Why are we given the answers to the responses before we decide. these are all two dimensional giving bonus and other points. What's the point seriously. Minimal impact on game play , 2-d story and options that are recycled. These haven't changed at from Galciv 2
would be nice if there was a professional writer completely outside of game development. A more dramatic idea would be to hire even one of the writers from star trek TNG, x files, a real professional that can work with the developers. I wish this were done more. Classic example of game writing gone bad, Chris Metzen of Blizzaed entertainment. He was okay back in the day, now it's easy to build a case he's a disease. I hope this game has quality writing and plot, like a novel the NYT w

Tridus, paying interest on your debt is very important for your credit score, look up credit utilization ratio on investopedia, not to be off topic Continue the discussion, I wrote this post pretty late after some pre-Christmas beers so don't look for a perfect argument, extrapolate. Thanks gentlemen. I've followed the industry for a very long time, but if business practices have changed and these types of deals are routine then you could say Stardock ha
Hi everyone, I am surprised by the lack of any criticism or discussion of the Founders program thus far, considering most of us, the dedicated fan base myself included has made the commitment. Even so, I find myself uncomfortable with the decision, even if I am happy with it. Why so? It is highly unusual for a gaming company to charge full retail price for content before it is released a year ahead. Stardock has tried to cre

No reinvention of the diplomacy screen? And for military alliances, what about coordinated attacks against specific planets possibly in conditioned sequence to make it actually mean something.
Nice going to preorder
I like the StarCraft 3 race analogy. Having 3 distinct races has a longer replay value than 8 races that border on the same. Conceivably, this could be adapted to Galactic Civilizations 3 by having 3 sets of races that operate on similar mechanics but each race is distinct. No easy solution and not sure if this could translate to this franchise.;
I disagree, because ultimately 99 planetary building choices that repeats itself every turn is displacing real gameplay, and distracts from the broader picture of whatever is happening
This makes sense. How could a supporter of the GAL2 system possibly defend it over this?
Good idea, it would be easy to distinguish core worlds through a visible UI option. there could be additional strategic incentives like morale based on planet status and defenses like faster ship movements in core world planetary space
I'm thrusting my Machiavellian hips reading this thread. As far as "allied movements" through your own geopolitical territory, it is far more likely that US military aircraft fly through Kazakhstan's airspace than Canada's. Just because you are allied with the Archaens it does not seem realistic to allow their ships through your airspace because you are both major powers who ultimately, are using each other to advance the ultimate objective of total victory for your race. So maybe
Hi all, irredentism and nationalism is an important part of human political behavior from current day South America to Nazi Germany. For one, I would argue it is so natural to player psychology to recognize former possessions as uniquely special targets that to face an AI deaf to its importance instills confusion and lessens immersion. AI should respond to human psychology, anything else looks artificial and

Hi, I am hoping for clarification whether a Surface 2 RT will be able to play Galactic Civilizations III. Clearly, the system specs alone can, but whether the operating system will be supported is my main question. I will only have the Surface 2 RT for the next few years while I am abroad, so I am really hoping. Hope Brad is listening, and if it is not supported, I am curious from the technical standpoint for why. Thanks,
I had 20 bugs written down on a piece of paper but I have no clue where it went but I do remember this bug On Event screens where it shows a factions homeplanet sometimes the picture is missing the ring that's in the planet, I believe it was the Yor
yea I agree, they shouldn't be to focused on them if they know they can't destroy it they should at least give up
I'm not sure if it's just me-- it could be but here's what I got: In the latest beta we now have 3k, which stops me from getting even close to debt in most cases. But in order to stay competitve on research and even stay out of debt and expand my empire, I'm finding it much more impossible to build up a military till half of my techs (besides war) are researched. I'm finding this the same for my enemies, so it's very possible I'm right. I
Yea that'd be War Rooms, Yea and this is happening to me and giving me a huge boost. When ever I have a long tech I always say I'll just research it because I know I'll get the creativity to finish it
that makes sooo much sense thanks a lot! @ approval rating response
When ever I click on a planet it lists ascension crystal's decription for some reason and on one game as Thalan I had something like 86, 1, 1 for approval rating on my 3 planets and it showed an 82 approval rating whole
Arceans are my favorite race, (with their 2 noodely appendages lol) and I agree they have problems, but right now a lot of the races do. I hope they can fix that early game economy slump every1 is talking about
as the Iconians...: 1. Xeno Engineering: Should say "Can't" not "Can" 2. In the trade screen: a. Yor Collective image is bugged b. Displays the wrong number (Like if I input 1,200 it will show 120) 3. I noticed the research center is worse than the iconian default building but you have to research it.
Well I can't recall but in today's game the Torians voted for doom stars, while everybody else voted no I don't see them voting with intelligence ever
You're in the middle of a United Planets meeting in DA (Dark Avatar). There's 4 evil races, 4 good races. Here's the question, should evil races be limited in their trade routes? But when the results come in half of the evil vote no, while everybody else votes yes. Why does the AI do poor decision making like this? Another example I see a lot: Pick the Civilization that deserves 10 percent increase in economy for 3 turns. People just randomly vote. The only smart thing I've seen is
