Scott, loaded my save (from turn 69) and continued the game. After completing the spell research the spell book offered me the Heal spell. So got that and started researching it.[e digicons]\o/[/e] Just for the fun of knowing: Loaded up my main army with two scouts, destroyed a few wandering monsters, created another Clerics Ring, and gave the rings to the scouts in the main army. Defeated the bandit hide out, got my horses, loaded up my army with 10 aspects of speed

So i started an insane game at a random large map as the Wizard with Keplin as my primary hero. The starting location was great: 2 tiles with 2 food, no tiles with production whatsoever, 1 tile with 1 essence, and 1 tile with 2 essences around. I like hard games, so i was not too worried. After p

Reply to Population Effects in Raw Production in 1.1 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

During the alpha and early beta i made postings about this and even asked Paul in dev stream and chat about it. If my memory serves me well: he stated that a non-constant growth base would give problems and would break the game and they would not implement a proportional growth or proportional starvation; that if overpopulation would result in starvation then that would give problems with colonizers and transporters in orbit. So unless he has

[quote who="pendrokar" reply="2" id="3567845"] A bit off topic. Thecw, you seem to have experience with XML and possibly XML Schema's. Is it possible for a XML Schema to check if a value is available within another element in another file? In this case I am thinking to check if an InternalName exists for an element that tries to reference such value. [/quote] Not according to the XML standards. A XML schema defines the syntax (and limited validation) for a xml struc

Request/Proposal for better (more granular) modding support in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

As it is. The current modding support for GC3 is completely based on full file replacement, during the load of a mod. While this is very easy to implement and create a mod, it is not very maintenance friendly or suitable for multi mod loading. The ease comes from the fact that you simply copy a standard file to your mod directory, make the changes you wish and that is it. The problems arrive when there is an update of the game (that changes the or

1. Stat modification calculation. Re-evaluation of the stat modification formulas. Currently percental modifiers are cummulative which lead to very strange and game breaking effects. All object stats seem to be modified like this. I would like SD to, where possible, use compound percental modifiers.
