Reply to science world specialization in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yes... filling a planet is more efficient than upgrading existing structures. No... output per maintenance is not the best gauge of efficiency. Bcs are easy to find, output per tile is more important as space is far more limited than money. If you need to save bcs watch your ship components, such as 3rd or higher tier life support modules, as you can loose a lot of economic efficiency quickly there. Also... scrapping an improvement and adding a farm once your

Reply to [Modding] What exactly are Scope and TargetTypes? [Beta 5 Patch 3] in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Ashot in the dark, but is there any way to make these ship-based buffs trigger only when the ship is orbiting a planet and target only the planet orbited? I like this idea much better than the proposed "ships as mobile economic starbases".

Reply to Scout Ships... in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I agree with the op in that it is counterintuitive for the tiny searcher ship to be slower than the medium-hulled surveyor and the cargo hulled colony ship. It feels wrong. Not arguing realism. Fully understand that larger ships would have vastly more speed in space than smaller ones from any conventional physics standpoint. Too much realism can quickly kill a good game, too little kills immersion. In my opinion Gal Civ 3 has erred on the side of too lit

I thought 1.6 was to clear up UI issues brought up in https://forums.galciv3.com/474070/page/1/#replies such as sorting of build and fleet lists, reducing the # of extra clicks, etc. The roadmap was changed after the discussions in that thread.

Reply to How does population affect my planets? Influence? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Dedicate tiles to as much pop as you can keep happy. Population is the prime determinate for Raw Production. It weighs across the board whereas bonuses to man/ res/ wea only effect the portion of Raw Production assigned to them. Influence works better scattered, though focusing on a planet near where you're trying to culture flip a rival certainly helps.

The Dregin ship in the screenshot is a Torturer-L. The "-L" in the name is the designation the core designs use for variants with augments. There is no question that the Dregin ships you faced had some form of kinetic augments.
