Reply to Mini Map in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

I was actually terrified at the thought of not having a minimap way way back when we removed it. But I was shocked at how little I missed it. GC4 scale is so large that the minimap is useless (as weird as that sounds). It's also so easy to change zoom that you can check those things when you want. Traditionally minimap's were created when zooming in and out was either impossible or difficult. So yes you are right, the "minimap" has been replaced by multiple zoom levels.

[quote quoting="post"]Here is some feedback from several maps I played. Mimot – As you know, Mimot produce 2 ships when they build 1. About 50% of the time, when producing ships, there will be a produced ship that doesn’t join a the local fleet sitting right outside the shipyard.[/quote] Non-military ships don't auto join fleets for the double power of the mimot. The reason for this is that it was frustrating to have fleeted colony ships, probes, etc. So the

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="2" id="3839100"] If you hover over the citizen does it show that they have an ideology? I think what that message is trying to say is that the citizen's ideology is opposed to one of the ideologies you've spent culture points in. Not 100% sure of that though. [/quote] Publius is right. The citizen has an ideology, it is opposed to the civilizations. For example, the citizen might have the "Authoritarian" ideology trait (you should see this t

I believe it was something like planet X is unhappy. That would then open the planet window, which would be blank except for the toolbar up top. Esc didn't work, and I was able to get out of it by clicking on the research bar in the toolbar. But then after that, the planet screen had the issue you speak of. The menu only stu

I am totally confused on this one. Are all our ships going to be auto-upgraded to the newest weapons and armor when the techs are researched?

Reply to Planet Management is a Step Back in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Personally, I think citizens aren't landing as much as I like (I like it but it lacks the umpf I was expecting). I really like different species on planets and citizens having different things that impact their approval. It's the specializing process that feels soft. But I have been surprised how much I like the District mechanic for making it so easy to visually read my planets and specialize them. And I do like the governors a lot, though I'd love to see more done with them.

We are going to make two changes: 1. We are changing the circle logic to be more accurate. 2.
