Reply to [eMod][LH] AI Plus in LH Modding Elemental Forums

[quote who="davrovana" reply="35" id="3447201"] DsRaider- Downloaded this and looked it over. Gonna give playing it a shot. Just curious, how did you get rid of the old unit designs you don't like? Giving new tags to the old units by name, or effectively shutting off old units?[/quote] From the previous discussion I can assume that by manually removing the file that contains them. :)

Reply to [eMod][LH] AI Plus in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Hi, is there anything the mod can do for AI just sitting being shot at during some battles? (where it judges the attack to be risky, but instead waits and losses all its units to ranged attack without inflicting a single loss on the enemy).

Reply to AI does not understand ranged combat in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Yes, it was this faction, but the issue is not really if they had ranged units or not but them sitting instead of acting. I would have lost this battle should they attack, their army had twice the HP my did, they would suffer terrible losses but win.

AI does not understand ranged combat in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Playing on expert, I had today a fight with a much, much stronger army that I won without a single loss. There were two choke points on the map, I positioned my units so that each AI unit would have to fight 2 of mine. The AI chose not to attack and wait for me to leave the position. Not a bad idea in itself, but I had 2 mages units and the AI had zero ranged units. So it just waited skipping its moves until all its units were dead. I understand it is hard to program a smart AI, but adding so

[quote who="jecy99" reply="80" id="3413853"] Quoting Illauna, reply 6 From the FAQ Q: What are the requirements to run Galactic Civilizations III?A:It will require a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or 8 along with a DirectX 10 or 11 compatible video card. There will be no 32-bit version. Most PC gamers in 2013 have this kind of hardware, and it allows us to create the best game possible for the majority of our customers.

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="70" id="3411185"] Quoting borsook_bearro, reply 68I'm sorry but do you have any of the new Stardock games? i.e. after GalCiv2? If not you should know that their policy is to require you to log in into your stardock account before you can run the game, you have to it with steam version also. You have to do a one-time online-activation before you can play a Stardock-game. Part of that is registering the game with your Stardock-account. Yo

[quote who="Meth" reply="67" id="3406177"] Quoting borsook_bearro, reply 56 Well, if all of this is such a problem for you how about you log out of steam? This is the root of the problem here, you left your account logged in. Of course there are other workarounds possible, I for one have all my saves hardlinked to a dropbox account. Of course I am not saying there is no need for improvement in the way steam handles this, there surely is. This makes no sense.

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="54" id="3405665"] There's nothing wrong with Windows 8, and it's performance is better. If you are going to upgrade, go Windows 8. [/quote] That's not always a good recommendation. I did it and all the USB 3 ports stopped working, upon investigating it appeared to be a common problem, in win 8 all the USB 3 drivers are written by Microsoft and not hardware manufacturers. So check compatibility before you upgrade.<

Except Steam is a poorly implemented piece of software for a multi-user environment. If you have it log in automatically that setting is stored for ALL users instead of in your own profile. This means every user of that computer (even guest!) will be able to play your games. I have no idea why

[quote who="antibor" reply="40" id="3405483"] Will it (I mean the final GC3) be sold exclusively via Steam? When I try to play one of my few Steam games, I am welcomed by the Steam update. While waiting for it to complete I usually lose the interest to actually play. Then Steam forces me to re- login, kindly forgeting my password (for sure in my defense) that I have to dig up. Once logged in I am invaded by the great offers of the day. Then I can (could) s

[quote who="Meth" reply="38" id="3405437"] How does this differ from what I said? I already stated it is possible to use it as only a digital distribution platform and sure some games do that, listing one doesn't mean anything. My entire point was that Steam didn't have to be DRM but more often then not is. If GalCiv3 is going to be steam only I'd like assurances that it is in fact not using Steam as DRM but I strongly suspect that it is because

[quote who="Meth" reply="33" id="3405387"] I really don't want a Steam version. While it is true Steam doesn't have to be DRM it usually is. It is possible to use Steam as a digital delivery platform only but almost no one actually does this. An easy test is: Can I install GalCiv 3 from Steam then UNINSTALL STEAM and have GalCiv remain and continue to function (although without automated updates). It is my understanding that a rare few games us

[quote who="Illauna" reply="30" id="3405317"] /facepalm Don't buy it if you don't agree with Stardock's "sneaky tactics". I for one will enjoy the next GalCiv3.[/quote] That said - I started this thread because the info about Steam wasn't clearly visible and I wasn't sure about it. And I love Steam, I don't consider it to be DRM and want the game to be on this platform. So maybe that information should be given a little more clearly...

[quote who="kryo" reply="17" id="3404682"] Quoting Galacticruler5000, reply 16right as I think about migrating to a linux system on an ancient PC that barely runs GCIIUE? If your machine can barely run a game released in 2006, I suspect a game from 2014/2015 would be unfortunately out of its reach regardless of the OS.[/quote] Good point :) Still with SteamOS on the horizon a linux version of GalCiv3 would be a good idea :)
