Apologies Thecw - seems that it was indeed my Steam profile name - I had a Steam nick name (or something) showing when I logged it, got confused. Many thanks for the tip

Reply to Research Cloisters -> Quantum Research -> Ascension Gate not upgrading in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Awesome, thanks Chibiabos Turns out there was a Class I Operator Error also (I missed one of the last 3 techs by accident) OK I'm an idiot Note I picked up the idea of an upgrade from an earlier forum thread; should have remembered from last game when I built it from the list!

Research Cloisters -> Quantum Research -> Ascension Gate not upgrading in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I've maxed out all research and yet still found myself not being able to Ascend to a Tech Victory I noticed I actually had Research Cloisters- somehow - on multiple planets - so when back and razed them, rebuilt on one. It auto-upgraded to Quantum but now I can't see how to go the last step. Edit - after Chibiabos response I removed the bug tag

Metaverse - email name showing rather than username in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Hi In the post game metaverse, I notice my scores are listed under the first part of my email address rather than my user name. I noticed this week that my Stardock username had spaces is in, so I updated that on the Stardock Acccount page, but I still see my email address (before the @) listed in the metaverse. OK here on the forum though Anyway to sort this? Mr B

I'm pretty new to GC3 and although I've been playing 4X since Civ I, including the earlier GC's and their DLC, I'm one of the 80% of players that mostly muck around in Normal (or the one just above it); mostly so I can experiment and mix and match and get massive replayability. Anyhoo, saw this thread and tried the strategy on Normal for the largest galaxy my rig could handle (Huge) with 9 opponents. This was my 4th game by the way (and 3rd played to completion -

Reply to Query about blueprints in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

In case anyone was interested, after a couple of hours testing scenarios: no, no, no, no, no, mo Only the listed default classes auto-upgrade. I gather some XML shenanigans in a Mod would alter these defaultsd for that Mod, but no. Only defaults upgrade as far as I can tell.

Query about blueprints in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Do I understand correctly that ship designs in Blueprints automatically update to your latest available tech? That is, I build a Scout M0 as a Terran. Later I research a new engine, and while my Scout M0 is happily puttering around the deep dark dangerous universe on last century's tech, if I go to the Shipyard I'll see a Scout M3 (or something) as a build option which is in effect the Scout M0 with the new engine? This is what I think is happening, but wanted to

[Bug] Ship Designer Bug Parts not saving properly? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hi there (First time caller, long time listener!) I'm having difficulty saving parts from the ship designer. Sometimes only a part of the component saves. For example: I crack open the Terran transporter template and grab the central little cross thing (made of Terran Model 23 and 26) using CTRL LMB from the component list, adding parts left-to-right. I then hit the little save-grouped-parts button, and it appears in the Parts menu - although I usuall

Reply to Battle viewer dramas in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks I already had those settings actually. But now I've found something else. It's quite odd - if I start a new game I see battles, but loading an older saved game still gives me no joy. Anyway, I can see them now in new games, and that's what's important B

Battle viewer dramas in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hi all [First post here, please be gentle] I bought a retail version of GalCiv2 on Thursday, installed it, then updated Stardock Central, upgraded GalCiv2, then after a few disappointments upgraded video drivers, and finally, after setting anti-aliasing to zero (0), got going. Huzzah! Game plays mostly fine. I can run all the tutorials too. The only problem is that I never (ever) see the Battle Viewer. No matter what type of ship combat I have, no joy. The combat
