Reply to Are you polishing? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="aerez4546" reply="13" id="3684571"] I think this is beginning to tread upon the dangerous grounds where gaming companies end up tanking and going out of business. Just take a long hard thought about the sentence "To pay for fixes, you need DLCs or a Subscription model so that there is financial incentive to continue to work on the project." When enough of your customer base begins to realize you are selling them broken f****** s***, and you expect them to buy more broken f***

os2wiz, they don't have to consult you. I mean, nobody consulted me about the planetary production wheel and I thank God frogboy was of the same view as mine - that it was gamey and unrealistic and therefore the AI wasn't programmed to use it so eventually it got thrown out. As frogboy's said on several occasions this is his game. I agree that it should be an option. If you want to trade with/talk to a minor civ, a simple "Engage With Minor Civilizations" option would d

What's the point in Minor Civilizations, really, now you have Mercenaries that can actually work for you? Since Galactic Civilizations II, they've only existed so you can get a few bucks out of them and then when you're tired of that, to invade and kill to get their ONE CLASS 16 PLANET because that's all they ever did. Sit in their home world. Okay, in GalCiv 2 you could chat, but what did that actually mean ie accomplish? It's like Trinidad & To

Reply to Make Trade More Valuable in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Seabrook" reply="8" id="3682356"] Also to add about trade routes. Races should be able to trade within their own empire. If players play on smaller galaxy sizes and few races they miss out on the extra potential income from trading. Move a freighter into one of your planets, special button "Create trade route" select destination planet. [/quote] I don't see the point of this at all.

Agree with Auramagma - I'd rather a game have three feature done well that you take time to master over a seven feature game where all the features are simple ie too much "If I do A then B, take option 7 then result 13 happens every time no matter my Food Production/Diplomatic status with whoever", not "I could pick choice A but because I picked 7 earlier which resulted in the Drengin did that then if I pick A and...War leads to Death leads to the Losing Screen!

AU, if this is how you talk about something you like.... I'd hate to see a post about a game you hated. Trading - do you think there should be more like a market value for (whatever) resource that your AI race tells you before you click how many you're prepared to sell? (ie on the Trade Screen, beside each resource you have is something that says "Antimatter 10-12bc", so you know you'll get a minimum 10bc per antimatter but could get 12bc with a bit of, uh, "convincin

Reply to true EXploration (what it could be but isnt) in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

There'd have to be a major rethink about how resources are used in buildings, ships and so on, though. IE having a resource requirement for something needed early game, obviously it's a bit unfair if it doesn't pop up for 50-75 turns. I do think that resources that are used for Galactic Wonders could maybe take a long time to be "discovered" ie they might be on your home planet, but you have to go a certain way along the tech tree to be able to mine it. <p

[quote who="DreadDendy" reply="13" id="3677709"] Decommissioned ships refund their administration points and legions. But not in the case if Survey (for example) ship destroyed in battle. Is it OK? [/quote] To be fair, DreadDendy, you can't say a ship has been decommissioned if it's been destroyed. If it's been decommissioned, that's your decision, if it's been destroyed, that's because your opponent killed it.

delwyn1 raises a fair point: How much control will you have to make Galactic Civilizations III run the way you want it to? For me, at this point, mercaneries are pretty irrelevant so I'd like to be able to, at the Game Setup screen (or whatever it's called), set Merceneries to None or at least Rare. It doesn't really bother me that one of my ships finds a Bazaar by Round 25-or-so but going through the obligitary "what would you like to buy"/"i'm not interested yet" (n

Don't know how new this bug is as I've never encountered it before, but I got not one but two Epimetheus Pollens. Which I thought was great, because it helps build the Galactic Intelligence Agency. Then, as it's a One Per Colony resource, I couldn't mine the second one. I'm pleased to get two resources on my home planet, but they shouldn't be the same....

Reply to In Crusade, will we be able to inspect the planet before picking a colonizing event? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Simple solution: make the points allocation of the Colonizing Event less - ie if you choose to let the population work in the mines and get radiation sickness and die because, "How many times do I have to tell you? People are a renewable resource.", you still get points in the Malevolent tree, but not so many as you would in a later decision where you know all you need to make that decision? To be fair, it's never really bothered me either way.

Communication hasn't been as "on to it" as I'd like from frogboy and co but from reading the Discord chat, there's been lots of doing/undoing/redoing going on so obviously that takes priority: I'd rather they spent time putting out the fire rather than sending us all a five paragraph release that says "CRUSADE IS ON FIRE!" in great detail and all nice articulate-like. Looking forward to May 4! Which will be May 5 for us Kiwi folks, I presume....

I joined discord and asked once or twice for a key but when I started reading about the numbers of/severity of bugs and the number of builds that were being done I mentally applauded all the Founders who were doing the testing and said "there but for the grace of God go I.."

Reply to GC3 Founders: Crusade Preview in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

jirkaesch, I still think we're the first people who'd be told. I'm starting to wonder if maybe Stardock are realising their fancy new Citizen system causes more issues than it solves - or some other major issue has arisen. Surely, if it was just a minor bug/balance/stability fixing issue, we'd have heard from the inner sanctum by now? I hope - and largely expect - I'm wrong about any major issues but this quietness is quiet. Too quiet.
