[quote who="SamDominion" reply="10" id="3563341"] I'm using some of TurielD's ships and of course, these guys are the Borg. It never fails that my UFP and the Borg end up next to each other and they declare early war on me and it's a slug fest for many turns to see if I can get them under control and beaten back. Most of the time, around when I get the upper hand (and have concentrated my forces on that front), another AI(usually my version of Klingons)

Hmm, dunno about creating entirely new resources. The ones that exist have issues though; I took a look at spawn mechanics and each one is different. You can alter the spawn rate through the MapSetupDefs.xml file, and I've had a go at rebalancing them a bit here: https://forums.galciv3.com/467186/page/1/#3563270 The AI currently can't use Strategic Re

I don't really like the godlike AI due to FoW ignoring sillyness and the sheer number of handicapping bonuses it gets, but below that the main difficulty factor seems to be how many planets you can get your hands on. If you get a few big planets, you are pretty much guaranteed to outproduce the AI for warhips due to how we're able to specialize and they can't yet. So yes, I agree - making the number of planets relatively low/AI is the path to challenge

I've still not worked out what the Elerium generation formula is. Frankly, it looks like it's going to be easier to create a building which can generate the resource (basically the oposite of a durantium refinery, for elerium) than fix the spawning :P

IF you'd previously removed all folders there should be nothing to overwrite, only folders to merge. What you can do to test if its the ships, is made a Copy of the race with a different ShipStyle set in the appearance tab. If it's not working then, it must be a different problem.

Reply to Kuja Faction with ships, minor bug. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I took a quick look, that's Dumhed's faction. From what I see all the files are fine, I suspect the issue is file location. You'll need to merge the \Designs subfolder with your \SteamGames\SteamApps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\Designs folder, else the game isn't able to find the design templates it wants to use for your factions 3 starting ships. I don't believe designs in blueprints work from the mod fo

[Mod] Resource Generation Rebalance in GalCiv III Balance Mods GalCiv3 Forums

I recently took a look at how resources are generated on the map, and came to these conclusions: Number of Antimatter resources is mostly determined by Black Hole frequency, and is almost completely independent of Resource frequency setting. If you want antimatter in your game in any meaningful quantity, you go with Abundant black holes (test with abundant/abundant gave me ~10 AM for every ~15-20 Elerium and ~45-60 Durantium). <l

[quote who="Arumba" reply="50" id="3563128"] You can put out more than one ship per turn from a single planet by juggling production to multiple nearby shipyards. It's annoying and tedious, but it is possible within the confines of game mechanics. You need 1 extra research or wealth planet per spare shipyard that you can 'attached' from any distance to provide ~1 production so that you don't get stopped by the 'orphaned shipyard' prompt, but I was able
