Reply to Compatibility for mobile gamers. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Simplified game, easier AI, less complexity, to be compatible with phones and tablets. Kids mode, a way for children to learn. Also more women need to play strategy games and not mojung or angry birds in the current market as 4X is widely unknown to people who get their games from the top ten in the app store. Please put this mode in the game, let children and women learn to love 4X and not candy crush saga and GTA. <br

Reproduction in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

For some reason i just started wondering how reproduction works for the different species in galciv. We all know how it works for humans: there are males and females who sexually reproduce through intercourse, with litter size typically being 1 or 2. Pair bonding between parents is common and the parents take care of the children until they are fully matured. A female can produce well over a dozen children over her lifetime, but the actual amount of children depen

No man, get options on what to do with a captured spy: -attempt to find out who he is working for, success depends on spy stuff and is not guaranteed. ideology affects how "enhanced" your interrogation is. -tell the person who he is working for or not, both with consequences, with the option to accuse the wrong person if you failed to find out who he works for. -attempt to turn the spy and turn him into a double agent -release the spy back to emp

nukes actually dont work very well as explosives in space, because there is no atmosphere to create a shockwave with. Furthermore most of the blast will not be centered on your target, and its hard to make a shaped charge nuke. On top of that the EMP will hurt you as bad as it will the enemy. So i wouldn't shoot em at poor trade ships. Nukes by themselves also don't really take away a lot of air, let alone atmosphere. Removing oxygen and/or the atmosphere in a s

meteors, for invasion they are cheaper and a lot more deadly. Tho admittedly as long as you stick to airburst nukes you probably have less to clean up after.

Reply to More games are sold digital compared to the 8% are physical. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The only reason people use brick and mortar stores is because they have to. Brick and mortar stores have (had) publishers by the balls and they know it and abuse it, so don't be surprised to see publishers and developers drop brick and mortar stores as soon as it's financially viable. Brick and mortar stores still hold a large percentage of sales for consoles. (and that is before even considering that in a digital sale you get 70% of the transaction, while in a physical transaction yo
