My activity on GalCiv3 has been very low due to the lack of controls to manipulate tax rate -- and the resultant approval rate. It looks like Intrigue will solve this issue. Two questions: 1) Will there be a beta? 2) Since I have an early access release ($100 on the EA of the initial release of GC3), is there any benefit to pre-ordering?

It takes an administrator to build a constructor, colony ship, or surveyor ship. Administrators are assigned when construction of a ship begins. If the construction of a ship is canceled the administrator is returned to the administrator pool. When a constructor is used to build a starbase, the constructor's administrator is transferred to the starbase. When a colony ship is used to build a colony the ship's administrator is transferred to the colony. When any of these ships is destroyed by a

OK. This has gotten quite frustrating. I am reaching for the button to close a sub-screen and I unconsciously reach for and click on the big red "X" at the top right of the main screen. AAARRRGGG. I didn't really want to exit the game!!!! Especially without saving!! And, why, oh why, do I keep on doing that??? I do believe GC1 and GC2 intercepted this process and asked if I really wanted to quit. And I have seen many other games that had the same protection. This really needs to be an

[quote who="GrimmAG" reply="9" id="3688484"] I wonder if the discrepancy is with "base mass" vs "ship-size adjusted mass"? That would make sense, if weapons show the same on both screens, but support modules show different. [/quote] Grimm, have a look at the links in reply # 7 to get a complete picture of what is displayed and where the differences are. While what you say makes sense I doubt it matches what the snapshots captured, or in the

I just discovered something about performance: I had noticed that when I booted my computer it was taking gradually longer and longer to complete the boot-up. Same for shut-down. Then I updated my graphics driver (Geforce GT 640) and suddenly my computer booted and shut down fast again. Hope this helps someone.

[quote who="BIF" reply="12" id="3683884"] But yeah....no...you can't do that to people. It would change the human body's angle in the water, which would further disadvantage the best athletes, and on top of that, it would likely cause injuries due to the changed mechanics for arms, shoulders, and elbows.

Perhaps I should simplify my request like this: Please give us the ability to change which mouse button is assigned to each of the functions currently assigned to mouse buttons to other mouse buttons. I have also changed the subject title to make this clearer. It is not to find a specific pre-assigned tile, nor to display the map with that tile centered. It is a function that already works with the LMB (left mouse button),. When you click the LMB on any spot on the main map, the main

Does anyone know where this is? I tried "Options" -> "Input" which is where the optional key assignments are, but I am unable to find an action that looks right. Currently clicking the left mouse button over a spot on the map allows me to center the main map on that spot, and click and hold of the left mouse button allows me to drag the main map within the window. Other games, some too old to expect any chance of their being changed, use the middle mouse button for this function and I have

[quote who="Franco fx" reply="8" id="3681118"] http://www.play-old-pc-games.com/2013/12/09/civilization-2/ This might help. I didn't get a good look because they didn't like my ad blocker.

Of course, CIV made a few mistakes in its series -- the worst one was when Sid decided no-one was interested in large maps when he created CIV3. I still like CIV2 the best, but since it is unplayable on current levels of Window I occasionally play my second favorite level, CIV5. I have tried CIV6 and find it my least favorite. I even prefer (and play in a DOSBOX) the original CIV (available from Steam) to CIV3 and CIV6. Now, if I could just get a playable remake of CIV2 on Steam.

There are still many sorts needed for lists. One (of many) that is particularly needed is the sorting of the lists in a ship's goto lists and the addition of uncolonized planets to the goto list with sorts for planet quality and distance from the selected ship. Currently the attempt to decide which planet (in the larger galaxy sizes) to send a colony ship is clumsy, error prone, and time consuming.

Thanks, Kryo. BTW, this is the second time I have tried to open a ticket and gotten rejected. Is there something wrong with the site? Or has the reporting method changed from what is at https://esupport.stardock.com/index.php?/default_import/Knowledgebase/Article/View/496/161/general-galactic-civilizations-iii-troubleshooting</
