Reply to Founders discussion topic: Colony control in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Zydor" reply="89" id="3439014"] The current plan is that the production wheel sets the civilization default with the ability of players to override it on a planet by planet basis. This allows players who want to micro-manage their planets to do so without forcing them to do so if they don't want to. The question is: What level of per planet tinkering do you think the game should have and why? The dilemma on this one is the varying map sizes that we all play -

Reply to Trade in Galactic Civ 3 ! in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

I'd like to see much more realistic trade, having more private sector activity and based on both form of government and ethical alignment or similar; also instead of just "continue trading" or 'embargo' there should be an intermediate TARIFF option!! i.e; - "private sector trade routes" can be 'created' as a byproduct of colonization (so if all of your colony ships come from the same homeworld, that planet actually has a 'reason' for being you

Reply to Researching Multiple Techs At Once? in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

I'd like to see research tied to the form of political economy; that's much more realistic, adds another dynamic that should be negotiable by both AI and new players, creates "optimal governments" for certain types of astrography/maps and it can't possibly be very efficient coordinating dozens or hundreds of planetoids via interstellar IPv6 haha i.e; dictator/authoritarians can only research 1 item but a Republic has 2 research items, a Democracy has 4 and a Fede

potential energy is just stored energy usually within objects with mass (particles) but not always kinetic energy is just energy in action whether is be in waveform or motor-mechanical energy of particles thermal energy is 'just' heat which is primarily sourced from energy being continuously absorbed and radiated as nuclei oscillate and extranuclear articles orbit and as all of the above collide with waves of energy from other sources (thu

an i7 is a brand, not a processor; there are i5-branded chips that are better than i7's in the desktop world and in the mobile world there are i3's better than some of them that said this game is nothing like sins sins was published but not developed by stardock and was a real-time not a turn-based strategy game (though there were some real-time aspects of galciv2) as a decade-long stardock customer i can guarantee you they'll

sumatra is great for protable but just as vulnerable as foxit, thought nothing is as bad as adobe!
