Reply to Will GC III support DX12 and this new 'multi GPU to CPU' threading? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Gimp ( http://www.gimp.org/ ) is good but a bit heavy/complex. Paint.Net ( http://www.getpaint.net/index.html ) is light and easy to use if you only want to do simple things.

Reply to So I decided to try to create an Insaner than Insane map today (SPOILER: It didn't work - Partial Debug.err Inside) in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

from the little testing I have done: X -this determine the size of the map. I tested it with tiny and small maps and every time the side of the map hexagon is X+1 tiles long. 356 I am less sure of this but I believe this is the base number used to calculate the number of things ( at least planets) on the map. In MapSetupDefs.xml you have the defini
