That does make sense. Still, it's a shame, guess we'll have to wait and see what gets added in the future.

Hello, GalCiv II had a auto-regenerate map with same settings option (via the menu or Control+N) during the first turn of the game that was a great quality of life addition. Is there something similar in GCIII that I'm missing or was it not scripted into the game?
[quote who="Crazy Dan" reply="3" id="2788678"] Oh, and please don't opt to make Elemental 2 or GalCiv3 an RTS, either. That's another disheartening trend. [/quote] Don't worry man, they'll probably be MMOs. ;) -J-
Adante, 08/10 would rage again. Unless you're serious, then I'd have to point out that Elemental having female specific armor (ie slightly curvy, like OP is suggesting and not chainmail bikini) would simply be a drop in the proverbial mysogyny ocean. -J-
[quote who="Shrap123" reply="4" id="2755328"]Dark fantasy game and Hot female battle gear are not mutually exclusive. [/quote] Frank Frazetta agrees.
[quote who="sagittary" reply="2" id="2739514"]You an use the circular arrow icon above the stat block to randomize the appearance which will also pick gender. No need to jump in and out. But yeah, it should do more or be a 0 point option. [/quote] Excellent, now I can make my Amazon armies to follow my soverign around. ^__^ -J-
I have to say, that I'm enjoying the game so far. But I agree with every single point on the OP's review, while some things have been smoothed out by 1.05, most of his salient points about magic, champions/heroes/soverigns are spot on. The default values (attribute 10) for soverigns and heroes seem to be half or a third of what you'd expect, especially in regards to attack/defense strength and HP and Essence. Essence seems almost too scarce to use to imbue my other heroes so right now I'
[quote who="joasoze" reply="11" id="2731712"]The games needs some more UI love, but I like the way this is going [/quote] Pretty much this. Some buttons and other things are too small and dialogs are somewhat obfusicated, there's also some slight tearing and slowdown while scrolling. But overall, I appear to be having enough fun with the game to put in an 8 hour marathon last night. Thanks guys, and enjoy actually having a weekend this week. -J-
[quote who="Tiberonmagnus" reply="2" id="2728091"]I actually would like it if the minor races did level up a city, but they just don't build more than a single city. Therefore, the longer you let that little guy grow, the more difficult it would be later. [/quote] I was under the impression that was what they were supposed to do in the first place... -J-
Bravo sir, bravo! -J-
Terror Stars were the closest thing I could get to a mobile armored Dyson Sphere and were a major selling point for me when I picked up GalCiv years ago. Oh well, I can deal with the idea that the Terra Novans of the Sol Dominion are working on a long term plan. First "reunification" with the Terran Alliance and then eventually amassing enough resources to strip the resournces from most neighbori
