Reply to Hello, some questions about differences from GC2 (or are these bugs?) in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

#1 Yup, seems intended. The 1 building pr turn makes it a bit of an hassle to be honest when you got a huge planet (40'ish #2 Depends what you like I guess. More planets makes specialization less important, so whatever floats your boat really. I am finding 6-8 planets the optimal minimum number for a decent start though. (Large+ map) #3 No

Reply to Is it me or are missile boats OP in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The AI is pretty terrible at countering anything you do. You can probably do the same with beam tech etc. and win too, it's not a missile thing. If the AI beelined point defense, your fleet would be wrecked pretty fast.

It's just more of the same type of the map, so there is some randomness involved when starting a new game, and you won't end up with the same map over and over. I would have liked more randomness scripting, but this is what I could do with the tools at hand. When I get this thing a bit more developed, there should be tons more of maps to explore so you won't see the same thing a lot.

Reply to Simple research mod...I think it will be simple anyway in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

XML isn't the hard part, figuring out what is allowed and what is not is ;) As for renaming, that should be simple, just look in the English/Text/TechdefsText.xml (or any other file with tech in it depending what you want to rename) folder, and rename away. The actual costs should be found in Data/TechDefs.xml

Reply to [MOD] GalaxyMapGenMod in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

This is mainly meant to get going some mapmaking, feel free to use it as a template for your own stuff. Just head into the mod and start editing the template.dds file to create a galaxy map. Sadly it's capped on 4 options due to modding restrictions, so can't keep the default ones, or add more.

[MOD] GalaxyMapGenMod in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

GalaxyMGM features 4 new custom scripts for completely new looking galaxies. Ranging from the well loved 'Big and Small' from the Civilization series,'Isolated', and the plain weird 'Geometrics' script, it should have something for everyone looking for a fresh galaxy to conquer. It will replace the old Scattered, Clustered etc. options in your map generation menu, but hopefully that isn't too big of a loss. There are two versions, one packed with some extra planets

That is kinda lame ;/ Do you know if the 1.1 patch will add more functionality for mods?

Question about map scripts. in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

I am trying to create a better map script since I feel the default ones are lacking. I've located the files needed to be modded, and somewhat figured out how to implement the .dds images on top of that. However, when I try to create my own option to be selected in the menu (Isolated option) instead of the default ones I get this thing: error: value 'Isolated' not in enumeration If I edit the default folder .xsd, I won't get that error, but I am still not

Of if you conquer a planet that doesnt already have one of the improvements. [/quote] I get this bug with the both Preparedness centers and the Malevolent ones, on self-colonized planets. However, it usually takes a lot of turns before I can build another one, but given enough turns it seems I always c

[quote who="starkers" reply="2092" id="3443055"]As for the planet being okay, no it won't! Mankind is too greedy and stupid to stop raping and pillaging it for everything it can extract to amass ever greater profit. Now if the global warming people were actually campaigning for the right cause, rather than something which has too many natural variables to blame it entirely on industry, then I might actually join them. However, I will not support something designed to con

[quote who="davrovana" reply="9" id="3437871"] Quoting StevenAus, reply 4 Well, from what I've seen of the Lost Forge, it is too hard. Something like 4 or 5 Titans casting Despair as well as some Dragons to Fear you so you can't take out the other Titans early. It's just a bit too hard for my tastes. Bummer. Thanks for the feedback, though (there are no more fear-triggers in the mod FYI, you stand a chance to interrupt spells). O

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="45" id="3437505"] Scandalous I like it first someone would have to register the game and download it into their computer. Then copy about 2 gigs on the lash drive then send it to anyone who don't have a game, or do you mean adding this as an install option so you could use this on multiple computers. How would this affect download speeds from the internet.[/quote] I meant those small USB thingies, so no Internet spee

Reply to I don't think i can do this. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

How costly would it be to make a memory stick or something with the game and sending it around to people like OP? Hell, you could make it an option for founders edition, they are paying extra anyway ;) If speed is the issue and not money, you should take advantage of that ^^

Reply to Trade in Galactic Civ 3 ! in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

It would be great to have a complex trade system on the side, so you are not only building banks and stock exchanges everywhere... but I guess implementing complexity like that makes it harder for both AI's and casual players alike. DLC maybe? Something similar to good ol' Colonization that is optional could maybe be fun. Especially if they made moons etc. have valuable resources, so you had to search for them.

How important will cores and graphic cards be? I just have a dual core, and upgrading that is going to be expensive. I.e can a good graphic card compensate somewhat for just 2 cores or will it just be for prettiness mostly?

Reply to Music Feedback in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

Make it different for each race. Metal for Drengins or Yor would work great. Option to change soundtracks included of course ;) But really, music should be an opportunity for indie bands and the like, if you got the right connections, getting some great music done should be cheap.

Reply to AI coding, I can’t even begin to express how excited I am in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

Are you still going to use linear bonuses for AI? Differentiating them via exponential graphs (earlier power peaks etc. for different AI's depending on difficulty) could help balance them at higher difficulty levels, where you usually see one AI performing better overall. (at least it did in Galciv2, and also did it somewhat in FE:LH) Any sort of experimenting would be awesome to be honest, and if you made it moddable, much money will be spent ;)
