Reply to GalCiv DEV Journal: You're in for an AI treat in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

[quote]One thing that would be nice for me is to have a simple way to tell you what I see and send you what you need to recreate or at least look into it. So in saying that, maybe you could create a way for me to report from inside the game so I don't have to leave the game and therefore not put it off and never do it. Maybe a button or menu item that initiates a save of the appropriate data and allows for me to write a summary of the problem. Then submit via email all from

Reply to Surviving Early Game Attacks? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I tend to build none or very few military ships (only enough to deal with pirates) until I get the first war declaration, prefering to spend resources on recon (awacs cargo ships are a must here), colonization, starbases and planet buildup first. But I always research/trade for relevant techs (engines, sensors, hulls, capacity, weapons) and build a few dedicated shipyard worlds so that when the time comes, I can switch focus and churn out warships ASAP. Couple this with buying mercs and I can

Ankylon Group Shield ability effect in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The ability spawns a very opaque and bright overlay on every ship within range, blanketing your fleet in a shining greenish goo to the point where its impossible to see individual ships or weapons fire. Consider changing the effect to something more subtle please.

Two small bugs (not very important) in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

1. When you colonize a new planet, on the Colonizing Event screen, an old picture from the previous Colonizing Event screen appears for a split second before it changes to the new correct one. 2. On the Starbases tab in the sidebar, when you click on a type of starbase (Shipyard, Economic, Mining) just after selecting the tab (when its set to All), sometimes it does nothing, and you have to click on another type for the button you originally wanted to start work ag

Reply to GalCiv III visuals in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

Galciv 2 ships looked pretty good, so I am confident they will look great in GC3. What should the graphics guys work more on are the weapon effects and ship explosions, those were average at best. And beams is GC2 sometimes appeared misaligned or offset from the ships they were firing from.

Reply to Best AMD PC for price in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Not an optimal build for a gaming computer. Buy 8 GB of RAM instead of 16 GB. Buy a better graphics card with the saved money. I would buy Radeon R9 280X. Or perhaps wait for 290X with non-reference coolers to appear.

Reply to Some Random inside GalCiv III talk in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

[quote] Instead, I am planning to have the AI look at every ship design any player has ever designed and do evaluation on that and pick from that. So the better players get at designing ships, the better the AI will get. While this might seem like "a lot" of ships, let's assume there are 15 million ship designs in the database. I can narrow that down to a few hundred thousands for my purposes. That might seem like a lot but it is a lot fewer than the AI doing tons o

I dont mean exactly the same stargate technology as pre-hyperdrive civs have, but new stargates upgraded with hyperdrive technology. While not instantaneous, they could still be many times faster than even the fastest hyperdrive alone. This would be balanced by high research and building cost, and perhaps by limits (you can build no more than 3 gate pairs, otherwise you risk destabilising the local hyperspace). That way hyperdrive would still stay relevant, hyper-stargates would be just anoth

Suggestions for GalCiv 3 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I would like the actual ship models size differences between ship size classes in combat viewer to be greater than in GalCiv2. Nothing kills the epic battle atmosphere more than deploying your new massive hulled capital ship with many times the cost, firepower and crew compared to smaller size, only to find it only twice the lenght of the smaller sized hulls at most, or seeing large-hulled capship occupy the same 3D space as three-four tiny sized fighters. It really looks lame.. Tiny-si

Infinite procedurally generated galaxy in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

With the jump to 64 bits, there is no reason to have only fixed, pregenerated galaxy sizes. Why not take the Minecraft / Elite approach? Procedurally generated galaxy could be essentially infinite (in practice it would still be limited by 64-bit precision, and your computer memory and CPU, but it could still be many times larger than galaxy wholly generated at the start of the game). Minecraft world is 7000x larger than the surface of the Earth for example.
