1.6 Mercenaries Ysengaurd +100 Credits Not always applied [Not an Issue] in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

While playing 1.6 Mercenaries the Ysengaurd ship should provide an additional +100 credits per anomaly surveyed. While most of the time this happens I've notice on some instances it does not. To this point I haven't been able to narrow down a reason of when it doesn't apply why it doesn't apply but, the most recent one just provided 100 credit by itself with no extra bonus's applied an no other credits applied. Next time it happens I'll post a scree

Let me add to my original thoughts now that I've ventured more into the game. Mercenaries They seem to be early to middle game extra's. While there are some great things here, one can obtain all of them relatively quickly into the game. Once a player has all of them or the game has distributed them to all of the player then what? I'm at turn 166 and I have two 3rds of them all purchased. Have a way to continue to

[quote who="Omega777" reply="6" id="3619976"] You may be right Sellore - however I would be comparing it to GC2 - like XwerewolfX - I have played over 500 hours of that and am still playing and enjoying it in version 2.20 [/quote] I have well over 1000 hours on GC2 and while I feel that GC2 was more sound as a game, Stardock has had a decade plus to fine tune that game.

Like werewolf I have great respect for Stardock and buy almost everything you put out. For this game however I am glad I am not a founder and I now have 3 expansion p

(1.6) Mercenary The Trireme Incorrect Ship Type in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

In the most recent build of the beta 1.6 the Mercenary ship The Trireme states in description... "The Constructor Ship of the influential mercenary Yshua of Antzrzea." "Instant 100 Influence points when constructed." "100% Influence per turn thereafter." However if you look at the special trait of this ship and it is a "Trade Ship". It appears that this ship is just the incorrect ship type for what i

Edit: This appears to be an issues with resuming a saved game from the first 1.6 beta and resuming it in the most current 1.6 beta as I just resumed a single player game from the first 1.6 beta and it's doing the same thing the multiplayer game was doing. However, starting a new game doesn't reflect that issue.

With that is the only thing that I've been really disappointed with not being put in place yet other than numerous bug fixes. Other than that I respect your feelings and I hope Stardock continues to improve on their game as time goes on :)

First off not sure on all changes made before the weekend with the 1.6 beta, however, one thing I just noticed playing multiplayer is the Bazaar all Mercs had no cost (credits) only required resources. When I purchased 1, they all increased to 100 credits, plus resources.

I think a lot of beginning FAQ's could be answered by having a very detailed tutorial options when starting the game such as follows... Now from a developer standpoint this can become a very time consuming process but, may help players get those answers that they feel are too basic to ask but, can't figure out and get frustrated and leave the game.

[/quote] I just purchased this Mercenary ship as well. There is no way to activate this ship, one is unable to lock into orbit on a dead planet and no way to really activate it or lock on to a dead world either. Hopefully this remains though and works as I love the idea.

Added... Trade Resources Issues. Any trade resource the AI sees as 1 item. (very common) [exploit] Because these are stacked such as Helios Ore, this can be a huge exploit trading one item for 10 Helios ore isn't fair. [very common) [exploit]

Additional thoughts. Free Trade Agreement has been morphed. This is now allowing trade for up to 5 trade resources, which is way over powered, especially being that I'm essentially getting all these trade resources for free and they stack. I thought before you could get too many for them at 2. Either that or trade resources are now given like table scraps.
