Reply to Civ Starting Proximity in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="charon2112" reply="2" id="3478944"] You could adjust this by just including less civs.[/quote] That's a different thing. What I'm thinking is being able to have a huge galaxy, but all the civs start bunched up and you have to choose whether to fight it out or expand away from the other civs. Or the ability to put all the civs at the edges of the map so they have some time to establish themselves relative to the size of map and number of civs.

Reply to Civ Starting Proximity in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote]I am concerned this will often force a more military-focused game start.[/quote] Shouldn't this be the case when you start next to the Drengin? To me, what you've shown is that if you start on the smallest map crowded with civs and choose the civ designed to have an early military advantage, you have about a 50/50 chance of being able to dominate 1 other civ early. It seems to me that that's working as intended, especially if you have to wait until the next age to a

Reply to Does fame actually work? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

For me, the problem is not that we get too many champions, but that champions don't have a big enough impact on the game. The obvious culprit in my eyes is the xp gimping for armies with multiple champions. I'd love to be able to have multiple champs in an army and then getting a new one would actually feel like an important reward. I know they must've felt that multiple champion armies were too powerful; but if that's so, why are henchmen in the game?

Reply to Hexes? Really? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

While using real distance as OP suggests would be awesome, it is much more complicated. As long as we have a grid I much prefer hex to square for all the reasons others have already mentioned. Also, especially in a space strategy game I think the hexes just look so much better.

There are isolated instances of very small text like current research on the main screen and production categories on the planet screen, and I agree with trims2u that all-caps is overused; but honestly even those things would have never occurred to m

Reply to v1.6 Let's Play Request in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I'm all for more streams, but the idea that it would be a good forum for feedback for 1.7 is a bit misguided I think. For one thing, hopefully most of what will be in 1.7 has already been decided and at this point there is mainly just QA to be done. Also, we already have this forum which is a wonderful place for posting feedback and ideas about the game which invites extensive discussion by the community.

Reply to 0.30 Starports are extremely vulnerable. in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I didn't read all of every post in this thread because there are many very long ones, so I apologize if I am rehashing something I missed while skimming: I think it is a good thing that starports are defenseless, they don't take that much effort to defend. The are also very cheap to build, so having your starport destroyed shouldn't set you back that much. That said, there are some legitimate concerns about the current design that I have seen raised. One is that defending

Reply to Ereog's Tower in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I guess I've never given it much thought. I often build Ereog's tower in a fortress or even a town because the research and mana producing buildings are usually a priority for me. I've never felt like it didn't fit that I was able to build them in non-conclaves, same thing with the towers that lead to the spell of making. I guess the justification in my head was always that these are major works of your civ and not buildings that are specific to a magic/knowledge based city. I

Reply to What's your starting tech? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Like many have said, the 3 starting civ techs, leatherworking, and shard harvesting are usually my first 5, though I usually play a sov with atunement which decreases the need for shard harvesting a bit. Usually I get the bell tower first because I hate unrest.

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="4" id="3475050"] Hmmm...[/quote] Thought provoking post DARCA. Anyway, this is an interesting idea. Paul has said they have big plans for espionage, which is why it won't be in the base game. I'd be interested to know what they are thinking. I completely agree that espionage is often too passive, and usually doesn't pay off for the resources required. I like the idea of having your spies working toward specific goa

Reply to Terraforming (Some) Dead Worlds in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

From what has been said in dev streams, it sounds like the current plan is 2 kinds of mine-able planets (gas giants and small, rocky planets similar to Mercury) Paul said this outright last week. I also think some of the things he has said in the past suggest terraforming in the form of unlock-able planet types like we saw in GalCiv 2. I think this is a good move. Habitable plants should be rare, but with some work more should be habitable, and many others should be exploitable. Personally, I

That is one of the fun things about a future setting: we get to write the rules, because we have no idea what the rules will actually be

Reply to Discussion about making the Dead a competitive faction in LH Modding Elemental Forums

I'm curious as to exactly what about them you find non-competitive, as I have found them to be among the most powerful factions. Free Units, Morrigan's Call, and Undying Curse are all monster bonuses. Not having to worry about food gives them different and often better options for prime city cites. They have a huge military advantage early due to not being restricted as to how many early units they can build, and mid to late game Sions with Undying Curse are probably the best units in

I have to say that golems are one of my big disappointments in this game. Juggs have a few different interesting builds due to the exclusive perks they get. A few more interesting perks to choose from would go a long way toward making golems as cool as they should be.
