I actually very rarely use Steam anymore ... I have so many awesome games on Epic that it is my launcher of choice now! And super stoked that Galciv4 is on it! Those people moaning and groaning about not wanting to use multiple launchers should just use GoG Galaxy ... it combines all of your launchers into 1 place ... I actually agree with the "grow up" comment earlier ... sick of hearing the whining and moaning ... don't buy the game if you don't think it's worth it.&nb

Looks like a font bug early in the game? In the Situation Report message "donat = don't"
I know it's a lot to ask, but some other games seem to do this reasonably well. One of the issues I had with Galciv3 was the fact that every single game, it doesn't matter what race you choose, the music / interface etc were the same ... so it was very easy to forget that you were supposed to be a religious Zealot (Krynn) or evilly cunning (Drengin). Having a different musical score for each race would add to the immersiveness, also minor tweaks to the interface /
Yeah I like meeting aliens a little later also ... adds to the "mystery" and "awe" of meeting a new race for the first time. Feedback: some of the survey relics in GC4 introduce new species i.e. Yor colinists even before you have met the first race ... there probably should either be certain timings for relics like this, or perhaps there could be a bigger story wrapped around who these Yor colonists are and how your race responds to them.
aw man you got me digging out my old Galciv2 Ultimate CD off the shelf and installing it! Trying to find the patches now ... not easy to find? :(
"D.L Bradley got Rhinoplasty" Lol !
Gone are the days of "standalone" games that are launched without loaders ... it has been over 10 years since I purchased my last cd/dvd game and even then I didn't need a cd/dvd drive as they gave me a steam key to download the game! :P If you use a web browser such as IE, Chrome, Edge (how do you visit this forum?) they are also collecting all specs of your machine. I'm sure your "privacy" concerns are valid but i'm sure most people have better things to do than to ana
Well, I'm a customer ... even more so when I see great games like Galciv4 being released on the platform! Sure, my Steam library is a lot bigger and I like that platform ... but I welcome competition and want to support game developers to keep more of their hard earnt $ (even though i'm a bit of a scrooge myself).
Epic is actually a decent platform and is improving all the time ... its really sad that people seem to have such misplaced hatred for it [e digicons]:puke:[/e]
Nice work team! That compass looked flash but I just didn't "get it" ... the spectrums definitely make more sense... I guess you'll need to decide where each race fits on each spectrum :)
Will we be seeing the Star Control races back in Galciv4? :)
Make sure you get every line of text proof-read ... Galciv3 was a brilliant game but had an embarrassingly high number of typos, spelling, and grammatical errors :) Underlined "too" below ... should be "to".

Loved SC3 (much to the horror of the SC1 and 2 purists). It was my first foray into the Star Control series and I loved the way the story developed, the amount of full voice content / alien species, the super melee, the plot that made you think of questions like "where do the Arilou + Orz come from? Even though the game didn't have input from the original creators I thought the storyline was a very clever take on the events after SC2 ended with the destruction of the Ur Quan S

Such amazing news ... perhaps this time I can convince my wife to let me have Founders Edition!
Thanks for all your efforts ... Galciv3 has definitely evolved into an almost perfect turn based strategy game ... currently my most played game on Steam (perhaps only Starcraft 2 was played more due to me playing competitively for many years)

I totally agree ... watching from New Zealand and holding my head in my hands in disbelief. There should never be doubt whether a vote is legitimate ... if there is doubt then the vote should be thrown out.
Galciv3 ... one of my favourite games of all time (definitely my favourite 4x) :) Disclaimer: Only with ALL of the DLC
Hahaha unlucky [e digicons]:D[/e]
haha yeah I love a good story too ... got hooked on Galciv because of the lore ... glad I completed the campaign and now into random maps though ... each map is it's own story :D
I had some weird issues when I played through the campaign also ... just make sure you save before you complete the last objective on each mission (it should auto-save every 5 turns anyway) ... I don't think the devs really care much about the campaign :P
The last campaign-related DLC is "Revenge of the Snathi" I believe. Galciv3 doesn't really focus on campaign and the developers didn't put too much focus and attention on it ... the game is designed for a random-map experience every time you play :)
Crusade / Retribution are the best DLC .... but I'd recommend ALL of them ... they make the game awesome :)
