Firsrly i must commemd Stardock with there bravery to basiccally rebuild a game from the ground up.  it was a bold move that paid off in my opinion.

I played GalCiv 3 from alpha stage but my interest significantly wained after Mercs.

Howecer Crusade has totally reinvigorated the game dor me and maddiction is back with a vengence (much to my wifes dismay).

I love the new citizen mechanic but more than that I love how resources matter now!  

Ive only scratched the surface  (havent tried out the new invasion or espionage mechanics yet) but so far its awesome!

it seems that all the tech have changed, but the existing icons are re-used for something else.  Was that intended or is it a glitch?

seriously  disappointed  also

the tutorial was more easy than  eating a cake 

maps to small

no upgrade for multiplayer

graphics looks like a 2 year old did them 

invasion ok 

explorers are not surveyers as it a diffrent meaning , 

farms should count to population  growth per planet and why you need cities there no point in cities really spoils the fun

other aspects were ok , but in all lack of content makes it not worth the money

have removed  crusade from my version and am thinking of getting a refund 

simple  steam support then you pick game and it say it not what you thought it be and offers a refund

i agree with you and i got over 458 hours on gc3 

me and my friend would like a bigger multi map like insane but it stuck on gigantic , i wonder if they ever sort that

Map sizes were updated today. They are now exactly the same as the base game.

next week a new, bigger map,size called ludicrous that's about 4X bigger than insane is expected to be released.

You upgrade starbaes by selecting them and buying the modules you want.

wi

will it apply to base game n other dlc?

what of  multiplayer?

i real don't want bother with cities ,  food should be based on planet farms per planet or it is a waste of time unless you use it to cap the ground based forces or it not worth it. the time i played it was nothing diffrent to base game to me just irritation and not getting it going faster , resources to me as i did before were really irrelevant

i also noticed that i can play insane on base but not on crusade as it requires more physical memory ram than the original

who did the graphics a 1 year old or 2 year old , also noticed you do same as stellaris in showing territory  when zooming out with stellaris being superior due to  gc3 looking rather like you released a baby to do it graphicly.

i ask this you say join humanity's crusade  yes on some of the selling adverts right , but exactly how do you do battles in the crusade without a  campaign or a big senario?

I'm loving the changes. I really like a resource based economy and still getting the hang of the citizens.  I will say that it needs a lot of polish and balance though. The map resources are very unbalanced right now. Not sure about the AI yet but I am NOT happy with the massive cash infusions the AI seems to be getting. 

They need to change how resources distribute so it spread evenly, logically. Everyone should get a bit of all resources near their starting area but if they want more, they need to venture out into rich area. Or distribute them evenly but make that you would lack one type of resources to encourage trading with another faction. I did have a game where i can't get any Thulium and it gimp me pretty hard since i can't produce any Mass Driver ship to counter my opponent. It turned into number vs number slug fest.

It would be nice to have somewhat more Durantium and Elerium. I agree there's much Promethium and adequate Thulium.

Resources spawn also dictate from the settings. It is hard to strike a balance until you play a game or two or try all possible combination of them. Heck, the map size itself should have recommended resources spawn settings as a default to balance thing out.
