Hello Its been years GalCiv3 in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

Hello , its been years . Is Horemvore and any of the old gang still around ? I never went with retribution because none of my old mods would work . I retreated to 3.1 for the same reason , apparently none of the mods showed in the 3.2 version for some lack of an XML definition(if that makes sense) -- I played a very old game before arable land was a thing and found it much better in that one regard , that the AI made much better planets not having to bother with that mechanic or require

Reply to Why is the AI so crap at fighting wars? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

yes , I think the challenge to win is the thing we signed on for , not an easy ride , the heck with letting the human win , the computer should be out to annihilate whenever possible , I like trying to fend off massive assaults, cant recall the last time I lost , (not bragging ), I dont know how the recent versions play , but the AI seems to randomly put improvements with little thought and ignoring bonus squares or overemphasizing their importance, when I take a planet , I always wind up des

I think MAINTENANCE cost for ships is causing the AI to huddle on its planets instead of attacking en masse , I dont know how to eliminate these costs to free up the AI to attack ..yet .. played a months long game ( OC ) and the Borg would not declare war for 70 moves into the game (and still did not ) ... thought it was odd at best

Reply to enum error in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

Hi Horem, I used the enum section but the recall promotion is greyed out (in game) on CELEBRITY even when there are no requirements except the citizen is on a planet.The Spider WORKS . I tried this on celebrity ( after adding "CelebrityRecall" to enum ) with greying out result. hmmm[e digicons]:S[/e] I discovered that I could only accomplish one recall type with one enum - this made it exclusive. So now if I can , I need to know where the hardcode is

Hello Horem !! Fixed some wonkey values with Beam and Missile weapons. Fixed Military Acadamy not granting a free garrision. Reduced Legion cost to 3 Durantium. oddly I made the exact same changes :) amongst others , I added free garrisons of 2 for civ capital and 1 when colonizing , upgrading cities - no more cheap invasions no more unblockable weapons - reduced to h

Reply to Hypergates in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="rap33042" reply="22" id="3745559"] When I first heard about hyperlanes, I thought they would work along the lines of wormholes. That is, they would have one entry point and one exit point. That is not how they were implemented -- you can enter a hyperlane at any point along its path -- like a road and not a tunnel. I wouldn't mind expending the resources to guard my gates but I certainly don't want to station ships all along its path to protect it from what I
