Reply to Steam or No Steam? in Ashes of the Singularity GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Raevn" reply="4" id="3529676"] You don't legally own any games in your Steam account. If you read the steam EULA, you are buying the game licenses on behalf of Valve, who then own them, but make them available to your account. [/quote] This is true for all software, not just Steam. If you are going to fault Steam for near proforma EULA, you might as well fault all software. Secondly, courts have maintained that EULA are no binding (as no one re

Reply to What's with sequel's having to be "ALL NEW"? in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

Call me crazy, but I think the changes made in Civ:BE are great. While I wouldn't want to see them in a "traditional" Civ game, they do make the gameplay less linear. There are also more unknowns on how your opponents are doing. It becomes less of a race to build the wonders, because your opponents could be going on a completely different tech track. As other have said, people ALWAYS complain when the new civ comes out. It gets old. It must b

For me, Steam is an enhancement. I like the in-game "Shift-Tab" overlay. I like being able to chat with friends and get updates as they sign on and launch new games. I like my friends to be able to see what I am playing. I like how Steam makes it easy to invite friends to join into your game and vice-versa. I like having all of time games in one convenient library. I like being notified when new content is available for my game. I like Steam sale

[quote who="Echelion" reply="17" id="3409005"] If you wanna keep a design for re-use save it as a template with or without components and if you dont want to replace everything there a box to untick in the options menu that keeps components on the designs when you go to upgrade them.

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

My friends and I play a regular game of Civ V online. I really hope multiplayer works similar to that so we can easily transition. I think online multiplayer need to be optimized to minimize the amount of time I sit there waiting to take my turn. Civ V does this great with simultaneous turns. Also, a save feature is a must for multiplayer. It is unreasonable to expect marathon play sessions all the time.
