While I'll agree that the hex cultural borders don't look the best, the alternative would be confusion over exactly which tiles are within your borders. Personally, I'll take clarity over pretty 10 times out of 10.

The point here isn't the numbers but the concepts. Of course the actual numbers would have to be playtested. That being said: [quote who="androshalforc" reply="1" id="3512210"] the +100% production is not that impressive particularly in mid to late game. [/quote] I think maybe you have production confused with manufacturing. Production is the number that comes from your population which feed into science, wealth, or manufacturing. Therefore it means that your pla

Let Thalans build Tall in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I have really been enjoying the Yor. I think one of the best things that Stardock can do to make this an impressive game is strong delineation between races giving varying playstyles. With that in mind, I started thinking about the last two races and what kinds of things could really make them stand out. Reading through the forums, I also noticed that there are many players who want a “tall” option. I don’t like the idea of changing the base game to accommodate tall strategy

Reply to [Optional Merge Starbases and Shipyards], update Starbases with sponsors (Mining Starbases + Planets) eliminate constructor spam. in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I disagree with OP for two main reasons: a ) it is important that shipyards not be starbases so they can remain mobile and can be built closer than 5 tiles away from starbases. b ) as to multiple function starbases, I think it is important from a strategic standpoint that the player have to make choices that have a downside. It more fun and more interesting that the player have to choose between the starbase types. That said, I think the ability to build starbases with two pur

[quote who="ClaytonHollowell" reply="9" id="3511956"] Again, refer to this document (the GalCiv backstory): https://www.galciv3.com/databanks/timeline At the start of the game, BEFORE anyone constructs a hyperdrive capable ship (IE prior to the start of the game), ALL the major civilizations not only know of each others' existence, but have a means of communicating with each other (subspace communication invented by the Yor a hundred thousand years ago).

Reply to Are the Yor Underpowered? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I actually think the Yor are at least equal if not overpowered. They do require more macro though and are a bit weak in the very early game. a ) The ability to control growth makes it simple to stay at 100% approval. b ) Not having to build farms means they have more room for other improvements and can make much better use of lower quality worlds. c ) You can't build while growing, but you don't have to be idle. Set your planet to 99% science, growth, or milita

I personally think that is is good that you need to use ships to defend a starbase. They are high-value targets and it should take a little effort to defend them against attack.

Reply to How the hell does morale work? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I feel like some are making the new system seem much more complicated than it is. The game clearly shows you what your goods and services are on each planet. It also shows your population. All you have to do in not let your population get too far above your goods and services. There really isn't any math involved. It is prefect one to one? no, but that's not a bad thing. As far as I know you will always have 100% approval as long as your G&S are higher than your population. Plus,
