Reply to Option to have 'Blind Exploration' in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

In GC2, the main map was completely blanked out but the mini-map showed where stars were and also where the other races were. Choosing blind exploration removed the other races colors from the mini-map. It seems that in GC3, they've moved the star visibility from the mini map, right onto the main map in the form of those blue dots. I really hope they plan on adding a 'galaxy map' that shows the whole galaxy along with all civs borders (wit

" Yea Charon, I remember if you rush rush rush and than having to spend 100+ turns doing NOTHING because I have no money or production to do anything till population increases (slowly) so I can tax the hell outta them and start the process all over...." That was definitely not too fun. I hope there's some mechanic in place, but different.

[quote]"Can we hear some developer input on planetary colonization and usefulness? A lot of people have been talking recently about how there is no reward to focusing on planetary development instead of immediate-mass-colonization, the desire for more tiles early on, and for a few "prime" worlds that can be developed throughout the entire game. A second issue that has been raised is that population is overpowered in regards to universal production. There should be some kind of game me

" Hey, I'm wondering if someone else has similar problems with the early rushing out practice to get the last availible colonies before AI is explosively expanding it's zone of control. Doesn't make sense to just explore the galaxy and plan your expanding empire. You have to rush out and colonize every single availible planet before the AI is approaching. You defenetly get no s

Reply to Major issues I have with the game design in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I don't think I understand this complaint, especially when it comes to colony management. Part of the strategy and fun of GC3 is figuring out how to use a planet best, based on tile bonuses, planet-wide bonuses and tile layout. So if you discover a planet with a +3 tile bonus, a manufacturing planet bonus, on a tile with a couple of adjacent tiles touching it, that would make a great manufacturing center. So there aren't infinite choices with all the same effect, the

Reply to Pirating is so easy! in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

Just a hypothetical...if a friend tires of an xbox game and gives it to me, am I a thief? Technically, if I want to play, I should buy my own disc, correct? What if he gives me a DVD or a book to read? Is that wrong? Is there really any difference between my scenario and downloading a game through file sharing with like minded 'friends'...?
