[quote who="Uvah" reply="47" id="3693034"] Some believe the Earth was created six thousand years ago. If that were the case then how do you explain the presence of modern humans in North America forty thousand years ago. Or the existence of Gobekli Tepe twelve thousand years ago in what is now Turkey. Kind of hard to argue with the archaeological evidence staring you in the face. Or how about Eve, the oldest known human ancestor dated at three point five millions years ago. <b

Not just postpone upgrades--but an awful lot of upgrades you're better off never doing at all. The math just doesn't compute.

Reply to Shouldn't the XML be in a publicly-available DVCS? in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

Github is the in-thing for this sort of thing, but because it is XML I would go a step further and have the game interact directly with the repository via REST API. Set up a web page, point to the Mods directory. Browse, perform the equivalent of a git pull. But this is not the only domino that has to fall in order to make modding seamless.

Reply to Thoughts on Linux Support in Stardock Games GalCiv3 Forums

I tend to run Linux on VMware within my Windows box. I would be concerned about performance and mysterious driver issues--would probably have to grub it. I will say this much, though: modding Galactic Civilizations 3 would be a heckuva LOT easier on Linux. I might even move all of my XML files over to my VMware partition and set up my development environment there, now that I think about it.

I was given discretion to use the Discovery vessel to wage war with the Klingons as I see fit! Admiral: We can't afford for the Klingons to know too much about our secret weapon. You are to reel in

Reply to Strategy Guide? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

This game has so many knobs and it changes so much that a strategy guide just doesn't work for this. It would be like publishing a strategy guide for my mod. It also just doesn't take too much expertise to win.

This week I liked both Discovery and Orville, but I have to give the edge to Discovery. Jason Isaacs is seeing a lot of action. I'm still bothered by the plot holes, though: one minute, Captain Lorca is talking to the admiral. The next, he is getting abducted by aliens. When did he ever board a shuttle in the first place??

[quote who="lyssailcor" reply="8" id="3692365"] Hm, that sounds like a good idea I didn't think of yet (but is no option for building up a defence when you see the enemy fleet one turn before it arrives [e digicons];)[/e] ). One more reason why the ground invasion and ground defence system should be revisited by the devs. [/quote] Station legion in one turn is not much of a winning option, either. You can summon multiple legions at once

Reply to 2.6 bugs and qol problems in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I agree about the station garrisons. For Military SB's, I think they should be given one move, just like Terror Stars did. In fact--giving them a planet destroyer upgrade module (which explodes the planet into a bunch of asteroids and durantium) would be really fun. Now that would be cool. Can you imagine blowing up class 0's, crossing your fingers, and hoping for durantium? They already have their effective range increased by 2, which lets them cover m

Unless you are being totally interdicted by fast ships, you can build one transport to "station" 5 legions for cheaper. The AI can't use invasion tactics on you (because your planet is undefended), then you can retake your planet, such that the odds are in your favor. You have the option to use invasion tactics if you want. A transport is not locked down to any one planet. You might be able to leave the transport on one of your own starbases, for a little prot

Why even build Station Garrison in the first place? Planetary Invasion heavily favors the attacker. If you lose a planet, better to use your legion retaking it back. Can't honestly say I have ever lost a planet, either.

I must be very confused. I'm using your mod. The Pollen and Perseverance use 1 admin, as advertised. But not much else is adding up. For example, the Wraith says in the README it is Capital. EXP1_StaticShipBluePrintDefs.xml says it is Escort. The game says it is Support. The Pewpewpewpew has the +100HP, but the game says Capital while the StaticShipBluePrintDefs says Assault. The README doesn't say anything. In al
