Reply to Victory Type: Peaceful Coexistence. in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

[quote who="drakkos137" reply="4" id="3553581"] Hmm. Lots of folks seem intent on adding canon races from various sci fi realms. "Peaceful coexistence" is a big theme there, particularly for trekkies. Next, Native cultures have plenty of experience with peaceful coexistence. If you crack open an unbiased history book, there's plenty to choose from. Its only colonial terror states that tend to use violence as a first, and only, so

Reply to Creating Custom Ships for Custom Factions in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Can we create, and use, a full set of custom ships for the races we create without having to mod? In other words, is there a way to save the ones we create in game, in the shipyard and attach them to our factions? If so, how do we "group" them together like the Terran, or Drengin ships? Thanks. [/quote] I would love to be able to do this in the Designer.

I play these type of games for "Sandbox," and "MP sandbox" I save campaigns for PNP Dungeon and Dragons. I don't care about lore in these games since they are "sandbox" which means I make up my own lore for each game I play.

Reply to Best 4X Strategy Game Ever in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

I'll have to go with 2nd best...Sorry Age of Wonders 3 is just that good. But until a 4X TBS Space game comes out with the Awesomeness of GS3's strategic game plus a true Tactical combat element Then GS3 will be the best 4x Space TBS game.

Thanks for helping restore my faith with the number 3. in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

Since MOO3 my view of the number 3 was that it was an unlucky number. Any game since MOO3 that had a third game in the series has sucked that was until Age of Wonders 3 came out that started to restore my faith in the number three. AOW3 vanilla game was pretty good and it's two DLC's has change the game from pretty good to Awesome, by far my favorite game. Now I said to myself could GS3 also be good as it's predecessors were (GS1 and GS2) or will

[quote who="easymodex" reply="2" id="3552944"] Yeah but that doesn't help organize the list of 15/20+ 'core' ships. If I'm looking for a medium-size kinetic ship, I wish I could simply filter or open a category or tab for "medium hulls" or for "kinetic". [/quote] Yea they need better organizational options in the editor. To be able to organize by hull size would be great.

Where do a put a picture into the game so that it can be selected when using the race editor? I want to put background pics as well as portraits. Some examples are Star Trek characters, Battlestar Galactica, B5, Personal pics of friends and family etc. Not a programmer so I'm trying to avoid messing with .XML files hence why I want to use in game editor as much as possible. Also sort of related how do I attach ship designs to a race. For example if I c

[quote who="RavenX" reply="17" id="3551046"] And all of this, this Entire thread, is the only problem I've ever really had with GalCiv as a game (series). The Lack Of Controllable battles. Games like Total War have controllable battles, and they also have a "auto-resolve", even though those battles have in depth controls and variables to take into account when auto-calculating. After Elemental I was Really Stoked for the next GalCiv because I figured they'd use the battle engine

Currently it is not all that fun to watch other than look at the light show. [/quote] I have to agree. Weren't we told that they were going to do something fun with the battle view? Allow us to at least give out fleets some commands before going into combat or something. Person

Reply to GalCiv III: Interesting stats in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

I don't get how anyone could play on a Small or tiny map. I play both Single and multiplayer and I always choose the largest map size. Which brings me to the question, when are the other large map sizes that are available in SP going to be opened to MP? Also I noticed that in MP pirates are disabled and I can't have mods (aka. player made races) very disappointing.

I usually have a theme when I play a Race and stick to it and make specialty ships as the tech presents itself if needed.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III - Beta 3 Changelog in GalCiv III Dev Journals Stardock Forums

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="22" id="3510254"] And yes Weller1980, the Battle Viewer is entirely optional. There is no tactical combat in GalCiv, the battle viewer (when it comes) is just to view the battle, it isn't to make decisions or "fight the battle" so pressing Auto-resolve or setting the options to always auto-resolve will give you exactly the same outcome as if you watched every battle.

I just wanted to float the idea and ask the Stardock guys to weigh in. The PC RPG ports of the two Baldurs Gate games and Icewind Dale seem to be doing well. Likewise, I really enjoy the direct-to-mobile CivRev2, though I can't and don't fault Stardock for not wanting to risk a similar venture .</
