Well said. I feel much the same way. And since I never completed the GC2 campaigns, and since the couple of times I've tried to go back and do them they crash on me, the idea of somehow getting them into GC4 is an interesting idea.

After deleting the last of the downloaded civs that I had suspected of causing this problem, I started a new game, and after 100 turns I got this, so I would conclude that the downloaded civs were not the cause of the problem.

And, after researching Flexible Bulkheads, the frigate is back in my shipyard list.

Reply to Ships missing from Shipyard ship list in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

After researching the cruiser tech, the default game-generated cruiser design showed up in my shipyard along with the fighter and bomber, but the frigate is still missing.

Reply to Ships missing from Shipyard ship list in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

I may have run into this same bug. I started this game on 2.31, and progressed through the tech tree until I could build frigates. I actually built several of them at 2 different shipyards, then, some time later, I noticed that frigates were no longer available to build in my shipyard list, I could only build fighters and bombers. I haven't designed any of my own ships yet, just using the default ships. Also, I haven't obsoleted any ship designs (I know that's caused problems in the p

I don't use as big a screen as you do, but I do played zoomed out a lot of the time. Mousing over the planets makes the labels fade out so you can see what's behind them, but I agree that a hotkey would make it more convenient.

I believe the developers prefer that you store the save on on a file sharing site like Dropbox and post a link to it here in the forum thread.

I have been informed that the Breeding Season achievement is attainable, although very convoluted to get, so I've moved it to the "Working" list.

Reply to Spanish language in English Game in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

Downloading the civs was all it took, I never actually tried having them in any of my games.

Reply to Spanish language in English Game in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

I reported this problem months ago on Discord. I think it started happening to me after I downloaded some civs from the workshop. I wasn't sure if it was Spanish or Portuguese. Anyway, it was still happening to me this last week, so when I started a new game I deleted all the civs I had downloaded and so far it hasn't happened again, although I'm only about 20 turns into the new game, so I wouldn't consider that definitive yet.

Are your colonists happy? If they are so unhappy that they are rebelling you won't be able to load them onto colony ships.

Reply to invulnerable battleship in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Tactical repair does repair damage every phase of combat. It's always worked that way, and is one of the primary reasons to use ancient civs. With the ancient research boost already nerfed, removing living ships would make ancient mush less desirable for players to use.

Reply to 2.3 Insider truce request with unmet Civ in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

Those look like the Snathi and Thalans, both of which spawn in via random event and start at war with everyone. Have you checked your diplomatic status to make sure you're not at war with them?

Reply to Is the QPU broken? in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="Jaia" reply="3" id="3916263"] But it clearly says + 1 research, not wealth, isn't it ? [/quote] Look back at your screenshot. Right beneath the QPU title it says Wealth Improvement. Seems like it should be Research, but it's not.

Reply to Is the QPU broken? in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Note that the QPU is a wealth improvement, so it does not benefit from research adjacencies. One can of course ask why it is wealth instead of research, but this might explain what you're seeing.

Reply to 2.1 Insider - Ancient Star Map in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="scifi1950" reply="6" id="3912701"] I think you just got lucky. I've never had it reveal the new planet, which is why I keep complaining about it [/quote] I've had an event generated planet revealed that way just once. Every other time the map does not jump, the planet remains displayed as a dead world, and I have to search for it. I can't swear that the time it worked was the same event. Are there two or more events that reveal planets like this?

Reply to 2.1 Insider - Ancient Star Map in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

I agree. I find it either by checking if my "advisors" are telling me to colonize this new planet, or, failing that, by going to the planets list and scrolling down to the uncolonized planets and searching for it there.

Reply to How do I start using Mods from this site and installing them ? in GalCiv IV Modding GalCiv4 Forums

They changed things in 2.1, looks like that doesn't work any more. There's now a Mods button on the launcher, but that only allows you to download mods, not factions or ships. Hopefully they'll get it fixed when their vacation ends on Monday.

Reply to The Navigatoir faction is trying to teach me German in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

I get the same, only in Spanish, and not just from the Navigators. I sent one of the developers a saved game where it was happening so I hope it can be fixed soon. I'm not at all sure that it's related, but have you recently downloaded any player-created civs?

Reply to Dreadnaught On Turn 70 For Xelosi On Godlike in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

That's one of the Xeloxi Commander Ships, not a dreadnaught they researched and built. So they still had to research far enough to get that commander ship, but not all the way (and on a different path) to dreadnaught tech.

Reply to Need Help Removing Mods in Gal Civ 3 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv4 Forums

Go to your Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Mods folder. Find and delete the subfolders for each mod you installed. The folder ExampleMod comes with the game, so you don't need to delete that, but all other folders are the mods you installed. If you have the Crusade expansion, also check the Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\EXP2_Crusade\Mods folder. If you installed any mods there you should delete them also. Again, there may be an ExampleMod folder there, leave it alone as it was shipped with th
