Darkened Band on Upper and Right Hand Edges of Maps in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I was disappointed to see that an issue I pointed out multiple versions ago remains in version 4. What I'm referring to is an annoying darkened band around the upper and right hand edges of maps where the civs' colors don' show unless zoomed far in and even then they are subdued as though standing in a shadow. The area covered is significant and one can clearly see the straight lines marking the inner edge of its border when zoomed in or out. Is there going to be a fix for t

Glad to see that pathfinding was fixed, but disappointed that the other issues noted above (other than gigamass terraforming removal which was confirmed as intentional) are still unresolved.

It appears gigamass terraforming was removed from the game in this update. I'm guessing this is intentional but in case it's not I'm raising it here. I actually liked gigamass terraforming as it provided an outlet for all the excess gigamass I often find myself with.

Reply to Patch 3.1 Issues in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

It perplexes me that some of these very obvious bugs were not spotted before release of the 3.10 update; and if they were spotted, why the update was released with them. I would rather the update been delayed as to get this.

Reply to Onyx civ unfinished? Issues. in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Yeah, I got a weird diplomacy message from the Onyx about my civ destroying crystals that were their children or some such nonsense. This was after version 3.10 was implemented. I thought it odd, but that is consistent with what you're seeing. Honestly I think this is another bug introduced by 3.10, which overall seems to be a buggy "update."

Playing a custom race and now have duplicate defense, morale, and science ministers. I suppose this could be a feature, but I think it's more likely a bug. I tried to describe this in an earlier post but there is a darkened band across the top of the galactic map in which territorial colors don't show up until zoomed in. It is very distinct as it is a straight line all the way across the galactic map above which the darkened area is present.

Reply to Issues with 3.10 in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

Another issue-I had access to Industrial Goods before researching the requisite tech and once I researched the requisite tech industrial goods was listed twice in the shipyard production options queue. Additionally, some territory is remaining unexplored despite my scout having gone through the territory. I noticed this after a scout ran through an area and when I next looked at it the line it had passed through was intermittently explored/unexplored. Put another way the tra

Reply to (LIVE) v3.1 Update Changelog in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

I've noted a couple of issues with Version 3.10. First, long range path finding by units is no longer functioning correctly. Specifically, when trying to send a unit on a long range trip the destination does not match the point I designate with the pointer. Instead it goes to some random location. Once I shorten the desired trip accuracy returns, but this makes it inconvenient to reach far destinations (has to be broke up into multiple smaller trips) and I don't believ

Reply to 2.92 feedback and question in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Thanks for the response. It appears to be just that. Not sure why I'm not seeing it. The settings for planet distribution appear to have changed so that probably has something to do with it.

2.92 feedback and question in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

I note that I've not seen a precursor accelerator planet since the 2.92 update. Was it removed from the game? That would be disappointing. Also, the event in which the player can demand payment of money or payment in 3 arnor spice, if the arnor spice choice is made the player does not actually receive the arnor spice. Interestingly, it appears at the top of the screen for a split second before disappearing again.

Reply to Missing Techs in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Thanks for the answer-I figured that was the case but didn't know if I was missing something. I was generally aware of the changes to weapons, but eliminating an entire line of defenses and sensors doesn't make a lot of sense to me regardless of those changes. In the first place it seems to me that point defense and ECM would be a thing with civilizations capable of interstellar travel in a universe that still uses guided missiles as a form of attack. Using armor and

Missing Techs in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

I am unable to locate the missile defense techs in the tech tree since 1.55. It also appears the sensor techs are gone. Is this a feature or a bug? Regardless, I think the lack of these tech lines is less than desirable.

[quote who="Horemvore" reply="3" id="3765805"] So I am hoping no starlanes, although that is the current route they are talking about according to Brad. [/quote] Starlanes?!?! In a Gal Civ game?!? Say it ain't so! Hate the concept. I'm not opposed to the current concept of "starlanes" in GC3, where they afford significantly faster travel, but leaving that as the only option for travel would be something that would cause me to walk away

Reply to Bug No Tourism v3.96 in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I like the tourism penalties as they are. Without a significant penalty there's not a lot of reason not to take the unpopular trait so one can pick up other more important traits. In other words, I think there should actually be a significant cost to taking that trait. In fact, for several versions it was even higher and I wouldn't mind seeing it go back to that. In that version if one took the maximum penalty he had to build even more tourist buildings on one planet.&

Reply to 3.96 bug - logistics in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Are you moving the single ship into the fleet or moving the fleet into the space occupied by the single ship? The former works (or does for me) but the latter will not if that ship takes the fleet over the standard logistics limit. While not ideal this situation has existed in all versions of the game to my knowledge.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="1" id="3761662"] These changes look good. You might want to look at the Unpopular trait as well as the popular. The Measured, for example, have an Unpopular penalty that is so large that planets with a single tourism improvement don't get any tourism income. You have to build two or more tourism improvements (Import/Export Center, Paxton's Emporium, Port of Call, etc) on the same planet before you can overcome the Unpopular penalty and even st
