Reply to Let's tidy up the Shipyard in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Screw tidying up the shipyard, I just want it so that a custom design doesn't get saved unless I specifically ask for it to be saved. The specialized combat ships I make for game specific situations shouldn't be carried over from game to game. If they weren't then the list of user created ships would never be more than a page long and there'd be no need for tidying up.

Maxing out sliders on individual planets takes too much clicking. There should be shortcuts for it on the planet list and on the manage screen, like this:

Reply to What's the deal with kinetic weapons? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Duranthium is much easier to come by than elerium or antimatter so whenever I get war declared on me at turn 40 or whatever, that war is always fought and won with prototype kinetics. Missiles are good for long game wars. Beams suck.

In beta 5 starbases could get defenses this strong, early in the game, it just took 4 or so extra constructors. That was a good buildup time.

[quote who="BuckGodot" reply="2" id="3545361"] %boost to moves are great and i always take them when I can. As noted, they stack. Furthermore. at .5 and above, they round up , not down. Thus something with 4.5 move becomes 5, which is a tremendous advanatge in the early game. At least, IMO. [/quote] It always rounds up.

Reply to What's with the beams? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Tiny ships with one weapon, an engine or two, and no defenses were a staple of my armies in GC2. They picked off unescorted transports, freighters, constructors and scouts, and could do deep strikes on starbases that hadn't been given a weapon upgrade. On fleet battles they'd typically be added as a 1 of to a stack of capital ships, and they'd soak up the first strike from an enemy battleship or whatever to save HP on my capital ships. The AI in GC3 isn&#39

Reply to The biggest pacing problem of the game. Defense Stat. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="Nehanski" reply="57" id="3220556"]To be honest, monsters should strengthened even without applying tweaks to attack. The early game mobs like bear cubs, rocklings or mites are laughable. What's the point of having a creature that can be beaten by a fresh new level one hero without any scratches? Monsters, even - or especially - early ones, should not be a walk in park AND they should be much more aggressive. If every fight meant serious trouble for novice heroes

So what's this game like right now? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I stopped playing right when Derek Paxton got hired. What big changes have been made since then? I know the spellbook was overhauled big time and the stats do different things now, but other than that, nothing. Is there still a huge amount of random variance when it comes to dealing damage? Is there still that bug where a single survivor of a beat up unit group is ridiculously strong? Are city bonuses still weak as fuck? These are the three things that really rustled my jimmie

Are you going to be as active in discussing design choices, balance and such on the forums as you were in the early and mid stages of FfH?

Reply to Ten problems with the balance in Elemental in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Be careful with #6. I don't want a situation where cities could take ages to get productive as a result of things like culture choke + building destruction + revolt time all adding up, and I REALLY don't want a situation where quickly reconquering a city after a surprise attack leaves it barren and crippled. Having no penalties at all isn't the best idea and some things like immediately getting control of all influence are silly but the developers should definitely err on the side of

Reply to Wasn't research supposed to be random? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

During the pre-beta and beta parts there was some call from a loud minority for a truly random research system, but Stardock never said they'd be doing anything like that, no.

Reply to A numerical analysis of combat and possible solution in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="1" id="2766768"]I think a melee hero is very powerful with version 1.07, because every unit of a group makes an attack roll and the result is compared to the defense roll of the hero. It is no problem to start with 15 Dexterity and 15 Strength. This makes the equipment of the hero more effective than the equipment of a group and the player needs only gildar to buy the equipment of the hero. The only problem is a lucky attack when the enemy has a high
