I know about customizing a race now... I like to create 30 to 40 different races to be able to spread things out more. For GC III I have about 80 created races and was fun to have all different races. I get tired of seeing the same ones over and over again.

If you create a military starbase and use a soldier citizen does that citizen give a bonus? If you build a culture starbase how about an entertainer citizen to give a bonus? If not, I do think that using the "correct" citizen for a starbase should give a bonus for said starbase.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="1" id="3710740"] Did you see a new splash screen on startup? When you settled your first colony did it prompt you to choose a government? If not it's not installed correctly. Try doing a "verify files" in Steam. [/quote] I got the new splash screen... I believe. Steam shows it is installed but no, I did not get prompted for a government when I settled my first colony. Right now I have about 12 and I do not see the tax sl

I prefer the turn based game system. I can easily multitask with it. I take my laptop to the workshop, piddle in there and play turns, go away for a bit, come back and play a turn or two. The turn based game lets me play more by being able to play turns at my leisure as opposed to having to keep checking on the game status in real time. And yes, I am having as much fun as you!

I had that problem a few builds ago. First try validating the files from the main menu settings. I had a ticket for it and the fix that Stardock gave me was simple and worked but for the life of me I can't remember what I had to do. Easiest way is contact Stardock. They were very quick in replying and coming up with a solution for me. I know one thing that will cause that is if you have custom Civ's that have ships set to them and you del

[quote who="Ermac2" reply="25" id="3689628"] When I try to edit full XML from the Civ. builder, it opens the XML file in IE, which will not allow me to edit anything! How do I change this? [/quote] Right click on the file and go to the "open with" function and use the program you want to.

[quote who="mrblondini" reply="5" id="3684115"] What's the point in Minor Civilizations, really, now you have Mercenaries that can actually work for you? Since Galactic Civilizations II, they've only existed so you can get a few bucks out of them and then when you're tired of that, to invade and kill to get their ONE CLASS 16 PLANET because that's all they ever did. Sit in their home world. Okay, in GalCiv 2 you could chat, but what did that actually mean

I deleted a bunch of Steam ship content and now get many pop ups of "Invalid Ship Styles" I can understand for my homebrew civs that now may have an invalid style because of this but I am getting this for Drengin, Torian, Altarian as well??? I have not touched game files. I even uninstalled the game and reinstalled it to no avail. Any help would be good.

I have to say GC III beats out the Civ editions. While I did enjoy the looks of Civ 5, the game play was ok and the AI was terrible. Civ VI bored the crap out of me and the graphics took a large step back. The engine was very slow too, with playing only 6 total players the game after 15 turns slowed to a lagging halt. I am running a i7 7700 quad core with 32g ram and an GTX-1080 vid card with 8g gpu ram.... Yet, GCIII I get blinding turns. Find me another 4x game out

[quote who="leiavoia" reply="1" id="3680964"] The sticker price of games has stayed the same or even gone down over the last 30 years. I remember paying $35 for the Legend of Zelda in 1986. That fact tells me that the current crop of game purchasers include a lot of spoiled brats with entitlement issues. I would prefer to pay more for a solid, bug-free game, but i understand i'm in the minority and that its a tough market to swim through. [/quote] &nbsp

I am currently on turn 126, gigantic map with 62 civs. Turn length is barely a two seconds. I have a laptop with 32g ram, GTX 1080 vid card and quad core i7 @ 3.2ghz. So far so good.... I am running at 1080p as well. I guess I will find out shortly if the slowdown happens....
