Reply to Several Crusade Questions in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

#4 I like the changes, though I think 8%/ 15% a sweeter spot than 5%/10% for 1st/ 2nd tier, and, yes, you can mod them. #5 Haven't played them yet, but do the slaver's not have a Garrison improvement that takes the place of the starport? #9 Good find. #10 Really?

[quote who="lyssailcor" reply="24" id="3674634"] I read that in Crusade every single weapon on a ship is fired separately. What about star bases? Since they are now also designable, that should apply to starbase weapons as well, shouldn't it? [/quote] Read where? As nice as this would be, I won't believe it until I've read or heard something official.

[quote who="rynebrandon" reply="4" id="3674493"] In general, missiles are effective from long range but often miss, kinetic weapons are only effective from very short range and almost never miss and energy weapons have a medium range and miss less often than missiles.

[quote] It was not a friendly game by today's standards (45% score on Steam). One of these days, I'd like to go back and update this just to make it work on modern computers. I only recommend this for nostalgia folks now [/quote] Screw Steam users' opinion pole. I have hundreds of hours in this game, still play it occasionally, and I like it better than GalCivII. It's simplicity is beautiful. If you do update it: Will you add the original

Reply to Snathi and Arceans in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Snathi are a minor race in the base game. The Revenge of the Snathi are a major race available through DLC (includes some kind of campaign for them). The Arceans (and the Torians) are only available if you have the Mercenaries Expansion. Sadly, you cannot disable Mercenaries without disabling these races as well.

Reply to External GalCiv3 game mod utility in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

I know nothing of modding tools or what you,re up to. GalCiv3 is certainly not "long in the tooth". It's just about to hit puberty with second expansion. Stardock's stated intention is to support and expand this product for several more years. Expect a seven year cycle, from release providing it maintains sales. Don't expect a IV before 2020. Too much unrealized potential in the 64bit engine now.

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="18" id="3673216"] I have to disagree a lot of things is suggested were implemented over time. It's not implemented right away it's done over time. [/quote] Ahem.... Disable mercenaries without disabling Torians and Arceans as major races. Ahem.

Reply to [Discussion] Response to Brads request in the last Crusade stream, asking about invasion balance and suggestions. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Umm... There are no militias. It was just an idea. Some of the posts on this tread just read to me as if militia were already a part of the game and someone needs to decide what to do with them. I like the idea. If it's simple. If the AI can use it. If it makes GalCiv3 a better game. I like any idea that can do those. Some of the above posts are... extensive. Not so simple. I'd like what Stardock has expr

Reply to GalCiv III: Crusade Dev Stream - Wednesday (3/29) at 2pm ET in GalCiv III Events GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="lyssailcor" reply="19" id="3672209"] If the invasion math stays like it is now then approval already affects invasion chances because low approval reduces resistance. [/quote] I don't follow. Resistance effects how well population fights when invaded. In the new invasion scheme, population doesn't fight at all. So resistance will either have to further buff soldiering for defense or be removed as a stat modifier entirely. This ha

Reply to Questions for GalCiv 3: Crusade Streams in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm a bit disappointed that this question thread didn't get any love in yesterday's stream. Twelve minutes into the 3/29 stream Brad mentioned that soon after Crusade is released you're looking at more support for modding (paraphrased). What does more support entail? Do you mean just race creation and ship designer stuff? Or is there some impetus towards fulfilling some of the requests in the Modding Wishlist thread here: <a href="htt

Reply to Questions for GalCiv 3: Crusade Streams in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I finally got to watch the Crusade preview stream last Friday night. One of my questions was answered: Administrators are non-recoverable when lost. So burning an administrator to build a constructor that's used to make a shipyard means we trade an administrator for that easier-to-get shipyard? Not a good trade, maybe, but games are about choices. This raises another concern, though. Will b-lining to weapons techs allow me to build an early attack ship I

Was there a Crusade preview stream today? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yeah. Not sorry I missed it. I was 10 feet down a chimney wielding a rotary demolition hammer to earn a living when the stream was supposed to air. I get home and fire up the computer (after 2 beers and supper) to watch the stream and the link on the Twitch/ Stardock page to most recent broadcast takes me to 1 minute 5 second broadcast that strongly suggested some technical difficulties going on. It's followed by a 15 second broadcast of more of the same.</
