Reply to Being Forced To Commit To Ideology? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="perigrine23" reply="19" id="3457147"] Initially yes, but once you hit the first tier you can pursue ideology through the buildings they unlock which grant flat and/or per turn ideology points.[/quote] But again this is a problem if we are 1) Saying that bootstrapping is goign to be random 2) Extremely large galaxy sizes would appear to allow for 'infinite' production of all 3 ideologies If the solution to #2 is to scale up the po

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="16" id="3457052"] The cost already increases for each ideology unlocked. That increase factor could be map size dependant (if it's not already).[/quote] The problem I see there is that there's what i see as a fundamental design flaw currently The only way to bootstrap Ideology is entirely 'random' You can only get them if you get Anomalies or via Planet Events. Anomalies are plentiful now because of the alpha, but wil

What concerns me right now is the system doesn't scale well. It would appear that you can hit the highest tiers pretty easily. And that's only going to get worse when we have larger and larger galaxies and more planets pumping out ideology points Civ5 had a mechanic by which larger empires were penalized for the next culture "tier" for each new city. Though I'm not sure if that mechanic makes sense here.

Reply to The GalCiv III tentative schedule! in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Dumhed" reply="15" id="3456342"] Question - After Beta 2, my guess is testing will deal with a number of game balance issues, and Beta 3 with fleet combat doesn't really impact the larger game progression. But after Beta 3, will any testing/feedback still be required? Or, at that point, we just hold our horses and wait? (I have no opinion, just curious).[/quote] Feedback will always be needed throughout the process. The Fleet Combat especi

They're expecting games that use it to come out in 2015 I also am wary that MS will basically kneecap it by making it Windows8.1 only.

[quote]-I don’t like having to move all ships/research etc before you can finish the turn.Is there a way to bypass this. This may cause a problem in bigger games and make it boring.[/quote] If you want to disable ALL these notifications 1) Press ~ 2) Type in "turnactions" This disables ALL such notifictaons on the turn button.

Reply to The financial model of LH updates in Elemental Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

I find your funding model highly contradictory!

Reply to Radeon still no good in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I wonder if there's something unique that needs to be done to get laptop GPUs working. I've found that AMD laptops GPUs are a tad' fussy' in terms of how they work sometimes. Can you try the following and see if this helps? Its a copy/paste from Payday2 but might be something that helps for GalCiv3. If not its something much lower level. DO NOT SET PAYDAY 2 TO HIGH PERFORMANCE! Follow the instructions below to set the CCC prop

Reply to Long Time Customer - But a Wary One in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

You seem to be a bit all over the place in terms of your points. Which makes it difficult to actually understand what you're trying to communicate. It really feels like you're just throwing things out haphazardly without something to tie it all together. [quote]You might find it to be useless to have something added into the game, but if I was to drop money on the Founder's Elite package for GalCiv III -- the vast majority of my feedback would be centered around usability.
