Reply to Missing ship parts for the ship designer in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I've poked around with some of the ship parts. Well, the huge hull missile ship still needs anti matter bomb, so you might not have access to that design if you research huge hulls. Either that part should be removed, or missile techs should unlock bombs a lot earlier. Like second generation weapons early (just after armed shuttle early). Though that might be an issue best saved for another thread. Something thats been bugging me is that researching armed shuttle gives you fre

Reply to Bug on Draft Colonists in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

This is one of the reasons why I don't obsolete ship designs. Well, a new reason really. I'm not going to derail this thread. I'm merely going to mention that I want better tools for managing ships, both in game and out of game.

Reply to Ship Upgrades in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Under civilization policies, there should be a thing in the bottom left corner that says automate. You should be able to manage your ships and shipyards there on a global level. However, upgrading ships (as galciv 3 had it) seems to have been intentionally removed.

Reply to Missing ship parts for the ship designer in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Thanks! I've updated my game and checked the ship editor from main menu and all of these parts are there. I'll have to play the game to test the design issue with the Fortress though. As I mentioned in my original post, a required ship part (antimatter bomb) requires late game missile tech to unlock.

Reply to AI prestige victory too early? in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

I find it funny that someone who admits to playing against godlike opponents is complaining that some game feature is unbalanced or broken. Of course its not fair. You shouldn't be able to beat such opponents. The only way you could keep up is if you were using exploits to make up the difference.

Reply to Niggling buglets in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

Isn't killbots a tech that grants a soldiering bonus? I think your transports will invade faster with the bonus. The time can't be reduced below 3 turns for colonies and 5 turns for core worlds. Unfortunately, I don't think you have killbot units to put on your transports. Upgrading ships seems to restricted to survey ships, prototypes, and command ships. It seems that retrofitting is no longer in the game. You can only retrofit in some obscure way that the devs missed. If you want it

Reply to What Is It That I Do Not Get About Attack Values? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="Surge72" reply="1" id="3850613"] Yeah, combat is a total mess and probably always will be. It's always been pretty damn poor in the series, and they haven't innovated on it in decades. [/quote] Some folks here liked the combat system in GalCiv 2. I don't think any changes are needed. I find it unfortunate that GalCiv 2 has some problems playing on modern computers (can't alt + tab to desktop after planet invasions; it breaks everything) otherwise I'd be pla

Reply to Slotless Module Concept in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I don't like using resources for ship parts, or using resources altogether. I'm fine with increasing ship construction costs though. GalCiv 2 (TA expansion) had HP modules. I had designed and built ships with double or even triple the normal hit points. Combined with good defenses, ships could be nearly unkillable. That was fun. I wasn't the only one who did this. The unfortunate things was there was no standard or progression for HP modules. Some civs had HP modules t

Reply to GC IV - A very indepth look in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Different citizen stats don't matter to me. To me, citizens are a resource used by colony ships and constructors. When used that way, their stats don't matter much. I'd be fine if all citizens had the same stats. Transports are an exception though. The resolve stat of soldiers affects invasion times. However, considering that invasion of core worlds can range from 5 to 12 turns, I'm not really sure it really matters. Plus you can have multiple transports in a fleet, which can improve

Missing ship parts for the ship designer in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I've been looking at ship designs, and there seems to be 6 modules that you can't mount on your ships in the ship designer, but they may be found on some of your default ship designs. I'm using the Terran Alliance names for the ship names: -Militia Barracks: +50% hit point while in your territory (Defender) -Antimatter Bomb: Damages fleet

Your pollution is at 100%. Some events have been known to happen once you go 50% and beyond. There is this one event where the planet abducts your citizens in an effort to figure out how to talk to creatures like you and ask for you to get the pollution under control.

Reply to Turn Off Auto End Turn in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

You'll be happy to know (or not) that there is no option in GalCiv 3 to turn off auto end turn (I believe it was removed). Yes this annoys me as well. I often lose the opportunity to build starbases and upgrade them before the end of the turn.
