Reply to Diplomacy/Leader Voices? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="charon2112" reply="12" id="3522020"] If they add voices, they should always speak in their native language and just have the text below in English when you have the universal translator. That's what Civ 5 does, the other races don't suddenly start speaking English at any point. [/quote] I don't think the game need's voice work, but if it has it, I think everyone speaking English works fine. In order to have other species speak other language

Reply to I'll be waiting for production overflow in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

From watching the streams, it seems like the issues raised in this thread are major blind spots for Paul. In at least 80% of streams manufacturing overflow comes up. EVERY TIME Paul says its in the game, when every player knows it's not. Likewise, every time the upgrading issue comes up, Paul doesn't seem to understand the problem. He repeatedly asserts that it is always better to build the smaller versions first because then you get the added bonus while you are building up to the ne

Form response to tickets in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Hi Stardock support, When you send me a form reply to my ticket that has nothing to do with the issues I reported and then close my ticket because I didn't respond to your irrelevant form response, it looks like you don't care and aren't actually reading the tickets. Now, I have had very good experiences with Stardock so far, so I'm assuming this isn't the case, but be aware that you are sending the beta testers that actually care enough to submit tickets a very po

I don't believe what you are experiencing is a bug. If you attach an engine (or other part) to a part that has been mirrored, the engine also mirrors. If the part was not mirrored the engine will not mirror. The solution is also pretty easy. If you attach an engine that you want mirrored and it doesn't mirror, you can do it manually by using the symmetry controls in the top right corner of the edit box.

I was with you on the first one, but I think it's pretty clear that sustainable research reduces maintenance of all research improvements. I have no idea what would give you the impression that it would only work for research institutes.

Reply to Diplomatic Treaty Suggestion (Arms Trade) in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I support pretty much any way to expand and improve the diplomatic system, especially when it comes to arms trading. GCII was good for its time about letting you run shadow wars through other civs, but this could definitely be improved upon.

Reply to Game Pacing? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I don't think there is an easy way, but if you are willing to put in the work, you could double the cost of all buildings and techs and maybe halve the growth rate? That seems like it would approximate the effect.

If they didn't fix it in .71, you will probably have to wait until Beta 5. They are much more interested in getting the next iteration out than fixing and polishing the current one.

Ideology Buildings in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

In smaller maps, the ideology buildings are essential to progressing past 2 or 3 ideology choices. The problem this creates is that the lines with the buildings in them become necessary, so instead of taking the perks I want or that fit my playstyle, I have to take the perks to get the buildings so I can eventually get the perks I want. I think it would make the ideology system work better if the buildings were unlocked at certain ideology levels regardless of which tree you are climbing.

Reply to the illusion of gameplay dynamics and creative strategy in galciv 3 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Well, trying to parse your tortured grammar and overwrought word choices is is quite the chore. It seems that you think the game is too simplistic and should therefore have its price lowered or some complex governmental/economic model added. Unless you have some specific examples I have to say I strongly disagree. You complain that the optimal strategy seems to be specialization of planets, which is certainly true, but there are many factors you didn't consider such as the way pop

Thanks for the patch, except. . . [quote]Removed the Yor Assembly project (now handled by the fixed duration projects) [/quote] I guess I wasn't successful campaigning against this change.

Reply to Ideology too Cheap??? :S in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I think there are two main issues here: one is that ideology needs to scale with map size, and the other is that we need more non-colonizing sources of ideology. The notion that ideology is too cheap is laughable on anything below huge map, which seems to me to be the sweet spot currently. With colonizing being the main driving force behind ideology, it is impossible to explore the system on the smaller maps. The idea of invasion events has been talked about, but that would mean that you woul

Reply to 0.61 style YorAssembly in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

.61 Assembly project was .2 per 10 manufacturing (always rounding up) per turn. It scaled very nicely into late game: I could get 15+/turn on manufacturing worlds. .7 Assembly project was 1 per 20 manufacturing (rounded up) per turn, which is essentially the same rate as fast assembly at 101/5 pop. I prefer the project because it gives you better control, but if they are bent on taking it away they could at least make sure fast assembly was enhanced by +synthetic growth and respected
