Weapons and resources in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hi all, I've been away from the game for a while as I didn't like the way some of the updates changed the game. I'm trying the game again with the latest DLC as I like the Drath, but I've come against the same problem as before: Weapons, good ones especially, require resources. I used to like designing my own ships and putting lots of weapons on them. Now I'm really constricted and confused about weapons particularly in the start of the game when resources are scarce.

[quote quoting="post"] ## The upcoming expansion ## The big expansion people have been waiting for is about 75% done now. It will be handled as a DLC mainly because people threw a fit when we made the Ashes of the Singularity expansion a stand-alone and we don't want to go through that again. So we'll figure out some way to take what is, essentially, a new game and make it DLC. Broadly speaking: - Espionage - Interactive Inva

Particles in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I've been meaning to post this for a while but I've only just managed to... I play GalCivIII both on a laptop and on a more powerful desktop. Both are not the latest and greatest machines for gaming, but my desktop manages to play the game decently up to about large maps. On the laptop I can manage to play decently on small maps. On medium maps I get huge slowdowns. I can accept that to a point. I use low textures on the laptop and it helps. I unticked the particles option as well whi

You should go back to the Gover tab and check the % manufacturing below the large wheel. Sometimes it gets stuck on 0% after you have negative treasury and doesn't revert to the previous setting. I don't know why and it's been bugging me for a while.

If you start the game when online and then disable it, does it do what you want? I noticed that a button briefly shows up sometimes and then disappears. It looks like it's doing a check of your assets, if DLCs installed etc.

[quote who="Ser_JuJoo_Guppy" reply="49" id="3620846"] I didn't see a comment on it, but I am highly curious as to whether Admirals / commanders etc are still on the table, and if there is any kind of (even extremely rough) timeline estimate on them, if they are coming? I really miss leveling up my ships, and feel the idea of admirals leveling up instead is quite excellent. Hope its still in the works! [/quote] Mercenaries is somewhat similar! You hire the

IMO dead planets are essential. In Civ games you can't colonise water, mountains etc. Also not all positions are suitable for city founding. This is it in this game.

Reply to Heroes? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

They are indeed the mercenaries. They sort of act like heroes as they give 'special abilities' to your fleet, or at the very least they have them themselves. Heroes has a more epic ring to it, but mercenaries a slightly more sinister tone. I like them anyway ;P

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="32" id="3620779"] free FEATURE based updates aren't creating enough good will to counter the feeling that the DLC does't provide enough [/quote] I think for the vast majority they do. That's what keeps people coming back to stardock and becoming founders. People are always going to complain about things, about getting more. I think feature updates are great, they keep you interested until the next DLC/expansion. Anyway, I understand th

Or you can have it so that to build another starbase you need another starbase already in its area of effect. So the first one needs a planet, then you can daisychain them one after the other. Sounds interesting but then it might add to some frustration and maintainance costs when you only want that elerium near a nebula!

Reply to We could use your help in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

Although you have the right to do this change you mentioned Frogboy, I hope you are not serious. The reason many of us buy Stardock products is the implied continued work and addition of features. It's why you shell up large amount of money up-front to support the game. Without even seeing it. If you remove this reason all you will do is tarnish your reputation. If you drop to other companies level you will lose your differentiator. reviews are all well and good, but it is your ma
