Graphical bug in Drengin tech tree in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I was playing as the Drengin and opened up the warfare tech tree and noticed that the line marking where the Age of War begins was in the wrong spot. The other trees were correct, and in a new game the warfare tree was correct and later in the same game the warfare tree was correct again. I was in the Age of War when I noticed the bug. Here is the correct tree: and here i

Reply to Personalisation of colonies in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

There are a lot of polish points that could make this game feel a little less like playing a spreadsheet. You have some good ideas. I think periodic planetary events tied to how you are governing them would be a great addition. I like the idea of tying this into the ideology tree, so the main thing dictating your ideology would be how you run your empire, rather then how you expand your empire. I think it would be fun to deal with workers on factory planets unionizing, or scientists on resear

My specialty buildings are frequently getting adjacency bonuses worth more then their base value. Farms' adjacency bonus is pretty mild (+.5 food per level), I have not noticed a food adjacency bonus of more then 2. Higher level farms have an influence bonus instead of a population bonus. I'm not sure

Reply to Starbases in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Life support currently stinks in GCIII, starbases are the easiest and cheapest way to attack an opponent who is too far away. The AI does like to attack starbases, so be sure to defend them.

[quote]This means it will always be better to increase the Population. [/quote] Blatantly wrong. The best approach is to balance population with manufacturing/wealth/research buildings. It's a cost-efficiency problem (with the price being the space on your planet). As you build more farms factories/labs/markets become more effective, and vice-versa. Also, farms' benefits are delayed, while factories/labs/markets give an immediate benefit. I have played a gam

[quote who="Seilore" reply="25" id="3488906"] So after watching the beginning of the stream today, I see that Beta .41.2 is a limited release for a select group of people. I understand that most of the fixes are for people using laptops or integrated graphics, however, there are some extras put in there as well. Why are not people the are Founders Elite selected or how were people selected for this Beta? If anyone can access it than what is the beta access code for it,

Reply to Defending systems with starports in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

If your fleet can beat theirs, then defend your planet, attack the ships once they are in range, and then rebuild the shipyard. If your fleet can't beat theirs, but you have another planet reasonably near-by, then defend the shipyard, link it to another planet and beef up your fleet to take back your planet. If your fleet can't beat theirs and there is no planet near enough to contribute to your shipyard, you are boned. This problem is not unique to GS3 though, any time you ha

Reply to Auto-upgrade and components with a higher mass than those they replace in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Yeah, the specializations will help you, but I'm comparing it to other tech trees that also get similar bonuses. Environmental support is a major upgrade over life support but the rest are very minor upgrades. I guess having different sizes does help you hit your max mass exactly, but as a matter of opportunity cost, I think it's very hard to justify researching support over other tech lines.

Tourism in GalCiv II was basically galactic population x your % if galactic influence. If it is the same in GalCiv III, then in addition the the tourism improvements, which are in Beta 1 and buildable, you can increase your tourism by increasing your influence.

[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="6" id="3488757"] 1) Base movement of units in GalCic3 is now between 3-5 tiles a turn, depending on race. In GalCiv2 it was less. [/quote] Actually base movement is 2. Drengin and Terrans have the Fast +1 trait increasing it to 3, the Alterians have the fast+2 trait making it 4. 2 was also the base move in GalCiv2.

Reply to Auto-upgrade and components with a higher mass than those they replace in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

This is a bit off your topic, but it is related: Support barely gets better as you research it, and it gets bigger which makes it more inconvenient to fit with other components. By effect/mass ratio after environmental support, which is a sizable 50% increase over life support, the next 3 upgrades are 7%, 4%, and 3% better then their previous version. As a point of comparison, the first 3 sensor improvements are 33%, 20%, and 46% better then their predecessor and the first four beam upgrades

[quote]1) growth and food - so I seem to have noticed a planets population tops out at how much food you produce (8 food means you pop cap is 8). Does growth have a base rate? What affects it besides improvments? When I mouse over growth it doesn't give information like other traits. Population does seem to affect a planets ability to produce research, manufacturing, etc but no great tooltip to explain the ratio or % [/quote] I'm not sure, but I think that the diffe
