More artwork and videos please in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

I was quite disappointed when I bought the DLC for Mega Events and this seems to be a text only DLC. It took me a while to figure out that the DLC was actually working as the first one I encountered seemed to be a bit of a blink and miss it event in its importance. I delayed buying the DLC as I was annoyed that I would have to buy something that was an integrated part of GalCiv2 but after GalCiv3 felt boring and staid I gave in. For me, a game should be immersive and as much as I hated seeing

Captions/subtitles for the intro and campaign video in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

I am deaf and a keen player of Galactic Civilisations 2 and 3. I am very disappointed that there are still no subtitles or captions for videos within the game as this ruins the immersive experience as I have no idea what is happening. With the last major update, this has still not been done and does seem a wee bit short sighted as not everyone would want to play the game with sound all the time and quite a few people are hard of hearing or deaf. This is not a new issue but one that has been a

I am deaf so even with sound, I am unable to understand what the sound is saying. I was hoping that the game was modifiable enough to insert text in videos but thank you for replying.

Captions? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Is there going to be an option for adding captions in the game? The campaigns are nigh unplayable without this. I don't know what the intro videos say as well so it makes the game very frustrating.

Did we find out if they will put the subtitles option in GalCiv3?

Could you please update on whether you will have subtitles on the videos both pre-game, campaigns and end game victories? I love a good space opera but cannot follow the story at all presently.

Planets that can't be settled in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Playing as Altarians, I have been able to colonise some settle-able planets with my colony ships and then it becomes pot luck whether I can colonise. The colony ships are directed to a planet then close to 1-4 moves to the planet, the ship stops. When selecting again the ship to go to the planet, the ship refuses to recognise that it can move there with no pop-ups saying why. Sometimes the ship can settle another planet but understandably very frustrating at the moment when everything is goin

Reply to 3 questions from Stardock to you in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

1. What specific features of diplomacy do you traditionally like the most? I want you to be as specific as you can be. Which parts of diplomacy from any game do you like the most? What parts do you remember long after playing the most? I like the witty or sarcastic comments. I really dislike being friends with a species for a small while then getting pulled into a war almost straight away. I want to see more options with diplomacy, like teasing the speaker to wind them up and for them

Subtitles/captions in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

After getting the Beta, I was a bit disappointed to see no subtitles on the intro video. Would there be an option for me to set subtitles on the game in the future as it doesn't help me to understand the game...

Subtitles/captions in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm a huge fan of GalCiv2 however one of the main drawbacks for me was the lack of subtitles/captions on the videos especially the introduction. It didn't allow for an immersive experience for me. Can we please have caption support for GalCiv3? Cheers

I would like to see for Gal Civ 3: different space travel techs for species...some might use warp, wormholes (artificial/natural), massive ship transporter stations (like Star Trek but bigger...the species is incredibly advanced) and dimensional space transit. a bit more development with the Thalan story...the future sounds intriguing. localised space problems...star that intermittedly releases deadly radiation, natural supernovas, massive probes/spaceships which cause

TOA - problems in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I have uninstalled and reinstalled TOA as I've been having problems with large and huge universes which get to the point when its being processed by the pc but then says that it has stopped working and that windows needs to close it down sending a check on what is causing it but coming back with nothing. what should I do?

Reply to Wish List in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I once had the Dread Lords and the Pirates at the same time...strangely the Dread Lords didn't even attempt to fight their way out of the problem, they just sat in their planet and waited. Bug or are they scared of the Pirates?

Wish List in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

After playing TOA loads I have some things I would LOVE to see that shouldn't be too difficult to implement. I need subtitles for campaigns and other cut scenes as I cannot understand them because I'm deaf. I need different victory cut scenes for when I win. I have seen the others so many times I end up skipping them and it doesn't add to the victory anymore. It would be good to have victory videos for each ethical alignment or just a random selection of conquest victory

Ascension in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I managed to ascend and quite frankly the movie sucked...too similar to tech victory and didn't give you that sense of achievement. I would have liked a bit of smug power wielding with the races bowing down before me and submitting to my wonderful power...ahem... :D

ascension not happening in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

bug...screen moving away from planet in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

i've loaded up a game and about half an hour into the game the screen started going funny. I have it in windowed mode. the screen won't stay on target, instead the whole view drifts upwards and makes the game unplayable. I have re-started but to no success.

Reply to Ideas for the Vasuri in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

the thing that threw me was the resource collection. I'd had visions of the Vasari using those nanite vortices to suck up the asteroids not have the same resource collection method as the TEC. for me, the main change between them are cosmetic with the ships, the phase gate tech (which really should be earlier in the game) and there not being a dunov style restore shields on other ships facility. that said I do like the Vasari's ships more

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...when I'm the Vasari and zoom out then back in with caps lock I can't see my ships/icons and am unable to select!!!! it happened with the TEC. both on random large maps Beta 3 worked fine but Beta 4 is just unplayable.

Reply to Invisible Unit Problem Beta 4 in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I'm on a new laptop running vista and it seems to be running smoothly except for my ships going invisble with vasari and TEC ships on certain planets. No icons show in some areas of the game, very annoying!!!!!!!!!! I think I can sniff a bug!!!

Reply to Minefields in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

you have to remember mines don't care whose ships they damage. you could have research techs for your mines to be friendly to you as you transmit codes...intelligent mines could be attracted to enemies...think I saw something on that in Star Trek.

Reply to Wish List in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Spies have been mentioned as something that could be looked at in an expansion. For stargates, wait and see The Jammer Beacon would just be incredibly annoying, IMO. How would you destroy it if you can't control your ships near it? There's already a capital ship ability (magnetize hull)
