[quote]maybe the govern could tell the ship to launch with so many people???.[/quote] I am confused by your OP in that governors don't launch ships, you have to do it manually. When you do you get a dialogue box labelled "Load Ship" which does exactly what you are talking about. It has a slider where you can load your ship with anywhere to .5 bil your colony ship's max capacity. [quote]Also maybe the govern could target the next available Planet? [/quote]</p

[quote who="NaytchSG" reply="20" id="3469136"]Quenching Rain vs Fire School Blast Furnace vs. Water School[/quote] These 2 already exist as Protection from Cold and Protection from Fire. I don't think the others are necessary because there is very little earth damage in the game and lightning avoiding the common resistances available against fire and cold is a major characteristic of that form of damage.

[quote who="Hellions" reply="52" id="3468359"] The problem is easy to pinpoint. Sventho is one of the 6 champions included in the ChampionBonanzaDLC02.xml file which will only work properly if you have the Quest Pack DLC installed (see the instructions). The missing "ninja animation pack" that comes with the DLC is what's causing the issue in this case.[/quote] Thanks, I guess that's what I get for skimming the instructions and not reading something labeled "IM

I love some of those proposed spells, especially mirror image and brainwash. Am I understanding correctly that mindblast would be single target and to 1 damage to a group of 1 and 36 to a group of 6? This seems a bit weak unless it is cheap, and I'm not sure that it is something that really feels like it is missing from the current group of spells. The anti-multiple champion spells also seem like they would rarely if every be used. Here are some spells I would be i

Reply to Changing difficulty mid-campaign in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I think this type of rubber-banding sounds really interesting, especially if the AI difficulty is determined primarily by how the AI plays rather than by cheats and bonuses. That being said, When you hit that tipping-point where you know you are going to win, it may be tough to raise the difficulty enough without it feeling really unfair to the player.

[DLC Suggestion] Expanded Magic in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

This may go beyond the scope of what qualifies as DLC and into the realm of expansion, but in looking at ways to tweak the game, an expanded magic system would be great. More and more interesting spells, spell combos, and another magic-using hero-class or two would be great. I personally would love to see the current mage class split into evoker and summoner and then another support or close-range type mage added.

Reply to Grr. Need a Founders program in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

My favorite thing about being a GalCiv III founder is feeling like I get to see the process of development and have some small input in direction. GalCiv II is one of my favorite games of all time, and so far III just seems to be a better version of it, which makes me super happy. There are very few developers that do a better job of communicating with their community (RIOT is the only other one I've seen that even comes close) and that really helps to forge a solid, devoted fan-base.

Reply to Nooo! Stream delayed. Welcome to game dev, everyone! in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

I loved the GalCiv II ship editor, but there was always one minor annoyance: Because the components leveled up incrementally, each time I developed a new level of weapon, engine, miniaturization, etc. I would need to go in and see if I could slightly upgrade my ships. This would result in a lot of very small variations on ship designs and a lot of clutter in the building window. Do you have any ideas to help make fewer iterations of ships make more sense? One idea: Players can

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="12" id="3459630"] What is the point of having the supply line, if you can go outside of it. I found when I set my ships to explore randomly, I got a ship 4-6 hexes away from their supply line. That is a huge difference. I don't mind they leave the supply range, but they should end in the supply range when finished with the turn, otherwise it should be a failed path. I would say this is NOT working as intended, but a very low priority issue.[/quote

Reply to DARCA1213's honest opinion for 0.30 in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Transports can be as fast as you want them to be. If you use the cargo hulls, there is plenty of room for troop modules and engines. Then put them in a fleet and the fleet will protect them. I'm sure there would be room on a transport for a carrier mod or other weapons, but because transports are consumed when they invade, it's usually not a wise use of you resources. With the roles that have been talked about for fleets, I'm guessing that any ships you set to the support role wil

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="58" id="3460284"] We have carriers and shipyards* all shortening the distance to enemy territory. I imagine this all to be useless unless the transports can be in carriers too. If they aren't then there will be lag between fleets and transports still. (that's bad.)

Reply to Feeding thy Cognitive Beast in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I like the way you're thinking, though I think I disagree on many of the specifics. 1) Seems like a lot of what you (and many others) have suggested for dead planets are either covered by asteroids or starbases. I personally like the useless planets. For me it helps the feel of the game because it makes the habitable planets seem that much more special when you find them. That being said, I think that some dead planets will be incorporated into the strategic resource system they w

Reply to Restriction On Human Players To 4? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="DarkLunaPhantom" reply="4" id="3459422"] Why is the limit for human players so low?[/quote] Not speaking out of any knowledge, but I'm guessing the limit is there because waiting for more than 3 other players to take their turns makes the game too slow. Even with three, you could easily be talking 30min or more between turns. Maybe a warning rather than a hard cap would be a better approach though, so those that are willing to deal with that kind of pacing can.</
