Reply to Honest opinions, please - is the game worth buying during the current sale? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Not worth buying yet, unless you really want it to burn out on it or let it sit on your computer until it gets better. Currently it is jarringly uneven, mopving between boring, one more turn, and wtf? Has been getting better, and will probably be worth buying eventually. Ask again next time it, and the dlcs, are on sale.

Suggestion for Base designs in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

In my last game, the ships I got for anomalies were 0 engine 1 life support 4 weapon 3 shield. With credits now being important, I was unwilling to upgrade most of them to a design I liked. This design works great on pirates, but I suffered 50% casualties when I attacked a pirate base with a fleet of 6. I would like the ability to specify a build order for the most basic craft in the designer. For example: Small co

Started 1.3 game, gave up - capital placement in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I started a new game with the 1.3 patch (didn't play 1.2 much). Nice start, 2 bread basket planets near my homeplanet. Colonized both planets, reloaded, did it again. And again. Sucky colonization events I can live with, but sucky colonization events plus sucky colony capital placement = ragequit. I tried a dozen times from various save points out of sheer pique. Maybe one time in 3 the capital ended up some

[1.10 opt in] Malevolent / Relentless still grants +10 Manu to first 2 worlds in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

This should give the +10 manufacturing to the homeworld. Good news, +1 raw production and there is a tooltip giving you the breakdown.

Reply to Each Planet Should Only Get Benefit from One Starbase in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

+1 Sick of GalCiv III being all about Starbase and Constructor spam. Blowing up ships is fun. Blowing up starbases to make room for your own is not. Reminds me of the siege and tower spam of Eve Online. I still remember clearing and claiming the south after the fall of BoB to the Goons. No thanks.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III - Patch 1.03 in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="78" id="3560760"] We are also fixing an issue where you can't request constructors on 1.03 if you started the game on a prior version. [/quote] Prior default constructors probably too big to build with mass changes.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III - Patch 1.03 in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Don't like how engines are also more massive, may not be an issue on smaller maps, but not being able to fit engines on warships and more engines on scouts and constructors is a pain on larger maps.

Reply to What is an increase in "Total Manufacturing" from Durantium Refinery? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Don't like it, preferred when it was a bonus to production and could be tweaked based on the sliders. This mandates that every planet be building somethign every turn, so you can't go 100% research or Econ and leave the queue empty / no starbase.

Prolific nerfed, abundant stars actually has abundant stars not sure what else changed.

Reply to 1.02 opt in, abundant stars. So where are the stars? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Too few stars, but I am seeing lots of habitable planets, as many as 3 a system, on common planets. The lack of stars makes expansion problematic, even on abundant. I use Gigantic maps. I'd bump up the number of stars but reduce habitable planets based on what I've seen in this opt in.

Reply to Malevolent Ideology (Relentless) Bug in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

These boosts applying to both planets in home system was fixed for a while, then it came back. Looks like the +10 to raw manufacturing, instead of raw production, is WAD, based on text. Which I dislike, as it forces your homeworld to always produce something or use a project. Did submit a ticket.

Malevolent / Relentless bug? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I thought that relentless boosted raw production and only applied to the homeworld. In my game started under the monday patch, relentless adds 10 raw production to manufacturing in my first world and my mars. Even at 100% research I have 10 raw manufacturing production, plus modifiers (160% for 4 factories). No support ticket, never been able to get it to work. Also, the military manufacturing boost from Ruthless is also doubling shipyard

Reply to Events happen in the wrong order in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

2 clicks a turn makes the game seem to take much longer that it does. I'd suggest changing the button to say "move all queued ships" or just "move ships" before it says "end turn."

They also queue up durantium refineries right after the shipyard, despite the 30 turn build time, the minimal benefits, and the use of a limited strategic resource.
