Reply to Galactic Civilizations III v3.95 Change Log (Released 10/10/2019) in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

My guess this is more of a response to all the obscure complaints on micromanagement. Micromanagement is caused because of what type of game it is. The solution that they originally had was comonwealths, then the complaints went away after the game incorporated Commonwealth's. The solution to this new problem was to make it an option that is on by default. If you shut this option off then we go back to the old surrender mechanic.

I'm sorry it took me hours to figure it out, but I did get DVDs to play with windows media player. It was to late to watch the movie.

Reply to RIP W7 in Personal Computing GalCiv3 Forums

In 2003 they were testing three operating systems. One was XP service pack two, one was Vista, the other was seven. They decided to go with service pack two instead of seven. Later when they decided to replace XP they liked Vista, because it did less than seven. They realised later that they should have went with seven instead of Vista. We could have went with a rawer less polished version of seven in 2003. Instead of having it in 2007. We would be having right now what we will have in 2024.&

I don't know I just tried playing a DVD movie off windows media player. That didn't work, so I tried downloading the free version of Real Player that didn't work. So microsoft is charging extra to play DVD movies. That is a huge minus for ten. Yes I think that 8 is one of the biggest mistakes microsoft made.

Wow!! Computer don't play DVD's anymore in Personal Computing GalCiv3 Forums

I remember doing this two years ago. I just tried to play the movie Red Rose off a DVD on my computer. I used to use Windows Media Player that didn't work it would only play off my hard drive. Why would I save a movie I'm only going to watch once. I even tried to auto play. Neither windows media player, or the free version of real player play it. That is what the computer said. O.K. according to the computer windows media player which used to do it. Real player wants to charge me to p

Reply to AMD Announces New 3rd Generation Processors, Threadripper 3990X, at CES 2020 in Personal Computing GalCiv3 Forums

I remember a post that we were comparing the best processors for gaming, and starkers chimed in, and said he was going AMD(personally I have no qualms either way, other than supporting American to help our economy). Then right after that Intel admitted to knowing about a bug they knew about the last ten years. This was forcing them to slow down all their processors considerably. Even playing Galactic Civilizations my processor seems slower. Yesterday I read a couple of articles. Intel only ha

I would say ten is better. Or at least better that eight. I think vista is better than eight. edit I just found out that windows ten can't play DVD's for free.

I don't know why anyone would like windows 8.1 to my opinion it is worst than Vista. Strike 4 for windows on that one.

Reply to Bug Holes in Fog of War v3.96 in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Having played since the beta I can say this bug was not always there. Talking programming this was probably caused when a value that was passed with sensors was changed. If I'm understanding things correctly. Sensors used to be a flat value, and unlimited range when you stack them. Only limited by hull size, and sensor size. Now they have a cap. Sensors may now work of a percent, not a flat value. Or this might have been caused when they wrote 1 gigabyte class to make su

I sometimes use colony ships for scouting, other times I use survey ships. Sometimes I will notice that the ai will forget to colonise the better planet in the solar system. Then I will colonise it. Then I get both planets, because of my government, and choices.

Reply to Change Icons For Bacterial And Corrosive Planet Types v3.96 in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

I had a similar problem with three. With two the icon was red if you couldn't colonise the planet. You could see it without highlighting the planet. Yellow if you couldn't fully colonise it, and green if you could without any penalty to production. That made it easier. In three the icons are different for each type of planet, which is not as good as before. I don't care about the type of planet only if it is colonisable or not.

I'm not really an expert in games, because after I found Galactic Civilizations 2 Dark Avatar I fased out other games. Most computer games I seen were in the last decade, but not made then. Probably the worst game I've seen was Spore so much wasted potential in the game. I'm going to have to say the worst game in the last decade is explorer craft it keeps crashing, and Everytime it crashes I lose its stuff. Now a game that went from my favorite to my worst was Ci

I only heard one bad thing about windows 10 people talked about over the years. That is you can't shut down windows sending about user reports to Microsoft. windows 10 does run smoother than windows 7, except in two areas. The start menu isnt labeled start. This doesn't sound like a big deal, unless your old, and like my dad he didn't know ibm computers. So when he turned on the computer, and went to start, and went to help, and support.

Reply to Its December 5th, whats our path ahead like for games and development? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Well I play multiplayer, and like to see some luv there. I wouldn't mind 3d it would be another way to get around blocked expansion, but the problem is that due to physics if it's not solid it flatens. We only live in a 3d universe on the small scale. If the height of the universe is only 100au that is not very big. The rest is empty space. My guess is when this concept was figured out no one knew how flat the universe really was. I didn't realise this. Or most game desi

Reply to Its December 5th, whats our path ahead like for games and development? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

One thing they mentioned which would send me packing is that planets won't be self managed. I also don't like the idea of star lanes, but only half as much as not having manual planet building. Making galciv 3 better, and coming out with galciv 4 is what they are looking at. Adaptive AI is what they are looking at. They haven't talked about data driven since 2016.

East African federation in International JoeUser Forums

My understanding is they want to become like the United States of America, but in all honestly it began with a perfect storm, and the reaction to it. Napoleon Bonaparte, our reaction to this was to try to break Britians, and Frances economies by not trading with Europe. The reason this didn't blow up in our faces. Is we industrialised. A possible reproduction of this for east African would first make sure you could grow the food to support isolation. Then bring in the people who are train
