Reply to Star Sectors and multiple galaxies in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Extragalactic conquest would be fun and hopefully doable with Star Sectors (at least within a local group of galaxies), but integrating a new tech tree to upgrade from Kardashev Two to Kardashev Three (or higher) might end up being almost an entirely new game. It could be worked as a spin-off perhaps for Galactic Civilizations IV, similar to how Sid Meier integrated Civilization Beyond Earth and Starships. You can take a civilization from one game (planetary conquest in Beyond Ear

Star Sectors and multiple galaxies in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

One of my biggest complaints about Stellaris is the lack of a continuous zoom from the galactic level to the solar-system level. I would hope though that the Star Sectors feature on Galactic Civilizations IV will not make the user interface more Stellaris-like? It's a real pain on Stellaris to only be able to interact with one solar system at a time. https://www.galciv4.com/gameplay/ What would be very cool though is

Reply to game versions versus universe chronology in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I've been deliberately limiting my gameplay so I don't hit the 2-hour limit on the Steam return policy. I spent most of the 2 hours on the tutorial, and then tried making a new game but felt overwhelmed with not understanding the details of the backstory so I posted here to see if maybe I also needed to get Galactic Civilizations I and II and/or Star Control: Origins while they were still on sale. I would only want them though if they are happening in the same universe as Galactic

game versions versus universe chronology in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I am completely new to the Galactic Civilizations franchise. I just got Galactic Civilizations III Gold but I find a lot of stuff to be really confusing. Is there an in-universe chronological development between Galactic Civilizations I, II, and III (like with The Sims, Mass Effect, or Age of Empires)? I am wondering if maybe my confusion is because I am completely new to the franchise and have not played the previous games. Or can I really get the full experience with

Reply to custom star names in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Also, instead of replacing each of the 3789 default star names with my own custom star names, what would happen if I only replace say 100 of the default star names with new custom star names and then delete the remaining 3689 star names? If a map is generated with more than 100 stars in that case, would some of the stars have duplicate names, or does Galactic Civilizations III have a system in place to prevent that (e.g. suffixing a number or letter to duplicated names)? What is t

Reply to custom star names in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

D'oh. You have to click "enable mods" in the options. It works! :-) But where did the star names like "Assembly" come from if they are not listed in ? If I only wanted to use real star names, would stars like "Assembly" still show up on some maps?

custom star names in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

How do I customize star names in Galactic Civilizations III? Ideally, I would like to use real star names if possible. I tried altering C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\data\English\Text\StarNamesText.xml but that did not seem to work, even when I copied the altered file to C:\Users\Nicole\Documents\My Games\GC3Crusade\Mods\English\Text\StarNamesText.xml For testing, I just did a simple find-and-replace on KAT
