I think you guys are missing the OP point.... This is not a glitch or a hack to beat the game... This took a rediculous amount of work to pull off in a... huh I wonder if I can do this thing that really shouldn't be done... Each colony ship requires an Administrator to build. The number of Colony ships he would need to ferry population from other worlds to this one to boost the population is probably significant enough that on

Thank you for your comments guys. I don't want this post to sound negative. GCIII has made massive strides and is a fun game that I've spent many many hours on. I just feel that especially at end game there are some areas that could use some tweaking to keep the game interesting and the player involved. I also think that new colonies should have more of a production/finance hit on a government than a moral hit...

.... what race are you playing? Tourism is currently less broken than it was previously, but it is still vastly over-powered....

I love the one where you discover that you are actually a simulation and try to make contact with the being running the simulation... the humor is really good. though I failed horribly and had my world blow up.

One other thing that would massively help balance the game... Planets should need to build like a port of Call or a customs office or something similar to tap into the tourism money. It is really game breaking late int he game where new planets gain hundreds or thousands of credits before a player has even built anything. new colonies should have higher upkeep.. and that upkeep should be mitigated by the government styles.... but never ever ever should a n

huh... so there IS a rally point thing... just hidden on the other side of the screen on a bunch of buttons I seem to have never clicked before... ignore point 1 Points 2, 3 and 4 still stand ;)

Little things that could really make the game better... in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

So the end game of Gal Civ ends up being more tedious than it needs to be. This is a list of very minor things that would make the game more manageable with less clicky redundancy. 1. In GC2 there was a set rally point button. In GCIII you can only set rally points from a ship

Odd.. here I was wishing they were more common. or some sort of government choice thing like them.

It appears to be tied to the Extravaganza building... not the actual research of the tech.

Hmmm, I saw significant influence drops every time I created a commonwealth... though thinking about it this could just be because of some mechanic that gives % of the total for the calculation of influence. As I said I need to play several more games just to put my initial thoughts into full focus. Mostly at this time the whole government system is very poorly implemented in my opinion.

As a founder I have gotten the to enjoy this game from the early beta all the way through to the current version and see the blood sweat and tears that have gone into it's development. It has come a very very long way. It is hands down a better game now than it was when it launched. I know it will be a better game in two years than it is now. However... it really feels like it is still a work in progress. It seems that the AI is n

Once I researched Galactic Cruise lines, I could no longer build the Port of Call building on any planets. (Founder so intrigue with all DLC)

Reply to a few teething issues with colonies and commonwealths in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It shouldn't matter the map size... the game should be able to do simple math and have each level of the governments give a % of total habitable planets... or up it to number of planets that a civ has the technological ability to settle on.

I'm holding judgement until they actually release all of the mechanics for Intrigue.... I suspect this is more balanced than it appears... I could be wrong however.

How is this a Game Killer? Freighters seem to be the only thing that goes beyond the range... and the AI does not use them for scouting so I'm just confused as to why this is such a big sticking point.

Easier fix.... Just make a hot key that brings up the ship designer... GCII had a ton of hot keys... K was my favorite.... I still find myself hitting K and being irritated that it does nothing...

Reply to Learning Curve Difficulties in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Plan to lose...... Save often. go back to previous saves if an idea does not work. Because of the adjacency bonuses it is best to focus on one thing for each planet. Start by building one planet with all the manufacturing stuff...and your next planet with all the research stuff.... and the next with some economy. I'd suggest playing Benevolent or Malevolent first and focusing on that Ideology.. jus

Reply to Learning Curve Difficulties in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Don't design any new races until you play through with the standard races. Start with a medium or large map with only a handful of races... 2-6 Play as the standard humans to start with. Beyond that, what areas or concepts are you getting stuck on?

Hey Stardock.... hear that? you guys are a big game company now!!! I think Brad would say that Games are the passion, but I think object desktop and Windows Binds and such are still Stardock's bread and butter.... I guess i've always viewed Stardock as like... if Adobe made Photoshop... and these cool games on the side.

Reply to How are Carriers Now? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yes, this was broken at some point in the recent past. The fighters always spawn based on your best tech... the type of carrier no longer seems to matter. Making the carrier's be capitol ships rather than support Helps encourage the game to spawn assault fighters rather than guardians, but in general, if your defensive tech is better than your weapon's tech... you will get guardians.

Why are the forums broken.. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

So... why are the forums broken? I can still crate a post in say Future ideas, but there is no longer a future ideas filter. General game stuff and the forum ban game crap is showing up in the Galactic Civ III discussion... what's going on? can you fix it? please?

[quote who="darknicademis" reply="8" id="3704798"] It says assault fighters on the map, in the designer and on the specific module, but spawns guardians in combat.

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="14" id="3704848"] I mean farms produce food every year unless you use winter crops which is twice a year. Storage would still need to last six months. Maybe the year could be decided on a random basis on how long it takes the planet to go around the sun. Just saying different planets have different day, and year lengths.
