Persistant Issues still not addressed in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Theres been a few things that have ground my gears throughout the beta of this game that are most likely going to be addressed, but I wish they would fix them sooner rather than later.. 1) Production/Research not updating as %s change. -If I adjust the research rate of a planet, the displayed # of turns needed to finish my current research doesn't actually change until I end my turn. -If I adjust the manufacturing rate of my planets, the

Reply to Make Planets More Useful in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Empress_Fujiko" reply="3" id="3517039"] I disagree that inhabitable planets don't contribute to the game. I think they indeed serve important functions in terms of making the game fun: 1. They make the solar systems more realistic. 2. They make the process of discovery more fun - the moment the fog is cleared by your scout to reveal a planet is like opening a lottery ticket. You rejoice if you find a good planet and you are disappointed if it is a de

Reply to Make Planets More Useful in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

One idea would be to add a Racial Trait, call it something like "Industry Development". Each colony contributes a certain number of Industry points per turn (based on population and racial Industry Development). Players then select an uncolonizable planet (or Asteroid Belt) in the same system as a colonized world. Once enough Industry points have been acrued, you can then choose a facility to construct at said Planet/AB. These facilities can give bonuses to system Prod

Make Planets More Useful in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

At the moment, any planet that is uncolonizable is just dead space weight. They provide nothing to your empire, and nothing to the overall picture of the game. However, any true spacefaring civilization would have a lot of industry centered on these planets in order to harvest the resources, as well as the possibility of terraforming these planets into habitable areas. This is one area that I feel GC3 is very deficient on, and could be improved greatly. To make a qui

Differing Economies in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

So one of the coolest aspects to Gal Civ 2 I thought was the ability to run different types of economies. In fact, if I remember correctly, you HAD to specialize your economy at the highest levels or your empire would fail. So you could focus greatly on income, and purchase just about everything you needed, or you could actually load up on research facilities, but then through focus etc, could power your production with your research buildings.

Having trouble getting this to work.. how do you go about building an all fac civ in ToA, what is the best tech tree to use for this?

Reply to A.I. better in the expansions than in the original GalCiv 2 ? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Im running the latest version of ToA, and there are a Lot of "improvements" made to the AI and the game in general. The biggest difference between DL and DA and ToA is the introduction of unique race tech trees in ToA. They are a lot of fun, and allow you to play a lot of different ways and introduce a lot of variety to the game. HOWEVER, the AI still does NOT A) Build planets correctly or effeciently; and B) Protect transports and make coordinated, well e

Reply to Starbase Fleets? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Hmm I seem to recall the original DL game to allow this, it seems like a feature that should definately be looked into. If my ships are sitting on top of a starbase that has battle stations, the starbase's attack/defense should be added to the fleet if the fleet has logistical space for it.

Reply to AAR- Why I Love This Game in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Apparently in a fit of intergalactic madness, the Torians have decided to declare war on my friends the Arceans, who immediately called me asking for assistence. Now, this was not a standard war declaration, it was a scripted event which if youve played this game before you've seen many times. All kinds of things can happen from a sudden increase in all civs birthrate or influence, to small things like discovering newly inhabitable planets on the map. I ha

Ok so I have a Diplomatic Vic all lined up.
