Wow, until I read your post, I didn’t even know StarCraft: Retribution exists. Never heard of it and first thought it was a typo for Galactic Civilization III: Retribution

My wife and me chose a bad time to move from France to Germany. Right now, we are living in a one-room apartment in Germany until we can get the removal company to transport our furniture across the border. But we are still in good health and the hotel keeps refilling the toilet paper. I only have my MacBook with me, so no GalCiv III for me right now...

How is Unrest generated and how do I counter it? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hello, just as the title says. I have a huge penalty on Moral on my worlds due to Unrest, but I have found (nearly) no clue neither on the official wiki nor these forums on how Unrest is really generated! What determines this value? Why is it larger on some worlds, and smaller on others? For the record, the number of colonies is still below the colony limit of my government.

Is the 'Galaxy Type' option working? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

No matter which option I chose in the Galaxy Type drop down menu at the creation of a new game, the resulting galaxies all have the same star distributions. That is, stars are evenly spread throughout the map instead of say, a galaxy with spiral arms.

Reply to Best / Worst Games Of The 2010s in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

Let's see: If I equate good/bad with how many hours I played a game, then, according to my Steam library, the best game is Civ 5 (close to 1k hours) and the worst Crusader Kings II (1 hour, the system was too complex for me and the learning curve too steep). But StarCraft II doesn't show up, which I also play a lot (the only multi-player game I play). Then there are single player games like X-COM and Subnautica, which I enjoyed quite a lot but only played once (~40 hours each). GalCiv III is

Reply to How do I do Intergalactic travel? in Galactic Civilizations Series GalCiv3 Forums

Drives just make your ships move faster , not further. To extend your ship range, you need to research Life Support technologies in the Engineering research branch. These give your ships a flat increase in Ship Range and unlock ship modules that increase the Range of that ship. Also, building star bases and settling planets increases your Ship Rang.e

Reply to Exciting times for 4X games are coming! in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

The first thing that came to my mind was the infamous SimCity example... but I trust that Brad is sincere about this. But this leads to the question how you pay for such a cloud service? Will it be free (like multiplayer, that use the companies servers)? pay per game? pay per 'level' of cloud assistance? monthly subscription? Personally, I don't want to pay any extra for a single player game.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III: Retribution Journal #1 in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

One thing I still struggle with, is that some buildings provide flat bonuses to Research or Construction while others, like Factories or Research Laboratories, provide a relative increase. So, wouldn't it always be the better option to build the 'flat bonus' buildings on a new planet? In particular since in Retribution population growth is so slow.

Brindley's Observatory not working? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I just completed Brindley's Observatory on a planet. I expected to find a new habitable planet near by. But there is no new colonizable planet. I also looked at the Planets tab on the main screen and didn't find any colonizable planets. Is Brindley's Observatory bugged or am I missing something? Does it take a few turns? Thanks for your help!

[1.83 opt-in] Tool tip for Buy button on Planetary Screen is empty in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Hello, when I hover over the Buy button on the planetary screen, the tool tip does not display any information (e.g. how much it costs to rush a building), just the black box. The Buy button in the Shipyard works fine, though. (I want to attach a screen shot, but the "Insert/Edit Image" just let's me chose an ULR; am I missing something?)

Hello, I quit playing GC3 about a year ago and now came back after patch 1.82. Since people mostly tend to complain, I want to say that I am positively surprised about the state of the game.
