Reply to Suggestions for a new game in Galactic Civilizations Series GalCiv3 Forums

Try playing a synthetic race. It's a very different situation. also try mixing up the difficult levels per opponent. Put at least one on godlike, a few on genius, some on normal, and few on easy. That produces a natural imbalance in the galaxy that gives military fodder for the more adept civs. Large / Tight Cluster / Uncommon Stars makes a more interesting exploration phase and galactic topography. The mods that provide extra planetary goodies and event are easy

Reply to Stardock: Would you consider just removing the invasion "mini-game" from Crusade? in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="ProudCanadian" reply="24" id="3685368"] I suppose I should have titled my post "would you consider removing/disabling the invasion mini-game until it is fully developed" [/quote] Yes, a better way to say it. Currently, there is only one right way to invade a planet. That isn't an "interesting choice". Therefore, it becomes another layer of useless busywork. It either needs to be removed or improved. (I vote for removed - I'm a

Reply to Very Slow Turns in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Slowness comes from the CPU, not the RAM (unless you have so little RAM that you start page-thrashing your harddrive). The more stuff you have, the more there is to compute. The more economies to crunch, the more AIs thinking out their turns, the more fleets doing pathfinding, etc.

Reply to Very Slow Turns in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Civs at war take substantially longer to process than civs at peace. However, y'all playing on the largest map sizes need to be reasonable about turn times. It's called ludicrous for a reason.

Just make the population exponent a tech and/or race trait. Then everyone can be happy.

[quote]Nightmare torpedoes do loads of damage, but cost loads of antimatter, and antimatter is scarce. Okay. [/quote] That completely depends on your galaxy setup. Two of the last several galaxies i played in had ridiculous levels of antimatter. So when you have antimatter, you make antimatter-aid. If your map has none, you don't.

[quote who="Gauntlet03" reply="1" id="3684814"] It would take work for them to remove it... so why bother? Just auto resolve everything. [/quote] because the auto resolver is currently buggy and frequently loses battles where you have overwhelming 10:1 firepower.

Reply to I don't understand how defeat works in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

When civs get to the end of their line, they often surrender and gift their remaining assets to one of their buddies (which can sometimes even be you). You can disable surrenders in the options menu if that bothers you. the game is very opaque about why you lossed. This is a known issue.

Reply to I don't understand how defeat works in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

The victory conditions available to you are also available to your opponents. If any of them achieve victory before you do, you lose.

Yes, just put all of your legions down on one single hex next to the capital. It's unintuitive silly nonsense, but that is the only way to make it work right now.

Reply to Ground Combat upgrade? in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Ryat" reply="1" id="3684198"] it is a whole lot better than before. [/quote] I would actually disagree. The auto-resolve results in failure even with overwhelming odds, and the tactical game isn't really a game if all i do is plant all of my legions next to the capital. I'm not trying to be unappreciative, but this feature needs to bake longer. Right now it's just a speed bump on my way to conquering the planet.

Reply to Suggestions vs Godlike AI in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Tips: Robots! Synthetic races take a looong time to get rolling, but once they do its a cakewalk. You don't have to deal with morale, loyalty, cities, food production, etc. You just focus on building stuff. Asteroids! These are the single biggest boost to ... well, everything. Mine lots of asteroids, even if that means building a starbase next to a clump in the middle of nowhere just to get your influence over them. Keep the AI busy. If they are fighting wars with each

[quote who="snarfo67" reply="14" id="3683801"] When I have a fleet with a survey ship attacking a defended anomaly I sometimes get... uh... anomalous behavior. If the attack happened at the tail end of a turn where the turn would automatically end and go to the AI turns, I get the attack prompt but then the turn ends before it's resolved. When my turn comes back around again the anomaly is still there and I can still try to attack it--- but nothing happens. The workaround I've found is t

Reply to AI will not trade planetary resources in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

No civ will ever trade a resource if they have any less than 5. Period. What's actually happening is that they refuse to trade >=25% of their stock in any given resource. It's a hardcoded number.

It would also cut down the tedium of mopping them up. The problem is that "terms of surrender" don't mean anything to AI player or anyone exiting the game at that point.

The only reason I've seen to not do this was in that post by Frogboy, where he knew he didn't have enough legions to take the planet but wanted to degrade it by destroying improvements. So he put his legions far away from the capital so that more improvements would be destroyed as they made their way to the capital. [/quote] Right. The issue there is that I already know in advance if I am legion-deficient, so I am goi
