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.
This is a good thing! Thanks Frogboy!
I have installed Black Market. I have enabled Mods. The game asked me to restart and I did. How can I tell if the mod is selected let alone even working? Thanks much!
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
What schools do you prefer? I like water, I also found Death 'ok' the 'kill' spell takes too long to get going and dragons resist it about 1/2 the time. Life would be good I suppose, and of course Fire is great all around for aoe killing goodness!
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.
So aside from Mage, I have also read that Defender is very good. I just cant seem to find any thing about this class that is fun. What classes (BESIDES Mage) do you find fun to play with? Assassin is also fun but you do not get the fun of donning Champion armor later in game. Thoughts?
I use the maps pack will the mod above.."patchwork" still work, meaning can I isntall it and still play on random huge maps?
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?
Actually I have Both. Ill do that.
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.
Great, and thanks for the information. Do either of you have a preference on Lightning bolt over blizzard?
Ah, well Ok, I have an Air and Water mage and I suppose it will help my haste spells.
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
Yea I just figured out that the first page is the same for everyone. I thought it was different and it is not. Thank you very much for the information.
What does Erogs Tower do exactly? I built it in my Fortress but I do not understand its value? What does +1 air power mean?
Thanks for the above. I created a Warlock with Brilliant, Hardy, and Enchanters. Tough on the going but I now have a full army. I have a new fondness for healing actually as I can heal the unit while it gets beat on!
This kind of helps. Do we have a PDF of the trees that I can download? For example General has lots of things to choose while leveling like 'tinker' and potential. Are all the other professions the same or vastly different? Thanks much!
Greetings. Do we have a manual or class tree somewhere here on the site so i can look at the various profession trees? I know General which I almost always pick and I have heard about beastmaster. Where can I view these class trees at off line? Thanks!
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
I have a question about race creation, Can I be Krax blood and still get 'life' magic?
