[quote who="Seilore" reply="4" id="3561275"] Old-Spider, Is it possible that the 101st race is defective and causing the crash? have you tried with a different 101st race? (aka the core from the faction contest caused my game to crash if used I had to copy and modify it to get it to work.) [/quote] My first thought is "no" since it occurs while adding only random races. There is no way of knowing which races are being added at that time. It

Reply to Crash With Too Many Races in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I don't want to take credit for creating so many races. I only made 4 of the 166 I have available. These races include: 8 that came with the game 4 that I made as factions 7 that are from mods that I found in various posts in the forums and then downloaded. 147 that are faction files that I found in various posts in the forums and then downloaded. So, I am a prolific downloader of the work of others

Crash With Too Many Races in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

GalCiv3 is advertised as handling 100 Races. It does, but it will not handle 101. It crashes instantly when the total races reaches 101. Everyone needs to understand that 100 races means you and 99 opponents. When the number of opponents reaches 100, the total races reaches 101, and the game crashes. I found this in version 1.02 when I was thinking that 100 meant 100 opponents. I had manually added opponents to get to 99 then added one more. The gam

Reply to 1.02 Homeworld = none on Civ Report window for all factions, even my own. in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I noticed this when I checked a custom faction I downloaded from somewhere in the forums. I just assumed it was a custom faction that didn't have a homeworld and didn't worry about it. After seeing this post, I checked my current game (1.02) against all custom factions and found that none of them and none of the minors has a homeworld listed. I am the Terrans, and I do have Earth listed as my homeworld. I will also submit a ticket.

Costs to Buy a Ship - Not The Bug It Seems To Be in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Several posts have been made about buying ships costing the full amount even if the ship has been partialy constructed. I have noticed this and always thought it to be true. While checking it out in a new game started with the Friday afternoon Opt-In (GalCiv3.exe version is 0.97.5), I found out that it isn't true, but it is a tool tip problem. I had a partially constructed colony ship in a shipyard. In the shipyard, the tooltip indicated it would take 1545 credit

If you have a 6.1 game that is important to you, do not opt in to 6.2. After that I started a new game.

Game Freeze With Ship Battle and Planet Invasion by AI in Same Turn in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

This is a new game started in Beta 6 Opt-in. It still occurs in the latest version of the .exe (0.95.3.0). While playing the game I got a notice of a ship battle that was immediately followed by a notice of a planet invasion before the ship battle appeared in the battle viewer. The invasion played out and the game returned to the game screen. I could not continue after that. I had bought a ship in the shipyard associated with the planet that was invaded.&nbsp

Can Pirates Use Strategic Resources Being Mined by Starbases that Defect to Them? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

When a race, major or minor, is eliminated, all of its ships, shipyards and starbases defect to the pirate faction. Some of the starbases are mining strategic resources. Can the pirates now use these resources to build ships that require the resources? I ask that question because of something I noticed when I started a game in 0.83 and ran the soak command in the console to let the game run by itself. Some of the major races and most of the minors were eliminated

Ships react to pirate ships when on sentry but not when on guard. Foreign trade routes have my planets listed as origin in trade window. Also, I can cancel a foreign trade route. If a foreign race creates a trade route from one of its planets (call it A) to one of mine (call it B), then I cannot create a trade route from B to A. Is this intended?
