[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="10" id="3415711"] What I don't like about them is that they seem to colonize worlds but then do nothing with them. They don't even put a starport on them. It greatly annoys me because I can keep up with them and sometimes they nab planets I would have put to good use. This is on games where there are a lot of worlds to go colonize.[/quote] I've seen them take over 75% of an immense galaxy with 8 other AI's and myself

But OP; start playing on suicidal. and the sheer number of enemies will simply inundate whatever stupid quirks the AI has. For instance, I was playing against the Drengin on suicidal, only for them to find the telenath and get like +3000% race abilities across the board. They had this weird little bug where they wouldn't move around some of their ships, and they just sat there like stupid, red bricks that looked like fish. However, there were so many of them (Literally tens of tho

Also, everybody can be a Krynn (even that Drengin over there), because they are a religion, not a race.

Reply to Ship Editor in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I know for certain that there will be component auto-symmetry feature, so creating mirror symmetry should be much easier. That being said, it's probably not feasible to seriously augment the ship designer they have in development at this moment, maybe in the first expansion? That being said, all of these are good ideas :3

Reply to Plant-it in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm not sure about this: On one hand, this would be a very interesting in that it could add several new dynamics to the relatively stale planet management, but on the other hand this looks like this would add huge amounts of complexity and micromanagement. And when you consider multiplayer, this may be a bit much. It's a good idea, but not for Galactic Civilizations 3 in my opinion.

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="15" id="3413930"] Agreed. The GalCiv series always had some RPG elements (race customisation, the Ship Designer, unique dialog depending on the race played, etc.). None of that is necessary in a strategy game. However, I would hate to lose it, because that is part of what I like about this series.[/quote] I personally like to roleplay the different races and their motivations, and rationalize my actions in the game :D Really ad

[quote who="Tridus" reply="3" id="3413760"] It would be cool. I'd imagine ots also harder to build. Hopefully they don't do what Spore did and spend the entire budget on the editor, leaving only a shallow game surrounding it. [/quote] Look at you, the big comedian. lol

Free-form vs Hardpoint Ship Components in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yo. Ever hear of a game called Spore? Well, hopefully not since it's a nut-crushingly shallow excuse for a game, but it did many things right. The thing it did best was the creature and vehicle creator, which if you played it, you know how flexible it was: <img src="http://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/14/23/15/45/spo

[quote who="Tridus" reply="28" id="3413244"] Exactly. The question shouldn't be if it works that way in real life or not. The questions are: 1. Is it fun? 2. Is it useful to the game? 3. Is it close enough that suspension of disbelief works? I don't see how depleting resources are adding much to the game compared to how it was handled previously.[/quote] Very nice.

Reply to Please Create a Living and Breathing Galaxy in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I want civilian ships! Let them dart around in real time, since they would be cosmetic. This would be like Sins of a Solar Empire, where as a Trader Emergency Coalition player I had hundreds of trade ships and refinery ships. Such a small detail, but little autonomous ships add so much atmosphere. Adding planetary details and interstellar topography would go a long way in bringing the main map alive as well

But responding to you on the realism front, you should keep in mind that we wouldn't use resources for just ship building in this setting, we would consume vastly more building space stations, improvements on planets and in research, completely ignoring "off-screen" consumption building cities and consumer items. This alone would increase resource consumption t

Reply to Enriching the galaxy in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I would really like for uninhabitable planets to not be useless as you said. Mining Helium-2 from gas giants also sounds like a prospect, provided it didn't introduce unneeded micro (like redirecting asteroid bases, ugh). I would also like for there to be potentially habitable moons, as well as multiple moons per planet. or around planets that also have rings. I dunno', there's a lot of unknowns at the moment that could preclude any of this :c
