[quote who="GalCivius" reply="24" id="3423679"] A visual thing: in GC 2 after you designed nice ships for everyone you found that the AI had the annoying habit to place weapons, engines, defenses and other upgrades in rather absurd spots and sizes, which often resulted in very strange looking AI ships. Maybe there could be something done to mitigate this prob, for example a size limit for those upgrades or the option to turn them to invisible. I'm not really sure if that&

I dislike how much she has been changed from Galactic Civilizations 2; they should have invented a new character or made a less radical change to her. I can understand the evolution of Lord Kona, with his balding head, white hair and tired eyes, or even the redesigned Thalan/Hithesius from the trailer who has only two arms, but taking what is essentially a Human being and essentially giving them whole-body plastic surgery is... offputting. EDIT; She is not Eleys Mue from

'Soft-Coded' Map Sizes in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

"Bigger is better" - Everyone, 100,000 BCE-2013 CE I like big maps. Lots of people like big maps. Stardock understands this and is including maps sizes an order of magnitude above the current maximum in GCII;Immense,which is 21 X 21 Sectors I believe, for a total of 441 sectors. I have no idea what the largest map size will be in GCIII, but I am sure of one thing; it will not stand the test of time. I will, alongside others, eventually grow complacent with the m
