[quote who="jmontesi4" reply="31" id="3620741"] Brad's original reaction seems likely to be an issue with Steam reviews.... and I agree with that part. If you just released something on steam and you get a single bad review posted, steam just puts an " Overwhelmingly Negative" red stamp on your store page Take a cold shower and wait a few days and see how things go, do not panic yet (besides the rating stands at po

Brad, done my bit. Really appreciate the patches/updates. My review did contain a little plug for Espionage. Hint, hint :)
14) Create an exception to the "we don't sell Military techs to anyone but our friends": Let the AI be able to look at a Race it's at war with (or wants to start a war with but wants to damage it first) and sell ships/tech to a nuetral race closest to that Enemy/Soon-To-Be-Enemy. I go along with 9), but I think there should be a limit to how many times you can get away with that before your "Sorry, had a bad day. Took it out on you. Forgive n' forget?" is not forgiven or f
I've only had a very short look at the Mercenaries. I'd imagine that going forward they'll be able to do more things than currently (recon, espionage, propaganda etc? Okay, maybe that'll end up being done by your own Spies but don't see why a Mercenary couldn't do that) and I'd like to see a situation where, yes, the AI can use them well but also a situation where a Mercenary is being hired by two races - which one do they work for? And if that other race
I absolutely don't think Mercenaries should be something you unlock when you reach a certain level. It's like telling a univarsity student he can't get the fake diploma from that internet univarsity thingy until he's graduated from real life univarsity. Maybe SD create a situation where while there might be plentiful bazaars, each bazaar caters to a different speciality? That would make Achronuous' 20 turn victory more a a matter of luck rather than "Oh, look a baz
Banned for battling some of TV greatest villians - all of which happen to be angry Latino men!
Does this mean we can start the Beta Release Pool again? :) I hate losing...
Got 1.6, not Mercenaries. Files are all valid. Edit later: Re-installed GalCiv3. Still cannot see Mercenaries or access the 2 new races.

Beta Launch: NZT Saturday 6/2/16 7AM, EST Friday 5/2/16 1PM First major complaint thread start: NZT Saturday 6/2/16 7:05AM, EST Friday 5/2/16 1:05AM
Anything to get you out of the queue that's in front of me! Nothing personal of course....
And so the GalCiv3 Forummers were caught in the Desert of Soon, where they would climb one sand dune of Soon only to find another. And another. And another. And.... They would spend their remaining time on this Earth travelling through an endless, limitness, mind-destroying number of Soons, broken only be the occassional Next Week stonefield that would lead them straight back to a Soon sand dune.
I've just found a little thing that I think could be changed. I started up GalCiv3 because, heck, it's Tuesday in NZ, that qualifies as "early next week", so where's me update??! Still on v1.5, which is fine. So I exit: And get told "You're so close", when I hadn't even started a game! Maybe make the questions more turn-dependant: "Too scared to even start a game?" etc
BuckGodot, I would suggest the implementation will be that once you purchase a mercenary from the bazaar, you're able to place them where you want them - same as improvements/buildings on planets. Why would you pay a certain amount of bc for a mercenary (who you've hired for a certain job) just to have him/her/it randomly appear somewhere on the map? Especially when that random spot is a fair bit away from the job he/she/it has been hired to do? Unless the mechan
Like Jedistinger, I was hoping for Espionage now rather than later but: Mercenaries! Frogboy was right: A new feature that makes sense and could end up being awesome. No, that wasn't me, that was someone else who killed your leader. No, it wasn't that evil looking guy I just gave 250bc to. I, uh, owed him money for some scum he kill...um work he did on my garden. Why would you think that? I know the description doesn't say they can be used like this but hopefully
Well, there was discussion some time back about how it didn't seem right that other races would show you everything they've got on the Diplomacy screen - which, ally, nuetral or enemy, they were doing. What's your standing with the races? I would guess this is a bug as Stardock haven't said they've altered the diplomacy screen and that what other races will show you is dependant on what their relationship with your race is like.
Also, in this phase your enemies/nuetrals really put on the fancy dinner dates for your allies: "Look, I know he's your friend today, but he's going to break that alliance treaty any time now!" This means your allies may suddenly start going "Um, buddy, I'm getting nervous. Give me some stuff to calm my nerves or I'm afraid I'll have to terminate our arragement." So diplomacy gets very messy...
Yes, in hindsight giving Founders the right to name stars wasn't the best idea, or at least a "no that's too stupid" pass should have been made before names were approved. Says he who named his Star Wishupona... Which, in my defence, I chose because I figured the Drengin, etc wouldn't know the reference so would think "Cool name" not "Duh, named after a line in a nursery rhyme!" No alcohol involved in that decision! I'd say stevezar is right, all playe
Is there any more annoying word used on these Forums than "Soon"? When, I humbly ask thee? Looking forward to it.
JJ was screwed whichever story line he came up with. I absolutely wouldn't want to direct any Star Wars/Star Trek movie because of the fandom and whatever the quality of the plot, the reaction from some would be: "No, you moron film director, Star Destroyers didn't have that hindmost turret on the left side until 34BY so like 600BY after the goddamn movie! And what's with calling people Darth? That didn't happen until 142BY when Count Dooku's Gra
The movie was a bit too "Star Wars: A New Hope For A New Generation" and I agree with the idea that if the Empire was defeated at Endor, isn't the Resistance now the Republic/Government? Of course, there's been 30 years gone by so probably a hand wave or two going on or things will be explained in the next film. Bearing in mind Lucasfilm said anything in the SWEU isn't regarded by them as machine gun (or is it cannon?), they could simply write in that, yes, the Emp
I like pootthedestroyer's ideas, which if I've read him correctly, mean that if you're a Diplomatic player, you got skills!! Skills that even people who might not like you much if at all need you alive for, so they won't go "Look at that namby-pamby with the lousy military, let's murderize his ass!" Your diplomacy skills give you a standing that means that other races may listen to you and do your bidding/take your politely worded suggestion: "Make peace with the
Maiden666, I like your idea... I actually assume I'm dealing with no humans, just races ranging from Most-Human-Like Machines to Least-Human Like Machines to Bugs/Insects etc... And so they can work 24 hours a day if need be to build that thing that humans would take 6 months to build in 1 WEEK!! And they're embarrasing the bunny population, too!
From a Founders viewpoint, I must say it's a bit "Oh, okay then!" I don't mean to say that any of the DLC have been particularly bad or lacking, just that because I prepaid last March/April, this all feels like free stuff (I don't even have to click on anything to download the DLC/patches/etc) and I sometimes start to wonder if anyone's going to suddenly catch up with me and say "Hey, that guy never paid for this!" before remembering I did last year!! Franco,
So the Korx appear to have been ruined by the demon drink, spending their lives in bars if this is a hint...I mean, that and probably listening to much too much music too loudly through those headphones he/she is sporting.
