I must be dense. I didn't notice any issues in the Star Trek posts to indicate any reason for him to leave. Except that he was doing the developer's' job to add  content.

In any event, its a great loss to Gal Civ. The developers should reward him for doing such good work. If he created his own game, I would join in on a Kickstarter project.

Any of his mods still over at nexus?

Hate to see him go, he was a big part of GalCiv III. You'll be missed  

I'm a little confused.  He quit because we're updating the forum display?

Clash of personalities, dislike of wording/attitude of posts by a dev (Intentional or not). Call it what you will tbh. I just had enough and decided to remove myself from said anoyance.

I'll continue my mod projects else where, even if its only me that uses them.

It was not my intent to annoy.  Most of my posts are written on an iPhone so there is little nuance when responding to a question.

I don't watch this forum much lately - while I appreciate all the intent of how Brad apparently wanted to make Crusade "better" than GC3 was at start, the Crusade release was a haphazard implementation lacking some of the "polish" of a completed update with all of the balance issues and game changes fully implemented.  Also it appears Horemvore might been upset with the all the ongoing changes and the difficulty it caused MOD development.   In general I have to praise him for persevering though all the changes in the last six months and keep updating his Galactic Star Trek mod and the tons of other Mods he has been working on to make the game better.

For the moment I am back to playing Divinity the Original Sin 2 because I don't want to sit at my computer and spend another couple weeks tweaking the XML files to the way I want.  Certainly 2.61 (and a promise of 2.70) has advanced Crusade Expansion considerably since its released but there are some design changes I would rather change even with the 2.61 update; however, in general I was surprised that most of the initial bugs have been worked out.  There are ongoing issues in addressing some game features.

I hope Horemvore continues his MOD efforts and certainly there is room for an independent place to discuss GC3 and release MODS.  Currently Steam support is very limited. 

It will be interesting to see what the new Expansion brings I will probably buy it sight unseen to encourage further game development.  I would say the biggest disappointment with Crusade was maybe releasing it too soon (yes Game companies do need to release to get paid) and not completely explaining the intent of all the changes that Crusade expansion was intended to achieve.  The initial game previews and Developer posts were helpful but when you try to completely redo how the game is played it requires greater effort to educate the current and future players.  This is probably why Crusade got hammered on Steam reviews (people hate change and the initially incompletely game redesign didn't help).  This is a case where more patience might been better for everyone (not that I was one of those anxious to see the new expansion - just maybe some of the intended changes should been implemented after the initial release).

Having a game engine that can fully use multiple CPU cores is game changing for a 4X Strategy game as it lets those that have the latest computer hardware deal with the late game slow down that plagues other games like Stellaris.   Whatever the future is for GC3 or GC4 hopefully we can all move forward despite our differences and see what the future holds.

With the latest update, Star Trek Crusades stopped working. Now what?

What kind of errors are you getting?  One big change that was made was that the base game mod folder Is now scanned for mods as well as the Crusade mod folder.  This caused me problems trying to play Crusade until I emptied out my My Games\GalCiv3\Mods folder.

After the latest update, Horemvore's Star Trek mod isn't working again. Plus, the link to his new mod location doesn't work. Any ideas?

You can find all my Star Trek Civs, factions and ships all over Workshop. I created many of the race ships Horemvore used in is ST conversion mod. 

Horemvore, I am sad to see you go but I do understand. Please keep Modding on!

Hey there. I totally respect where you are coming from and the frustrations you are feeling. We all hope you decide to continue your good work.

Just consider this... if you change EVERYTHING like I'm doing... then you make your own descriptions and don't have to worry about updating the dev's lol.

Regardless, nice to hear from you!
