Reply to What is better game GC2 or GC3 in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

Galciv 3 over all is better: 1) Ship Designer is much better in 3 than in two except it needs better ways to organize ships and ship hulls like maybe an option to organize by class etc. Also would be cool to be able to copy a design in the designer and PLEASE add a way to delete hulls in the designer. 2) The Battle Movie is better as well as having the ship class system. 3) Bigger maps - Still waiting the Immense map to be activated in Multiplay

Reply to New Master of Orion game is coming in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

[quote who="KD7BCH" reply="2" id="3562289"] Would be nice to see but Gal Civ far outdoes any of the Master of Orion 2 or 3. The only thing Master of Orion has going for it is it is about as close to balanced in terms of how you spend your time between turns and how long you need your turns to be to be entertaining as you can get. [/quote] And it had tactical combat which I really wish GalCiv 3 would of had. If it is as good as MOO2 but updated to moder

[quote who="joeball123" reply="4" id="3561672"] Also be aware that the greater the fraction of planetary production you sacrifice to get the project bonus, the smaller the base value that the project bonus acts upon becomes. Getting a 10% bonus to colony income when 99% of the colony's production goes to wealth is significantly better than getting a 20% income bonus when only 70% of the colony's production goes to wealth. High income bonuses on the planet additionally greatly deg

[quote who="dansiegel30" reply="2" id="3560450"] Can it be any planet? Can you therefore use colony ships as population "transports"? I've lost a lot of sweet planets, waiting to gain enough pop for a full load. Perhaps just send one for now, but always have a "transport colony" ship sending out pop later?

Reply to READ THIS, DEVELOPERS: New Colonies Should Have Increasing Maintenance Costs Using a Logistic Function Scaled to Map Size in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

Well how about a Colony Logistic stat. When you start based on map size you will have a base number which can improve with Tech and special building or even better special Space Station modules. For example you could have a base Colony Logistic stat of 50 on a Gigantic. And each planets rating subtracts from this (example. 16 (paradise) would Colony Logistic stat of 16 on so on) Once your at the your max then any colonies above that could add penalties such

[quote who="Seilore" reply="24" id="3560160"] Actually I consider a 50 faction game a little silly. The game was designed to allow the very best systems to handle 100 factions but imo it was never intended for anyone to actually play such a ridiculous game on a regular basis.

You forgot to add that when you select the “Request Constructor” button that it will only use the base constructor for your race and not use any others. So if you obsolete the base constructor then the button will no longer work even though you may have another constructor design.

[quote who="marigoldran" reply="3" id="3559391"] Colonizing 15 planets on one of the larger maps is easy as heck. You can easily get 6 new colonies and a shipyard on each one by turn 9. The difficulty is that you need planetary invasion tech to actually invade planets. Sort of makes sense, but I thought that as long as you had the troop transport ships then that's all you need.

I usually play with 56 races (this is currently all the races I have in the game but will add more) plus maxed out minor races on a Immense map (I don't play on map sizes smaller than Immense unless I'm playing MP and that is only because that is the largest size we are currently allowed to play is Huge. It is really too small) and it plays great. At least until the 500 to 800 turns when the game seems to crap out but it does this no matter how many opponents are in th

[quote who="JTS80" reply="2" id="3558476"] Very good suggestions. The "no other starbases within x hexes" rule was introduced to avoid "starbase spamming", i.e. one Starbase gives you 10% production bonus, but if you plaster all the area around your planet with starbases, you get 200-500% bonus. This would be a tactic advanced players would tend to use, and to avoid it, the "one starbase" rule applies. [/quote] Ok then that is understandable and sin
