unfortunatly the game has problems running on lower end systems, and yeah, 1920x1080 is the minimum. my system is 8gb memory, decent vid card, and gc4 still runs worse than all my other games, including games that require an internet connection. the minimum system requirements show that this system should be able to run it just fine, and it starts out ok, but by like turn 50 or so it starts getting really, really laggy, and every mouse movement i make takes 1-2 secs before the game moves the

oh, and stuff like giving destroyers "Attack + 200% when fighting fighter" might be a little over-powered. u shouldnt just need to throw in a few of those into your fleet and never have to worry about tiny ships again, cause then no one would want to use tiny ships cause they have way too big of a weakness. I love the idea of smaller ships having more defense vs larger, slower ships. but they're already weak and easy to pick off. designing a class of ship that deals +200% dmg vs them just see

there's some really good changes in there, very nice :) i esp like the combat changes and the research changes. the random research roll was very frustrating for many ppl, and could be pretty bad if u get very unlucky, but this system where u can pick what u want but get discounts for breakthroughs should solve that problem while still giving the random feel you were going for, very nice. a couple quick thoughts on the combat...

i remember there being a lot of complaints about this. not a huge fan myself too. I still think that the best solution would be to have you able to pick the research you want, but have randomized available research options that are discounted that you can choose if you want to, rather than being forced to choose them. this allows players who want to to pick the path they want, but also gives ppl the option to do the randomized "switch it up research" that they tried to do with this game in or

i would love to see a combat upgrade :) i have actually stopped playing due to 2 main reasons... 1. The Combat. i threw out a lot of ideas back in beta for improving it, and i really think it still needs a revamp. it really seems like it was ignored by the devs for the most part, and really needs to be revisited. they even barely changed anything after I collected a bunch of feedback from lots of beta testers that pointed out that no one was using beams because of the huge imbalanc

Reply to Laser beam is too weak not worth to invest on when compare with Kinetic in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

i agree, the very slight production decrease for beams isnt as good as the bonuses to kinetic or missiles. esp when u can already produce a ship in 1 turn with kinetic or missile parts instead, which seems to happen quite a bit.

[quote who="MrStarTrek" reply="93" id="3853836"] Starting to notice many players are not filling out the description sections of their ship design and civ uploads. Players downloading have no information about the ship design or civ is about and what it does or can do. GC3 Workshop is full of this with ship designs and Civs without descriptions.

Reply to How is this faction working, that uses promethium to grow in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

just so u know, by the time they get the promethion to equal up the most of the other races in terms of pop growth, they'll already be way behind. the best strategy with them is to be very aggressive with them and make up for their slow growth rate by conquering other civ's planets. the promethion healing ability their commander ships have is a great way to use their extra promethion too btw.

Reply to Scaling defense of ships to prevent swarm attacks. in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

yeah i think that the best way to deal with this is to have "trample" dmg that carries over to the next target. a fleet should be able to destroy multiple tiny ships in a round even with 1 weapon type. smaller ships could have higher dodge and accuracy to help even things out too. then a valid strategy for taking out lots of tiny ships could be to increase your accuracy so that you can hit smaller ships more easily, which i think makes total sense. and give beams higher accuracy

Reply to Attack numbers are not evenly distributed in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

well it looks like it's about 20x more likely to be 1 than 2... so my guess is it's generating some random number with 1 decimal place, such as 0.1, 0.2, 1.1, 1.2, etc. and then it's rounding everything to 1, except for when u get an exact 2. so 0.1-1.9 (19 times out of 20) it rounds to 1, and on the 1/20 chance u get an exact 2 you'll actually do 2 dmg. hopefully this is not working as intended and they'll fix it to a more even distribution

Reply to What Is It That I Do Not Get About Attack Values? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="3" id="3850641"] There is definitely something wrong there. The attack value shouldn’t exceed the max attack. I wonder if there’s some fleet buff that is letting it roll a higher number. [/quote] no, it's not a fleet buff. it's been reported by several ppl for a while... whatever the defense roll is, the attack roll will always be 1 higher so it can always do 1 dmg. happens with small, single ship vs ship battles all the time.</p
