Reply to Another plea for repeating projects on planets in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

How about just enabling planetary options for BOTH repeat project and ignore empty queue's? Do we have hope? we do keep asking, but not sure its hope, more like yelling at the rain. TBH, pretty sure these kind of requests are just as ignored now as they were during paid beta. Accordingly, I would not hold my breath for this ever being acted on.

BUG: Opponent Citizen Transport : Capture = no further action possible in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Found an interesting bug the other day, and can not find any other reference to it. Promoted a Commander to Privateer, spotted an opponents citizen transport, attacked it, won, captured it... but I now have a tiny ship that I can do absolutely nothing with (all options are grey), and the game is in a process loop that tells me I have to do something with it. Seems there is something crucial missing here. Either the transport should be flagged as not conver

Latest patch & resolution bug in diplomacy in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

At 2560 x 1080 resolution, noticed a resolution discrepancy that was not present prior to patch. If engaging a race via the diplomacy tab, the side bars do no black out as they should, instead showing the previous screen (making it near impossible to read). If you go to players planet and choose "speak to", it correctly blacks out the side bars.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="71" id="3481521"] It would be neat if the ship models get updated to a newer look, or some other visual effect occurs. The advanced tech age might be a good trigger for random events as well. As with the requirements it has currently, the game can assume that the player has ships with guns on them.

[quote who="sulley1" reply="30" id="3481505"] Many, many of the ideas here should be implemented. I would actually like the ship autopilot routes to be changed back to the galciv2 versions. They were so much easier to look at. The blue was familiar and having all the colors just distracts from the other visuals in the game. I want the game to feel polished and look good, not have great looking ships with very poor looking UI on the map. [/quote] I'll secon

Keep having this one stray through once and a while: Selectable LZ for the initial colony. Also, would like to see an auto option for constructors to hunt down SB's (and SY's if they are going to be like SB's after all) that need repairs or upgrades (in that order).

Reply to How do you guys feel about three ages in the research tree? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

The analogy that I am getting from this is akin to another game that has "ages", and bonuses that correspond to those ages. Maybe they plan on something similar? Other than that, it's just another mile marker that will likely be ignored unless there is something tangible to go with it.

I saw another thread where they were also experiencing this issue with a system with CPU graphics and a dedicated card. They switched from the dedicated to the CPU, and it (missing text) was fixed, but the graphics quality suffered horribly.

Reply to Possible bug? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

You can do the same thing with your own SB & SY (build SB, un-anchor & move SY to SB tile, drop anchor). I am also guessing this is a bug, but have not seen anything on it one way or another.

[quote who="Keystone1788" reply="51" id="3481267"] Right now the concept of Ages is a hard barrier which requires an elaborate explanation for why a civilization which just researched "Agricultural Optimization" can't start trying to figure out "Food Distribution" or "Intensive Farming" until they research Missile Point Defenses and Zero Gravity Construction.

Require colonization ability of Planet Type before allowing that type to be invaded. Also, only allow bombardment of planets (if researched) that are not meeting the above requirement. Available bombardment types would be further restricted to targeting population and/or structures using the same research restrictions. Further, Keep bombardment without invasion as an option. This would add a dynamic to hamper or even eradicate colonies without requiring the "invader" to take c

Reply to Please Hurry with a Fix in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I recently found a crash bug when removing an Omega Research building from a planet (killing off research once all viable components completed as game freezes once all available research is done). If I left the building alone, I could play on. But even removing the building causes game crash at the end of the next turn cycle. I need to do some more testing before I submit since the planet in question has 8 or so SB's affecting it.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="42" id="3481102"] I think it is a good way of not forcing cross tree tech requirements, otherwise, I think planetary invasion should require at minimum the colonization tech. [/quote] Personally, I think that some technologies Should require some cross development to be researched. Example: Blocking higher "warp" speeds without corresponding life support AND gravitational control research (both of which could easily tie in

[quote who="EleventhStar" reply="21" id="3481171"] You should add making of Federations to the list. Was a interesting idea from Stardrive. Basically a stronger bond between civs then a alliance, where you get control of the other civ. This way you can get full control of a other civ by either a surrender or a federation, and you can get partial control of a civ by either by making then a vassal or making a alliance. [/quote] </
