Yes, sometimes finding other people can be problematic, but that's not exactly a game issue, it's a person issue. There are plenty of us who work full time (I work 12 hour shifts, (3/12's) and still make the effort. I promise, playing against people is worth the effort. Not even referring to GC3 specifically- AI is generally garbage, in nearly every game. That's why AI difficulties are always setup to provide massive bonuses to the AI. It's the only w

Reply to Xeno factory improvement upgrades strange behaviour in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="eviator" reply="6" id="3556024"] Actually you can't. It may seem from the UI that you can, but if you try to build on the blank space, the Xeno Factory icon still only goes over the upgradable factory. At least that's what happened when I tried it last week. [/quote] It's also what happened when I tried a few minutes ago, attempting to reproduce the OP's issue. Are you doing anything else to generate this bug, OP?

Reply to Xeno factory improvement upgrades strange behaviour in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Except if you click that "upgrade" for building, it should auto-queue onto the existing building, and you won't be given the chance to place a new one. It's normal for upgrades to show up in the building queue list. Xeno is an upgrade to existing factories. You always have to build the basic factory first. Mega factories upgrade xeno factories.

[quote who="Nathan E" reply="2" id="3550109"] The odd thing is all the reviews that highly rate this game. The AI has serious deficiencies still. [/quote] My only real complaint about this is the fact that, from the perspective of someone who predominantly plays 4X/Strategy games against living people and not AI, I've always felt the AI in *every game* since the 80's has had serious deficiencies, and has essentially never improved. Does this one have -worse-

Governing settings not carrying over between save/load for clients in multiplayer in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I'm not entirely sure if this is a glitch or just something that may have been overlooked, but I've been playing a match nightly with a friend, and we've noticed that while my govern settings for planets remains the same from when we quit and load the next day, my friend has to completely redo all of his governing settings for all of his planets with each reload, as if his settings aren't being saved. After a little testing, it seems the 'host' Govern set

I too would like a code if someone has a spare one they won't be using. I was following this game forever but recently got layed off (literally a week before release) before I could buy it. Now I'm on what you'd call a tight budget =_= Back to work though. So, anyone? :D I'd really appreciate it.

Guys, I ordered mine online too, but I think the point of the contest is to show the product at a retail chain.. because it's a pain for good indy companies to get into brick and mortar stores. That's why I went down to Fry's to take the pic, despite having bought it online.

[quote] Cause you can sit back and build a nice defense, then build up a strike force and then kick some butt. That's the general idea. [/quote] Ok, humor me. So you're saying is, turtling should be a valid tactic, because it delays the game, and ends up in the same result? You build an army and attack the opponent? Turtling has always struck me as bad game design. This isn't Stronghold. You win by killing your opponent, not an economic or point victory. <

Out of curiosity, why is turtling considered a "valid tactic" ? Can you win the game any other way than killing your opponent?

Nah, it's pretty typical for an RTS launch, Spartan. I've been playing them since Dune, and despite my hope that this game CLEARLY STATING it's a "4X" game and people would realize that, apparently there will always be the people who don't.
