[quote who="Piglet5350" reply="2" id="3848459"] Does that 'Workshop' feature mean Steam Workshop support (in other words is the game coming to Steam at release?), or is it an in-game mod interface also called Workshop? [/quote] The in game user content sharing is also called the Workshop. It is all in game, and all supported by Stardock's systems. Meaning that no matter what platform GC4 goes to, players will be able to create and share content with each other.

0.95 has been released on test. We have fixed some desync issues. But we are spending today hunting for more. Cari has given QA some special code to help isolate and identify desync issues. So its an area we continue to work on.

[quote who="Arcean_Endgame" reply="2" id="3847920"]I'm guessing this is a typing error and "more likely" is supposed to be "less likely."[/quote] Nope. Basically the AI wouldn't consider worlds under planet class 20 for core worlds. Now it's a little less picky. It keeps the AI from being shipyard constrained when it has limited options.

Reply to No Commander Ship are available in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

Im not able to repro this with 0.92. It would have been an issue if the civ was created with an earlier version. But any civ created with 0.92 or later should have a default command ship selection, even if the player didn't specifically pick one.

Yeah, that's a good point on the Navigators.

Reply to An early race tier list in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

For me, the Navigators and the Xeloxi are the hardest to play. It's almost like playing at a higher difficulty level. I almost put a warning on them "Not intended for beginning players". The Mimot are the true villian of the galaxy of course and everytime I start beside them I die a little inside. They are getting a little nerf in the next update (less food on their homeworld, higher food consumption) because I want Mimot players to worry about keeping their little furry monsters fed.

This is great feedback, thank you. I'm going to make the following changes: Representation- All colonies generate Influence. Devotion- +2 Control per Turn and all leaders get the Tradition ideology. Negotiators- +3 Diplomatic Capital per turn. Planning- +8 Logistics (instead of +10). Please continue to let me know what are your favorite and least favorite culture traits.

Reply to 0.91 Mimot review in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

As for the Mimot. I want the player to feel like they are ravenous little monsters so I agree with the suggestions to decrease the food on their starting planet. It isn't about "nerfing" them. But forcing the player to make different decisions as they are playing them. And I want non-Mimot players to have them on their worlds to love/hate them. So increasing their food requirement is a good idea too. Im going to tweak both slightly.

[quote who="slarjy" reply="21" id="3846461"] That's the problem, you really can't. Pacifist strategies (diplomatic, mercantile, influence, or tourism) are completely unviable. You have to establish your own sector so you have to either win a war or stack the map so you can sandbox. If someone could prove me wrong, they would have done it by now.

Reply to Prescient Governors in Galactic Civilizations IV Stardock.net Forums

Thanks for this. I think this trait is way too impactful. It overly punishes a player who hires a governor because they had nice stats and didn't look carefully at their traits. Im going to reduce the research boost to +20% and the manufacturing penalty to -10%.

I love my communication starbases, but I do pick my targets carefully. I set some up along the Drengin border when the Dengin were the top player in the game. They did not like it and did exactly as you said. Declared war and took out the starbases quickly. Fortunately, I love the Manti because of all their Survey Command ships and had gone heavy into them. I recalled all the Comm

Reply to Influence Districts and Improvements in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Influence is better done through Communications Starbases (for culture flipping). But you are right that Influence Districts are just generally weak. I'm going to boost their adjacency bonus, giving +2 to other Influence improvements and +1 to adjacent approval districts.

[quote who="Basilisk83" reply="5" id="3845863"] ok, so word on the street it seems is that missiles are still the best due to the first strike ranged attack ability. kinetic being 1 stronger and beams being a little cheaper while having 1 less dmg are both still not worth that ranged attack ability. so here's a quick fix i recommend to switch things up a little more to help even it... Missiles: have the best special ability, so they should have the weakest attack. base 2.<br /

That's interesting. I also worry that giving range to everyone will make missiles less special. I wonder if it would be cool if kinetic attacks disabled repair for a time?

[quote who="Basilisk83" reply="3" id="3845459"] seems like missiles are still going to be best if they have the same manufacturing cost and dmg as kinetic, but missiles still have the long-range ability. and beams are going to be very hard for people to build a lot of upgraded ones since elerium is the hardest resource to mine, and most people can build smaller ships with the other weapon types in a turn anyway, so beams are just gunna usually be a bad choice for smaller ships i think un

Reply to 0.81 Yor at 300 Turns. in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Great writeup. The Yor already have no expectations and higher than normal approval (base 60 instead of 50). Im going to bump their base approval further so they are more content. I also like the Yor as the tall (big planet) civ. I might block them from having overcrowding penalties and the pop max peanlty.
