Reply to GalCiv III: Interesting stats in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The thing about "cheaty" AIs, nearly all 4x games have them to one degree or another. That Stardock is in the process of minimizing the "cheatiness" (or even eliminating it altogether) is to be commended. It is undeniable that some people have a pet peeve about cheaty AIs. I believe Frogboy is one of them. ;) OTOH the fact that the best-selling 4x series of all time (Civilization) is well known for its cheaty AI shows that it can't be that much of a game stopper. <p

[quote who="Ashbery76" reply="4" id="3551168"] I think players do not like cheat buffed A.I's. [/quote] I think that has [u]very[/u] little to do with it. The game is four days old. It's only natural for people to stick to the familiar/small until they get used to the game.

[quote who="charon2112" reply="1" id="3551163"] 83.6% of players play either tiny or small maps That's surprising. Am I weird that I like huge maps? [/quote] It could be that people will start with smaller maps/Terrans, get used to them, and then move on to other options. If they keep playing, that is.

Reply to [Bug] Upgrading ships auto-loose in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

"Realism" has little to do with it. Ships are defenseless during upgrades mostly as a game balance feature. Usually it's for when you upgrade deep in the reaches of space in enemy territory. That way you can't send out a lightly defended ship somewhere and turn it into a Death Machine in two to three turns. Well, you can, but you have to worry about someone tapping you with a pointed stick in response. ;) With pirates running around, it's also meant

Reply to Exclusive Launch Weekend Ship Parts Coming in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

There might not be many of them (seven in total), but now that I actually have a chance to play with them, they're kinda neat. :) Not gonna lie. I think my early favorite is the GC III logo. :D Until we get actual Faction Specific logos in, I think I might get heavy use out of that one. Did a quick addition to my custom Cargo Survey Ships, and it looks like this at the base level without anything else attached: [img]http://i.imgur.com/FaKTFbV.png[/img]</p

Reply to Disable turn limit in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote quoting="post"] I didn't select a turn limit when creating a game, but there seems to be a default 999 turn limit. Playing an Insane map size, 999 turns is not enough. Is there anyway to eliminate/disable the turn limit entirely so that a conquest game on an insane map size can actually be played properly?

[quote who="Arthmoor" reply="8" id="3550620"] So the campaign only having 3 missions available is a bug then? [/quote] No, it's only three missions. A beginning, middle and end. But there's been talk about trying to get the campagins from GC I and GC II added at some point so people could play them all at once. And there will always be more with expansions. And, who knows, maybe there will be DLC someday. More to the point, when

Reply to No UFP Meeting in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

You do indeed need to meet up with 50% of the major factions before the countdown to the first UP meeting is triggered (in your case, 16). This can be... problematic for games with tons of factions. Something for the devs to think about, perhaps. Either lower the amount for games with lots of races/map size OR make it a set time, number of contacts be damned.

For being too OP presumably (or at least too OP when combined with Prolific). In fact no faction starts out with it, although it is still available to custom factions.

Reply to My experience with the Founder System in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

Well, if we're playing the "I'm ahead/behind" game, obviously the people who wait 'till 2022 or so will "win" when an "end of development" bundle goes out (as I am sure it will). Then again, there's the group who buys in 2025 or so when said bundle is 80% off (or more). c'course, you do have to sit a bit to "win", which some might consider a "loss"', but there you are. ;) That being said, and taking my ton
