MoO3 already did the z-axis thing and it wasn't fun.

Reply to My GC4 Wishlist in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I would like to argue against "way more planets". In a smaller game, every colony matters and every ship matters and every tech matters. These are "interesting choices". I find that after a certain point (a dozen or so planets), i just don't care about them anymore. It doesn't matter if i have 20 or 2000 or 200000000. And if it doesn't matter, why am i still playing? Sadly, "more more more" seems to be the trend in 4X. If the economy and combat systems were intricate

[quote who="DST1348" reply="12" id="3741227"] The first thing that came to my mind was the infamous SimCity example... but I trust that Brad is sincere about this. But this leads to the question how you pay for such a cloud service? Will it be free (like multiplayer, that use the companies servers)? pay per game? pay per 'level' of cloud assistance? monthly subscription? Personally, I don't want to pay any extra for a single player game. [/quote] the develop

It's about making military options meaningful in the first few turns. Maybe i can't colonize Tau Ceti just yet, but i can shoot yo

There are three ways to solve the "mindless colony rush": 1) Make most planets uninhabitable without improved colonization technology. This makes the initial colony rush short and sweet, then empires pivot to researching colonization techs to get otherwise uninhabitable worlds. This can spread the colonization phase well into the late game. It also makes the mid game more interesting because you have to balance continue

"Also the bar is like 85% to 90% in my favor and I still lose my 25 legions against their 7 legions." This can happen if you don't put all of the legions on 1 hex so they attack together. If you spread the legions out, they seem to attack separately for some reason. :/ This is a long standing bug since invasions were first introduced. If you click "auto-resolve", you lose even with overwhelming odds most of the time. If yo

I did not know planets had a 1.0 minimum. what is the max range for a planet to contribute pops to colony ships? thanks for the feedback.

Cannot Eject Colony Ship? (3.1 bug?) in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

i’m playing The Yor on v3.1. I built a colony ship but it cannot launch from the dock. I get an error message like “unreserved population is less than the minimum to launch colony ship.” However, the minimum is 1 pop and my dock is connected with two planets that have 1.5 and 2.0 units, respectively. I should be able to launch two more colony ships with 1 pop each. What gives? I have a save game if this is a bug.

Reply to Yor population growth in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I just fired up a game of v3.1 as the Yor. I need both durantium and Prometheon just to grow population now? Where am I supposed to get these in a galaxy with poor resources? Basically I can colonize 2 or 3 worlds and then that’s it. I’m stuck. I have no population growth and no means to get any. Am I missing something?

Robots: Please Send Help (v3.02) in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I've played through 3 games as the YOR on the 3.02 build. Long story short: Dependence on Promethion absolutely cripples robots. Please consider making "Build Population" require no special resources. The recent v3.x move to make 1.0 pop units the minimum for colony ships only makes the problem worse. Here's how it usually plays out: I start with 5 pops on my homeworld. I build 2-4 colony ships and try to grab what i can while the gettin's good

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III v3.03 in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Fleet management screen still doesn’t work correctly when fleet contains a commander that increases logistics points. It displays increased logistics but refuses to let you make a fleet past the normal limit. We have to resort to moving the ships around individually on the map in a very specific order to take advantage of the logistics bonus. This has been a bug since 2.0 / Crusade was launched. on that note, it would also be nice if promoted commanders did not lose this bonus.

Thanks, Stardock. I Lost. in GalCiv III AI Talk GalCiv3 Forums

I just lost my second game in a week playing the 3.0.x series. It has been a refreshing difference from previous versions which basically let me win, even on godlike difficulty. This was also my biggest gripe against GalCiv2, where the AI never goes for the kill, but is just there to rough you up. On this most recent game, I seeded the galaxy with a random mix of races with a random mix of AI difficulties including some godlikes. The fun part is trying to guess which empires are the g
