Reply to Pay to Win averted in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="4" id="3409634"] pay to win?[/quote] pay to win i don't think would work in a strategy game the general concept in pay to win games usually rpgs is that you can buy equipment/items for your character with real cash that's better then anything anyone else could get who doesn't pay thus making you overpowered in comparison the only way i could see this happening in a strategy game is if they had custom races with better stats/te

[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="19" id="3408860"] Quoting Nikioko, reply 11 Oh no. I hoped so much that the map would be 3D this time that I would have accepted both cube boxes or truncated octahedra. But it is once again 2D. This is not Civilization which is bound to a planet's surface. This is a game set in open space and therefore there is a third dimension. The Universe does not have 3 dimensions, nor does it have only 4, it has 10 or&

It is still a turn based strategy. If it comes down to who can click the fastest to get a particular goal, or making the difference between the loss of a fleet and a crippling blow to your enemy, then I consider that as a strategical mistake on your part

what about splitting turns into phases 1) phase one- actual turn (all other players on phase 3) you move all your ships invade planets. no building ships choosing research or choosing improvements 2) phase 2 instant alerts ships built planetary improvements built research projects completed phase 3 (inactive) during this all other players are completing their phase 1/2</

Reply to improvements to starbase upgrades? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I had a list for starbases on the GCII forums some of the ideas included partial build ques- a constructor was necessary for Battle Stations I but BS II-V could be upgraded by the starbase taking a portion of nearby trade routes/planetary production value some form of ranged attack - what good was investing in an all powerful starbase if I just ignored it some form of barrier - if i go to war with a race my controlled starbases should be able to block ships of

Reply to Map hexes in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

while the concept of a 3d map is cool and ill admit I've thought about it from time to time i think it would be completely impractical in any form of UI and would probably need some kind of 3d interface like the occulus rift or holograms it might be able to work in the small scale such as a battle viewer or combat tactical map

Reply to The galaxy after Twilight of the Arnor in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Cant wait to hear more about Gal-Civ 3 I have a few ideas id like to throw out first of all some form of map wrap that could be turned on or off at the map options screen. funny I'm not really sure if i like this idea or not. Corners and edges give distinct tactical advantages and disadvantages, so nullifying this with a map wrap would change the flavor of the game. Second, Permanent wormholes. Third I found star bases really annoying to upgr
