[quote quoting="post"] I would love to buy this game but i just dont have that kind of money [e digicons]:([/e] [/quote] Should be some sales coming up eventually (I think Stardock usually does an early-summer sale IIRC); just save your pennies, keep your eyes peeled and you'll be right as rain..

[quote quoting="post"] Races no longer get a "tech tree". Instead, tech trees are procedurally generated based on the traits of your civilization. Modders should love this as they could just submit a bunch of new techs that have race trait requirements and they'll "just show up". [/quote] &
Ah cool, Thanks for the quick response guys..
Sorry if I missed the post somewhere, but Brad had mentioned in the last stream that Crusade Beta's were up now for Founders, but I don't see one listed as a beta on Steam - it still lists the "opt in beta v2.00" - is this the new crusade beta, or was that a holdover from the December (or whenever it was) v2.00 beta that's done with now? Also, any discussion at all on the "Generate Random Faction" option on game-start? I would still love to just be able to fill a
Thanks for the Feb 2017 Update. I always like hearing about how Stardock is doing. It's good to hear that Ashes is doing well, and I'm looking fwd to the GC3 updates. Too bad it'll be coming out the same day (?) as Torment: Numenera !! Cheers, keep up the good work.. -tid242
Hey! Thanks for the update Brad. GC3 hasn't really been on my plate to play much since about a year ago, but I'm excited about the changes and the work and it's definitely on my list of games to get to. I had a blast playing it about a year ago when I had several weeks off and am looking fwd to the changes. Don't let anyone hassle you about DLC vs expansions vs whatever. Consider it a compliment that people can personally heckle
Thanks for the update Frogboy. I haven't been around the SD forums much lately, but I appreciate the updates and plan on spending more time with GC3/Ashes/et al in the future. Appreciate the continued work on GC3 - it means a lot to me as a founder. cheers, -tid242

On a related note, Forbes is crap anyway and no one should read them. Every article on there is pretty much an ad that someone wrote masquerading as a story.. http://www.poynter.org/2012/what-the-forbes-model-of-contributed-content-means-for-journalism/173743/
Seriously... YOU IDIOTS!?!?! No one mentions Torment: Tides of Numenera?? j/k about the idiot part, but it does look like it's shaping up to be damn awesome.. Also looking fwd to "The Mandate".. I'm pretty casual when it comes to games tho, I'll try stuff as it comes out but generally don't know much about what's coming out ahead of time. Everyone mentions Ashes - it'll pro
poor Torians, makes me feel bad for them ... great pic... The Korx pic is alright except the nose seems out of place. I don't recall them really having noses, or even really faces, for that matter... Am I mis-remembering them?

[quote who="erischild" reply="1" id="3609372"] The best way to find out is to try. There have been definite improvements in AI and added features since launch. version 1.5 represents 5 full passes of development and balance. A lot has changed. Whether it is enough for you is a question only you can answer. [/quote] +1 Since you've asked specifically about AI - it is better. Like you I played a bit in beta and a small a

After listening to your explorminate interview I thought I might just mention that I consider MP to be something I'll try after everything's all locked down far later in the game dev/evolution. It was a bit depressing to hear that it was ~30% of your dev budget and <0.5% of people have even ever clicked the MP button at all (I, for one, have not). But I do feel like this may turn out to be a core feature later.. That being said, MP wasn't high up on my
[quote who="The Sisko" reply="1" id="3608679"] So we're not going to get a proper invasion system until 2017...wow. Not only that, but it isn't part of the base game but will be sectioned off as part of a standalone expansion. Brad was right, it is not something I'm terrible pleased to hear.

I'm just going to put this out there. I've been pretty happy with GC3. SD has generally produced evolving products and this is what I expected. GC3 has generally met all of my expectations and has been a blast to plug around with. There are definitely elements that can be both refined and expanded upon - but the degree of either of these really isn't expectation-breaking for me. I've probably logged just under 100h on GC3 (most of

https://forums.galciv3.com/473756/page/1/ the above thread would be my guess. Apparently there were some issues with one of the latest w10 patches. Don't run it myself, so I can't say personally...
So many complaints about the star names. I've yet to come across one that bothers me at all. Cheers for the default ones I say...

1.5 or 1.5.1? 1.5 is no longer opt-in, there is an opt in after 1.5 tho..
question: Is there a straightforward way to using the ship designer to add a "family" of ships? And by "family" I mean what you can pick from when creating a custom race such as "iconian" "krynn" etc that present themselves as the default visual 'style' of the race? Thanks!
+1 It would also be nice to have minors not use pictures/logos that are used for a major (like just auto-sub them out or something). I would be really happy with just a big "alien stuff DLC" pack for one of the dlc releases, with pics/vids/logos and a bunch of ship themes that maybe didn't make the final cut... I find that I conjure up quite a few custom races and there really ends up being a lot of asset overlap..
