Camera Issue in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Hello, I have found one annoying camera issue when I am trying to rotate the camera by pressing mouse wheel. If I do that in the lower half of the screen and then move the mouse to the left, screen move to the right. But if I do the same in the upper half of the screen, my screen move to the left (So the other way arround). Also I would appreciate if you could make this optional for X and Y axis. As I like to customize how my camera reacts to the X and Y movemen

Reply to AI coding, I can’t even begin to express how excited I am in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

All of this sounds really great. Maybe even bit too much ambitious. How will it work, if AI will be programmed to take advantage of different computers in MP, or Virtualization if one do not have internet connection or play single player? I can already hear people being worried about internet aspect of the game. For me personaly, if it makes AI better, I am all for it, but I live in a country where internet connection is not an issue. However considering the fa

Reply to Stick with Endless Space or Get Civ5? in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

Civ 5 with both expansions is really great game. Much better then it used to at release. Too bad, that you can not use mods in MP and AI in multiplayer do not contact you like in SP. Those are only two problems for me with it. It is really great. I could never get into endless space. And I have it aswell. It did not feel like a game to me, for some reasons. Could not stick with it. Pandora does looks good. Havent played it, but f

[quote who="wuphonsreach" reply="33" id="3422187"] My only concern with having to talk to the "cloud" to get ship designs for the AI is to make sure that it is tolerant of faults in the network stack, such as still letting you play even if the network is dropping 30-40% packets. A lot of consumer networks are notorious for failing partially rather then completely where you will have sustained periods of 5-30% packet los

Reply to System Requirement Checking Tool in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

If your PC is quiete old, then you need to find out, if you have DX10 or DX11 GPU. If not, then you can not run gal civ 3. Also, you need to have 64bit windows. Which is not as big deal, as you can simply install it. I think if your PC is older then 3 or 4 years, you might run into problems.

Reply to Refitting of ships in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I understand where you comming from, if you are looking for more realistic gameplay. But you always have to weight cons and pros. This could lead to some heavy micromanagment of units which might not be fun in the end. I think, as long as unit is within your own empire influence, it would be nice compromise. Very often people have ideas and features, which sounds realistic to them, but they are not so fun ingame. And for me personaly, fun is more important then realistic game.

Reply to Some Random inside GalCiv III talk in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

I did pre order elemental one year before it was released, and one of the reasons I did that, was because it was supposed to have Multiplayer. It never happened, and game was mediocre at best on release. It is much better now, but still no MP. Only thing I really want is working MP. I do not need any special features. I want it to be exactly as SP, but with my friends. I hope it will be working fine, and hope there will be option to play simultaneously</

I do not like this post at all. What you are saying is completely wrong, and stupid. Age of wonders, was great and wonderfull game. It did have great music, atmosphere, alot of different races, and loads of flavour. I do rate it as one of the best, if not best in TBS. It was not deepest, but it was great to play and it had very good MP. You are judging AI of game which is 10 years old, things were very different back then. And its not even fair, to judge new games based on somet

Reply to Friday Night Poll: Would you pay a dollar for multiplayer in Fallen Enchantress? in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I do not understand why people who do not want to play MP vote no. Question is not, do you want to play MP or not? But If you want MP, would you be willing to pay a dollar for it? I would and I would like it very much. No special modes, no different rules. Just make it work, and make it easy for people to play together. No OOS. No crashes. Allow modding for MP. Other than that keep gameplay same as SP.

Reply to Some concerns. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Yes, but that is what makes game interesting. You explore, expand, till you can. And then go to war with AI with what you have got. You do not run Q forever, you do not clean monster lairs forever. That what makes every game unique and different, that you do not have everything. You can try different settings for the map, or make it bigger, also I am sure they will improve map generation further and add more interesting stuff. Also random spawning or respawning stuff is

Reply to Some concerns. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Now I actually do not agree with this. I do not want anything to spawn randomly. that was a big issue in WOM. Unless there is certain event, or dissaster or whatever. There is enough to do on the map, and when you actually explore most of it, you have got AI to compete with. You are not there to fight with neutrals all the time. There should be time when the game shift focus from exploring and gathering, to heavy wars with AI.

Reply to [Suggestion] Let units 'path' through cities in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I have already mentioned this. Garisoning should be manual. You should be able to garison maximum 9 units (one group) for city defense, either based on research or buldings in the city (better idea). And other units should be able walk over the city. One issue this can cause is, that you can actually hide units inside city, and know that noone can attack them unless they attack the city. However, trying to hide give you no benefits, other then not to die for a whi

Yes, this was an issue in WOM too. And it really pissed me off. I hope they will fix it so it works like in windows. When you actually grab it, you can move cursor wherever you like on the screen as long as you hold the button it will move up and down depending on cursor position.

I for one like that cities grow bigger, I do enjoy this feature, but I agree that buildings are hard to distinquish. I do not want them to get rid of this system. I think what they need to do is, to not penalize random placement. I already wrote one post how to change it, so players are not forced to make spider cities to be able reach certain resources etc... The only thing which they have to do is to eliminate disadvantages. After that, everyone can use auto pla

Reply to [Comment] I don't like the building placement system in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I would keep city building as it is and just fixed folowing: - You have to manually garison units in the city. Only one group can be garrisoned there (or 9 units max, depending on research). If you take out your units they should appear on the same spot where you garrisoned them. - Allow movement over the city. - Spread influence from city center. New building should not affect it. This way, you can make city which will be big, but you can have it
