Reply to Vampire Bloodlines via steam in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

Such a long time since I played it, should really finish a Malkavian playthrough someday. The only idea I have is to see if any of the player created patches might help.

Reply to So how can you start a Steam game without Steam ... in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Tattyhat" reply="40" id="3453743"] I really wish we had the choice to buy from elsewhere. I don't like steam and always buy from the developers site or places such as GOG when possible. Just my one and a half penny's worth.[/quote] You do, you can buy it directly from Stardock here .

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="3453062"] Quoting Rhonin_the_wizard, reply 1 In the Steam forums you mentioned this "Yea, in fact custom races will be more important this time than in GalCiv II because down the line, when people are playing on the insane size galaxies, playing against your own custom races is the only way you'll have enough opponents to fill up that galaxy." How many players are we talking about on insane size galaxies? <br

Reply to Is it too late to become a founder? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="EvilMaxWar"] [/quote] There is too much speculation in your post and nothing to back it up. Valve states that Steamworks is free. "It’s free: There’s no charge for bandwidth, updating, or activation of copies at retail or from third-party digital distributors."

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="1" id="3450110"] Hopefully they don't release it too soon like they did with Knights of the Old Republic II and New Vegas.[/quote] Don't know about New Vegas, but KOTOR2 wasn't their fault, it was LucasArts that made the call for it to be released at the time. In fact most of the time developers don't have a say when a game is released, publishers do.

Reply to Don't Make Good Suck This Time! in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Tyrantissar" reply="16" id="3449207"] Good vs. Evil is a terrible, flawed system where there is absolutely no good reason to be moral at all. Promoting evil in such as way is stupid, why would anybody want to take penalties so they can get good benefits that are no where near as good as neutral or evil choices. whatever system is in its place, people who play strategy games will ALWAYS choose the most logical choice over a moral choice, look at every other tittle

Regarding the Jagged Knife, it is a mega event, basically it is a faction that rebelled against a good civilization. It didn't conquer your planet, it joined that faction. The other two factions are I-League for neutral civilizations and Fundamentalists for evil civilizations.

Reply to What is Your Favorite Civilization in Galactic Civilizations? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I liked to play as the Terran Alliance, should give the other civilizations a try sometime. I actually played how they were described in the lore, with a very small military and using influence to get planets to join me. I traded with the other civilizations to get their unique technology and made economic and research treaties with them and tried to make most of them to enter in an alliance with me. Went with neutrality for alignment because I wanted that research building.

This is what has been stated on map sizes: [quote who="mormegil" reply="36" id="3410402"]Currently a hex sector, has a 12 hex radius, so there are 397 hexes per sector, which is a bit larger than a 16x16 GC2 sector. The smallest galaxy is currently 7 sectors. The largest we will leave as a surprise, for later. These values are all set out in data, that modders will have access to later, which should be fun.[/quote
