I originally siggested automating things to speed things up on request. For the current governor settings I would shut them off if they were global. I want to control how the computer does things, so I want more governor optons suggested Que's to take some of the redundancy out of the game. Not to change h0w the game works. I wouldn't support any automated option unless there was a way to shut it off, so if you aren't doing enough you can turn it on. Question i

Reply to What’s parts of Legendary Heroes do you find the most fun? in Elemental Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

Are we talking about a specific game or heroes in general. I like to national and world wonders in civilization 3, and thought it was better when they invented great people. Great people added a customization to a dry game. I can't see how adding great people wouldn't be better. As far as I can see the only great people that the game designers talked about were heroes. I think the current combat that only adds hit points when you level up is dry. That is at least one thing Sin

Reply to Please keep in the snarky remarks, I love them! in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Well about remarks, spaceballs, and star wars it's all about the character that Stardock want to give the game. I don't care much about this except I like games better whrn they have something random ie events, anomolies and such. I agree that different factions think differently, but to create factions that don't think human is kind of complicated considering the best of your sci fi comes up with ideas from their lives to be realistic.

Two things I would like to see leaders go. 1. Multiple leaders per faction with different abilities. 2. Very interactive like they are on medieval total war.

Well I guess if the change was to increment what is already there than that is fine. If the change is to change the game then they should reconsider if the change is good or not. I mean some changes like more factions would be good. I usually play with a 13 turn limit on my techs; unless there is no tech worth researching.

No you lied; now it's in the spring, and you said winter!!! Just kidding! I would rather get it right the first time. March 27th is fine. Thanks for the update. I would rather get the right instead of rushing the game.

In organic compounds an acidic functional group comes at the end of a carbon chain, and consists of an oxygen atom double-bonded to the terminal carbon and an hydroxyl group (

Reply to Please keep in the snarky remarks, I love them! in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I like the remarks to, but I think if we had multiple leader options with different abilities like they have in Civilization 4 would be nice to add. I wouldn't mind if they also added dialogue over time like trying to marry a daughter to another son of a faction for peace kind of dialogue like in Medieval total war. All three of these ideas combined would be nice. Still want to see 83 or at least more factions.

Reply to Immigration? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Sorry Rudy, but I think it should be both ways. If you think about it this would at least encourage you to build things we would usually not build otherwise. What I'm taking about is like influence structures. I understand this would give economically and morally built up factions an advantage. Ironically I'm slow at military. As far as the economy I'm very strong. This would actually work the assimilated planets concept on a more passive scale.

Reply to Please don't streamline "dumb down" this game. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Well streamlining means in programming to make the programs more efficient. I'm sorry they already said they are using bigger buses, they are making the game faster, and they are using all the threads so I guess it's too late they have already streamlined the game. If you been reading the game all I suggested eliminating redundancies. If you have ideas I think you should list them instead of only making vague references.y I think in some ways that complexity could mean

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="8" id="3440254"] I'm intrigued by the idea of having mutually-exclusive research tasks, but I'm not sure if you should be completely locked out of, say, weapons tech. Maybe have it so that there are separate branches, with "non-specialized" branches being weaker than if you chose the opposing "specialized" path? For instance, if you specialize in weaponry, you get pulse lasers which do 2 damage at 100 cost, while som

One thimg that would like to see different is when you try to find your starbase when by using a list of star bases I would like to see a list for only my starbases this could be with the ship list like it was. I couldn't use it much because it gave everyone's starbase instead of just mine. How is this not more important than constructor spam. At least constructor spam didn't try to hide my starbase amongst a list of useless everyone's star bases.

[quote who="odjntrade" reply="31" id="3439004"] So this really devolved into Steamtalk. I like the concept of blind research at least as an option but not total randomness. Each species should have a baseline tech tree that is always available and then unlock random branches. For instance, research materials in space provided you with increased research rates and that was it. Why not tie in a system that gives you access to a new branch of research for holdin
