[quote who="Chris FFZ" reply="5" id="3661385"] The 'map' size is also all wrong, you are right on top of everyone no matter what size is selected. [/quote] The map sizes were changed in the update, please review the change log... They are returning the Insane map size back to the original but, the others that is the new size with the patch and is working as intended. As far as being on top of everyone they also increased the object count so the galaxies w

[quote]But we live in an age where people 4+ CPU cores. The AI should be doing your taxes while crushing you. So while the 1.9 AI doesn't do your taxes, it does make a lot of use of your CPU cores. Those playing the game no doubt noticed the pretty massive perf differences. I didn't optimize anything. I just made the game use your hardware a lot better.

Reply to Ship movement very choppy since 1.9 (or before?) in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

[quote]I noticed in the 1.9 opt-in patch and also in the 1.9 official patch that ship movement on the map is very, *very* choppy and slow. Since that was not the case before it can't be my machine (Intel Core i7-4720HQ, 2.6 GHz, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M) or operating system (Windows 10 Home).

Stardock, I've asked this in the past, with not much response, why do you continue to answer more on Steam and, less and less on your actual forums. I just went to the Steam forums to see that you have replied several times to peoples concerns about the map sizes there but, have said very little if any here on your forums. I know maintaining 2 forums can be a chore especially when receiving the same types of feedback, however, here is where you have your more loy

[quote who="EnormousD" reply="7" id="3660842"] By contrast, the Immense galaxy in v1.83 felt vast and spread out, with the Insane galaxy size being that much more ridiculous (which is a good thing). In v1.9, Insane is pretty big, but it still seems smaller and inferior to its v1.83 counterpart. Has anyone else noticed this as well? If so, perhaps there is a way to change the XML settings to get back to the v1.83 map generation behavior? [/quote] [quot

First off thanks for all the hard work on making these changes. I look forward on continuing to play this great game. On a different note, I don't see anything on this patch related to galaxy sizes? Does this mean that did not end up getting put into the update? If that's the case thank you.

[/quote] Don't like this option making the game smaller this far after release is like a slap across the face.

Are we going to get the "i

I have a comment but, it would not be productive so I'm going to leave it as this.... I know it's frustrating and it's a very frustrating issue for many of us, however, it's a known issue in which Stardock is hard at work to make this game great. This as well as many other issues I'm sure will be addressed in the weeks/months ahead. :) . Also I don't think you need to post this issue as a reply to the 1.9 forum post as well as creating it&#3

[quote]There used to be a suicidal difficulty level in the game, which marigolden has taunted about a year ago. This level has been since removed/renamed a few updates back. [/quote] The most difficult level in the game for AI is Godlike and always has been? However, I do agree game speed is just something to delay the start of the game. As far as buildings I don't wait 46 turns for a building to be done I purchase it for 300 credits or whatev

I am do not remember it I think it was called precursor relic on one of its planets. This event gave that particular ai a bonus to everything (per turn). It started out small and snowballed if you left it alone. Well in this game I did not see the event pop up. [/quote] Agreed... There is a similar event in Galactic Civilization
