Reply to CRUSADE DIARY 1: Introducing Galactic Civilizations III: CRUSADE in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

This look great. Isn't the price too low? @Frogboy, will the Alliances get fixed? Current system is really... insufficient, to say.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="24" id="3665563"] Not quite. Civilizations are not tied to the size of your population. They are tied to your civilization ability for creating citizens. Thus, a small empire might actually have more citizens than a large empire. [/quote] That sounds great! I assume this "ability" will differ from empire to empire, based on faction traits, technology, special buildings, maybe government system...? Can´t wait!

[quote who="The Sisko" reply="29" id="3665612"] I have to disagree on the GC2 system being "good". But each to their own. [/quote] I tend to agree. I have seen much better espionage systems, take for example the old BOTF game. But it will get a lot of fresh air with the citisen system, I guess...

Reply to GC3 Founders: Crusade Preview in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

Holy cow, this looks interesting! So the citizens are derived from your population, similarly to old MoO2 system? Or is it a completely independent system? And how about long-awaited politics and elections? Will it be part of the Crusade somehow? [e digicons]o_O[/e]

[quote who="LongDeadFingers" reply="42" id="3663816"] The admin system will be the make or break feature for me. [/quote] Exactly the same for me. I sort of prefer the soft cap more, but I am eager to try any variant SD decides to implement.

Great stuff! Thanx, Brad. Few questions/suggestions though: Administration Why do we relate it only to starbases? Shouldn´t we count in also shipyards and even planets? It is hard or soft limit? I.e. I cannot build stuff over limit, or I can but I get production, approval etc. maluses? The admin points get increased by technology, with opportunity costs coming out of missed military/econ research. Ok. But will it suf

[quote who="Nethog61" reply="5" id="3662480"] Ok thanks. I am a little disappointed that a game that has been out for quite a while now still has broken gameplay, especially from a company like Stardock. [/quote] Yeah. Surprisingly, Stardock would be precisely the kind of company I would expect to strongly focus on Diplomacy aspect of the game. Yet believe me, some of the issues (useless alliances) are being discussed since Fallen Enchantress, which is maybe l

Reply to Is Free Trade Agreement broken? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It is utterly broken, like most of the diplomatic contracts. Treaties are doing something different than described, non-agression can be broken any time, when your allies are attacked you don´t even get a dialogue prompting you to join them or break the alliance. Even Total War games have this and in Stardock games diplomacy is broken in this regard since FE [e digicons];P[/e] Hopefully it gets fixed some day...

Holidays have enough stress in them as it is. Have you ever had to run a Secret Santa with a bunch of psychics? You don't know holiday stress until you do.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="23" id="3661236"] Re Admin system: IF I can do it myself, then yes. It's the UI that's the problem. I have no idea how to modify the screens and we're a little short-handed right now (Christmas and illnesses). [/quote] Okay, fair enough. Thanks for the hard work, hopefully your staff gets better soon! I would help myself but as a finance guy, I guess could only supply tea and coffee for those sick :)
