Reply to 18 moves colony ship on turn 7? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Nice work Old-Spider! If you ask me, the AIs should not get both, a base movement speed bonus and % boni. Generally, applying the % boni to things like movement which just linearly grows (unlike sensor power) is also questionable. They will probably get 100+ moves in lategame. Maybe it would be better to just increase base movement speed per difficulty and do not apply the % bonus here. I think I will lower the difficulty settings for now to avoid those kind of

Reply to 18 moves colony ship on turn 7? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Thanks for the replies, I checked my last used game settings: 11 random opponents on incredible (not genius). 18 moves seem still too much for me. I uploaded the savegame here in case it helps (custom race used).

18 moves colony ship on turn 7? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I just started a game and the colonyship of my neighbour had 18 moves per turn at the very beginning. Is it supposed to be like that on genius difficulty, is that ship available to buy from the bazaar, or is it a bug?

Reply to Xenophobic is OP in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It is not only OP, it is ridiculously OP. These boni are so much better than any other race abilities that you basically have to take it for your custom race. I started to just ignore it and not play with it (or against races using it). I would recommend to just rework it completely or nerf it to somewhere between 50% and 100%.

Try to verify your Steam GC3 game files. You can find that option in your Steam library in the GC3 properties (right click GC3 in library).

I think you might touched a nerve here, it may be the case that the "power algorithm" is quite old. An update to that could improve the AI a lot.

Reply to Ignoring trade routes and tourism in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I was used to ignore trading/tourism and the whole eco system cause I just milked the minor races for money the whole game long. Lateley I started to realize that an high amount of credits can be game chaning for diplomatic reasons and I changed my playstyle. I specialize one planet to trading (with trade capital) and reroute all my trade routes from there. This really pays off and also helps your diplomacy game. You can see

Reply to I just got owned by an AI science victory at turn 171 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Thanks for the link, I might switch back to Incredible, too. Another option is to only put one ore two godlike AIs in (using random so u dont know which one). I played a few godlike games like this, but I never was crushed that hard (so fast). I recently changed the game speed and research rate to "fast", maybe that's the reason. I guess I will switch back the research rate to normal for my next game.

I just got owned by an AI science victory at turn 171 in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hey, today I played a 9 random godlike AI immense map and thought I am in rather good shape, a few turns later (171) I was greeted by the "defeat" screen. My first suggestion is that when you lose a game - let us know who won the game! I had to dig into the replay and take over the AIs (localplayer #) to see that it was a science victory by the Torians (not 100% sure). One thing I realised in this game: <str

Hey Stardock, thanks for the ongoing support and new content for the game. I have a minor suggestion: can you add the "close menu" functionality of the escape hotkey also to the ship designer and diplomacy screen (the only two screens which you cannot close usign escape). Best regards

Feedback after a 16 h 1.61 Merc. game in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hey, I just finished a game on patch 1.61 (with the Merc. DLC) and want to share a few thoughts here: I played with all original factions and one custom faction on a gigantic map (all random) and set 3 to godlike, 3 to incredible, 3 to gifted and 2 to normal. The game evolved to a state where I was in an alliance with all parties (including minors) expect the Krynn. The Krynn were able to pump out 5k hitpoints fleets with about 3k missiles all over the map. Si

Reply to Gal Civ 3 Strategy Guide: How to Easily Win an Alliance Victory on Godlike in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Thanks for the guide, it showed me that I probably should use survey ships in a more sophisticated way than I do atm. Furthermore, I think that your strategy of using the tech advantage of godlike AIs against them by tech trading is brilliant.

It's okay to fund that by DLCS, as long as they provide quality content/improvements. That's far better then abandoning a great game. I will buy the February DLC/expansion for sure!
