Reply to [MOD] Autumn Twilight - v2.3 Release in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hey everyone! I've uploaded a new version. It's another big update. In some cases even more so than the last one. So, let's get started: Campaigns I've noticed that I forgot to change the names of some of the Campaign-files. This means that, despite my claim to the contrary in the OP and readme, they will overwrite some of the original files when installing them. Sorry about that. While trying to fix this mistake, I noticed that my chan

[quote who="hardcore_gamer" reply="4" id="3568512"] Does this come with a diplomatic penalty if the planet was originally owned by somebody else? [/quote] Nope. It's your planet now, so you can do with it whatever you want.

You can already do what you are asking for. Just open the Govern screen of the colony you want to get rid off and click on the button "Destroy Planet".

Reply to penalties for being over population cap in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

A simpler solution would be to remove all the excess population once you hit end turn, instead of having it decrease at a rate of -0.1 per turn. Just like it did in GalCiv 2. Think of it as mass starvation for the biological lifeforms (which it is) and not enough energy (or whatever) for the synthetics.

Hey everyone! I've uploaded a new version. It's a pretty big update this time, following the previously established "back to the roots" theme: Weapons & Defences Well, as I've said in my last post, I wasn't happy with the current state of the weapons and defences. After several more iterations, I've ended up using values which are pretty close (if not identical) to the vanilla ones. Quite ironic, considering that I originally ch

Shouldn't that be in the race-specific tech tree (e.g. VargasilTechDefs.xml) instead of the general TechDefs.xml? At least, that's how it is for the corresponding Krynn tech. Other than that, it looks fine to me. Just make sure that the DisplayName and the Descriptions are defined somewhere (e.g., VargasilTechDefsText.xml). The Krynn Consulate improvement has "ConversionTech" as tech requirement, which is the GenericName of both your tech and the Krynn original. I can see two

Reply to Consulate Help in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

The names and descriptions of techs, improvements, ship components, etc., and their actual ingame values are split into two files. The XML-files under Data\Game only contain the game-values, along with referential which the game looks up in the corresponding XML-files under Data\English\Text to find the actual names and description. In case of the Krynn Consulate building, you'd have to look at the ImprovementText.xml. I hope this helps.

Reply to Large Empire Penalty WAD? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Captain Patch" reply="37" id="3565046"] I really do not believe that Morale should work anything like the way they set it up. The biggest factor that affects the unity factor -- which is how Stardock is describing Morale = "patriotism" -- is communication. Which for a high-tech civilization is at least as fast as the fastest ships in the empire's Navy. With a good possibility of eventually creating an instantaneous comm network that connects th

[quote who="tilyas89" reply="6" id="3564851"] Wasn't it possible in GC2 though? [/quote] It was. The AI in GalCiv 3, however, just isn't at that level yet. That's also true for a lot of other areas, like planet specialization, fleet management, diplomacy, and so on. It will get there eventually, but that is going to take some time and effort.

Hey everyone! I've uploaded a new version of the preliminary update. It's only a minor update, containing the new readme-file and some small changes: 1. I made some edits to the GC2_Conversations.xml again. This should finally fix the text-less war declarations. I haven't gotten them in any of my test-games since the change. So, cross your fingers. 2. The Economic Direction Unit of the Thalan now only grants a 25% economics bonus again. 3. I moved t

I don't think it's just technological advancement. The same thing happened in all of my games so far, even though I was ranked 1st in Military Power (and often Faction Power too). This really got annoying after a while. Seriously AI, at least get a strong enough army to back up your threats before trying to extort me. Otherwise, I'm going to send my own army to you, and give my troops some R&R on your planets. It's possible that there is an error in the calculation

I ran a couple tests in GalCiv 2 to get some comparison values.
