OP-which tables modify the ideology tree? I would like to modify the tree, but cannot figure out which table to actually modify to make those changes. Your mod's tree, for example, shows sweeping changes but at this point I don't see what text in the XML files actually effectuated those changes.

[quote who="Uncle_Joe" reply="9" id="3710080"] As far as Tourism, it may or may not be too high but I'm sure that is just a matter of tweaking it to fit what they envision it's role being....ie, primary source of income or a supplement to trade/planets etc. It does give a good reason to push for Influence and expand your borders, something that was fairly unimportant before.

[quote who="laws2150" reply="4" id="3709825"] Hovering over the Shopping Center in the tech tree, a Shopping Center is a downgrade from the Market Center. It has a lower percentage for colony income. Also, the Market Center gives +1 for Approval adjacency and no Wealth adjacency bonus (seems odd). Upgrading to Shopping Center loses the Approval adjacency bonus but gives the Wealth bonus. I doubt this is correct. Is the final release of 3.0 out before Intrigue, this Wednesday?<

Reply to Not a fan of the economic system in 3.0 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Looks like changes are still ongoing. I started a new 3.0 game and now market centers can be built on more than one tile per planet as before. I don't know if shopping centers are back yet because I've not researched that tech. Tourism still appears to be grossly overpowered as before. So my posts aren't entirely negative I want to stress that I really like the game and many of the changes made for the latest beta.

Not a fan of the economic system in 3.0 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

As the title states, I'm not a fan of the economic system introduced for v 3.0. It feels like the economic choices of the player have little importance and the precursor treasury planets are of virtually no importance except as another site to manufacture. Tourism pretty much drives the economy. I know the game isn't a simulator, but the value of tourism to the world economy is about 10%. In the game it's now about 90%. The economic output of your pla

[quote who="Horemvore" reply="1" id="3709219"] You do not need planets dedicated to Economy anymore, simply build a Port of Call and or other Tourism buildings on each planet and watch your money sky rocket, I have hit 7k bc a turn with the new Tourism mechanics. Its insane tbh, the new Pax Emproium wonder is a massive boost if you can get to build it on your homeworld.

Missing Economic Buildings in v 3.0 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

First, I've noticed that Market Centers" have now been made a one per planet improvement. But have shopping centers been entirely removed from 3.0? I've researched the tech that still shows "shopping centers" as being one of the improvements to which a player will gain access, but shopping centers are not appearing in the queue. Does it appear later? Have there been changes to other economic buildings to make up for the loss? Given that markets can only be

This is nitpicky but it always bugged me a bit that one starts the game with a medium class hull but doesn't have the technology to actually build a medium class hull until much later. The ship also contains sensors and other tech you have not yet developed.

I think that they're well, too stereotypical evil so to speak. In a fantasy or scifi game, it is perfectly okay with a myriad of races to have one that is pure evil. I mean, to the Drengin they're not being "evil". They have people to feed and an empire to protect, and slave labour is an effective met
