I also think that 3d for GalCiv3 would be fantastic, very difficult to come up with a user friendly game, but it should be tried for. In the current version of the game it is annoying to see ships weaving their way through other ships and planets when they should just be travelling on a different z axis. GM12
Sorry my bad, The minimap had defaulted to a display of only anomalies and hence nothing showed up. I had used this setting briefly ina previous game, so I think not going to a proper default setting for the mini-map is still a bug although a very minor one. GM12
V1.31, no mods, gigantic map and choosing a custom race with the default technologies, and hence stellar cartography, only gives an empty mini-map. I tried re-loading the game and unchoosing and rechoosing stellar cartography and same result. Also choosing Technologists as the political party did not seem to give any research advantage until I reloaded - ion engine reserach time went from 7 weeks to 6 weeks. GM12
