Reply to Playing as synthetic without using the Yor tech tree? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

It does look like you have to do it. There do seem to be a few oversights here. 1. Synthetic should give a few basic technologies - not necessarily as good as the Yor tech tree. 2. Perhaps the Yor tech tree should be better too for non-synthetics if the option is enabled. 3. Synthetic/non-synthetic races should only ask for the tech they can benefit from.

As indicated, I'd like to see repair converted to percentages. The other thing to see would be: 1. As suggested, a starbase module for repairs 2. A planetary improvement around repairs

Reply to Large Empire Penalty WAD? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="JorgenCAB" reply="20" id="3546519"] I don't like abilities such as Patriotic that get rid of ALL penalties like that. Patriotic should only receive half the penalty or something. Abilities like that can be abused to a very high degree, pretty much the same problem as the Engineering trait before that was changed. [/quote] I think it's fine as is. You want something to be good enough to be "worth gett

Playing as synthetic without using the Yor tech tree? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Is it a good idea to play the game as synthetic while not using the Yor tech tree? Would you be at a huge disadvantage?

Repair is too slow in this game in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I think that repair is way too slow - for large ships, it can take hundreds (I'm not exaggerating) of turns to repair a ship. Recommendations: Make repair a percentage over time, like say, 2% away in enemy space, 3% at home, and 10% near a friendly planet or starbase, allowing ships to quickly repair. The Iconians would need their "repair on the go" abilities buffed.

Reply to AI feedback in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I would recommend contrary to the posts above, letting the AI cheat. The AI should get some production and money bonuses. It is struggling with colony management and getting its empire set up quickly. The other issue as raised is that the AI needs to be building up their production buildings right away.

Reply to [eMod][LH] AI Plus in LH Modding GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="rossanderson48" reply="76" id="3543965"] Modders are freeloaders that use DEVELOPERS design and tools to modify a game. They are hardly professionals and most likely do NOT test what they have made many times over or use others to test the BALANCE issues of what they have done. Graphic modders are another thing and I have no qualm with them. But, those that change number around and core things that are possible to change I will always be leary of and so should everyone else.&

Does anyone have a big chart of the major differences between the racial tech trees? Just interested to see which parts of which races excel at what.

Reply to Should the entire starbase system be changed into something less micro-intensive? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

One problem with multiple modules is that you still need to spam when upgrading parts - you still have to manage all of the constructors. It's less intensive, but still can be micro heavy.

Reply to Should the entire starbase system be changed into something less micro-intensive? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Another option may be to allow building another constructor to be the option to "hurry" production and normal starbases to again, be like planets in that you queue the modules you want.

Reply to Should the entire starbase system be changed into something less micro-intensive? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Franco fx" reply="10" id="3536230"] I still want more and better ways to deal with constructor and star bases, but I have to admit that the more I use the send constructor system the better I like it. I have learned that any constructor that I build must be used to build a new starbase/mine. Then I order the constructors needed to upgrade and forget it. It might not get built as quick as I would have built it but with a little patience it gets done without all the previous

Reply to [MOD] Autumn Twilight - v2.3 Release in Modding GalCiv3 Forums

I suspect that a bigger file in this day and age is probably not a big problem. On the other hand there is the advantage of standardization if the community mod is used. On that note, I think that most people have probably moved on to GC3 beta by now, so activity is probably much lower than in the past.

Should the entire starbase system be changed into something less micro-intensive? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I know that this is not the only thread on this, but I think that way too much time is spent on starbase construction. I'd argue there's more time being spent on starbases than on planet management and ship construction combined. It gets to the point where it detracts from the enjoyability of the game. What is needed is a simpler system. Otherwise, late game in large maps ends up being bogged down on starbase management. I propose somethin

Reply to Beta 5 Culture Flips Still Overpowered in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

As it stands, it's too easy to flip over enemy planets. It doesn't provoke the necessary AI response. The AI does not respond with its own culture or something else like a massive military response after a certain point. The issue is that it's possible to win a culture victory without really trying - you have to suppress culture for other types really. The first problem is that the AI intelligence ne

That does seem like another option - peaceful assimilation. Age of Wonders 3 does have a similar mechanism, although I wish there was more depth to it.

Steam Workshop - would it be possible for this game? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Would it be possible to give this game some degree of Steam Workshop integration so that it is easier to mod? This could be an expansion idea as well. It would make installing/uninstalling the mods a lot easier and a lot more seamless than just XML files.
