What exactly is a research specialization as opposed to a regular tech? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm not 100% clear on how this system works, can anyone shed any light? Once I complete a specialization, can I later change to another of the three? Thanks.

I think I prefer the GC2 terraforming system more. Where it does it on it's own and for multiple tiles.

As much as I agree with not releasing the combat viewer until it's great, can we not get some kind of screen shots to see what it will be like? Maybe put them in the founders vault?

Another separate point, I wish we had a mini map more like GC2's, showing the whole galaxy.

I agree. It's also annoying when you have two survey ships (through an anomaly) set to auto survey they both chase the same anomalies.

Espionage? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Although espionage in GC2 had many flaws, I liked being able to plant spies on the other races planets and build up knowledge about what they were working on and such. I haven't heard anything about espionage in GC3, does it even exist? I'd like to see it there in some form.

I agree with the OP. GC2 did diplomacy screens better.

How do you guys play the Yor? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

How much do you build before you set the planets to pop growth? Do you set new colonies immediately to growth?

Something's up with galaxy generation in GC3, the star layout is still way too uniform. In the images below, I try to illustrate what I mean. In GC2 the galaxies were much more organic. Both are the same settings, loose clusters with occasional stars.

Only races that you've met should be in the UP.

Reply to Planet Specialization in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="2" id="3511180"] The game was designed with specializing planets from the start. You can still create planets that do 'everything' but you get better results by specializing them. Many folks here love that aspect of the game. I will find that Veiled planet (50% research, 25% economy) and just pile it up iwth a few farms and labs and ONE factory. It becomes my research base for the empire.
