Reply to GC4 Feedback Test Branch | VERSION 1.0.343808a in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

I have gathered a lot of typos, bugs and other problems into two documents. Some of them I reported many versions ago, but they haven't been fixed. Others are new reports. One document (GC4 101 Bugs Part 1) has typos and similar errors that can be fixed easily. I also have the reports sorted alphabetically by the name of the file containing the problem. I don't think they will take very long to fix, if my suggested fixes are approved. The other do

Reply to Yor Ability? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

This the normal reaction for colony ships. They nearly always join whoever defeats them in battle. They don't join the space monsters because they do get destroyed, and baby space monsters are born in their place. I think they do get destroyed by pirates. I know they join precursor sentinels. They join everyone else. You can defeat colony ships that have joined the precursor sentinels to get extra colony ships. You can also defeat your colony ship

Reply to Onyx Hive - How much Promethion for Growth bonus in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="peterh1979" reply="5" id="3850256"] This has been an issue since the beta. I've played as the Onyx a few times and when you mouse over the growth rate there is never any reference to promethion stocks. If it has no bearing on growth rate (which it really doesn't look like it does and I've never seen a tool tip for it) it should be removed from the race description. [/quote] Promethion does affect growth rate, but only when it's not broken.&

Reply to Onyx Hive - How much Promethion for Growth bonus in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I started a game with them yesterday. Their growth didn't seem right, but I was thinking it was adjusted slightly in one of the recent updates. I decided today it wasn't right, so I checked the same way I did much earlier when I found it wasn't working. That was fixed and has been fixed for a while. I just finished testing in 1.01.343914b on TEST. It is definitely broken again. Promethion does nothing to growth. This has been added to the Feedback

This is caused by the Auto Favorite feature. I believe it is on by default. There is no section for favorite ships, so they go into the Specialty Ships section. I just verified it by making a military ship with Auto Favorite on. It went into the Specialty Ships section. Turn off Auto Favorite to prevent that in the future. <p

[quote who="Zuell" reply="2" id="3849979"] Along this line I would love the map to allow us to add markers ourselves. All enemy(pirate/monster) bases should stay lit up once discovered. If not allow us to place a coordinate beacon to show the danger zone on our maps. Just give us some symbols and allow us to place several of each symbol if desired to draw on the universe like a football playbook. An overlay that doesn't really interact. [/quote] This can be done

You need to do it with a mod. Go to Documents/My Games/GalCiv4 and open the Mods folder. Create a folder in the Mods folder and name it whatever you want.

Reply to AI surveys without survey ship in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

AI fleets have always taken red anomalies in GC4. They don't seem to put as much effort into them as they do the yellow anomalies. They seem to wait until later in the game before they go after them, plus there are more yellow than red anomalies. It is more likely a human player will see the AI take a yellow anomaly. The best way to see them go away is to mark them with a waypoint when you find them. Later, maybe much later, you will see the waypoint and no anoma

AI fleets without survey modules have targeted and taken the red precursor anomalies without damage in my current 1.01 game. I accidentally found a way make them regret trying to take those anomalies. I wanted to see what kind of enemy was guarding them, so I attacked one with a tiny, armed, non-survey ship. It is possible for the AI and you to do that. When I made the attack, my ship was easily destroyed, and it caused the defenders to be separate from the anomaly
