[quote who="Silverbeacher" reply="16" id="3406558"] Can't wait til I get paid on Monday lol; my jaw dropped when I saw GC3 was announced; so many great memories over the past 7 years![/quote] Now that the utter joy at the announcement has faded a bit, the realization that I have to wait months for even an Alpha to drop is starting to set in...

I'll take that as a yes. :)

Meth - seriously, dude....you really gotta quit putting words in people's mouths. I'm not attacking you, your feelings or your comments. I'm really not. I've been offering a counterpoint of my own opinions on the matter - just like you're asking us to let you do. Minecraft and Star Citizen were given as an example of cases where non-steam integration worked when one was a completely different situation, and the other isn't out yet. It'
I'm gonna have to give some thought to mine. I've got a few ideas kicking around.
What do we say, folks - we getting the band back together for GalCiv III?

[quote who="KocZkaZ" reply="31" id="3406196"] So I rather spend it now and don't think about it later.[/quote] This has gotten me through a lot of gaming decisions in life.
[quote who="Meth" reply="45" id="3406159"]Good for you, you like steam. I guess that means we should all have to then right? [/quote] Yep, that's totally what I said. You've got me all figured out. Especially that part where I said that I understand your concerns and see how they could come to pass.

[quote]It's not as impressive, in my humble opinion, as a properly constructed (and somewhat realistic) fleet.[/quote] This Like you, I eventually get to cap ships or nothing by the end. Some times, I'd build smaller ships just so the battle would look cool. [quote]Make certain component only available of ships of a certain class or bigger[/quote] So much this as well. I'd love this.
[quote]A big +1 for - I assume - Brad, who will someday wake up to find GCIV entirely written by the AI.[/quote] I caught that same gem while reading the FAQ and forwarded it to a few friends. Stardock's AI has always been scary -good over the years, and I know it's Brad's baby...if he has made a learning computer fueled by crowd-sourcing, I'm a little frightened.
[quote who="Meth" reply="33" id="3405541"]If the game requires steam running in order to function it directly violates Stardock's own "Gamer's Bill of Rights" which states: "Gamers shall have the right to demand that download managers and updaters not force themselves to run or be forced to load in order to play a game."[/quote] Sometimes I wonder if Brad wishes he'd never written that thing.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="89" id="3405777"]Those were my feelings exactly. I remember posting one of the first scores to the Metaverse, and having the high score for about 12 hours.

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="13" id="3405584"]Variation is then thrown out of the window as, especially in multiplayer, anything less than optimal equals defeat (or lower score in single player). Not everyone cares about score or plays multiplayer.[/quote] Aw crap...here we go again.

You've obviously never worked in software development and had to present a pre-alpha feature list. ;) Seriously, though, I was just saying that my needs are few in regards to the tech tree. I just loved that feature, and i won't complain as long as I have that
As long as they keep the separate tech trees for different races, I'll be happy (though, it'd be nice to see them be even more different - or, should I say alien )

I have been super burned on pre-orders over the last few years across the board (Not just Stardock) to the point where I said I wouldn't pre-order another game....except GalCiv III. Now that it's happening, I grabbed the Elite package (despite the fact that there's no badge over there to the left yet...) and am excited. Elemental still gives me a few fears - but Stardock did make good on that with all of the free DLC later for early adopters* &nbs
[quote who="relmich" reply="76" id="3405371"] They haven't given a release date yet. They did however state the Alpha would be around the first of the year (2014) with the beta soon to follow. So we can estimate that the Alpha will last a couple months, the Beta a couple more months. Assuming the Beta does't drag on I would assume the release would be late Spring to early Summer (2014). [/quote] Funny thing is, I remember havin
Now I just need to figure out how to get the Founder's Medal in my posts...
Yeah, I broke down and bought already. Don't tell my wife. (also, my phone seems to HATE this forum.)
Aw, man...I am beyond excited by this news. Hey, Frogboy - is there a limit on how many Elite Founder's packages will be sold? I need to wait until next paycheck, and I really, really don't want to miss out on that.

Sooooooooooooo....this is yet another freebie for those of us that pre-ordered WoM and we get a Steam key? For real? Daaaay-um.
