One of which I am 90% certain is declaring war with a faction that one is currently trading resources with. I suppose the idea being, you are paying for 50 turns of resource usage but then turn around stab the trading partner in the back when one felt like it. I don't t

Reply to Altarian Resistance Goes to War with me for no apparent reason. in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

The bit about being "Close" aside, one of the things to remember about the Altarians is that they're pretty damn militaristic. Their AI personality has "Military" as the third priority with "Fortification" and "Expansion" being fourth and fifth. Ironically, "Diplomacy" is next to last at eighth. Combine that with the "Xenophobic" character trait and I can see them being twitchy if something sets them off. What set them off this time? Who knows. Could b

Reply to Unable to trade some strategic resources to some factions in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I am virtualy certain it has to do with trading a resource to a faction within 50 turns. If you trade, say, Durantium, to a faction you can't trade it again until that first deal is up. I am also almost as certain that this is an exploit nerf so folks with tons of resources don't drain other factions of stuff every 8 turns.

This looks really really great. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Couple of notes though. You mentioned splitting the mod into pieces for those who just wanted the cosmetic changes (which I REALLY appreciate as I have my own Diplomacy tweaks on the side), but I looks like it is the folder "Informative Diplomacy" that has most of the cosmetic changes in it, not "ID Gameplay". Also, it looks like you didn't transfer one of the files that DOES modify Diplom

Reply to A tablet version in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

Paul said in the Anniversary stream that there are no plans for a mobile version of the game, even stripped down to tiny/small maps, since they feel that there is no way that they could make money in the market as it currently stands. Whether or not they ever change their minds and/or Brad has a different outlook only time will tell. But at the moment it doesn't look like it.

I would suppose one of the reasons for this change was the presence of asteroid mining. Whether or not it is still a nerf when mining is factored in I will leave for others to decide.

Reply to [Bug] [1.8 opt-in] Colonization Event Info Not Displaying On Initial Colonization; is displaying later in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

While doing some brute force testing on this (cheating up 100 colony ships and sending them out into the night), I did notice one very odd thing. The planetary event that can add a tile to a planet (Swamped) will NOT add that tile to a planet until either the initial planetary info screen is closed or something is done to the planet (a building ordered or a project started). Then that tile will suddenly pop up on the screen. This makes me think there is some sort of buffer
