Reply to So........ About Combat... in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

[quote who="dogchainx" reply="2" id="3603856"] Hmm...not sure I like the idea of no wrap-around and it being just an out-of-bounds area, but then again, I haven't played it. Is there a possibility of a ship being "cornered" in the out of bounds area? If so, will that affect game play negatively? Just food for thought (from someone who hasn't seen anything yet!)

[quote who="Embird" reply="61" id="3602908"] If it is going to be released through Steam then I am not interested. I have Galciv3 via Steam. My computer crashed and now I cannot get it again through steam. [/quote] All you need to do is reinstall steam, log into your old account, and download the game. the only way you can't get your game is if you log into the wrong account, which people often do while insisting they don't have an alt.

[quote]Why Towson? In one of the quirks of the game industry, Towson Maryland is ground zero of a good chunk of the PC game industry. Firaxis is here. Bethesda is here. Big Huge Games is here. Zynga was here. So much PC game history was made in this little town (Microprose and its successors).

I've filled in the survey. So who exactly do I need to murder.. I mean how do I skip the queue... I mean... am I accepted yet? :) on a bit of a side note, assuming I'm not 100% sure if I filled in the survey fully, if I fill it in again would that be a bad thing? I'm not tryin gto vote stuff (though that would be a fun thing to do...) I just want to make sure I'm doing what I can to be accepted appropriately. I mean aside from hacking Survey Monk

[quote who="Meleemike" reply="40" id="3599960"] This game MUST come out on gaming console platform & thank god it is.[/quote] I'm not really sure why it 'must' come out on consoles. Like I said I don't have a beef either way. I'm just curious how they're handling things since this would be their first major console title. And patches work VERY differently there than on Steam. Steamworks is a veritable developer paradise compared to the restrictive BS o

Reply to Zooming out to 100,000 feet in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="10" id="3599795"] I'm more worried that doing so will open up a different can of worms. For instance, while you might be cool with just being able to zoom out, what about the people who will insist on there being informational overlays? Or what about the people whose machines will slow to a crawl because it hasn't been optimized enough? Or the people who will want the units to move even faster? What I'd probably be incli

[quote who="Vidszhite" reply="5" id="3577595"] So far, I'm not having any issues with GC3 in Windows 10. Guess I just got lucky. [/quote] Its probably not an issue if you clean install the game. Since that will trigger all the appropriate vcredists and such. Anyone who upgraded to win10 while having galciv3 installed will probably have issues. Some other games are having similar issues where the lack of the existing vcredists causes crashes and other weird things

Reply to So did GalCiv II have good AI or not? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hi Brad I have high hopes for the AI in GalCiv3. You've talked extensively about it and I think it bears repeating. We're now basically 'crowdsourcing AI'. As a base example, look at how Forza 5 does it http://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-forza-5-is-crowd-sourcing-artificial-intelligence/1100-6409975/
