Reply to Percentage of Founder Stars in a normal game in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="1" id="3468592"]The star name file in GC2 has many replications. After sorting the list and pruning out the duplications I found the file only has about 500 unique names.[/quote] Any running Python 2.7.5 or similar? I made a script that gives you a rundown of your stars. You may need to update the filepath on line 1.

Reply to GalCiv III beta pushed to late Summer in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="satoru1" reply="11" id="3468080"][...] I also think it makes a bit more sense, given that the Steam hub is STILL being invaded by every troll with a soap box decrying Early Access and the price. I'm sure tehy'd love nothign more than to see the beta drop and say "see they're lying to you the game is totally incomplete, thieves, scam artists, valve needs to pull this game!" Timelines are good an all. But in the end you have to do what's best for the

Reply to On the topic of World destroyers and Genocide in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I want this, or something like it. Perhaps I dont want to invade my opponents' planets; maybe I just want to lay waste. It would be nice if there were different types of super weapons. In order of degree of devastation: Olde fashioned explosive bombardment (destroys/reduces current pop and buildings) Radiation bombardment (current and future pop) Nuclear bombardment (current and future pop and buildings) Star poisoning (for those really

Reply to Oxide Games Dan Baker Talks About the Next Generation of Graphic APIs in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

Windows 8's market share has ben declining steadily since December (source: statcounter). Windows 7 is refusing to drop. I don't know whose brilliant idea it was to put a gesture-based OS on a mouse-based platform, but Microsoft is going to need to up its game or else create an ever-larger oppourtunity for competitors.

Reply to Please put in more autosaves. in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Strongly agree! Arbitrarily setting the minimum to two turns is one turn too high. Please make it like GalCiv II and let us plug in the number we want! For me, having an autosave minimum that is too high ( cough Sins cough ) takes the fun out of the game because I have to obsessively save manually every minute for fear of losing progress.

Reply to My 2 cents of having politics in the game in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I can tell you put a lot of thought into this, but as a Galactic Dictator I'm not sure why I should want a constitution. I don't want votes, power checks, or regulations regarding my terror star program, military build-up, or the subsequent instantaneous annihilation of a minor race.

Reply to Thalans in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

What I don't understand is how the Thalans destroyed the Terror Star plans. Out of the hundreds of thousands of people that must have been involved in a project with such massive scope, no one had a backup copy on their thumb drive?

Reply to Joke feature ideas in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Relevant enough to post here. :) Long ago, powerful AAA games fought a desperate civil war across the industry. The noble 4X games, and the evil FPSs fought to within inches of final victory for the FPSs. And then suddenly, they dropped in quality. Their departure opened the door to the younger companies to make their way into the industry, but their progress was slow, for their ability to distribute great distances was lim
