Reply to GalCiv III: Labor Day Coding Extravaganza! in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

Many of the Mercs could use a balance pass, in my opinion. A few are completely broken, like the one that increase base influence (Auspicious Start in particular, Lutitia less so due to the additional influence per turn). Several should be re-classified as support (Hivebase One, Bitte, Erragis, Heptium, Gestalt, Sidrat, Compact, Lutitia, Linked Aerie) because they do not appear to be intended as frontline warships while others should be moved from support to escort or capital because th

As someone who immensely enjoys the Mercenaries DLC (to the point that I took the excellent post from Old-Spider and modded the Bazaar to include all mercs in every game), I too would like to know when the Bazaar will get a balance pass. In along with the useless mercs pointed out by Seilore, at the moment the Shaout is immensely easy to run the table with, as I can usually acquire it before the AI even has large hulls (not to mention huge). As much as I like having my own personal Yamato/Bis

Reply to Surrender or else in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I could see this phrased as "You are defenseless, hand over your planets peacefully so we do not need to butcher your people" or something along those lines. Yes, it would require some specific circumstances (enemy fleets almost all destroyed, legions reduced X amount or %), but an argument could be made that some leaders would rather spare their people in such a situation than subject them to the horrors of a war that seems already lost. Insofar

Spec Ops / Counter Spy Unit in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

So, I was thinking it would be cool to be able to make a special ops detachment unit, in line with the new citizen system and invasion mechanics. It would occupy an area between the spy and the legion, without replacing or overwriting either. I have a pretty solid idea of what missions it could have and the form it would take, but it's not a perfect idea yet. In my mind, the spec ops unit would be a mission built from a shipyard, with 4 missions split 2 on offense and 2

As to the original question, I find it much more immersive to create my own civ with strengths and weaknesses to mirror and mitigate respectively what I consider to be important. I also enjoyed creating the backstory for this civ as to how they came to be a player on the galactic stage. As to developing your own strategy, I think there is no shame in playing a few games on easy to explore the tech trees and get comfortable with the locations of techs that will really boost your playst

[quote who="BuckGodot" reply="6" id="3638175"] If you want a bit more of a surgical approach, go into a faction tech tree and set the Research Cost for a tech to 0, That tech will then be automatically learned upon the start of a game. This lets one custom tailor which techs are learned at startup and not just gift all of the techs that are age specific. As for each age, in the base game, it takes 12 techs to reach the Age of War, 64 techs to reach the Age of Ascen

I asked for this option a few months ago in this forum and got no response. My idea was to have something similar to Civ V where everyone would start farther up the tech tree at a predetermined point. I personally like the colony rush portion of the game, I just don't appreciate the time it takes to find new systems and get ships there without a sensor merc early on.

Reply to Comparing GalCiv III with GalCiv II: what happened to the planetary micromanagement and gameplay? in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

Zingo has it exactly right, with minor caveats. Option 1 will unlock the wheel on that specific planet, and it uses a tile to do so. Option 2 unlocks it for your custom civ but it takes a trait point. Option 3 will allow you to use it on any race, even pre-set ones if you don't wish to make a new one, and it doesn't use tiles or trait points.

Reply to Comparing GalCiv III with GalCiv II: what happened to the planetary micromanagement and gameplay? in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

Hello Bren, I believe the stars cannot be renamed because Stardock allowed Founders to get their name on a star at some point, at least before I started playing during the open beta. These are randomly generated from what I can tell. You can rename the planets you control at least, it is under the Govern Planet button on the bottom left. Shipyards and planets are not required to be building assets. Planets can be set to push their production to ot

[quote who="mortili" reply="4" id="3626133"] well my guess with this is that the game runs out of colonization events, and then gives you the precursor ones until you got them all and the game starts to use the normal ones again [/quote] This would be my uneducated guess based on 6 or 7 games of this happening, but happening differently each time. It seems to occur after 30-35 colonization's, usually around or before turn 100. The precursor events will be

Swayer-11 in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

Not sure if I have the name exactly right, but I am referring to the merc that instantly swaps planets in the AOE where it plants a starbase. It seems that the system treats this merc like a regular constructor if you have it stationed at a starbase. I tend to keep my mercs at a starbase near my home planet until I can organize them in a fleet. I also tend to save at the end of a turn, so I can pick up from more or less the same point when I return to a game. I will usu

If mercenaries are killed or used they are done for the rest of that game. As much as I would like to re-use The Last Boyar, he is a one shot deal, like the constructor that flips planets in its AOE. I also think he has the coolest backstory, for what it's worth.

Colonize event sometimes not happening in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Started a new game after getting the Precursor and Mega Event DLCs, Insane map with 30 civs (I like to have elbow room at start). Just under 200 turns in, and I have now had 3 occurrences of the colonizing event not appearing. None of the planets were Precursor planets. I didn't see anything in the patch notes about a limit on those events, so I'm inclined to think this is a bug. Since I started noticing the events not appearing, it looks like the success/skip rate is about 50

I have a mod request. In Civ V, there exists an option to start the game at a later Age (I usually started at the Industrial Age). I have not seen any such option in this game, and I would expect there are some others out there that would also enjoy such a setup, as you could get to the large fleet battles that looked so fun in the dev streams much faster. Back in Beta, I could give myself the requisite techs one by one if I didn't want to unlock all of them all at once, but that was a bi

Fixed. Not sure why, as I remember doing this before as well, but I'm not going to complain about good results. I'm not sure if renaming the file GalCiv3(Old) makes a difference, but that is what I did last time. Will you need the debug and pref files or is there a way to send the whole folder?
