Looking good. Good to have more traits for variety purposes. I think Korath vs Festron would turn interesting. Maybe they could add a "hover over" kind of tip for star colors.

Tidbits regarding Galacticiv IV in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

Hello, I'm searching the game files to see what I can get out of it and I have come up with some great finds for my purposes. Will post some info I found on the game periodically, when it seems interesting. It might be of use to those updating the wiki, so you can post your finds too if you'd like. Mine so far: -The Galactic Senate image has seats for 416 civs. I counted one segment that had 104 ones, so it seems to have 4 of them and it should be symmetrical, since they usual

Rolls limitations: Can you increase or lift them alltogether? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

I had this problem yesterday. I knew portions of it existed before. Like, when ACGPT searches for leader pics there are certain rolls for it. "More pics like this one" has rolls. And "More pics" has rolls. So I found this pic yesterday and on the same roll there was another one I liked. So I chosen the other one and thought, "yeah, whatever I will find this one later since it get's repetitive"... And then I didn't. And I wanted it really much. I rolled and rolled and rolled and rolled

Reply to AI generated art? How? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

The game also handles this(sending request), auto. When you search and search, there is a limit. "More pictures" and "more like this picture" eventually runs out of rolls(I estimate there are like 20-30 rolls per). So if you run out of rolls and didn't find something, probably is when it sends a request. To my understanding, the pics are already pre-generated, but hosted in Stardock's cloud or something, so you can't see them(like you know how they get a logo from the logo area but you can se

Well, imagine asking it of succesfull ways to colonize the Moon and Mars and the solar system. Also how to counter a very advanced AI/ASI and make it cooperate with us instead of perceiving us as potential adversaries. What kind of adjustments would be needed to its programming for such reasons, which laws to apply, how to compliment Asimov's Robotic ones, etc. It's like putting it to play with itself for a goal, like Brad often talks that it will be able to provide answers and

Reply to Typo? in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Most probably. I'm translating and there seems to be a huge amount of text and obviously one has to be as fast as they can on it for productivity reasons. I'm double checking as much as possible and still make such typos myself. Did you have the Slyne in your game though? Could be an AI based variant of the Slyne.

Reply to GalCiv IV: Video Dev Blog #5 - AlienGPT in GalCiv IV Dev Journals GalCiv4 Forums

First off, great job on Alien GPT and art so far. Well, imo you probably have enough artists by now so if you're looking for hiring I'd rather see people that improve the mechanics(Behavioural AI, responces, tactics, civ traits and stuff). Also maybe divert some artists to ship parts which we always need more of. There is such an abundance on leaders and such art now(though still more women, but I've read the blog where people ask what and catwomen and women apparently are top choices

It's easier in alot of the aspects. Like it doesn't require "50" different versions of the same logo and graphic(Counts for people like me who might convert over or well over 100 of them - I have about 80-100 of the older I made and more than 1000 to maybe create now). Leader screen is the same basically(I haven't made many of those, but it's somewhat easier now to make them and can seanlesly tranfer the ones I did make.

Reply to Welcome to AI talk in Artificial Intelligence GalCiv4 Forums

I've tried with DALL-E myself which initially had spectacular results but they seem to have nerfed it somewhat since(especially the ability using priorly made images to give it better direction on where to go), but I'm using other services now which are rather good at producing results. I've also used AI chat to enhance some descriptions(e.g. races/species/factions lore) and also written a fan made STAR TREK: ENT scenario with it(obviously it needs a load of work and correcting/polishing stuf

Reply to Siege a Planet in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv3 Forums

Just bought it too, so it's mostly conjecture on my behalf, but apparently Sieges can take many turns, so there could be a starbase/Military Base nearby, high planetary Defences, more ships than your Siege ships can outperform and get to the planet, or any combo of those. That's my understanding how it happens. That might change when I make my first siege ship in game though. The tutorial might explain as well.

I think its to be announced, but most certainly after the Alpha. And possibly after the Beta too. Since its only a text file, there is no real reason for it to be available prior to release.

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="1" id="3439888"] Thalans are from the future supposedly, from a parallel dimension from which they time travelled to our own(GC one, that is). But how can you witness the destruction of something and set yourself a goal to prevent it, and do what Thalans did, supposedly time travelling and orchestrating plans to create a time paradox(going back to change their future), if you haven't actually survived? I think you misread something. The

Well, the word he/she chose was "customize". So I could be wrong and there's no talk about modding there. In such a case, I suppose with time you would just want a faster game with less graphics options. But you would probably have a faster machine too, since I guess that time is not before a year from realease, or close to that. So, in such a case you still have a good performance, even without toggling graphics. Or maybe wait for a "simplified vanilla game" mod(though more possible is a

Thalans in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The race we know of as Thalans is thought to be one of the keys of the story that unfolds through each GC episode/game/expansion. However which story would that be, exactly? Supposedly we know of Draginol the Mithrilar possibly destroying the universe as is known in GC. And the Thalans are here to prevent it. I had a problem with that statement ever since I read about it. And I just realized what the problem is...it's a logical leap. Thalans are from the future supposedly, f
