Reply to 1.8 Mercenaries Game hangs (Torians, insane map, sandbox) in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I'll piggy back on this issue. I've experienced the same issue. Was playing a game several hundred turns in on an insane map with no mods but custom races from Steamworks. Within a few dozen turns of loading the game post-hotfix yesterday it would hang any time I tried to clear any heavily defended precursor anomaly. Thinking it was just a lost cause because it was a 1.8 game and not a 1.8-hotfix game, I tried a new game. This ga

Reply to Sorcerer King: Beyond Beta 5 in Sorcerer King Elemental Forums

Funny, most places it's the other way around. Business people rushing the developers to hurry up and finish so they can get it out the door. It's interesting that it's the opposite here. Sounds like you folks need to hire some more business people. Edit: I never answered the question. Release it whenever makes the most sense. I'm playing it now and having fun with it. /shrug

Reply to Galactic Civilizations Weekend Steam Sale in PC Gaming AshesoftheSingularity Forums

[quote who="Whindog" reply="32" id="3528884"] It was in email and on the website front page asying it would not go below $45. [/quote] I'm going to call bullshit. I went back through all my emails from Stardock back to early 2012. Not once on GC3 or any other product was there ever a statement that a price "would not go below $X". Not one. Not on any product. Moreover, why on earth would a company say that? It makes no sense.

The War of Magic stumble may have been the best thing to ever happen to Stardock Games. You guys are killing it the last few years. Really impressed. Ashes looks like the first RTS I'll buy in a long while.

Reply to #GamerGate: What do you want? in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="hedetet" reply="9" id="3497070"] I agree that seeking the opinion of like-minded people is what people want in essence. So why not, for instance, correlate user reviews on Steam with their game library and bring those who are close to yours to the fore? Not everyone has the time or desire to crawl through forums and learn what each user is like, if they overstate / understate things, etc. [/quote] NVM,.. I misread your response. I'm a dope.

[quote who="hedetet" reply="5" id="3496858"] For crowd-based platforms to replace journalists. Power to the people! [/quote] Yeah, cause this wouldn't be a disaster. Just look at how the metacritic brigades descend upon any site that gives a poor review to the flavor of the month game. Imagine some large official version of a crowd-based system, rather than just an aggregate site with a larger readership. It'd be nothing but a targeting sys

Reply to 3 questions from Stardock to you in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

1. I like when diplomacy isn't boiled down to a number. Now, I know in the background that is always the case, but the games with the best diplomacy are the ones where the relationships between races look and feel like relationships, not an ever adjusting solution to an equation designed to calculate the relationship status. If I've spent a lot of time and resources developing a bond with another empire, it should come across in the words used when spe

Anyone not using Google Authenticator at this point is taking a massive, unnecessary risk. It's trivially easy to use and, even better, it integrates with other login systems. I use it for all my Gmail accounts as well as my LastPass account and several others I'm not remembering right now. You have to put in a six digit random code off your phone the first time you log into your account on a new computer. That's it. You can check a little box that re
