GameSpot Video: The Endless Possibilities of Galactic Civilizations III

I really enjoyed that.

"in every one of these 4x games it seems like late in the game it bogged down, i just get um endlessly having to give build orders to things right and we think weve nailed that here"

constructor spam .. definately nailed it

constructor spam .. definately nailed it

Admittedly in the "late game" (which is what Brad was talking about) one can load up ships with enough consturctors to completely build a maxed out starbase in a couple of turns.  Hell, if you grow fast enough, you can get those crazy ships in the "mid game".

I'm already building ships with 12 constructors on it, and once Helios Ore starts working I suspect I can get it up even further.  15 or 16 on a massive hull should be doable.  Get the 2x pragmatic trait and that's 30 contruction points at once.

I find that cuts down on the spam.

EDIT::::: Admittedly, I do have a custom faction with a trait that expands my  hull capacity.   But, really, enough Helios Ore should make up the difference there.  It ain't THAT much of a help.

Is there a download for the Beta?

And, will this work on Win8; or, this moot since it's on steam?

The current Steam version is the latest Beta release (Beta 5 patch 3). You have to buy the game, and then download it on Steam to access the Beta.

It will work on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, but 64-bit only. Windows 10 support will come when that gets released.

Thanks for the Info/Help. Appreciated!

If I buy it at the Store (here) CAN I still download from Stream?

Or, should I just buy it there? ...

Buy it here, and it gives you a Steam code. If you buy it on Steam, Valve takes a 30% cut.
