Galactic, Mega, and Crisis Events in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

UPDATE I'm moving this post to support because I think this may not be working as intended. My understanding is that galactic events are supposed to apply to individual civilizations. For example, the New Generation event is supposed to act on a random planet of a faction. When it is fired by the game, every faction experiences the event at the same time. That may be working as designed, but I'm not sure. The background for this issue is that I've been trying to trigge

[quote who="lyssailcor" reply="6" id="3718258"] Didn't look at it myself yet, but perhaps the Crisis system can be used to implement short story lines where decisions determine the outcome and reward. [/quote] This seems possible, depending on what you mean. I see no reason there would be any limit to the number of subsequent decisions that would need to be made in the course of the event--and the string of decisions could be as simple or as complex as desired. For example,

Thanks for the link, Publius. And thanks for the comment on my anomalies/missions mods. I'm considering what additional mods make sense given the changes brought on by Intrigue. The low hanging fruit would be additional governments and crises--though I'm not exactly sure how the crisis events work. I've looked at the xml, but it seems a bit complex, at least at first glance. I'm also pondering how the crisis event system might otherwise be used. Anyhow. Thanks again!

What mod are you using, Publius? Is it publicly available? Does it correct some of the bizarre high costs and low weapons/defenses, especially in the third tier (many of which are weaker than second tier ships at a higher cost)? I know of Gauntlet's, but my understanding is that his mercenary mod is primarily cosmetic (to be honest, I haven't checked it out in a while, so I may be wrong). Thanks!

Enjoying Intrigue; a couple comments in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Due to work and life (two toddlers consume a lot of time), I haven't been very active with GalCivIII for the past several months. I came back about a month ago and have quietly absorbed the changes to the game brought on by Intrigue. The changes are fairly significant and offer some excellent changes to game play. Great work, dev team! I do have a few comments (more likely to come). First, the major change to tourism and the way the economy looks on the summary is kind of confusing.</

Reply to A Request for Universal Starbase Design in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

I think there are a lot of good ideas here, but I tend to agree that the types make me choose what to build and where. Now, that does limit future choices of what to do with a particular starbase once built. But I'm pretty much okay with that. I'm not trying to derail the OP, but in my opinion, I'd prefer an alternative to or variation of universal design... If I had my druthers, I'd like to see a system that makes it possible to diversify but more cost-effective to specialize

Well, except for the fact that I got a defender ship from one of the lightly defended anomalies and foolishly thought that ship and my surveyor would be strong enough take on a moderately defended anomaly.

[quote who="Franco fx" reply="32" id="3680187"] I am trying it out and I like it, for the increase in anomalies if nothing else, but it is much more and it adds a lot to the game. My one complaint is that the pirate defenses are too strong by half. IMHO, the starting surveyor should beat the pirate's lightly defended base at least 95% of the time. It should be an "oh shit" moment to lose to lightly defended. Moderate pirate defense should nearly always fall to the survey ship

[quote who="a0152570" reply="24" id="3680132"] Any way to color the actual anomalies? [/quote] I'm not sure... but off the top of my head, I doubt it. Strategic map icons (like planets) seem to be hard coded. For example, you can change the color of Precursor worlds from that purplish color, but you cannot change the color of, say, extreme worlds. But I will look, and if I can, I'll consider changing anomaly color for even easier identification.
