[quote who="baldbill46" reply="12" id="3411746"] I do not want any RTS, that was never part of either GCI or II. I don't like click fests, I would rather just allow the computer to take care of combat. I like to do the colony management, I like creating the ships, choosing what to research. I like the turn based awesomeness that this game represents. RTS should not be part of this game in any form. Sorry, I am old school in games, I feel like there are soooo many cl

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="38" id="3411692"] Those who like the idea of designing carriers and seeing carriers in action in fleet battles I think will be happy.

Reply to What would you like to see in GC3 (your perfect 4x star game) in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Well, since it's a wish list, I'd like to start with Carriers or some sort of fighter carrying modules. The fighters can be recoverable up to a point, but when your pilots are all dead, you have to go get some pop off of a planet to replenish them. That, and the materials to rebuild the fighters.

Reply to Fighters/Drones, Command modules and carriers in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Carriers or carrier modules would fit nicely into the strategic flavor of GalCiv. As long as you don't have to control each one during the fight, I think it would be a good addition. Using them sparingly and at the right time would probably be the key to successful deployment. I can't see their value late game, but they'd work mid game in some circumstances.

Reply to Did GC2 have a "list of rally points" in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I used rally points quite extensively in GalCiv2 and would like to see it expanded. A rally point list would be nice. Perhaps using rally points and planets as waypoints would be a nice addition too.

Just because you disagree with people it doesn't make them trolls. Get over yourself. And Zydor only says that because it's true and appropriate. That comment was directed at Surge in case it wasn't clear.

Bummer. You'll probably have to open a ticket with Stardock Support. There's a thread for activations in the GalCiv2 forums that seems to get attention from Stardock, but there hasn't been a post there since last year. https://forums.galciv2.com/122873/page/15/#3301976 It's worth a try anyway.

I'm pretty sure that Impulse is dead. You can probably find your games and updates on the Stardock support site. https://store.stardock.com/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/myaccount After you log in using the email and password associated with the game, you can go to My Downloads. It should be listed there with the keys and all. I assume that the updates are attached to the downloads.

I don't know why it's not showing. It meets the avatar requirements (max 100x100 pixels and 40kb, jpg or png). Yours is 84 x 100, 6 kb and is a jpg.

You might be waiting till Monday for a fix, but I'd bet you half a peach that they'll get it soon after. There's no direct route

[quote who="Seilore" reply="6" id="3409815"] Some of you I think misread my post, I was saying they averted the option to pay to win, they did this by offering the game upfront as a complete game. Now the second question I posted had to do with expansion packs (a new twist to the game) not DLC's (extra features to game). To me they are two different things. DLC's tend to give the end user an advantage against other players, and with multi

This is going way off topic. The answer was given by Frogboy and the matter is essentially closed. If you want to talk about pirating software, perhaps a new thread would be best.

Reply to multiplayer needs real time??? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

RT is not needed for MP. The FAQ has already addressed this. The game will be turn based. Some sort of asynchronous play will be included for multiplayer. Stardock has it figured out, so the answer to your question is "yes". The answer to your post title, however, is "no".

Reply to Fighter Carrier in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

As long as fighters and carrier fighting can be autoresolved, I think they'd be an excellent addition to the GalCiv universe. A carrier might be relatively weak compared to a full blown battleship and it would cost significantly more, but it would have its niche for harassment and attrition. There are other ways to go about this, but a carrier would be a loophole to the logistics limit. Perhaps in the mid game when economy is starting to recover, but logistics tech is

[quote who="mormegil" reply="11" id="3408927"] I am loving this thread. First off, as the designer, this is perhaps my biggest challenge.

Reply to Tactical combat. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

There are a lot of comparisons between MOO and GalCiv. GalCiv is better than Master of Orion and I'm sure Brad will make sure that combat doesn't detract from the strategy of the game. Hopefully, tactical combat will be kept to a minimum if it's included at all. I can see giving the fleets in general a strategy for engagement, perhaps a policy type thing. But realtime control of fleets, stacks or what have you would suck, especially in the end game. &nbsp

Reply to Ship Building in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I like the shipbuilding part of the game. Automatically upgrading as new weapons become available can get expensive and economy plays a significant part in GalCiv. I can leave older weapons on ships as long as they're still useful. The ships also don't need to stop and upgrade for x turns, depending on their location. This is particularly important when a mixed fleet has to be in a particular area at a specific time or if you're playing cat and mou

Reply to [Suggestion] Multiplayer Implementation in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Tridus" reply="29" id="3407821"] I'm just hoping it has coop play. That is the best form of multiplayer for a game like this, as it doesn't work against the single player part at all. Get a couple of friends, crank up the difficulty, and try to win. Competitive multiplayer isn't as well suited to the genre, and while some games have made it work, they're really doing it in a different modes or with special rules (along with really small maps).<br /

[quote quoting="post"] This is a really simple one. The long rant is below. PUT MORE STUFF IN SPACE. In GC2 the map was basically empty and immutable - there were a total of 5 objects: Suns, planets, asteroids, anomalies and ships, 3 of which were completely static(excluding the gimicky death star). And yet on the scales GC purports to operate, there is SO MUCH STUFF in space. Nebulas
