Is ANNO one of those Facebook games? Mafia Wars was my last Facebook game, but there was another MMO I remember getting into once upon a time. That's right, Evony. We played it as a team and the bots finally got us. I felt like setting up bots was giving too much of my life away to a game. We did pretty well against them for a while though. I liked the Yor in DA. In TotA on suicidal, the Torians are incredibly powerful. That super breeder abilit

Well, that was going to be my last game for a while. But then my wife kinda goaded me into upping the difficulty to suicidal. So now there's a new game in progress. I really like the unique tech trees. I'm usually top dog on tech, but that's not easy to do on suicidal. The Torians are on top of everything by a wide margin and I've been buying trade goods from them. I've been threatened several times by the evil races,

Reply to Refitting of ships in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It can take an extreme amount of time to upgrade in GalCiv2 if you're far away from a planet or starbase. I don't remember if the max is 133 or 233 weeks, but either way, it makes upgrading impractical. Your ship will be at 1 hp the whole time. If your ship is outside of its movement range, you can run into this. There are several ways you can find your ship outside of its movement range. I come across it most often when I buy a ship from an AI.

Reply to Multiple monitors in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Multiple monitor support would be great! Hopefully, we'll be able to open several windows across several monitors. I can see having one screen locked to the main map and maybe 3 others with espionage, the planet control list and a final one bouncing between the ship list and any other that I might need. It would be nice to work undocked like Jim above me says if it's a fewer than 4 monitor setup. :)

Have fun with it, Neilo. I'm doing a game on the next difficulty up from crippling. I forget what it said, but it might be painful. It's been at the stage where I could just get alliances with the remaining AIs, but I'm trying to reach a military victory. I have to buy 4 huge ships each turn to avoid the economic penalty and my military is growing beyond usefulness. I'll try to stick it out for the military victory. No promi

Some sort of carrier or carrier like device is hinted at in Brad's comment referenced by Tridus above. Luckily, he also says something to the effect that it won't devolve into a tactical shoot 'em up. I'm looking forward to seeing what's in there. :)

It looks like a Firefox problem. They're downloading as .htm files in Firefox if I double click or right click/save as. They're downloading correctly in Chrome, though. With Firefox, I just renamed the extensions back to the original and they work.

Yeah, more major races on a massive map would be nice. Maybe 15 or 20? Who knows? Stardock might have something up their sleeve that could surprise us. Fingers crossed. :)

I'll probably name mine after my wife. I might not tell her for a while though. $100.00 doesn't exactly show up on the radar, but she might not like that I bought something that doesn't exist yet. [e digicons]:X[/e] Maybe I'll let her know when the alpha is out. [e digicons]O:)[/e]

[quote who="jrdufour" reply="62" id="3416840"] I honestly don't care that much about how 'accurate' certain star colors are. if you want realism go play some simulator game. Still, there is the argument that stars unlike our own exist in a different galactic super-cluster beyond the (current) visible range of telescopes. Or that Galciv3 takes place in a different universe where the laws of physics are close, but different enough from ours t

Whether it's green/purple stars or sound you could also argue light/warp speed.

Reply to Retarded AI behaviour in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm thinking that the behavior is related to the game difficulty setting. If you have the AI set to "Normal" in TotA, it's a rather disappointing adversary. I mentioned something like that in our GalCiv2 team forums. Bumping the AI to "Intelligent" helps a lot and they start playing to win. That would be the "Tough" setting if you'd like to go back and try again. It's still not as aggressive as I'm accustomed to, so I'll be bumping the difficulty up
