Free Ideology (sometimes) in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

There are times when I am looking at ideology, while a turn is going by. Just looking things over. I noticed that, if I click on a choice, and no pop-up occurs, I can go through and pick any ideology I want (that I have current access to) and when I close the window, some pop-up had been in the way. So I can click on "Yes I want this Ideology Choice" for every hidden popup, and get them all, even though I had a single culture point.

Reply to Scanning Planets from Space in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="williamameling" reply="1" id="3829890"] I think that the Wasteland tiles give a -1 to all adjacent tiles. [/quote] Planetary terrains only give boni/mali to the tile itself, no adjacencies for them. Wastelands give -1 to all placed on them.

Scanning Planets from Space in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I recently got a Resource on a class 4 planet, and mined it from space, but alas, it was on a Wasteland tile, so I got no benefit. I would not have colonized this planet had I known that. Sure, I can Core the planet, and nullify the -1 to all. But I'd like to know that I need to do that before spending a citizen on both a colony ship, and a governor. So I propose, somewhere along the Sensor line, we get the ability to scan a planet from space. Cost a Thulium

Just mined a planet for the much-needed Precursor Nanites - it was a class 4 planet so no need to do anything but mine from space. After a few turns, I realized it was not up on the top panel Resource Board, so I looked at the planet, and it gave the report "Tiles with a negative value do not provide resources" or some such. The Nanites were apparently on a Wasteland (-1 to all). Special resources should not be placed on special tiles. (edit: I ima

Get them all, and stomp any who try to take your planets. Or delay it, go for influence. Or just make a bunch of trade ships. Choices.

[quote who="alderaine" reply="66" id="3829322"] It is game breaking because you can never talk to the race again. It ALWAYS shows the same dialog and you can't close the dialog without making a selection. [/quote] "Game Breaking" means you cannot play the game because of this bug. This is not game breaking. It is exploitive. One can still play the game even with this bug.

Reply to 0.65 UI Changes - Most Great, Some Terrible in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

I agree with most of this list, but the Ship Roles were a part of GC3, I do believe the Ship Roles are not being used in GC4 (or if so, in a much different way). This was the part of GC3 combat which was most broken, so I for one am glad to see it being changed.

Reply to Chimeric Biomass bug in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

Oh, I'm sure it is a bug. I was just observing that it gives anywhere from 0-2 tiles, and does always give the food bonus. They should either fix the tiles, or the text.

Reply to Festron Infestation in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

in 0.65 the trade route screen shifted to the Policies screen, lower left button, it is annoying and I hope they fix it in the next update.

Reply to Chimeric Biomass bug in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

I've experienced this, and also it giving only 1 tile. I think the tooltip should read "up to 2 tiles". The artifact always does give the promised food bonus.

Reply to 323 Turns and Only 7 Ideology Points? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

The basic gist, I think, is that a balance needs to be had between ideology points gained, and how ideology points are used. Especially with the Arcean ships each gaining a Culture point (that's 3 early, 2 more not far behind) there aren't enough ways to go deep into a path right now. My basic ideas are (1- Policies went from +3 to +0, and this is too severe, make it +1 at least, and (2- make planetary events more common, maybe 25%, and see how it goes

Reply to 323 Turns and Only 7 Ideology Points? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

@gypsy - there seem to be many more class 10-12 planets, and even some of the 2-4 planets have better resources. Certainly they are not worth ignoring.

I really want my economy screen back. Having different parts of it "back door hidden" in different areas is keeping me logistically informed enough to play, but ... I'd love to see what is going on all at once. It would not be so bad if not for food. The econ screen did GC4 stats on food. Nothing else does. But still. I want the rest too. All on one scrollable screen. (edit) and as OldSpider already mentioned, the only way to upgr

Reply to 323 Turns and Only 7 Ideology Points? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Yes, the reduction of planetary colonization events, and the lack of focus for policies (they went from +3 to 0, a huge experiment) makes ideological difficult on this alpha release. At least it is playable, and we have an idea of what Tourism will do.

Pirates do respawn early now, but the Space Monsters spawn ships rather than monsters. Not a huge deal, but it takes away from the aesthetic.

Reply to Colonization Narrative in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

agreed, 10% seems sparse. But also agreed that 100% was a bit much, especially with the expanded Ideology options (you can get both sides at once now)

I deleted my "Documents / My Games / GalCiv4 /" folder and re-verified, and all loads great.

also on Windows 10, with up to date drivers. I tried verifying, but not uninstalling/reinstalling yet.

Reply to Black Ring Around Galaxies in 0.65 in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

The zooming issue I had yesterday doesn't seem to be happening today. It was a strange glitch. But the black ring is still around the sector perimeter.

Reply to Black Ring Around Galaxies in 0.65 in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

the ring seems to be attached to problems with the zoom tools, for me. I can barely play, as every time I move my view, I end up in empty space.

Reply to Mysterious Rim in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

me too, barely playable with the ring, and as well the zooming tools are all wonky.
