be a better strategy game if it had Total War-style combat. They would write posts in the forums there saying: Wouldn't that be awesome to combine EU4 and Total War? Wow, it would be the best game ever made dudes...." They don't seem to understand tactical combat has a cost, and it's not only the cost of deve

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="24" id="3424136"] Quoting glupor, reply 14 Quoting Frogboy, reply 13I am penalizing the dumber AIs by giving them less stuff. This is a significant change from stardocks age old philosophy of a non 'cheating' ai except at extreme difficulties. Not really other than in the sense that the AI is being cheated against (i.e. getting less stuff). I'll be somewhat surprised if people are able to beat the

I think most games today are easy enough as it is.[/quote] Indeed. Complexity, and as many hard strategical choices as possible presented to the player, is what the intelligent strategy player want. There is also a huge difference between micro management adding to gameplay/strategy/f

Reply to [DLC Suggestion] Let's ask Brad for Siege pack DLC! in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Give us another full fledged expansion pack instead, with 3 main focuses: Sieges, Naval stuff and Empire management (pioneers building roads with upkeep costs etc, new economical mechanics, expanded outposts....). I'd be in heaven, and this game would be more awesome then awesomest. The only thing missing would be multiplayer, but that's for the next version of the game in 64 bit only. Small DLC's might be good for some short termed go

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

Combat will be awesome and fully exploit the possibilities of cinematic tactical battles, and high strategical warfare gameplay. This game will crush all opponents in interesting gameplay and large scale warfare. To make it even better; I will be able to play this beauty in multiplayer. I'm in love.

Reply to Is it a good idea to make 3 types of pioneers? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Better have one type of pioneers, the ones we have today, with the same cost. Give them the road building ability and remove automatically generated roads from the trade tech. They could also build the outposts without being lost afterwards, but it should take at least 10 turns, where they had to be defended from monsters potentially. Make some rules for max distance from outposts to avoid spamming, and allow outposts to be turned into fortresses that can hold a garnison if the pioneer i

[quote who="relmich" reply="41" id="3420216"] Can't wait. Screen shots are looking mighty juicy indeed. I have one concern looking at the first screen shot and the production status of each planet. I noticed that the one production status indicator shows either what ship is being built or what improvement is being built. I hope this doesn't mean we have to choose whether we are to build a ship or an improvement...ie FE:LH. [/q
