Reply to Playing pirates in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'd like the idea of NPC pirates. After each skirmish, a number of destroyed ships are added to the pirates' forces instead of being removed from the map. A small pirate force could realistically grow rapidly if left unchecked. Complete pirate dominance over space would make for an interesting game. Pirates would originate by rebelling from existing empires. They don't have planets, just ships. Their ethical alignment would always be opposite of the leaning of faction they

Reply to Heroes in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="20" id="3407463"] Heroes in GalCiv3 would be an interesting addition. It was partially done in GalCiv2 to a minor extent with the experience points that let a ship level up after battles. The ship was essentially the hero in that case. Taking that idea to the commander of the ship would be cool. You could then take the commander from the small or medium class to a large class ship and he'd retain the experience.[/quote] G

Reply to Tactical combat. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="160" id="3407157"] Actually in space you are moving through vacuum so it is very different from moving through atmosphere. Large ships move so slowly because they displace large amounts of water. Small boats move much faster because they can skim over the top of the water, and fighters move even faster because they fly through the air. None of that happens in space. The only thing that sets a space ships speed is is thrust to mass ratio. Huge capital ships

Reply to Replacing the Tech Trade mechanic in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="chuck1es" reply="12" id="3406653"] The AI never really knew what to do with the ships I'd give it/'em. I'd supplement their war machine to prop 'em up and 'bout 85% of the time the ships would just sit there. And, yes, I would throw currency their way to cover the cost of having 'em.[/quote] As far as the AI is concerned, it doesn't really care where the ships are stationed. If they are at war, though, I believe they do move them.

Reply to Alignment System and Random Events in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="SirCabbage" reply="7" id="3405985"] When I say more I more mean increasing the number of "cards" in the events deck. For example, say the game had 30 "Cards" which could be drawn for each event, I would want 300 "cards", not a random event each turn. Just more variety, more stories, more morale dilemmas. ect. Even if the outcome is the same as another "card", I love the storys. [/quote] I like this idea - not necessarily more fr

I think it would be neat if the "hero" characters could be hired for a regular salary, or defect if another empire offers sufficiently more. Just so that they aren't permanently associated with one empire. Recruited: Grand Admiral Thrawn Bonuses: Influence +100 Tactics +700 Popularity -100

Reply to Politics: More Governments/Political Parties in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Cyong_" reply="13" id="3405328"] I just want a random event to occur either to the civilization or a colony that causes the political powers at play to 'Shut Down the Government'. Since Stardock seems to have fun embedding jokes in to their dialogues, just figured this would be a nice joke to have. [/quote] I was just thinking about that yesterday! Though that might be old news by release... or not.

[quote who="18Zulukiller" reply="46" id="3405241"] Right I've just bought the elite founders edition. So when do i get to name my star and what sort of restrictions do you have on the name ?

Lack of Clarity in the Store in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It seems I'm not the only one confused by this. Neither the Founder's Edition or the Founder's Elite Edition says - explicitly or implicitly - that you actually purchase Galactic Civilizations III. Read the store page carefully before you continue: https://www.galciv3.com/store The Founder's Edition looks you're buying beta access and a $10 coupon towards the full game.

Reply to How many times have ya'll watched the trailer? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="3" id="3404842"] Interesting factoid: The music themes in GalCiv III (including the trailer) are being done by the same person who did the music for Civilization IV and V. The ambient music is being done by the same person as Galactic Civilizations II.[/quote] Thanks for the good news. Music is overlooked by developers in a lot of games.
