Reply to Don't like the single flagship in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

I just now got the game. However, I played GC1-3. GC3 used to try and limit the number of survey ships with admin points, but did a poor job at it because there were plenty of ways to boost your admin. GC4 has SO many events that it makes sense to try and throttle that. What I especially like are the survey ships that can fight, so that it forces you to make a game decision whether to send the Enterprise out exploring or to join the fleet and fight. Can't

Reply to GC IV - A very indepth look in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

toOn this point: My biggest concern is the game generates the same feeling I had in GCIII (which I ultimately lost interest in). The beginning is very fun, and then the middle becomes hollow, empty, and most of all... tedious. There are lots of techs and lots of ships and lots different resources and lots of XYZ....but I still don't know why I'm doing anything. Note that

One thing that I have believed all along: viewing the real-time battles would be really cool--IF I could glean some helpful information for how to win future battles from it. You had fast ships, slow ships, long range weapons, short range weapons, assault ships, capital ships, support ships.... If the quick battle is the exact same play-by-play as the viewed battles and I could glean something from viewing it--as if I was viewing robot wars--that would def

I like randomness. The strategy of managing fog of war and the unknown. Just not when the game is all randomness and no strategy. By the way, upcoming quantum computers promise true randomness. We have a means of producing true randomness in nature now, and actually it DOES exist. It's just, at our present stage of quantum physics research, we are presently unable to produce a true 50/50 distribution of 1's and 0's.

Disclaimer: I am not early access. I just recently went back to Galciv3 to see if the patch made it more fun. It did, slightly. I have played the series ever since Galciv1 PC, and Sins. I must comment to this: [quote] i think that people really have more fun when they're able to pick how their civilization works instead of relying on luck to give

[quote who="delve-miller" reply="68" id="3774107"] We are good in Florida. no symptoms. Me and my husband are both under 65 and healthy (knock on wood), We have no $$ issues so far, pantry stocked. Our trip to Alaska is put on hold, we cancelled our yearly BBQ and Jim is a World wide wrestling fan, [/quote] The trip to Alaska doesn't bother me at all, unless it's a cruise ship--it's the trip back to Florida again that's the problem.

The only problem I see with a mere dozens of people lying on beaches when it is upwards of 30 and higher outside is, it's harder to limit access to the beach to only a few people vs. just closing them for everybody. I was going to go to the beach last week and we would have been the only ones there, but decided against it for unrelated reasons.

I've got a client who is in biotech. Hope to get more ventilators out there. A lot of this societal shutdown is throwing roadblocks our way, when we need to be working round-the-clock on overdrive. And frankly, whatever they ask for, they should get it.

Here's what crap: China and South Korea have already figured it out. China bought that knowledge at a very high price. Resultingly China has been able to largely contain the virus (and more specifically, the mortality rate) to just the Wuhan province. Since then, China has been helping Italy (albeit Italy is still not doing too well). South Korea has NOT instituted extreme quarantine measures. In fact, they lifted them. Their number of cases has go

I definitely have opinions on the rona, and they are not completely out of alignment with yours, but depending on how SD feels that could be considered political. MHO: rona is the talk of the town. Let it be. Might as well have it here, too, and draw visitors.

Coronavirus discussion. Is that allowed? I thought it relevant to this board, since good ole self-quarantine has me renewing my interest in the latest Galciv3. I previously didn't care as much about the latest updates, since I had moved on to other things, but I care now. Thanks Stardock. Work from home, you provide us something valuable that we need: an escape. When we get sucked in to an addictive game, we end up quarantining ourselves anyw

If I must pick a worst, and there are no limits as to what games are eligible, then I have to give my "worst" booby prize to the Forum Ban game on the Everything Else forum here. That one's pretty bad.

I have to give my best award to Civ5. It's kind of hard to come up with a worst game without some kind of limits as to what games are eligible for this category. It's not too difficult to come up with a game that segfaults, regularly. I could write one in 15 minutes.

Reply to Say a prayer for California in The Environment GalCiv3 Forums

If you are not religious, then yes, of course prayers for California is ineffectual. I am religious, but I am willing to team up with anyone who is not in order to take action. Heck, if Calexit goes through, I will move there.
