Reply to Ashes of the Singularity: March 2019 Update in Escalation Dev Journals AshesoftheSingularity Forums

What happened to the sequel info promised in the last post? [quote quoting="post"] Ashes sequels So the short version is that we aren't going to be making new expansions for Ashes of the Singularity I. There might be more DLC but the changes we want to make are a little too radical to have as an expansion. My next post will be talking about what we have in mind for the sequel so you guys can opine on it. But if you

Reply to Ashes: MAY 2016 Dev Update in Escalation Dev Journals AshesoftheSingularity Forums

One quality of life item I want to see added asap is better hotkey support. For example, there should be a hotkey for enabling/disabling repeat on factories. Also, the ability to remap hotkeys would be very welcomed. I think QoL items like these can go a long way toward enhancing the user experience and improving the perceived quality of the game.

Reply to Camera Locations? in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I want to see this added as well because it is more efficient than scrolling with mouse, clicking mini-map, or clicking the strategic map. In my opinion, saving/recalling camera locations is a standard feature for any modern RTS.

Reply to Idle Factory Not Implemented? in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

[quote who="Moomo" reply="1" id="3626970"] It is still there, but it has been changed how it works. If you put your factories into control group(s) (Ctrl + [Number]) then they are picked up by the idle factories check, and the F2 key works. I would prefer to not have to put them into control groups to enable the idle factory shortcut, but there are some benefits to the way it works now that I do not use. [/quote] Thanks for the cla

Idle Factory Not Implemented? in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

The hotkey to select idle factories is F2 but this doesn't seem to do anything. I found a previous thread from Nov last year where it was noted that this had not been implemented at that time. Is this still the case? Or is this a bug or am I just misunderstanding how this works?

[quote who="Raevn" reply="34" id="3533799"] Having icons (but further out than those of sup com), but not able to issue orders to them, would actually be a better way IMO of preventing the game being played from a high zoom, without the same feeling of a missing feature or providing some players with an advantage due to their hardware. [/quote] I really like this idea. It would be interesting to read Frogboy's response to this.

[quote who="Aulex" reply="23" id="3533708"] IMO the lack of not being able to fully zoom out and see the entire map and not having strategic icons will be an artificial cap for making good decisions. If you want people to make good decisions you want to give them as much info as possible, by allowing players to see the entire map they're given all of that, but without icons it will be extremely difficult to distinguish any units. Artificial skill caps or restrictions usually aren&#39

As I mentioned in the previous post, Founders are allowed to discuss the news and info they receive with non-Founders. They just cannot share the actual art, video files, or any other docs with anyone. The news and information is the most valuable content. Thus no one is being denied justice or being discriminated.

Reply to Steam or No Steam? in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Could there be a clause in the Steam EULA which explains that if Steam were to shut down the all licenses for games in your library would be transferred to you? Also, worst case scenario that Steam shuts down and they don't transfer any licenses. Do you think it would be feasible for individual publishers to implement an emergency system that would validate a prior purchase you made via Steam and thereby allow you to obtain a new license directly from the publisher

When I encountered the issue it didn't even give me an authentication prompt to access the Vault. As soon as I clicked the Vault icon it informed me that authentication failed. After logging out of the forums I clicked on the Vault icon again and then received an authentication prompt which allowed me to log in successfully. Also, the concept art is cool but I agree that it is inadequate! It would be awesome to see gameplay info before it is shared publicly.

Auto focus bug in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I stopped playing Galciv2 for a few months and recently got back into it. I'm on 1.7 beta 3, and I am having a big issue with the UI. The options "Enable auto focus to move camera to selected ships" and "Move camera to selected colonies in colony list" do not function as far as I can tell. The camera auto focuses regardless of what I set either of these two options to. I want to set the camera to NOT center on ships when I click on them. Can you please fix this for the final build of 1.7?

Advice for Game Settings in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Greetings everyone, Now that I have the full version of DA installed, I'm ready to begin a new game. But as usual, I am still torn between the settings that I should use for game set up. I can't decide if I should play on a Medium or Large galaxy (and the ideal number of opponents for each size), I'm unsure about the Research Speed that I should set, I don't know if I should disable Tech Trading all together, and I am undecided about how many Anomolies I want there to be.
