[quote who="erischild" reply="9" id="3682283"] I believe in the concepts of primary Ideology and Ideology purity. As you accrue Ideology Points, whichever major Ideology has the most of your points is your primary Ideology. That is how you get diplomatically labelled. The ratio of your primary ideology to your total points is your purity ranking. This raises your diplomacy rating with factions of the same ideology and lowers the diplomacy rating with the two

I said long ago that I think the Ideology system would be better with like one choice per turn that does something small.. but the choices add up over time to have effect.... Example turn. "there was a radiation leak on planet x what do you do?" Choice1 "Clean it up spend 10bc credits" +1% moral Choice2 "eh.. quarentine the area and clean it up slowly" 1bc credits loss of 1% moral" Choice3 "who cares?

Balancing of Resources via unique specialization options. in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

So I know that Brad said in a different thread that they were going to be looking at the map generation system and that a large part of this may be due to the strangeness in the map generation. But in every game I have played I find myself with very little Duratanium, Elerium, and AntiMatter with HUGE HUGE HUGE amounts of the other two... The use of strategic resources needs to be balanced... but I was thinking that perhaps it could be balanced in a dif

I agree... I'd rather see more music... like different sound tracks for the different ideologies, or techno in the research screen.. the soundtrack for the game is not bad... but more would be cool! Some audio might be fun... also Stardock need not hire Big name people for the voice acting.... I'm sure Paul and Brad some of the others wouldn't sound horrible with their own voices.... right?

Reply to Further, Aesthetic, immersive improvements I`d like to see.. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Audio files are big.... (as in the amount of system resources they use to work right) given everything else the game does and keeps track of, adding an audio file is a rather large undertaking. It has to be timed with the weapon fire/hit sounds it has to be timed with the ship movements/animations It has to be small enough so as to not have multiple "we have engaged..Taking...battle..evacuate!" overlapping tracks... thats a lot of work

Reply to Reason #45 why Galactic Citizen Pacing/Limits Must Be Re-evaluated in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

One thing I think people miss is that the social production is now completely separate from ship production. Once a planet is built out that social production cannot be added to making ships faster. you can use it to make more spys, citizens, research, or other but it doesn't do anything for your ships... Late game I have been able to crank out a citizen using my best world in 9 turns. so that more than d

Reply to Godlike is too easy. Some feedback for Stardock in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="7" id="3681770"] I agree on some of this. I've spent a lot of time coding on all these points. The biggest problem is they don't let the AI design it's own ships. I only can choose among the crummy ships that it generates. It's very very frustrating. At some point we will probably write a full on ship designer AI. But that's like a solid 2 months of work.

Reply to Why still have Social Manufacturing Tile Bonuses? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Stardock just needs to make some wonders that make use of social construction bonuses... that raise social construction across the empire. I think they have a specific thing in mind for social construction. I also think they rushed things and did not ensure that it was in the game right.

Cities... in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

So just a random thought. Cities never upgrade. You can stack bonuses but the city themselves never get any better. Given the population/morale balance why not have a late game tech that allows cities to upgrade (at high cost, lets say a whole bunch of a whole bunch of resources) to Metropolises

Triple.. My post was not missing your point, just explaining that the current game GCIII focuses on resource management more than Resource Exploration/management. In the current game there is not an easy way to implement this. THAT SAID: Compare Base to Crusade... Stardock totally rebuilt the engine and base mechanics for Crusade. So perhaps in the next expansion they might add some of what
