Reply to Planet Specialization in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

It will be interesting to see to what degree the diminishing returns of production make this true. I really like having specialized planets. I think the diversity is more interesting then a bunch of generalized planets and there are real strategic elements, especially for influence and trade planets. Up until this beta, the solution for general planets was to build population. While diminishing returns will make this somewhat less viable, my guess is that building large pop planets and taking

First Impressions in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I have played about 150 turns with the Yor and here are some very early impressions from .60 1) Many tool-tip boxes are too small for their text with no scroll. This is a little thing, but becomes surprisingly annoying because it comes up so often. 2) Event videos for "First ____" were all very choppy. 3) Experienced noticeable lag when doing even simple tasks in the ship designer. 4) In govern planet window, the word "Manufacturing" overlaps the % text. <

Reply to Yor population Bug? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

The problem might be this: the formula for assembly is essentially this: manufacturing/10 (rounded up) * .2. If your manufacturing is set to 0 you get 0 population growth. as long as you have even 1% manufacturing though, you should get .2/turn.

Reply to Beta 3 .60 Yor planet screen still shows "Food" in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="androshalforc" reply="1" id="3511034"] there are a couple more bugs here as well 2) any other planet colonized by the yor shows a "food" value of 10 it should be 20 (AFAIK) 3) this food value is affected by food % bonus's from the planet which it shouldnt 4) this food value does not increase when you research population techs the population seems to work correctly (ive only had about an hour to play) however it just seems to be

Reply to Trading When at War in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

On the topic of UP behaviors, it would be nice if for votes where you are voting for a faction, instead of just taking the faction with the most votes, if no faction gets a majority there is a run-off between the top two vote-getters.

Reply to Environmental Protection Act OP in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

It might be interesting if there were two categories of resolution: ones that take a simple majority and ones that take a 2/3 or even 3/4 majority. This would allow major game-altering resolutions like the EPA while making them less common.

Reply to You are weak; give me money in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I have found fleets of small ships to often be more effective that larger ones. As of now, I think ships can only target one ship/round which means larger ships waste a lot of firepower against fleets of smaller ships. The trade off is that you need to replace small ships often, but considering that hull repair rates are vary slow at this point, I think small hulls are the way to go. The main advantage I find on larger ships is increased range and speed, but that might change once you can thr

Reply to The other civilizations game in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

BE has its issues, but it has a lot of good points as well. To return to the intent of the original post, I think it there are some things that it is particularly useful to learn from it. Problem: The end game is pretty awful. Specifically, I build the Mind Flower or whatever the Harmony end-game building is which take twenty-something turns, and then I am told it will be 39 turns until I win. The AI does not proceed to get any more aggressive, and my military is too

Reply to [.51][Bug] Economic Stimulus still generates income instead of wealth in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Pretty sure this is working as intended. It is balanced against turning your slider all the way to economics. Your manufacturing is divided by 4, so only after you surpass 300% manufacturing bonus will you break even. After that you come out ahead of simply moving your slider over, but you will still be massively behind what your planet would be producing if you replaced your manufacturing buildings with economic buildings, as after 300% your manufacturing buildings essentially become economi

Reply to Don't Go to the Steam Forums! Yikes! in Sorcerer King Discussion Elemental Forums

After reading this thread 2 things occur to me: 1) Frankenfurter, you are taking general comments about the Steam forums much too personally. I've looked over your posts, and while I disagree with much of what you say and do think there is some misrepresentation in some of your posts, you are not the kind of person that people were complaining about before you started posting in this thread. The Steam forums can be a truly toxic and ignorant place, especially for games in early ac

Reply to My impression of Sorcerer King and 2 major suggestions not suggested yet. in Sorcerer King Discussion Elemental Forums

I agree with both points, but am a particular fan of the second. I really think the designers should go all-in on the idea of the under-dogs facing off against the evil empire. I think there are more interesting ways to do this then building your own empire. I like the idea of only one city, but instead of founding other towns, maybe expand the options on outposts so they are less spam-able, but more interesting and powerful. This game feels to me like it has some great ideas, but is still a

Party vs. Army in Sorcerer King Elemental Forums

I have really enjoyed this game so far and think it is doing some unique and interesting things. The best thing about it for me, and the thing that sets it apart from other 4xs, is the feeling of a small group of underdogs against an overwhelming evil force. This, I expect, will only be reinforced when the “gather your allies” aspect is included. This is especially powerful in the medieval fantasy genre as it is the central narrative around which most of the genre focuses. I think

Reply to Some notes and bugs on the Beta in Sorcerer King Elemental Forums

Some additional notes: Warg Riders' Unholy Howl appears to do nothing. Warg Riders' Battle Cry uses a Sovereign Spell use. I unlocked the heal ability on Keplin the Mage, but it is always crossed out, no matter how much mana I have.

Some notes and bugs on the Beta in Sorcerer King Elemental Forums

So far I've really enjoyed the beta. I have some big-picture ideas that will go in other posts, but here are some specific notes I made as I played: Typo in Keplin the Mage quest. The quest writing is amazing, especially “Hop Carefully.” When does auto combat happen and why? It would be helpful if we could have a screen that shows where logistics ar
