Reply to The New "Prototype Feedback" in the Vault! in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

Personally I would just have the "fluff data" there, I like the measurement units. They also already have them programmed and the suggestion was to have them taken out. Ultimately it wont break or make the game obviously but notice how this whole thread has been taken over by this arguably petty debate? So for some obscure reason it seems that some people like them. I think a screen full of numbers is easier to look at with the measurement units, especially when al

Reply to how is feedback processed? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Back during the time of FE beta there was a post template for bug reporting, with a forum section for that. Basically you make a post with a standardized title that identifies it clearly as a bug report for version x. You write a description on how the bug happened and include save game and that`s it. I expect there will be the same once the GalCiv III alpha is out. Reporting bugs or problems in the most formalized and concise manner makes their job easier and is probably

In your average game at least. I expect you to fill what is the most relevant to your goals for the game.

I like big maps and big tech trees in theory. But In practice I never researched a full tech three in Galciv2 and tend to get bored when it becomes overly tedious. Lately I play huge galaxies but with few stars and planets. I like it . I also just get bored with a game as soon as it becomes Obvious I have won. When nothing is left of the game but slowly watching my legions of ships and transport munch through what remains of the enemies I just start over. I made a cultural victo

Reply to A Role For Gas Giants. in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

Kind of an interesting idea. If Stardock are looking for features to add, be it for the game or future expansions. I would say moons and Gaz giants would be a nice place to look at. I like complex games, but how complex is too complex? Endless space allows you to colonize gaz giants and use moons but it is also a simpler game than GalCiv in several regards.

Reply to PCGamesN just posted a preview for GalCiv 3 in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

The Reason I think we use the word cheat is that the nature of the "handicaps" ( Edit: or even their existence) has long been hidden from the player. Even in Fallen enchantress, where it is seemingly stated at what level the AI starts to have bonuses, the nature and magnitude of those bonuses are not clearly stated. It can also be frustrating sometimes when you see an AI act in a completely idiotic way and get away with it because of huge bonuses. ( Total war games are often guilty&nbsp

I think moral in Galvic2 serves a gameplay value. It forces you to limit your population unless you have proper infrastructure, tech or ressources. If food was the only factor that would make it a lot less interesting Imho. All of this is directly related to the amount of taxes you can collect. Furthermore, planet level approval allowed for some conquest strategy where you could use your enemies low moral against them.

Reply to how is feedback processed? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

They obviously do not/will not read or at least consider everything. They would need several full time employees to process all the rambling that will take place once the Alpha/Beta are released. But this being said, I know StarDock will consider what happens in the forum and what the players/testers will say. Even if they do not respond directly. When something gets posted about over and over they will take notice, like for the dual Queue thing.

Reply to Playing the prototype in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

I think the idea of starports being separated from their planets is actually pretty good. That could be an interesting twist of the dual queue Idea. It also makes sense. You would think starships would be built in orbit anyway. It Could allow one to destroy the starport with ships and besiege the planet.

[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="14" id="3443335"] Wouldn't that lead to the population being more granular rather than a smoothly increasing amount GC2 had? If population lost the three digits behind the decimal, wouldn't that cut a few interesting choices during the colony rush? In GC2 we had the choice to use full colony ships (even multiple modules) or using a reduced load. The planets settled with reduced loads took much longer to reach full population, with conseq

[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="10" id="3443330"] There were a couple sorting options on the planet panel completely absent from the colonies tab. The most important of which was the ability to sort through uninhabited and enemy planets. I use both extensively and probably spend more time on the colonies tab than the planet list, but if I had to do without one I'd lose the colony tab with no hesitation at all. Anything you can do on the colony tab can be do

For those who really like tactical battles there is Sins of a solar empire and Sword of the Stars. What I did not like "much" about Endless space Card system is the large part of it that is based on luck or randomness initially, Until one of your opponent becomes predictable to the point where you can use the same strategy against them over and over and it works every time. Ex: You use a fleet with mostly long range lasers. Opponent uses a card to boost Shields to counter your

That is the kind of detail that seems very secondary to me, especially since it would be very resource intensive for the company to develop such a vast "planet surface rendering system" I much prefer Stardock to use their time and ressources to make a Solid Strategy game experience and polish the UI and Gameplay and other Essential elements of the game.
