Ship designer request. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Unsure if this has been mentioned/addressed yet. One small request for ship designer options. Please allow components/modules to be mounted inside the ship chassis, as opposed to only being able to be mounted externally. Although I really don't care for Star Trek, I do like the visual idea of the Borg ships as just huge squares in space. When I first started playing GC2 I was disappointed to learn that the "square" h

[quote who="Seilore" reply="4" id="3415946"] Stop being so critical about what is "real" and what is not. It's a game, get over it. Whether it's green/purple stars or sound you could also argue light/warp speed. There are many things that are not possible as currently known, are any of these game breaking, no as if they were, I hope your not science fiction fans of Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, or most other sci-fy movies.[/quote] This

Reply to Cutom Races? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

One of the things that I found particularly annoying about custom races in GC2 was that when you chose a tech tree you were in a race with whomever's tech tree that was for the "galactic achievements" in that tree. So if you chose the Krynn tech tree, all of the Krynn-only gal achievements would not be Krynn-only, they were [Krynn + you]-only. So you were in this sort of automatic race for normal race techs that if you were playing, say, Krynn Couns you normally wouldn't b

[/quote] Needless to say, attempting this should involve variables involving tech (cloaking, scanners, etc), espionage (it's useful to know how the enemy operates and what to look for), obvious things such as distance from planets, longevity of trespass, and interference from other ship traffic,

Reply to Stay Out Of My Space!!! in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I would very much like to see some type of property/trespass management implemented as a part of the diplomacy aspect to the game (thus races would not be physically prevented from entering space, but may take a diplomatic hit if they don't think about whose space they are flying through). Techs that interfere with travel through one's space could/should be on the table as well, IMHO. -tid242

Sound Effects in Space in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Anyone else generally bothered by sound effects that seem to universally exist in space games? - as space is a vacuum, it's not possible to hear sound waves. I can't think of a space game that has managed this well - usually there's lots of "pew pew, whoosh whoosh, bang boom" type sounds. Understandably so, playing a game that's completely silent is fairly mundane, and finding a realistic medium might be difficult. The television series "Fire

Reply to Events, and Mega Events in GC3? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="16" id="3409531"] There's going to be a lot more events in GalCiv III than GalCiv II. However, i suspect there will be more player control (at the beginning of the game) in terms of their frequency and power. I don't know if you guys knew this but in GalCiv II I hard-coded the events in C++. Or in other words, I'm an idiot. It meant that each event was very labor intensive and there was no real granularity in them. &nb

So I finally got a (small) chance to plug around with b4. Maybe 100 or so total turns (started maybe 3 games with a custom faction, "hard" world and opponents).
