Not sure why, but I just found out about this. So, I just downloaded the beta and will get to it as time and my obsession with GC3 allow. Thanks again to everybody at Stardock for your continuing attention to your games and your fans. This is so very cool. Thanks!
I hunt down weak monsters. It feels weak and cowardly, but it keeps me alive while I grow. I keep my heroes together in one army until I have enough troops built to have a sovereign with troops and an army with both heroes and troops. I work my way up with that first army to having a Medium army rating. I beeline to Drills to have a bigger army size. Then, I should be able to clear out a space safe enough to put a city. I try to keep the borders from expand
I would buy an expansion, definitely.
I am not one for unit mods, etc. I have just moved to trying Children of Storm and am impressed with that, but still have my old reluctance. Things like this make me seriously rethink that reluctance. This is really great looking art work. It is not the kind of sovereign I would normally play, but this would tempt me greatly. Wow, what a look and concept.
I want to gratefully awknowledge these spelling corrections. Good attention to detail!
New sovereigns versus all the other good stuff in this Mod? No problem making that trade-off. I will wait until Stardock catches up Heavenfall. [e digicons]:D[/e]
Bleeding Edge by Thomas Pynchon Serious weirdness by a master of the form.
I like the early access to the game. It isn't "fun", just as promised, but it is very interesting to see the stages. I don't have the mindset to do the same critiques you are getting from GalCiv3 forums, but I pipe in now and then. That makes me feel like part of the creation, which is subtle but significant. I really couldn't resist the lifetime bundle for GalCiv3. That was probably the biggest attraction. Naming a star was act
I checked my Steam screen and I have the same beta listing you do and my game screen says 1.5. I don't think there is a beta 1.6 yet.
[quote who="Borg999" reply="33" id="3424301"] Second, I didn't bash anyone, I was simply conveying the economic realities of business. [/quote] You didn't say anything nasty. You just refused to say anything nice. If you do not realize how much of a passive aggresive attack that is, then you have an opportunity to learn from the reactions you get. Please pay attention t
I noticed this when using a tamed Wolf as a scout to reveal the map. My Wolf has 5 movement. If I move my Wolf one step at a time, the revealed map shows for each step. I get a sort of thick column of map reveal. If I click 5 tiles away, the Wolf moves 5 tiles, and then the map reveals from that position. None of the interim steps are revealed. My Wolf stops looking where she's going just because she's running
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="31" id="3413730"] What is it about people who think a first person shooter that maxes out at 64 units is more CPU demanding than a game with maps 100x as large and has 10x as many units in them?[/quote] Because the first person shooter looks busier. Everything is all moving at once conveying an easily immersible environment full of eye candy and gratifying response. If my LH map moved around that much people would be impress
Sit back a bit! You're gonna fry your eyeballs! To the original post, I have a 24 inch screen and the game looks great.
That's all good. I just learned about the TAB key.
[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="53" id="3385578"] Well, I'll toss another nut into the mix. I play a pirated version. Kicker is I've also bought the game + expansion + DLC content because I truly do believe in making sure developers get their money for there hard work and effort. Reason: The pirated version allows me to bypass the crap known only as 'steam'. Does that make me a thief for not playing with the right 'bits' ?[/quote]
downloaded Don't expect to hear from me soon. I'm suddenly busy.
Can you raze a city when you capture it? I play defensively. The one time I ended up invading others, I found myself swamped by unhappiness due to number of cities.
Who else is on board?!?!?! We've been sitting here, money in hand, waiting for you! Welcome aboard. Got any DLC on you?
Little things.... The selected unit pathing display should not be there when I am hovering over a button or element of the UI When I select a city, I should always have a left/right arrow to scroll between cities. If you were really good, the darn arrows would not jump and down just because the build lists are different. I have my mouse over the arrows and would love to scroll two cities over. Nope, the arrows moved out from under me. E
I am not upset about them, and I do love gags and gag items to a point. I did just get them in a game, though, and did find it immersion breaking. I can just go ahead and sell them if I want. That's not a problem, but yeah I can understand how jarring it would be to see them on an opponent. Not that I pay that much attention to opponent look other than "That looks neat." However, once I noticed, it might get hard to un-notice. Ah well,
When something goes wrong, I'm the first to admit it, The first to admit it, and the last one to know. Well, I'm thirteenth to admit, but that will have to do.
I like it for the same reasons you dislike it. A random event changes the entire game. It improves the replay value for me. Games have individual flavor. I don't mind that it is out of my control. In fact, it improves the game for me that there are factors out of my control. Learning to adjust to or exploit those factors is part of the game and the satisfaction. Not that I am great at that, but it is fun trying.
As a lower level player barely handling the tactical battle as is, I shudder in fear at the possibility of actual enemy summons. Yikes! But, yeah, there have been no summons in any of my games either and that doesn't feel right now that you mention it.
Options Save Game There is a grey box under the words "SAVE GAME". Click in there and type your filename. Click Save. The grey box does not have an automatic cursor displayed in it and is not necessarily obvious as a text entry location. That may be the source of your confusion. Also, a CTRL-S will create a quicksave, which will show up along with the autosaves.
It is my impression that this learn-from-the-players sequence is what happened with GalCiv 2. Good player techniques were observed, countered, stolen or emulated. Since the AI is not really an intelligence, but only a set of algorithms for playing the game, clever and aware algorithms lead to clever and aware seeming AI. We really don't have the capacity to create an AI yet, as part of a game or otherwise, but we can create a convincing illusion for those with a willing
