Stardock will be on holiday for a few days, but Paul and Kristin will be coming in and doing a stream of Galactic Civilizations III. I will try to grab any questions you have to be answered, but if you are able to attend the stream please be sure to ask them there.

Come on over to our Stardock Twitch channel and join us for our live broadcast today at 3pm EST!

After the live broadcast today, we’ll post the replay on our YouTube channel so you can catch up on the latest episodes.

Update: Replay is on YouTube.

Can we please have more in depth updates on the progression of the AI? A lot of us know where it plans to end up, but where do we stand currently?

Is there any additional love planned for multiplayer before release such as a better lobby system or ability to chat in the diplomacy window?

What features remain to be implemented in the final days?

Reply #4 Top

Steam integration for mods etc.

Rest is polish, bug fix, polish.

Hello Stardock, :grin:  I'm happy with the update but I have three questions concerning the newest update on created/custom race/faction content:


1. Currently with custom races we can't select an an option to use an imported custom portrait of our alien leader or a custom emblem from our computer. Will this be implemented in the future as something that is not required as modding? As I would very much like multiplayer players to be able to see the portrait of an alien leader I designed or hand picked from the internet myself. Example: Darth Vader, Captain Picard, Marvin the Martian, ect...


2. Also unlike in Galciv 2 we still can't select a prebuilt list of ship designs we designed ourselves for our custom faction instead of choosing from the prebuild base faction styles. Will this be implemented for release?

 

3. In Galciv 2, we were able to hand pick the color of our ships, primary metal, secondary metal, windows and engine exaust for our custom factions instead of having to select a premade set of colors for custom races. Will this feature be implemented for release?

Can you talk a little bit about the new implementation of resources and the so called "prototype tech" that you're going to be able to fit to your ships?

Can we get cameralock as an ingame option on the map without having to access the debug console to activate it.

With that said can we get a starfield on the topside of the elliptical so when we rotate under things its not just blackness above?

Yes please..

 

What is the 'Proto-type' tech we are seeing in the next patch?

 

Can we get a 'Regenerate Map'' button on the Home Screen AFTER we start a game?  

 

Sometimes I dislike where I start or my homeworld layout but dont want to go over all settings.

Hello,

 

Could you give us some insights to the changes to influence and planet flipping that you guys are considering? Seems way to strong currently.

 

Thanks!

In custom civ generation, could we set exact values like +5% +10% +20% with a slider instead of just preset -1 -2 +1 +2 at all traits? Thank you!

I have to say I've been watching the streams every week since Autumn and the progress that's been made it that time to the visual aspects is fantastic, those early game play streams look very much like your playing a different game entirely and while I know there's a lot that needs to be done still its been very interesting watching this game really come to life!

 

Big thumbs Up from me! Thanks

Sorry about the delay. :)

Watched it, loved it.  I apologize to Kristin as I have no audio, as I normally watch it at work on Friday's and can't have the audio up, so I couldn't answer her question to me.  Paul did answer the question though as I was referring to the Steam Workshop, sharing races/ships/logos/portraits ect. between players.

Thanks again for all your hard work :)
