- I never build my own ship designs - I never watch battles - I spend the entire game zoomed out to the max (icons) Am I missing a lot here and anything that might improve the quality of my play (I currently get owned by the AI on Gifted). Thanks! Ed
Thanks Naselus and Andros for your replies - some helpful and good thoughts there. I never watch battles so how can I know what weapons my opponent is using?
Hi fellow GC3 lovers, Just wondering about the following: - Is there any point to weapons specialisation? Isn't it better to build ships that have a good mix of all the weapons and defences? - Related to the above: if you do specialise in weapons and find the AI is using techs that beat your ships, it would take many many turns to research the techs you need and then pump out the new designs. By which time the AI has beat you back. Another reason not to specialise?
Thanks very much guys, that was useful.

I'm more than occupied enough with the vanilla incarnation. There's plenty to do and learn there. I see no need to mod anything yet. I will say though I have yet to suffer a massive-scale AI invasion, depite it declaring war on me all the time...
Hi Guys, Just some things I'm wondering about this game: - Does building more factories on planets that have shipyards build your ships faster? Or is it better simply to up your empire-wide manufacturing level? - I guess what I'm asking is: what is the point of factories and do you need more than one per planet? - How can factions that are out of range discover you? And why do they dec
Many thanks - I have tried the scenario now. It's good - but I'm a bit disappointed it doesn't have the nearest stars to us as neighbours - where are Alpha Centauri and Barnard's Star, for example? They should be close to Earth.
Hi StarDock, Just want to report the following: - "Milky Way" map is apparently missing from the DLC Map Pack - 1.1.12.0: planet list icon issue, planet that has orbital ship defence shows a yellow icon instead of a green one Cheers!
Many thanks, guys. I will try out your advice and come back in the unlikely event I have any problems.
The part where you have to liberate Earth from the Drengin hordes. Playing on Normal difficulty. The Drengin is rated about 800 civ points higher than me and has at least one fleet of over 4000 hit points. No way I can beat it, I don't think, with the resources I started the scenario with. I have colonized two planets and taken one Drengin colony. Any tips on how to quickly and easily win this one? At the moment it looks like I am resigned to knocking out l

Third this.
Yes, it doesn't explain all that much concerning the mechanics and numbers, but it's something :)
"...typo's..." Irony? :Þ

Yeah, I hope so too. I am confident most of the issues these folks are talking about will get fixed and probably soon, too.
Are you the Arumba who did the Crusader Kings II vids on YouTube? If so, respect.
:( Still apparently selling well though :)
I also noticed this issue from many beta games.
Bumping this post as it answers what many folks have been asking!
GalCiv2 had this, but so far, GalCiv3 does not. Many people have asked for it though.

Thanks!
1) Is there a way to see how popular GalCiv3 is on Steam? E.g. how many folks are playing it, and, especially, how many units have sold? And more generally about Steam: 2) Is there a way to be automatically notified when your Wishlisted games go on sale/Special? Thanks!
Thanks guys, I will see if the next scenario is harder.

Is it just me or is it just the level I am playing on (Normal)? But in scenario 1, the Drengin are almost entirely passive. Once you have cleared out their first two fleets, they don't attack you anymore but just sit back on their planets and bases, so you unmolested and easily gain resources and colonies and build up/rebuild your massive fleet and simply stomp their remaining fleets one by one. They don't attack your starbases. They don't attempt to attack your co
