Reply to Can surrender behavior be changed during a game? in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

Unfortunately, no. It is embedded in your saved game data from start. You can change - the difficulty (Options, gameplay) - and the victory conditions (ESC, Victory Status, Victory Options), but not - the layout (quantity of resources, frequency of events, pirates, etc) - the conditions (no tech brokering, AI surrenders, ...) - the number of players

Reply to Custom Build in GalCiv III Modding Stardock Forums

In a customized faction, you can only choose the planet system (Alterian, Arb, Iconian, etc...), and not the way the planet are designed (layout, hexagons grouping, bonuses, mines/buildings). It is done randomly by the game. But you can change the leader's logo, foreground and background images, the citizen images, the texts when discussing with this civ, the types of ships, the various colours. But Not the planet. The building are determined by the game, according to the Ben/

Micro-patch 31/07/2020 - solving bugs? in Galactic Civilizations Series Stardock Forums

I have numerous issues with my games since patch 4.xx was released... And I am rather surprised, as, after 1196 hours in the game (a wonderful journey, by the way...), I can't remember having experienced so many truly game breaking problems. - CTDs when reloading a saved game (from same game version of course) - CTDs when scrolling the map East/West, or North/South - CTDs when creating a commonwealth (especially if planet given by a friendly - but just destroye

I had also this error, but it was not only with the research screen but also diplomacy, or Espionage... Ad yes, RAM was too short, even with 16GB. It was rather obvious when doing "Ctrl+Alt+Del" and running Task manager : CPU + RAM almost full during some operations... There is a VERY interesting blog from Frogboy (Brad Wardell), and it shows very well that you very quickly explode your system with the requirements, if you are too glutton with the map size... <

I cannot compete with all of you. I have something very basic and not very beautiful in front of me. I can not afford much. However, there are not only screens and multiple electronic devices. A quality desktop setup can also take into account what you see around you when you face your electronic wall, and it adds to a relaxed and pleasant environment. Here is what I saw 2 days ago from my computer chair, just looking on my left while playing GC3... <img src="h

Still far far away and I can not play GC3 (where I live/work, access to Steam and game ports are blocked). I wait then for coming back in my homeland in a couple of months for trying the game. And I know that my 1 st goal shall be to find "MY" star !... (the one all founders created a while ago). I see that there is a new DLC.

[quote who="matrix_v" reply="20" id="3609262"] Wow. Only a company like Stardock supports a 10 year old game! A big thank you to Stardock as well as the modders that made this happen. [/quote] I know that Paradox (hearts of Iron, Europa Universalis, etc) has the same spirit... To be honest, I also don't know if there are more like them on this planet... at least, with a rather large fan base. So few that it is good to pinpoint them, and give them a thumb up.

[quote who="RSDJR" reply="7" id="3406293"] ... I was also wondering how likely it will be that I'll actually get to see my star (name still TBD) in a game. I guess that depends on how many founder-named stars are allowed in each size galaxy and how many elite founders there end up being. Seems like I might have to play a lot of games to find my star. Even then I supposed it might not have a habitable planet for me to fight over. That all may be for the best though because I&#39

Reply to And you decide to hire the guy that ruined the 20-year old Civilization franchise??? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

You do not recall the generals that won battles for Julius Caesar. You recall Julius Caesar. I am bitterly disappointed by Civilization 5, and the obvious and official name associated to it is: Jon Shafer. It is then perfectly logical that some like me are very unsure about Mr Shafer being hired as an asset for Stardock. The problem is that bad feelings from a game are difficult to reverse. Feelings are not logical, they are feelings. It is often an epidermic issue. Games

WhiteElk , you have a point. 1 person for collecting / summarizing ideas, and informal posts from any others... Talking about tec trees... Whatever is the choice (3 or 5 or any number of trees), I would not like to see it like Civ 5 : a mandatory path, and you can easily do it all. What I like in FFH mod for Civ 4, and in GalCiv2, was that the tec trees could not be really fully discovered: you had to choose a path, a style. Larger is t

Reply to Elemental: Is it worth it? in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

If you like Civilization, so then you should know that Kael, the creator of the most successful mod for civ (Fall From Heaven) has just been hired by Stardock as project manager on Elemental. Many FFH players expect a lot from Kael... It is also expected that the next patch (1.1) will address many known problems, including the AI. Actually, it seems that the real game will start at version 1.1 as it should be more than a simple patch, but a revision of some mecanics.
