I like the changes that come with the patches. So not everyone is complaining. Your perceptions are your own. We all see what we are looking for on Internet forums.

0.05 is added to the base which then gets percentage bonuses. 5% is one of those bonuses. It makes more difference if you have other bonuses to apply to your base. However, percentage bonuses applied to .05 additional base won't be a huge difference. Still, it should be done correctly.

Reply to A few questions and Suggestions. in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

You can't see the Pirates because they are hiding, cleverly waiting to ambush an unsuspecting Survey Ship. I don't know where they are hiding out there in the empty space that usually surrounds a Precursor Anomaly. If I did know, I wouldn''t tell you because Space Pirates are vengeful towards people who reveal their secrets. I do think Pirates need to update weapons and hulls over time, especially the ones guarding precursor anomalies. Theoretically

Reply to Some ideas for mercenaries in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

Judging from the dev stream, the intention is to let them be a limited resource in large maps with numbers of factions, as something to compete for or lose out on. I am not seeing any likelihood of changing that unless there are a lot of requests like this.

I have to speak up and say that founders who stood by you from the start don't deserve that kind of change in the support system. However, you do what you need to do. Review submitted. Tell Paul and the crew thanks for the work.

[quote who="neilkaz" reply="2" id="3620054"] Interesting as I selected it early in my ongoing game and am rather sure that it always paid. I do recall that when I took the lone precursor relic that I found, it didn't pay the extra 100 but perhaps that wasn't intended. [/quote] I have to report that it does indeed add 100 credits to a precursor relic. The relic popup gave the relic bonus and its credits and the 100 credit bonus for Ysengard was al

Reply to [1.6 beta] There aren't nearly enough Precursor relics now, etc etc in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

[quote quoting="post"] As it is now, people buying the DLC will be unhappy to rarely encounter a PC relic. [/quote] People buying the DLC now will think that is the way it is supposed to work and that precursor relics are very special and worth celebrating. Unless, of course, someone convinces them they are being cheated somehow. It is a matter of perspective.

[quote who="MacsenLP" reply="13" id="3619781"] People would have said that about Firaxis's Civilizations series once... although not everyone likes the changes since Civ 4 I haven't heard many complain about the lack of tech trading. I'd be surprised if people want it back in Civ 6. Some posters have mentioned the AI getting smarter in future updates, I think you're massively overestimating Stardock's ability to balance this system and how much

Reply to Get rid of tech trading in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

I understand your points and how disabling tech trade does not address all of your issues. I fully expect the AI to get smarter and smarter over time, and more difficult to exploit. That is the strategy Stardock uses for AI development. If the purpose of your proposal is to make up for AI deficiencies, I would prefer to take the more patient approach and let the devs keep working on the AI instead of redesigning the game and the 4X genre. As many people point out, tech

Reply to Multiplayer Disaster (please fix) in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

As an additional data point or two: Seilore and I were able to create a two person game with 1.6 and custom factions. It took many tries. The changing faction event happened to Seilore several times. A major issue we had was that any human error in communicating, choosing, and implementing the initial settings required a complete exit and re-setup. This greatly complicated recovering from technical issues. We were unable to successfully join together unle

Camera Shake in 1.6 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I know the Beta is about feedback for bugs and not about aesthetics, but I have to object to the camera shake effect in the Battle Viewer. I can ignore physics reality immersion issues if I have to, even though it bothers me tremendously that blowing up one tiny pirate ship shakes the whole universe every time. What if it only happened for Huge hulls? I cannot take the visual effect, myself. I find it jarring to my eyes. I also find it gets extremely re

Reply to Missing Buttons in Galactic Civilizations Series GalCiv3 Forums

Adding a confirmation button would be a pain for the 99% of the time you hit the right button. I suggest moving the buttons around on the dialogue box. I have definitely done exactly the same mistake many times, and it is highly annoying, but I am not willing to put up with an "Are You Sure" nag just because I am on finger autopilot sometimes. I don't encourage retreat in my soldiers or admirals. Die like the space cannon fodder you are! ;)

The best I can see is that it doesn't happen to me unless I click inside one of the other techs in the other screens. So I don't do that. Then I can look at the other branches. I notice that you can single click on a specialization choice spot and expand it without actually selecting one of the specializations. So, if you are clicking in the white space on the other pages and that is changing your selection, you should definitely submit a ticket.
