Reply to Deemphasize Starbases. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

U know when I thought about it I couldn't figure out why I was arguing this. I don't understand the problem with constructor spam. The constructor module problem is only a problem at the beginning of the game. In the end game this concept was not a problem for me. When I first started playing the game in 2007. I fealt the starbases were ugly and to limited, and I wish I had an option to increase my economics without freighters. That was my problem with starbases. It;s not even a probl

Yes on what u said, but technology is getting better all the time. I know that I'm not there, so I don't know what u go through. U forgot one other complication; hikbecause, of modding u r relying off a lot of text files. While this gives players a really great mechanic to change the game. This also slows it down.

Reply to Mining class 0 planets? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I think that this would be a good idea to do something with gas giants. In star wars this was a place to mine crystals that were especially hard this could improve the hulls of the planet it is connected to. I'm not sure but can't we really improve fuel with metallic hydrogen which this would both improve speed and range of ships from the planet it was connected. At least if this was connected to a barren world it would be a supply of water doing 2 things this would speed up productio

Can I suggest an idea for another game. Now before I start I also think that spore is one of the worst games made. In the civilization the stradegy elements sucked. In the space stage it wasn't a stradegy, but was trying to be an Rpg. Spore forgot two things one was that as a computer game and not a nintendo game. This is one thing I can think that they didn't take into account. Which means that the gaming industry is far behind compared to the computer world, because spore forgot to

HonestlU y, Stardock has programmers. The courts r going to sue them on coding not how the game is played. For the most part reverse engineering is legal. There r probably rules to this. There is a certain amount of code that would have to be changed to make this legal/ if stardock accidently came up with the exact same code then u r right, but what is the chance of this happening considering that things change. Not to mention stardock is not going to trade for a older game enginge. The engin

The first is that this would take care of a problem out there where some people like the minor races being minor, and the second is that this would add a new dianamic which I could use against my opponent.<

I wouldn't expect that faccet to be lost. I would say that the small race tech tree is your best solution. I did like the small race tech tree; even though I would like to see more custom tech trees. I would like to see some custom super abilities. I would like to see more abilities. The first problem I find with the abilities is that they r not on par with the stock races.

Especially when I'm paying them all to go ten rounds with each other. The AI poses a threat righ
