Reply to Upgrading of ships ... in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Meglobob" reply="11" id="3528060"] If you add loads of micro management to ship upgrading, I am going to get my pitchfork out! [e digicons]#:([/e] [/quote] I have to agree. I don't think the idea of making maintaining and upgrading your fleet more labor intensive sounds fun, even if it is "realistic." In fact, the current system allows for some interesting tactics.

[quote who="mormegil" reply="85" id="3528089"] At the highest level, Godlike, we will give some bonuses, but we are trying to keep them simple, things like making the AI more efficient builders, or slightly more accurate.

I just want to say to be careful with the bonuses. My biggest frustration with FE:LH is the dodge bon

Reply to Multiplayer in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Paul has said that in addition to being easier to program, non-simultaneous turns is an intentional design decision because he doesn't ant there to be a twitch aspect of multiplayer (i.e. two player with colony ships in range of a planet so there is a race to click first to colonize it.)

[quote who="TheBalkanDog" reply="2" id="3528000"] You missed my point. If I see for example an enemy ship named "Defender M0 - 45" the number "45" gives me the information that he has build over 45 ships of this ship type. [/quote] yeah, sorry misread that dash as referring to M0-M45.

[quote who="Unknown_Hero" reply="46" id="3528019"] It's quite easy to arrive at this "counter-intuitive moment" with all the techs, starbases, research relics, ideology, etc., bonuses, even without realizing it. [/quote] Actually, I checked, and it is no longer possible at all. The best starbase module gives +20% manufacturing and multiple modules on a single starbase no longer stack. That means you need your planet to be in effected by 15 starbases to break even, and 16

Reply to Names of the produced ships in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

You do know that if you can see another ship, you can just click on it to see its exact specs right? Compared to that, the fact that you have a Defender M10, when your opponent doesn't know in what order you researched tech, gives literally no additional information.

Reply to Basic Production in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

There are two major things confusing you here: 1) Population no longer gives you 1:1 production it has diminishing returns, and so gives you more at low pop and less at high pop. 2) You are confusing production with manufacturing at times. Production is the base number that all your other numbers modify. So first we find your production which is (flatbonus+pop)*1+multiplier. In your case 4 for capital and +25% for approval: (4+.9)*1.25. This equals 6.125, so we see tha

Reply to Nice change to forums. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I personally find the new forums much more difficult to look at. Not sure why, but when I'm looking at the forum now it feels like my eyes are straining. I think it is the increased contrast between the black and grey background.

[quote who="Unknown_Hero" reply="39" id="3527750"] Why bother with all the different improvements, build 1 or 2 farms so that your population can reach at least 50B Pop, fill the rest with factories, and then play with the Research Project, the Economic Stimulus and the Panet/Shipyard slider. This will become rapidly boring. [/quote] Without any science or wealth buildings, this is very inefficient. In order to out perform pure research/wealth worlds, you need to build

Reply to Sensor ships need a nerf? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I actually think that having dedicated sensor ships so your military ships don't need sensors is strategically interesting, especially because those ships will be slow and vulnerable so you either have to dedicate resources to protect them or leave them as easy targets. I do think there should be some DR or something on sensors though because you don't need that many ships to uncover all of the smaller map sizes atm.

Elevation Foundation is a 1 per faction building. The bug is that it lets you start building it on multiple worlds. You can't build any more once you've built one.

Reply to Starbases // Shipyards defending planets from Transport if planet is in their influence. in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

There are no weapons in GCIII that can fire from one hex to another, so as long as a ship doesn't enter the actual tile of a starbase or shipyard it is staying out of range of their weapons.

Reply to Quick feedback (mostly negative) in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

The information on this screen is actually very clear if you know how to read it. The top right corner shows the bonuses (if any) if the currently selected tile. In this case it is relevant that this tile gives +2 levels to approval buildings. This makes your building level 2 which is also shown on the map its self and in the tool tip. This building produces +2 morale base and another +2 because it is level 2 (due to the tile bonus) for a total of +4 morale. It also gives +1 level to any adja

Reply to How do you beeline tech? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The problem with bee-lining in the way they have the trees set up is that you are likely you hit one of the techs where you have a choice of three, so it's not so simple as automatically going through all the prereqs to get to the tech you want.

Reply to Customizing auto-generated ship models for my civilization. in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

From what Paul said in the previous stream it sounds like custom blueprints will not be in in gold, but likely an early patch or dlc. @BlackMerlin, this would I think be something that you would want to do through modding, as you probably want them to have a unique engineering tree that would give their smaller ships some advantages. You could leave medium+ hulls completely out of their tree. You could also mod their blueprints so they wouldn't have and auto-generated ships bigger

Reply to 20150227 Dev Stream News "Disappointing", says one Founder in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

One of the things Brad has talked about is that the data-mining enabled by steam will allow AI to learn from the best human players. He mentioned that previously he could only program the AI to play as well as he could play, but now he can make it play as well as the best players. The idea of chess AI is not completely inapplicable either as one of the main strengths of chess AI is that it has a huge bank of previous games in its memory, and so can look at a situation and find the same or an

Reply to 20150227 Dev Stream News "Disappointing", says one Founder in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

This thread has exploded, but I'd like to point out that in the stream he said that the normal AI in Beta 5 will play with the same rules as the player. I don't think they said that that was how it would be at gold. Which, of course is not to say that the AI will be good enough at gold to justify it being set above normal, but I'm just throwing it out there for accuracy's sake.
