Reply to Research Project and Economic Stimulus - Not worth it in ANY way in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote quoting="post"] OK, I see the point of these. Have extra manufacturing, pump it into something else. Birthing Subsidies is a godsend, and Cultural Festival, well, I'm using that to fook over the #1 power player right now, who happens to not be a warmonger (Iconian). But Research Project and Economic Stimulus are BORKED. I tried it on a planet where I had ALL Manufacturing (and yes Marigold, an approval building, as well as some fa

Reply to To those complaining about Morale - you have it all wrong. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="meteuremu" reply="9" id="3564840"] This is dumb, right now the only logical option is to completely ignore morale, get every planet you can, and crush your opponents with industry, wealth, and tech. No point even making morale buildings. I have 136 planets, and can pump out ships and troops faster than the rest of the galaxy combined. [/quote] Exactly. There ISN'T a reason to build anything besides factories and po

Idea: Stacked Buildings on One Tile in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Such as, for example, a factory and a farm on the same tile. But building on top of another building costs 5x the normal production cost compared to building it on an empty tile. Sort of makes sense if you think about it. Consequently, in the late game planets can be built up a lot more than before. Thoughts? The issue here is that currently in the late game, after you've filled up your worlds, the only thing left to build is carrier

Reply to Warning: On Larger Maps With Lots of Planets, If you Didn't Take Patriotic or Malevolence Lvl 2 You've Screwed Yourself in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

What's the point of building an approval building when you can just plop a factory there in place of it? Personally I think developers created the concept of "morale improving buildings" to confuse the player and make them play worse. They're a trap that will lead you away from the most optimal path. I know I'm not very smart, but any other explanations for why developers created the concept of "morale improving buildings" don't make sense.

Reply to Which Tech Tree is Best for Synthetic Races: Yor or Thalan? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="TurielD" reply="1" id="3564620"] Hmm, that's an interesting one. They'd basically not be able to grow your population until you can capture pop with other planets, so you'd have to send colonizers with 0.1 pop to each planet. If you take Pioneering for a bit of pop and later the 5 loaded transports you're over 20bilion - technically enough to hold 200 worlds. For the rest, you'd have to captur

Reply to Warning: On Larger Maps With Lots of Planets, If you Didn't Take Patriotic or Malevolence Lvl 2 You've Screwed Yourself in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The issue is in the late game the -25% production and -25% growth from bad morale is more than cancelled by the +100% bonus from the extra factory after accounting for the adjacency bonuses. Patriotic in the early game allows colony spam without having to worry about morale. In the early game the -25% from bad morale is actually a big deal and Patriotic can avoid it. Also, I would like to point out that Colonizers is OUTRIGHT better than Engineering. The reason is

Reply to Planet Management in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Planet management is very simple: Build one hospital (upgrades to fertility center) and one to two farms and one food distribution on each planet. The rest of the planet should be filled with factories and/or power plants and/or production buildings. Trade for harmony crystals. For larger maps pick up Patriotic and/or Malevolence Level 2 (free approval upon conquest). All other alternatives are inefficient. &nbsp

Which Tech Tree is Best for Synthetic Races: Yor or Thalan? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The reason I'm asking is because Thalan tech tree provides Hives and the Gaia Vortex. Both of which provide big boosts to base production thereby avoiding the "I have no population and thus no production" problem that all synthetic races have in the early game. Thalan tech line won't provide the Spark of Life path. On the other hand you get better early game factories, and the AWESOME Hives tech (which gives a +4 to production REGARDLESS of what your population on

Reply to How do you play the Yor early game? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote quoting="post"] I tried playing the Yor recently, and found their first 50 or so turns to be stupidly hard. The production buildings seem to be only a third as good as the basic factory and I cant seem to get enough population to start colonizing efficiently. Any Idea what I would be doing wrong?

It's the way the LEP system works. The problem is LEP takes morale points away from the base pool. So if you have +20 morale on your planets from starbase and buildings, but have 100 planets, your morale will be exactly ZERO even if you have +600% morale boost, because 0*6=0. [EDIT: Wait a second. Is this right? I wouldn't know because I'm good at math and so I ALWAYS take Patriotic or Malevolence level 2 and so I don't pa
