Reply to Stardock Releases Mercenaries, the First Expansion to Galactic Civilizations III in Press Releases (GalCiv III) GalCiv3 Forums

I'm not clear on the mechanics. Is hiring a mercenary a lifetime contract? Contracts should be able to expire, and if unrenewed, the mercenary should become available for hire once again. Do new mercenaries appear over time, or are the mercenaries at the start of the game the only mercenaries that will ever appear? Do the mercenaries have AI, or are you really just buying new ships?

[quote who="Matopicus" reply="16" id="3492988"] Please tell me it's not a 4x game for the phone... bonusXP has only made phone games... there is a huge difference between the two. Although the phone market is huge and you'd be foolish not to at least try to gain some of that market. But i'd rather see new PC games. i don't see the point in playing games on the phone when i have some many other electronics that are far better at gaming. [/quote] In Stardock&#3

[quote who="Ryat" reply="14" id="3490802"] Major stock races will yes be held at 16 but minor races will be another story. Also there are already plans for user content of major races to be easily uploaded/downloaded for ease of spread. Stardock may only give us 16, but the world will give us thousands.

Reply to GalCiv III Pre-Beta Status in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

[quote quoting="post"] One of our objectives is for people to have the option to play new "Immense" sized maps where there might be hundreds of empires playing. We have a lot of different ideas on how to make this work (few people are going to want to have to select 130 opponents to play against). We might use Steamworks Workshop to allow players to share their custom made players and once approved have automatically added as additional AI players into games where a player wa

Yes Stardock's forums are mirrored across their sites; you can view GalCiv on a light color scheme here: https://forums.stardock.com/forum/1058 I much, much prefer white on black; I find it way easier on the eyes when looking at a screen for hours a day. I'm running 1920*1080.

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire, seeking help/advice/feedback/camaraderie in Stardock Games GalCiv3 Forums

You can disable superweapons, but only by creating a mini-mod (I've searched the forums, and I don't think one exists yet). You can mod the number of allowed superweapons to be capped to any value (such as 0). Also, I don't if/how modifying your game files will affect your ability to play multiplayer. Instructions for creating such a mod are here ; see post #2. Don't forget to give GoaFan
