Reply to Thoughts, Opinions and Suggestions in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

We probably need to do a better job of communicating this. But assigning a governor isn't just having a person in charge of the planet. Its dedicating resources to changing the planet from a small group of colonists scratching out a meager exitance there with whatever resources the colony ship provides, into a world with cities, factories, and amusement parks. Where entire generations live, grow, and raise their families. The assigning governor function is just the way that decision i

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="8" id="3810683"]I like the option idea. Something else I was talking about is at least giving the colonies an auto build option. You could just carry over code from three. my safari on my iPhone says the security on this website is outdated. ok those are core features that are on by default. What I’m talking about is options.

Reply to Colony changes hands in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Old-Spider is correct. But in the next update the pirates will start building more ships from their shipyards. I also need to check and make sure that when your colony is taken there is a notification for it. I hope that there was and you just missed it, but I'm not sure. If it's missing I'll make sure we add it.

We won't be looking at translation until closer to release. There is too much text changing to go out for translation right now. As for the specific languages we support, it will depend on what did well on other titles. But we would love nothing more than to have it available in all languages people want to play it in.

Reply to A funny thing about making core worlds... in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

We want to support both: The ability to switch which core world a colony feeds into. BUT this should be a rare event (remember decay means that 99% of the time you will want your colony to go to the closest core world). We don't want players to feel like they have to micro all their colonies to be effective so this should just be a way to handle unusual situations (and not required at all for more casual players). For example, you might have 2 core worlds right beside each othe

Reply to A funny thing about making core worlds... in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

You are right. Early in development, we talked about people feeling like they have to make every world a core world in order to be competitive. Then they still end up having to manage tons of worlds frustrated because they were out of governors, etc. But the math works out exactly as you say. It's generally better to make all of your worlds colonies and have them feed into one core world where all the bonuses are applied (exactly as you stated). But this is not always

Ideology is going through a major overhaul for the next update. The reason artifacts no longer give adjacency bonuses is that once you upgrade them you get the charges and the tile is cleared. If it gave an adjacency bonus then you would place something beside it counting on that bonus and be cheated when the bonus was gone. Ship Upgrades are used when your ship levels up, not in the shipyard. So if you got an upgrade from a mission, or researching an anomally, when a ship lev

Reply to Galactic Civilizations IV: EA Patch 1 in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="MizzouRah71" reply="4" id="3808894"] Is the test branch a separate install (game) or does that just install a patch to the stable version? Just wondering if that will install 2 separate copies of GCIV? [/quote] The test branch will install a completely seperate version of the game (os it will take double the disk space of just having the main version).

[quote who="kallussed" reply="36" id="3808777"] Was a GC3 Founder with money in hand, but Epic Games Store is a hard pass for me. I guess I'll pick it up after the exclusivity ends. Best of luck folks! [/quote] Thank you. We look forward to getting your feedback when you are able to jump in.

Reply to How to change Language with Epic Games in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Foreign languages are available in the Epic version, "Test Branch" build. This is a separate game install version than the normal game where we test out new functionality. You will see it as a separate game in your Epic library. On the "Test Branch" build go into options, Interface and select the language you would like to play the game in. Please let us know if you have any issues.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III v4.1 in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

The optin has been updated. The big changes in this version are that you can select languages in-game (this was important for Epic players because the epic client doesn't allow you to install different files based on the language). It also adds the ability to play music/sfx if the game is installed to a non-ascii directory. This is the last of the bugs dealing with odd directory names so we should now fully support them.

[quote who="Ulkidos3967" reply="15" id="3797576"] I meant "Startup Options" for Steam or "Advanced Command Line Arguments" for Epic Games. In which you can enter the command like to select the desired language. [/quote] Gotcha. Sorry, I thought you were asking about command line options in general.
