Yes Yes and No respectively, afaik I have no idea actually They're not supposed to, but they currently do. You could open the diplo screen with someone and see what you can trade to them. There might be something in the Govern window as well Frankly I think it's kind of okay if they stack, the bonuses are all small +5% bonuses that pale in comparison to precursor relic bonuses, the only advantage being they have some effec

Reply to Victory in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Check all your planets to see if they can build it, I believe I remember seeing one of the pre-req techs mentioning a research building that's the base for an Ascension Gate, so the gate could very well be an upgrade of that building, whichever planet you built that on.

Reply to In-depth explanation of whats unique with each tech tree? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Biggest difference for Drengin is their factories have a military adjacency bonus in addition to the manufacturing ones. The line that leads to Planetary Invasion is also a bit different, with an awesome colony unique building that gives Military Manufacturing (this is a separate multiplier from regular manufacturing, that acts only on the % the planet sends to military as opposed to social). They've also got some different names for techs that are more brutal sounding but looked about th

Reply to Where are the beyond mortality components once the tech is researched? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

A lot of that precursor stuff is fleet bonuses, which don't show up on modules in the designer (for some lame reason). The bane is something like +15 flat to everything and +50% to everything (weapons and defenses that is) iirc.

Reply to Ocean homeworld? in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

I haven't looked in-depth at what's possible, but considering the choices of home system available in custom race creation I'd say it seems like a definite possibility to add another one in there, and then make a new, additional tech tree with the colonization changes you mention. Doing a full tech tree seems kind of a hassle though.

That's only considering the base range of 5 though right? I haven't had a long enough game for the range increase modules, but you can increase it to 7 and then 9 eventually. I'm sure you can fit more in for a single planet with that, but I don't have the time right now to check just how many is possible.

The least you can reduce this to (early game) is 34 mass, which exceeds the tiny hull's early game max capacity of 33.

I hate that AI races can demand you destroy starbases in their territory/near their planets but we can't do the same to them.

Reply to What Does Population Do? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="trims2u" reply="36" id="3551907"] (e.g. Food and Approval buildings give base number bonuses, not percentage bonuses).[/quote] Depends on the building, the Malevolent Intimidation Center for instance gives a percentage boost to Approval, with that boost increasing with adjacency. So much so that it and a regular approval building is usually enough for a planet and a bit of extra growth as well.

Reply to Specializing planets? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

That's why I love the Hive building from Thalan tech tree, its flat production can catapult a colony's production, not to mention the amazing total production adjacency bonus. It's like having a second colony capital, except BETTER. Also, I think specializing a planet into a super manufacturer is by far the easiest of the bunch, thanks to Durantium Refinieries. Give flat production, +3 adjacency bonus, and their own adjacency bonus gives +% manufacturing, and since those a

Reply to What Does Population Do? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hmm, if the approval bonus/penalty to production is additive with other production multipliers, that means Malevolent Thalans (or a custom using their tree) could basically ignore approval (from a production standpoint). My capital in my first real game with this combo had something like +250% or more total production due to Hive + Death Furnace + adjacency bonuses, on top of a slue of manufacturing bonuses, and as many Durantium Refineries as possible so that +1 production gets multiplied to

Man, even MoO2 had a better invasion screen, since at least you got to see some action. It didn't even have anything different for invasions either, just a choice of what type of invasion and then it's all numbers and seeing the results.

Reply to Large Empire Capital Bonus in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I think capital upgrades would go well with the government type tech line. Makes sense as your government develops further that the the physical enclave that it's housed in advances along with it. Not that I think upgrades for your capital are needed, but it's a neat idea nonetheless.
