Colony ship sillyness in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

In another thread I mentioned that i changed Colony Ship to Colony Fleet to just add asthetic ideal to the notion that one ship could hold millions and billions. While combat transports are limited colony ships are not. The more i think about it the entire idea of colony ship limits might be something to look at. troop transports can carry 1 bil; combat trans 2 bil; but a colony ship can fit an outrageous number of colonists. I find it hard to buy that you can build ship cheap (colony ships

How about implementing it as tech called say "Combined Arms doctrine" (maybe several levels of that which would allow ships attacking or defending, while in a stack (as well as in orbit), a combat bonusfor each ship. The cost would be entire stack must have >2 MP available for all ships, which would be use dup (1 for the attack =1 combined arms). defenders would get a combined arms bonus automatically -- if they have teh appropriate techs (this would make it be a bit better to defend planets too

I have actually impl. a few of these into a copy of the files. Specifically I havent worried about thr typos but i did change "colony/combat Transport" to Colony /Combat Fleet" (just try to imagine 2 billion guys stuck in one ship..:P) Picturing an armada (as in the cutscenes) is better. heh the more i look at these files the more customization potential i see.. dawg dawg

nitpick 17.6.17.1-3 Why is it that (especially inenterprise and TN) that one can communicate directly with starfleet in real time but they can never talk to ship 2-3 parsecs away Why does no-one ever have to take bodily function break? (Whoo had chili last nite Spock??) on star trek V (yeah it was a crappy film) why is the rear shuttle bay / shuttle pod look so small (it occupies half the back end of the ship in the external shot) Why does Spock have gre

GC nit pick. Technically Ceti Alpha V appears to be a bit better than modern Mars as stated in the manual(I did not see khan and Co. using respirators..so it must still have had breathable atmosphere). dawg PS I also like the starwars references abou the droids in the diplo screen info.

My suggestions: (no i did not read 3 billion last posts) 1) Either pop-up when your cash goes negative or a "no deficit" button (auto adjust spending). It too easy to get absorbed in the game and find "whoa" how did i go from 1300 to a deficit of -600. 2) Add my voice to the encyclopedia/hyperlink fo trade techs on diplo request 3) Pop up that tells you when alliances and wars break out between the major powers. Its just too silly checking the treaties stab every turn

I'll second that motion. Rating HOMM IV and MOO3 as having a bettar AI is pur nonsense. I easily beat HOMM IV and MOO 3 was snore fest. However i am still slugging my way trying to beat this game and having fun at it. It may see simple but I like its elegance. Its valid point the even if CGs AI cheated, as Brad noted, it still would make it the norm. Hell even the great Sid Meier's games the AI cheats more shamelessly than most others; and they do not even have the degree of compleity

Ok i am getting PO'd I ordered my copy from EB games last week after hearing EBCanada is not going to get them until 6th-7th. Now all the EB stores have it and my fedexed copy is nowhere to be found. EB really poked the pooch on this one. In the past 6 mo EB has been getting bad; really bad. Has anyone in Can ordered from EBgames have any idea of how long these clowns take; I cant even track teh silly thing because of some 10 billion excuses from fedex AND EB (which change depending on

Given the juvenile response above .. I rest my case. Exactly the very offensive attitude on the part off MOO3ers i noticed. Thanks for giving me proof! calling people kiddies is just as much a wise guy thing to say! On your points 1) ship customization: whoppeee doo. Since PD is broken and AI is worth squat ..who cares what ist equipped with. It doesnt take rocket scientist to build shipt to kill a billion troop transports 2) yes plaentary AI is indeed complex soo complex i

Reply to MOO3 and a comparison in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

My 2 ducats I too tried to like MOO3. I stil hav eit and I am praying for a patch. But I doubt it will be that dramatic. Moo3 really has a dry, dry flavour to it -- very sterile that prevents me from getting into the game. I dont need fancy graphics myself but the MOO3 ship combat takes soo much fun out of design that its useless. Moreover lets try and remeber that ther eis almost no real AI. Altogether it feels too much like spreadsheet, even 10x more than BOTF than a game. I applaud Q

Reply to EB Canada says April 7. WHAT!? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Nope none in Canada that I know of. I went the EB games route myself. :) Given the comments even about limited retail supply in the US, ordering online or direct w/SD is likely better. If the volume per retailer is as low as in the US there may not be many copies out when it does arrive. >:( One thing that does bite apparently FedEx doesnt track foreign bound packages ;p
