Reply to Did I miss where trading planets and starbases is no longer possible? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

This needs to be brought back at least in a limited form. When another civilization creates a colony on a planet in a system where I have a core world, I should have immediate options other than war. Negotiating for the planet is best. Influence was always my least liked part of this game and waiting dozen of turns and creating cultural starbases to take over a minor colony is tiresome.

Also it would be even cooler if I could pin a small window like that on the map screen I could minimize or remove if desired. Also allow a small movable window for my advisors. I want to keep them open on my map screen without having to close them to see my fleets. In other words I want the ability to clutter my screen with usable information in small boxes I want to always see without clicking somewhere distracting from my immersion to see it.

Reply to Auto End Turn in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

I looked at key binding and didnt see anything that could cause that nor did I change any keys. Everything is default. Happens every turn and has had devastating consequences for my game. Most recently I moved an unprotected new transport ship from a colony to its max movement, two hexes away from a planet I had under siege. I intended to break off two of my besieging ships from my fleet to protect it after my transport moved as its not easily evident where a ship's fin

Auto End Turn in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

Ok this Auto End Turn garbage after I've moved all my ships has to go away. When I want my turn to end I'll press the button. After I move my fleets I want to manage the other aspects of my empire such as double checking the map for anything I may need to address, rush building ships, queuing ships in my builder, designing new ships, and buying leaders, etc. Give me the option to turn auto end turn off.

Civilization Builder in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

In the civilization builder on the Description and Startup Screen blocks you cannot scroll down to read if you add more text than the size of the window. I added about a sentence more than was visible in the civ builder. When you start the game it does however populate and display correctly. Fixing grammatical and spelling errors is difficult when I cannot see them until I start the game, then trying to fix them blind in the civ builder when exiting is a chore. This is a twenty second

Reply to Complete turns in each sector before moving to the next sector in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="gypsy2299" reply="6" id="3883515"] This is a common problem with most if not all games. It happens in the Civ games and GC I-III as well it just is not as irritating. Many people complain that the jump from unit to unit is random, I believe that it is mostly by the order of build also.

[quote quoting="post"] I imagine the Star Control fanbase will not be encouraged to hear Stardock is suing and blocking Fred and Paul from making the next game [/quote] I believe the wider gaming community sees Paul and Fred as miserable sorry old has beens without a legal leg to stand on. Reading the email exchanges between the two parties is eye opening. Stardock gives too much undue credit and respect to Paul & Fred. F-em.

Reply to Another plea for repeating projects on planets in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

If you select the project and instead of double clicking on it, click the build project button a hundred times as fast as you can, you can queue the project. Maybe it only works on massive maps when the computer is working slower though. Thats all I play and I can queue them this way. Try it.

Reply to Nations too powerfull af startup in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hello Volare, no, there is not a bug. But there is a large learning curve. I recommend dropping the AI down a notch until you have a better grasp of the mechanics and are able to formulate a competitive strategy. Strategies differ. I only play Godlike, and in the early rush for colonies I rush build my shipyard first turn from my homeworld and then rush build a light colonyship I designed from that shipyard. After selecting your starting ship, Press and hold the

Reply to A question about Custom Components in Ship Designer in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

Templates are for ship designs minus components, which as I understand the word component means the following; engines, armaments, defenses, sensors, etc. Their placement is saved if you select it as a design. Templates are for the architectural aspect of the ship only. Now if you are having an issue with a custom architectural ship part, that is a different story.

Reply to Remove map restriction in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="mortili" reply="20" id="3717108"] ships are actually more a problem of cpu (pathfinding), [/quote] Seems like that could be worked around as well. No reason to pathfind the precise route of a ship/fleet beyond two sectors of its movement ability per turn and it's final destination sector or two, substituting the middle of it's route with a sector route instead of precise hex until it moves closer.

Reply to Remove map restriction in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

What is the largest consumer of the processor and RAM on a ludicrous or insane map? Is it not influence being calculated for all the thousands of tiles and for all the players? Why not nerf influence on these massive maps, as that's only part of the game. Severely restrict it to x tiles from it's source. I want even more massive maps than you have made and dont give a hoot about influence. Turn it completely off for all I care.
