Personally no issues with the download...added the key to steam like normal and started straight away. Have played for just over an hour now, I never put huge amounts of time into FE or Legendary Heroes so bear in mind I am coming to this rather fresh. Just a few initial thoughts: - The maps seem really big, it is perhaps just deceptive or the other games may have had maps this size but for 'small' maps they seem rather large to m

Just got home from work and noticed the steam key is up on my account page. Let the download begin :D Many thanks Stardock devs.
Not going to lie Brad...I have certainly read a lot of shit about you in the past on various sites. However I have always based my own view of you (or at least your online presence) on what I have seen you actually post and your interaction with the community which has always been stellar. The reason I originally set up this account was because I had an issue with an impulse download back in '08, you sorted out my issue near enough instantly and kept me informed. So
Many thanks, going to give it a watch now.
[quote who="Avatar137" reply="4" id="3490922"] the tech ages yet. I've definitely felt their constraints and it's made me do things differently than I would have normally but I'm not sure I'm ready to say get rid of them completely just yet. We've still got a bit of time before the release so I want to see wha [/quote] This post pretty much sums up what I was going to post on this...I have also felt the constraints (most notably with logis
^^ I agree that it would not work under standard Gal Civ III rules. However I think it is a really great idea, this sort of asymmetrical gameplay is always super interesting to me, I have certainly played a few Venice games in Civ V and I have no idea if any of you have played any of the Arcen Games strategy games like AI War or The Last Federation but they also do this sort of thing really well. In something like Distant worlds you also have the option to
Fantastic read...I that that having a crazy number of factions along with the bigger map sizes is going to be something that really sets the game apart from other 4X. Also liking the Dr Who (??) faction names [e digicons]^_^[/e]
Once again...many thanks for the stream. Any chance we can see the screenshot of the immense map mentioned in the stream either on the forums or in the vault? Would be great to see the scale.
I feel that the vault was really underused, everything that went up was great, I just feel there could have been more of it and overall would have been nice if it was updated at a more regular schedule.
Looking very nice. Like everyone else...I am very much looking forward to giving it a go.
Very exciting times, Stardock certainly has a fair bit going on at the moment. Incredibly interested in what that mystery project could be.
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="5" id="3489347"] Just chirping in, I bought it soon after it was unveiled and I can access e2015.stardock.com without any problems. [/quote] Also having no problems.
Again many thanks for the stream...working again this week so missed it but always find some time to catch up on it [e digicons]^_^[/e] Going to miss these a lot when the game releases, hope you guys carry on this sort of thing for future games/expansions.
Best to try to ignore it or stick to here... There have been some decent discussions there but as Edladner mentioned there are also a lot of people just interested in disrupting any posts for whatever reason. There is a lot of anger directed towards any early access steam release at the moment. Most of those people do not realize that Stardock for many years has been providing betas for customers long before 'early access' on steam was a thing.
As the post above says, you need to research techs that increase your logistics capacity to add more ships to a fleet. If you click on a fleet it will state the current capacity and how much that fleet is using in the bottom left of the screen.
I have a feeling that this area of the game will become more developed/nuanced once the more complex empire management screen is in (it was discussed somewhat in the last dev stream). It should make switching focus for specific planets easier and ease the amount of micromanagement, I agree that at the moment it is a hassle to go through each planets production wheel screen to make changes. In the current beta I have also rarely used the global production wheel
[quote who="drawnmix" reply="1" id="3487573"] To build/install modules onto Starbases ;e.g. mining (had the same issue) you have to build another constructor that you then send to the intended starbase location-so that it auto docks with it. Then open up your Starbases management and you will see the modules on the right hand panel, that you can install/fit. Also...can I add to your list...9. If I dont want to make a ship at the shipyard, I wont the option/fe
Played about 200 turns of my first beta game...overall some really nice improvements from the alpha. These are the things that particularly stood out to me at this stage. 1. As far as I can tell there is currently no way to destroy/decommission shipyards? Also when trying to move shipyard I am sometimes unable to end turn as it prompts with 'shipyard orphaned' and then prompts for production. 2. When renaming stuff I should be able to type and
Just downloaded this, looking forward to playing it tonight :D With the difficulty levels...I know the AI hasn't been worked on much yet, are those difficulties just giving the AI a bunch on bonuses at this point to try and even it out a little?
Very exciting, looking forward to trying out the beta.
All sounds very exciting, thanks for the update. Very much looking forward to seeing the huge galaxy maps and of course the fleet battles.
Sounds very interesting...also like how this sounds like it is complementing steam/other services rather than being a competitor. Could lead to some very interesting developments in terms of content being shared between client games.
^^ I think it is sent out manually due to the nature of the NDA and everything...you may just have to wait a little longer (or you might get lucky if support reads this).
I believe I saw that Mondays are when they generally send out emails. Yes to private forums, but no to access to it without your email.
