Well I am playing another game of Gal Civ II. Both APT and Autumn Twilight are great mods and I am once again losing sleep and being late for work because of you BRAD! Anyway if I were to add my 2 cents to any desire in making Gal Civ III it would be to keep in the snarky comments from various leaders. Although I have played at least 100+ games in the years, I actually fell out of my seat laughing yet again when the Krynn popped up and said....."Stop, Just please Stop,

I am worried about the comment on distinctive tech trees. I 'like' being a warmongering Terran. Will I be forced to follow only diplomatic paths because thats what we are good at, at the expense of weaponry and defenses? What if I want 1/2 Reganesque diplomacy, and 1/2 warmongering weapon persuits? I see that if we try to get all the techs we will gimp ourselves. I guess I will have a sandbox game of trying to get all techs...

This is an excellent game. It is 2d only and is real time but pausable and you can slow down or speed up as needed. With all expansions the game is pretty darn fun. Its makes up in game play what it lacks in fancy graphics. I would recommend this game to friends.

I want to thank you for this Mod. First thing I noticed was combat. Far more dodges between enemy units and my troops than before. Also the lack of resources was a wake up call. I had to WAIT first then send pioneers out to far flung areas to secure crystals and iron. I am about midgame and killed my first Fell Dragon. Lost most of my army doing it but got a nifty suit of plate mail for my trouble. I am consolidating at this point... Does th

I am using the patchwork mod and the experience on lvling your main seems to be a bit better. Also the trees are changed quite a bit. I have found that a Warrior around mid game in chain with at least a pike is just awesome. Also the mage, while not a big sword weilder can do significant damage in melee if given proper equpement. They suffer from lack of defense as they cannot equip chain or plate. However put the mage with a ranged weapon in back and he will cast

I too got sucked into this game. I am a die hard Gal Civ II fan and over on the Gal civ III forums there is many references to this game. I never knew about it and figured if Brad can make a great 4x space, obviously this had to be good. I was not disappointed. I am going to head home and install the patchwork mod and restart an entirely NEW game. I think I will stick to my tired and true formula of one handed pig stickers and a warrior class sovereign.

Ok, one handed spears. I got the map pack and i am not really fond of the maps that come with it. I really prefer 'random huge' maps with zero wildlands. Are there any mods that you all recommend for maps or just stick to the random generator thingy in our game? What is the patchwork mod and is it updated for 1.5?

What do you prefer and why? I am going to do another game going pure warrior and grabbing plate early. I really do not like the defender class. I cant seem to have fun with it. So on that note, One handed spears or Athican longswords at start or neither?

I would really like to add my own music while playing. Is there a way to do this? For example in Distant Worlds they have a music folder and you simply drop in (any) music you want into it and it will follow and cue with the the other in game music. Its absolutely awesome! I am really interested in listening to some classical music, Bach, Mozart, Grieg and such.

So I am proceeding down the mage path. I got Blizzard from the water line and I am thinking about getting the 'aeoromancy' thing in Mage to get Lightning bolt. Now, Blizzard is +6 dmg per water shard and lightning bolt I guess is only +10 dmg in a strait line. Um both of these seem like they suck. How does one get higher numbers? I am at the second or third tier of the spell prodigy line like +20 or 30 to spell mastery. I was heading to th

Oh wow! I will simply have to try that. What is the deal with having 4 books/schools of magic (THEN) picking mage and never having enough points to get good any anything? So should I simply focus on say Water magic (to get Blizzard) and then put the rest in say 'evoker' to build up % increase in damage? I was going to go Krax to get my army equipped with short spears early. I like short spears, very handy. <p
