One more bug: In planet view, there is no icon for "Mineral Rich"; it looks like a normal plains tile unless you click it.

Bugs and feedback in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

1) If you're really trying to find bugs, you should add a "Submit Feedback" button into the actual game, or at least have some kind of bug report link somewhere on the website. Is this where bugs are supposed to go? A list of known issues would be good too. 2) Bug: In the planet management screen, the mouseover tooltip for the three resources (Manufacturing, Research, Wealth) flickers on and off as I move the mouse; it's hard to get it to stay open to read it

[quote who="Leauki" reply="25" id="2214333"] As for the specific events you are referring to, I am not a Christian and don't believe in the virgin story and I don't believe in a literal parting of a sea either.

[quote who="Leauki" reply="23" id="2213628"] What makes Hellenic religion nonsense? Or at least nonsense in a way that living religions are not? I have never seen gods who throw lightning and mate with humans. That's what makes it nonsense. [/quote] Er.... but have you seen gods that part seas and impregnate virgins? I don't quite see how one is more ridiculous than the other. [quote] An

[quote who="Leauki" reply="14" id="2197297"] Religion says god does exist and science will ask for proof. No. Some religions say that a god exists, some say several gods exist, some say that no god exists. Science has nothing to do with it. Science will work in any environment, whether there is a god or not, and whether one believes in gods or not. Insisting on the truth of atheism is just as unscientific as insisting on

[quote who="Leauki" reply="15" id="2190247"] What exactly is your point? Hinduism does not say that Judaism is wrong, Hinduism just says that Judaism is not Indian. For all Hinduism cares Judaism might well be what the creator god has revealed to the Jewish people while revealing something else to the Indian people. Who says everybody must have the same religion? As I mentioned before I also believe that Zoroastrianism is a true religion. I don't really have an opinion on Hind

[quote who="ParaTed2k" reply="6" id="2189410"]Makeshiftwings: My own opinion: "God is man trying to ignore how science does it." If you replace the word "God" with the word "Religion" I'd have to agree with you, at least to some extent. I've talked to religious people who seem to bend over backwards trying to deny anything science has to teach us. One guy said that science can't possibly accurately measure distances in space. When I asked him wh

[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="21" id="2186562"] The Big Bang theory is pure imaginative bunk....it violates physical laws and common sense. And yet, we've seen that it isn't something that people refuse to think about....as a majority of scientists today have accepted that nothing packed together tightly, condensed somehow into a single tiny spot and then it decided to explode producing neutrons, protons and electrons that somehow hurled themselves ourward

[quote who="mommie4life" reply="15" id="2186234"]I was responding to his point of view. If there was nothing, then where did everything come from. If there was a "primordial soup" or whatever you want to call it, then where did that come from? The question is still there no matter which way you look at it. It's just something that people refuse to think about or think is unimportant. It's up to them, believe what they will, just saying there's always that question and we dont' have an answer

[quote who="mommie4life" reply="22" id="2180314"]Just a quick question. I didn't read all this thread, so please excuse me if someone's already talked about this, but I was just wondering the answer would be of the people posting here. Question: You say that you can't prove that God exists because if there was nothing when God created everything then there wouldn't have been God. If this is so then how come you can say that science says that there was a primordial goop that the uni

[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="4" id="2170038"] Where did you get that it's impossible to know anything about God? [/quote] As I said earlier, from the people who claim it's impossible to prove that he exists. If that statement is true, then it is, by definition, impossible to KNOW anything about him.

By the way, those aren't compliments those are fallacies.[/quote] The entire argument earlier was not based on science, it was based on the idea that the entire world is a Chinese plot to destroy the U.S, and that certain people are telling "the truth" but being drowned out by the world conspiracy. In that case, it's not at all ad hominem to

[quote who="CobraA1" reply="1" id="2168586"] First the logic problem: "All A are B" does not imply "All not A are all not B" Actually, my logic was this: A implies B Not A Therefore, (B or not B ) I was trying to say "not B" is possible; I was not asserting that "not B" is the only logical conclusion.[/quote] Well, "B or not B" is a tautology: it's just a generically true statement that holds for everything, so it's basically usel
