Comparison to GalCiv3? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I've watched some video clips and read some topics in the forum, but what are some major differences from GavCiv3? It looks more refined and smoother!! Although it has been a little bit since I last played galciv3, I feel like there aren't too many differences from what the new version looks like. I don't mean it in a bad way!!! And I like how the zone have been added, that is pretty major! But what else? I asked about dual monitor support during in a live dev call during alph

Ah, maybe that is the part that I forgot. I looked back on the email, and it doesn't say. Likely, it is the standard version I assume, as after taxes, it comes to $42.39. All good, never hurts to ask. I live only a couple hours from their office, in Michigan, happy to support local, such a fun game!!!

GalCiv3 - Founder Edition in Stardock Games Stardock.net Forums

This is a bit random, but I just remembered that I purchased the Founder's Edition for GalCiv3. Didn't that include free future DLC's/Expansions? Or am I not remembering it correctly? I think i've bought all but the latest two DLC's on Steam(Villains of Star Control and World's in Crisis). I'm not looking for a refund, but I was just thinking about it, and wondered why I've been paying for them... LOL My laptop came with a 256gb M.2 and I finally(after two years) added an 870 EVO 1tb

Wardell Day Specials? in Stardock Games GalCiv3 Forums

I did a search for "frogboy" to see what posts come up regarding tips or advice for GalCiv3. During that search I found a post titled, "Wardell day". This year is there going to be anything specially released for the day (June 24th)? Maybe a one of a kind GalCiv3 ship? haha

Reply to New game by Sid Meier - Starships in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

I was just about to post something about this game, then i saw it was already posted on here. I saw this write up on Engadget. http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/19/sid-meiers-starships/ I use to play those types of games a lot when Age of Empires was still around. C&C, Empire Earth, Star Wars Galactic Battle Grounds were also fun! But i never really cared for the Sid Meier games. I'm waiting for a game that y

Reply to Dev Stream Today (Friday, August 15th) at Noon Pacific, 3pm EST in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

Maybe this is a little too dark or complicated... But with the create your own race feature, could you plant a race onto your own planet? For instance, if you played as the Terran, could you get to a level of research where your scientists can create a race, in which you can plant onto a un-colonized planet? That way that race could live on a planet you are unable to terraform or grow their empire on a planet you don't want to have to take care of yourself, but they would still use your t

Reply to Dev Stream Today (Friday, August 15th) at Noon Pacific, 3pm EST in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

Maybe this has already been brought up in the past, but it it just occurred to me. Will there be any setting for second screen support? Rather than have an extra wide view, can you use one monitor for navigation and view what all is happening in the map, then have be able to use the second monitor as a command screen that you can always have open. A statistic like page with notifications, functions, etc... Just a thought... Hope I explained that alright and it makes sense...

Reply to Even more Frogboy feedback in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

I'm in West Michigan and my buddy went to Mich Tech in Hougton, MI. All of Michigan is cold right now, but the UP is pretty hardcore! I really like that he posts these notes in the vault for us to also read. I can only imagine how nerve recking it is going to be to release this in Alpha and have people think the game isn't up to par, so they spread bad news and the game get bad publicity for it... Only a matter of time until one person does it... :-( Those notes do hel

Sins of a Solar Empire Rebelion in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

I read on a few forums that people have found 66% off coupons on Steam to get GalCiv2. So I was looking for a coupon for Sins Rebelion. I already have Trinity, so I don't really want to pay full price ($40) for Rebellion.... But I would purchase some of the DLC's as they are pretty cheap and look cool. Can anyone explain to me what "cards" are on Steam? I'm new to it... I was googling for coupon codes, but evidently that doesn't work... lol I saw some posts about 66% o

Reply to Planetary invasion in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I would love to see a Command & Conquer style of planetary invasion! Anyone ever play A Bridge Too Far for Win 95/98? Even something simple like that! Depending on how many troops you have in your transports and what your research level is, you can manually go in and invade the city. You would be able to try taking over a building, but if the troops are too heavy, then you could always blow it up, in which you would lose having that building if your invasion was successful! I can't th

Reply to Founders Elite Really Worth It? in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

Thank you for all of the input everyone! I already bought into the regular founders deal. So upgrading is only $60... But I'm not too excited about the Alpha access, since i don't have that much time at the moment to go through and play enough to find things that need to be worked on. I feel Alpha is more of a duty to help make the game better, rather than viewing it as an opportunity to play the game early... With the history of releases from previous 32-bit GalCiv ga

Founders Elite Really Worth It? in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

I just read through all of the Databanks material and it stated "Due to the expected longevity of Galactic Civilizations III, the new engine is strictly 64-bit and DirectX 11. This is to allow the game to continue to be improved and expanded well into the future.". So my question is, how worth it will it be to order the Elite package? Would i really be saving that much money from purchasing the updates individually? Besides the ease of use with simply downloading the newest update whe

Game play requests in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I know this is probably pretty late in the game to request new changes, but I do have a few ideas. As I am playing GalCiv2 more, there are more things that I am finding. I hope i can offer a different point of view on some stuff since i am still a new player to the game... One thing that I'd like in GalCiv3 is the option to liberate planets, rather than just try to invade them and take them over. If a minor civilization gets taken over, have the option to liberate them/sav

thank you so much! i guess i didn't know that the game was that in depth and that option to bribe others was possible. thats pretty sweet! so lets say my max population is 16b. then i should remove some of the buildings on my planets that increase the population growth around 12 or 14b, right? or do i not want to build buildings that increase my population growth? Birth of the Federation didn't have a penalty for max growth. i actually wanted to max my population so it
