Onyx Growth Rate in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

So I tried the Onyx Hive for the first time in my new playthrough. Is it just me or is their a problem with their growth rate? There growth rate is meant to be linked to your Promethion supplies. However when you mouse over the growth rate on a colony there is no modifier for Promethion. In my game I had a fairly high amount of Promethion supplies yet I was looking at 15 to 20 turns for 1 pop growth. This doesn't seem right to me.

Question about tourism. in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Guys, I have a question about tourism. Based on the tooltip tourism boosts your economy and influence. Sure enough when you mouse over the worlds economic and influence outputs you see a percentage from tourism. However I noticed that if you add both theses modifiers its always a few percentage points short of the total tourism generated by the planet. Is this a bug or on purpose?

I'm currently in the middle of a Mimot and I agree the double ship bonus gets out of hand fast. Interesting note if you build any of the unique ships they also get doubled!

Why not a governor per sector? Or star syst

Reply to Culture Points, a handful of missions then nothing? in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="16" id="3838518"] I think we should name them ideology points and ideological awareness. I'm not sold on the concept of it being a two-step thing. Instead, perhaps there should simply be ideological points earned in different categories that automatically unlock stuff once you have enough. The problem I see there is that the player doesn't get enough awareness of what these choices mean. B

Questions about colony upgrades in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Can someone explain colony upgrades to me? I see it costs a resource called nanobots, how do you get them? In my game I had 3 core worlds and the colony upgrade icon only appeared on 1 of them, what determines what upgrades are available and what colonies get them? The core world that had the upgrade icon presented 2 options. 1) Satellite network that increased the morale of the world (fairly straight forward). 2) Orbital depot that reduces decay by 10%

Reply to The "Gain 2 additional tiles on every Planet" Trait Does Not Work in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

The artifact that increases planet by 2 tiles and farming by 1 is bugged also. I will increase farming by 1 but will only grant 1 extra land tile instead of 2. Also the tile it does provide is usually never adjacent to any existing tiles and often will not display a terrain graphic or description.

Reply to GalCiv IV Dev Journal #4 - A Guided ALPHA Tour in GalCiv IV Dev Journals GalCiv4 Forums

I must say the alpha for GC4 is so much more polished and and feature complete than the alpha for GC3 so bravo. So far I'm really enjoying this and look forward to the future. However 1 thing is really bugging me. Why do you do you need to load a citizen into a constructor when its built? Is this a bug or a design decision?

Constructors in the alpha in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Whats the reasoning behind being forced to load a citizen into a constructor when its built. Is this this just a bug? It doesn't seem to have any impact on the station it builds.

Reply to Early Access is Now Available for Galactic Civilizations IV in GalCiv News GalCiv4 Forums

So very early thoughts after a f ew hours. -I like the citizen centric approach. I particular like how each individual citizen has different stats and ideological leanings, it makes loading up colony ships more interesting (like exporting all your criminals to some backwater outpost), it reminds a lot of the political system in Endless Space 2 (which I thought was a particularly good system). Will there be other ways to export unwanted citizens other than colony ships?&nbs

Thruster cost and promethion precursor bug in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

In the tech tree and your own chamgc logs all thrusters should have a mass of 1 however in the ship designer the mass is the same as it used to be. Also when you colonize a promethion precursor the tool tip says you should get +5 promethion but it doesn't happen. I'm currently running the latest opt in parch for retribution.

Question about legions and Transports in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hi Guys, Up until recently I've only tried diplo and science victories. I've started going for conquest victories recently so my experience with legions has been pretty minimal up until now. I have 2 questions. 1. When I unlocked the general citizen type I trained up a general to get the 5 legions that comes with it. However I noticed a few turns later that I actually gad 15 legions. Did I get 10 for

Horemvore I jusy played a game with mods disabled. I was able to form a few alliances quickly enough i notices that the alliances reqiured a standing of 9 (with mods enabled its 16). Im guessing that 16 is beyond the maximum which i think is 10.

Sorry maybe for not explaining more clearly. Im playing benevolant and picked all benevolant/pragmatic oponenents to reduce the different ideology modifier. I have some "you are ripe for conquest" but overall all races are extremely positive towards me. My problem is that my standing rose steadily to 10 but its not increasing even when my diplo score is very high and after a lot of turns. I was just wondering is some specific road block in place at 10

Reply to [MOD] Two Way Treaties and Alliances. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Horemvore I installed the improved diplomacy and 2 way treaties in crusade and they are excellent. However I have 2 questions. Alliances require a standing of 16 however I seem to be stuck on a standing of 10 with most of the other races with little to no negative modifiers. What do I need to do to make the jump to 16? I noticed one civ I was trading with that I had a plus 1 modifier on the diplo screen which surprised me because this had bee

Reply to Crusade first impressions in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Firsrly i must commemd Stardock with there bravery to basiccally rebuild a game from the ground up. it was a bold move that paid off in my opinion. I played GalCiv 3 from alpha stage but my interest significantly wained after Mercs. Howecer Crusade has totally reinvigorated the game dor me and maddiction is back with a vengence (much to my wifes dismay). I love the new citizen mechanic but more than that I love how resources matter now! Ive only sc
