Reply to Almost every ship now needs resources. Anybody else feeling fatigued? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="ctiberius" reply="9" id="3686847"] I've been trying to play Crusade for about 12 hours now. I just realized ships require spam endless mining. WTF. Of course, the AI doesn't seem to have that limitation... The game has gone from colony micromanagement to micromanagement of hundreds of mining stations that keep getting destroyed by an AI with no seeming limit on ships, build time, resource needs, cash or, you know, mercy.

Reply to PLANETARY DEFENSES THAT MATTER? How do you feel? in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

I have seen computer controlled fleets with moves upwards of 17 or more. Not just one fleet, mind, just about every fleet. It's a real pain when the speed for my fasted fleet at the time was 11.

Reply to any advantage to smaller ships? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="adamb1011" reply="20" id="3616010"] Well, I agree for patrol ships and offensive invasion fleets. Small ships could really find a niche in key planet / starbase / shipyard defense though, where their lack of movement but superior fighting capability would make them extremely difficult to dislodge [/quote] I did this in one of my games once. Tiny hulls combined with the Hyperion Logistics allowed me to pack 64 well balanced ships around a planet for defense. That

Reply to Completing ideology achievements in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The easiest most cheat y way to the ideology achievements is to simply use the unadorned "unlock" in the console. That will give you all the ideology traits unlocking the achievements for all three ideologies. It will also give you all the technologies available as well. I guess you can always reload after you cheat the achievements though...

Reply to [1.5b] AI Has Greatly Improved Brad in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

My first thought when reading the subject title was, "Why does Brad have Artificial Intelligence, is he a cyborg or android?" My next thought was, "that reminds me of the T-shirt with 'Let's eat mom. Let's eat, mom. Commas save lives." My third thought was, "Cool. the enemy factions are 'smarter'...maybe."

It also helps if the surrender threshold wasn't randomly chosen as "never". It's ok though. The fact that they didn't surrender just delayed my victory, is all.

[quote who="Raiddinn" reply="2" id="3419086"] Just demand surrender when they are down to 1 city. They will raze it and join you without you having to draw their units out and conquer the city.[/quote] I tried that on a challenging/challenging game. No matter what I did, the enemy sovereign wouldn't not surrender to me.

[1.2][bug] Tower ZoC erased when nearby city is razed. in LH Support Elemental Forums

I have noticed, the last few games that I have played, that a tower that shares some of the same area with a city will lose that shared area if the city is razed. I have even had some towers entirely inside the ZoC of a city, and when the city was razed, the tower controlled the square it was sitting in and nothing else. However, the problem is "fixed" if I save the game and reload. I just don't want to have to save/reload every time I take a city, which I can usually manage every turn or

Reply to What is the point of manul building placement in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I tend to build cities in strategic locations to block access to the rest of my empire. That way, I only need to have a few cities loaded with armies instead of all of them. In order to block passage, I would need to snake my cities across the openings between mountains, chasms, and beaches. Those border cities are usually Fortresses as well, so the defenders have every combat advantage that I can give them.

Reply to Help me understand the math in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="tjashen" reply="15" id="3374579"] Quoting merlinme, reply 3 The way I heard initiative explained, initative is added each turn, and you get a go when your initiative reaches 100. So in other words if your initiative is double another units you get to go twice as often, which makes initiative very important. I have noticed that if you give a unit a big initiative boost, e.g. by using Haste, they quite often seem to get two moves, one

Reply to [Lore/World Question] Squares in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I googled how far a medieval army could march in a day. This was the result: This might be a little complicated but here goes. I am talking about long term marching - a couple of weeks or months in a row. There are lots of cases when an army sprinted to be a specific point in time. They are famous - just not typical. On a good (probably Roman) road, an army would be able to travel about three m

A funny thing happened on the way to the city... in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I had an odd thing happen today while playing a game. I had my sovereign and a few archers in one of my cities, playing guardians while I waited for more troops to be build. I noticed one of Gilden's champions (who is at war with me) casually stroll past my city all by herself. So, I selected my sovereign (and the archers) and attacked the enemy champion. After the battle, which I had won, my entire stack of archers and the sovereign disappeared. I noticed that I still had the "center on
