One of the things civ6 did very right is give each civ a "personality". Make sure you design the gal civ ai accordingly!!

Reply to DEV DIARY: AI Walkthrough of 1.84 in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

I'm actually really excited for these changes. Especially the starbase changes. The worst part about the game right now is spamming economic starbases. It's so tedious, yet necessary at the higher difficulty levels to build a high end economy.

Reply to Confused: Are Drengins overpowered? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Yeah its not the worst tree, but its nowhere near the iconian / thalan trees in terms of amazingness. Torians and Arceans are probably better too.

This honestly is nowhere near as big a bonus as you think lategame. Its nice earlygame though. But sadly the Drengin tech tree is generally outclassed by many other races

Endless Space 2 - ideas for GalCiv in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

So I played a couple of games of the alpha/beta over the past few days. Some initial thoughts: The game is visually stunning with an awesome soundtrack. The politics system is awesome, and really affects your gameplay. Although I feel like I have trouble guiding / influencing it as the player. I especially like the way you can absorb minors into your faction, but at the cost of more complex politics. I know Frog has mentioned that GalCiv is getting

Reply to Tech Trees - Which is your favourite and why? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Iconian replicator has awesome early game potential with +3 adjacency for tech farms and factories But not as good as thalan. But then thalan lacks living ships

Reply to Tech Trees - Which is your favourite and why? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Honestly living ships alone makes them a late game powerhouse

Reply to Tech Trees - Which is your favourite and why? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Imo iconian is the strongest late game. Living ships is just insanely good - reduces all ship maintainence to 0, meaning you can have literally unlimited ships. Also gives strong repair during battle. They get a great early game buidling in the fabricator / replicator. It's not quite as good as Thalan building early game but imo it's better late game. They get a 10% extra capacity and -20% logistics. Also a really po

I mean, the cutscenes for wonders in smac really enhanced the immersion of the game. Galciv could do loads of them too. First contact First ship First capital ship (done) Key technologies - small medium large huge carriers Doomsday weapons (reaching nightmare torpedoes etc) So many more! I mentioned this once earlier but even the tech text etc could really use an overhaul. Check out smac again for insp

Reply to GC3 How To Win Article in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Agree with most things. The diplomacy exploits is a kinda cheesy way to get around money issues :D You should talk about race (tech trees). It matters quite a bit. Playing as Iconian/Thalan tech trees are a big advantage - thalan early game, iconian late game.

Reply to Malevolent only viable choice at high difficulties? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

To qualify, I tend to go benevolent early, but pick up the pragmatic "no war" ideology at roughly turn 50. In my experience DoW's from godlike and incredible tend to come around turn 55-60 and picking up this single ideology buys 50 turns to transition to military techs and build up a fleet. Even if a one or two enemies DoW early, it can stop the chain DoW's that tend to happen when you are weak early and end up in a war with you vs 6+ godlike neighbours. Usually at th

Reply to Malevolent only viable choice at high difficulties? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I think at the highest difficulties the 50 turn war embargo is largely essential. I dont know how you take on a godlike near neighbour without it - their early bonuses are extreme. Those 50 turns are crucial to get yourself to a point where you can at least resist the inevitable invasion

Well, fine. Turns out there are religious people on both sides that seek to regulate the lives of others. As I said, both sides are as bad as each other.

Reply to First World Problems: July 2016 in Politics GalCiv3 Forums

Why is it overreach? When the state signed up to the federation and the constitution, which rules over both state and federal laws, they also agreed to be bound by the ruling of federal courts as they decide whether any law, state or federal, satisfies the constituition. So there's been no overreach. The fact the state disagrees is really tough luck. If they disagree that badly they can always secede. That's just followin

I could have guessed that would be the response. Doing a quick Google search of any trump rally would show the right is just as bad as the left. Or pickets at abortion clinics.

Actually on the contrary, people have every right to call for his job. That's free speech in action. Whether they should do it is a different matter. Like you I don't think so. Now threatening stuff is illegal and for good reason. It's no longer "free speech" once you threaten or imply violence. As for the evil government, you Americans luckily have a constitution, enforced by the law, that guarantees free speech. Most countries don&#3

Nobody is throwing people in jail or executing them for using the word black. Hence not anti free speech. Again, unless you are getting jailed or shot, there is no right to "free speech". Now, are "SJWs" censors? Probably. "Safe spaces" is clearly a load of bollocks - at least the way it is used today. Anyone who feels the need to isolate themselves from broader society, and impose their views rather than convince oth

Freedom of speech only implies the freedom not to be locked up, killed, or otherwise impeded by the law for what you say. It in no way frees you from the consequences of what you say. Your employer doesn't like what you say? Not covered. The media won't report on what you say? Not covered. A forum bans you for being an ass-hat? Not covered. The joy of capitalism is that you can vote

Oh nvm I read you are playing terran. Try swapping race to iconIan- or build a custom terrain race with iconIan tech tree

Reply to Why are my worlds so undeveloped? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It sounds like you are not specialising your planets. What race are you playing? Try using iconian or Thalan tech tree. Thalan is best early game, but iconian has the best tech in the game - living ships, once you make it past age of war. Iconian is also good early game- just not as good as thalan.

Reply to Major AI flaw in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

Well, the problem is its rare the dev's get the handicap to apply evenly across the game. Usually it means they kick ass earlygame, and still suck lategame, because the handicap doesnt scale. If they build improvements on a planet in a smart way, then they will naturally keep up with or surpass the player - after all AI is excellent at micro
