Beta 6 Bugs in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

This is from a game that was started in Beta 5.3, don't know if this happens with new games too: Planets, suns, asteroid fields, resources and starbases are hardly visible anymore when zoomed out - they are black now, don't feature the faction color.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III Launches May 14 in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

Am I supposed to start a new game after each update? I'm playing on a decent machine (i5-3570K, 16 GB RAM, 780GTX, Samsung 850 pro SSD, Win8.1), insane map size and get a CTD after only one turn every time I load the game. This game was started around Beta 5 and had a couple of updates since, that is why I'm asking. So - everything looking good if it wasn't for stability! &nb

Reply to Dawn of War II E3 Trailer in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Must be the most awesome trailer I've ever seen. Check out [link="http://community.dawnofwar2.com/ "]WWW Link[/link] if you wanna learn more. Oh and about the Beta, one of Relic's staff posted on the forums that their promise about the Beta for Soulstorm-buyers is still valid. So looking forward to this game.

Reply to My economy just suxs! in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Just look around the forum, especially in the strategy-section there are so many threads dedicated to the economy issue. What I do, and that works pretty much for every civ (even for the Yor, in this case you have to try and obtain eco-techs via tech-trading early on) is to focus my research on economy, morale, population growth, research and (for civs like the Terrans) diplomacy. Plus, I spam as many colony ships as possible. I don't recommend neglecting your colony expansion just bec

Reply to TA 1.96 Civs won't expand in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I am experiencing this issue, too. Difficulty is set to painful, the in-game stats-menu says the AI is "gifted", yet the civs don't expand beyond their home system. Running TA 1.96

Reply to Twilight of the Arnor 1.95 now available in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

To all people having trouble finding the update on SDC: Check which server you are connected to. If it is US-2, try switching to server US-1. (Tools -> settings -> Internet). This did the trick for me. Updating to TotA 1.95 as we speak.

Cheat codes for TA? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I really hate to ask for cheat codes and believe me I never thought about needing them for GalCiv at all, but I have found myself in an extremely annoying situation. A couple of turns ago the Terrans were able to acquire a Precursor-Ranger featuring ridiculously high weapon and armor stats which I will never be able to vanquish given the annoying technology-inflation feature so many are complaining about. What Iam wondering about in the first place is why those AI-

Reply to steep increase in the cost of technologies in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I'm also chiming in with the crowd on this issue and respectfully request the awesome developers of GalCivII to consider adjusting technology inflation to more moderate levels. I really enjoy the game and prefer playing in slow-tech mode, but the way technology is handled currently isn't acceptable.

Reply to Trading Strats in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Apart from the economic point of view, trade routes improve relations to other races so if you are a player not relying exclusively on warmongering, trade routes pay off in any case. On an side-note: I have been playing the recent betas and noticed that I could not build the Galactic Privateer (most useful building for trade-focussed people) any more, now was this building completely removed from the game or is it just limited to certain races and I just happenend not to play one of the

Reply to Oh, what the hell is this?? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I also go like "aww not again..." whenever the Jagged Knife hits home but it's not because the game is ruined for me but for the fact that mopping up the aftermath of the event can get somewhat tedious, especially with abundant habitable planets/systems. Thing is you have to lead kind of a civil war to win back the colonies you just lost which isn't that hard considering you keep all of your ships. Just focus your economy on cranking out Invasion transports and recapture your own colon

Reply to Game no longer fun - keep on running out of money in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I mostly play on "tough" - difficulty and never find it too hard to get one's economy going. Research or trade eco-techs early on, build a few eco-buildings and try to upgrade them to xeno banks asap which shouldn't take too long. Refrain from building anything that is too expensive for your economy to maintain - like research buildings, Thalan factories etc. Usually as soon as I start trading with other civs, my cash problems are a thing from the past. It's paramount to acquire leading-edge eco

Reply to Race Balancing Issues in TA in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I had similiar experiences with the Yor. The economy almost killed me, until I managed to trade some eco techs with other races (banks & stock exchanges saved my day). I consider myself a fairly seasoned player, but the Yor gave me the hardest time so far. Still, this game being a product provided by the company entertaining the best customer relations in the industry, it's only going to be a matter of time till balance gets fixed.

Reply to Mega Event List *Spoiler* in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Never encountered the Peacekeepers neither and oh how I'd love to kick their tree-hugging asses... My style of gaming doesn't seem to trigger certain events, I only got the Pirates once and it was a blast ridding the galaxy of this scourge. I would certainly be happy if I, as a player, had more influence on which mega events to happen in my games. What about an event that is designed like a galactic-wide invasion from a superior xenos race, which automatically has all surviving GalCiv-r

Reply to Disappearing End Turn Button!!! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

AWWW NOES, I'm playing the probably most thrilling game ever (TA Beta 3a, immense map, Iconians) battling it out with the Arceans and my end-turn button keeps disappearing no matter what. The Arceans are vaporizing one of my ships and - guess what, button gone, game over. Can't even select ships or planets anymore, in this very turn the game anything but totally freezes. Btw I made sure there are no ships on autopilot except for my freighters. Anybody here to give some advice? I mailed

Reply to TA beta 2A - Concerning anomalies... in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Nobody has ever stated nerfing anomalies should be a priority - actually the discussion started because I made a mistake in identifying a bug that wasn't one in the first place. GalenEvil and I just happened to agree on the fact that unlike before, anomalies nowadays tend to be spammed on the map throughout the game (and I always set them to occasional) when, according to our opinion, it would suffice if there were plenty of anomalies in early game to help players survive until everyon
