Reply to Using and abusing Ideology system in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

You know, I had a bit of a problem with taking multiple ideologies before the current iteration, but now I don't. I think the reason is that now it feels like 12 trees that just happen to be in three groups, rather than three opposing trees. It didn't make that much sense to be benevolent and malevolent, but I have no problem being enlightened and aggressive or prominent and awe-inspiring. Before I usually stuck to 1 tree, but now I'm enjoying my pragmatic and malevolent Yor and I

I think there's a UP resolution that does that, except for the last part.

Reply to City Sieges in Sorcerer King Discussion Elemental Forums

I don't want extensive tactical combat, but it does seem a bit weird that you get more choke points when fighting in an open field than when defending your city. Maybe just a wall across the middle of the field with a 2-square opening? This would make it feel a bit more like your were actually in the city defending it and emphasize the importance of ranged units both in defending and attacking a city.

To be fair, AOW3 is basically a tactical combat game. It would be unfair to expect a game that focuses on the strategic layer to meet the same standards.

Reply to Have the Tech Ages been explained? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

That's pretty much it. It's basically to force you to research a bunch of different areas before you can advance too far down one particular tree without having a complex web of prerequisites. I rather like the system in theory, though I don't think they've got the pacing right just yet. The Age of War seems to drag on forever in the current build.

Reply to possible solution to constructor spam on star bases in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

My only question would be where is the production come from? Do you queue up an improvement in your social queue? Does it queue up in your shipyard? Do we add another slider or wheel? Honestly can't find an option that I really like. To me, the best would be that you build the upgrade on planet in your social queue and once complete it gets shipped to the starbase, but even that I don't love.

[quote who="Franco fx" reply="9" id="3520065"] As Gilmoy pointed out, no matter how much you like the OP's favorite solution, (and I do sort of like it), it is far too radical to be considered at this stage. [/quote] I agree, but I think something similar might be great for an expansion that would also include the oft-requested starbase editor. I really love the idea of fewer, but more involved starbases. Right now I like them, but right now the only interesting decision

Please no. The economic model in the current game may not be realistic, bit it is elegant and easy to understand. Lets not add too many variables.

Reply to A look at ship roles in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

While I agree that it would be good to see the ships act a little smarter, it is important also to avoid cheese tactics. Being able to load up a ship with thrusters and a single laser and auto win against anything with shorter range would be crappy.

Reply to Allowing Yor To Colonize Extreme Worlds Breaks The Game in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

The way I would handle these issues is 1) If you come into possession of an extreme world before your have the tech to colonize it you get a severe production penalty; -80% or -90%. 2) Improve AI (pretty sure this will happen anyway)

Increasing the effectiveness of defenses would also make battles longer and more interesting and balance the larger ships that have the room to stack up defenses against fighters and other small ships.

Production cost has been changed so it doesn't deduct the cost of the previous building anymore. Up until this version upgrading from basic factory (cost 30) to xeno factory (cost 45) cost 15; now it costs 45. Is this a feature or a bug?

Reply to What is wrong with economic system in a nutshell in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Here is the math on how the research project work: they take your manufacturing output, divide it by 4, then run it through all your research or economic bonuses. Here are some of the ramifications: The break-even point is +300% manufacturing. Until then, you are better off using your slider. At exactly +300% manufacturing, setting the slider to 100% science is the same as 100% manufacturing with the research project. Above +300% manufacturing you are better off using projects than th
