Good suggestions. Torpedoes could be shorter range than missiles, and similar to energy weapons. Effected by ecm and shields could treat them like energy weapons. Whereas missiles have guidance systems, that can be disrupted by ecm. With point defense and shields (to a lesser effect), that would give 3 defenses against missiles.

Nice post. I agree with everything you wrote. I've always hated the Rock- Paper- Scissors system of GC. That was always the true weakness of the game to me, not lack of tactical combat. GC4 has so far went even more basic than GC3. This is not a good thing. Having the Battle Viewer back is step in the right direction. I understand this is an empire building game first and foremost. And that combat is secondary, but it doesn't have to be a bad system. It's not MoO2, ISG, nor DW. I woul

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="7" id="3840860"] Quoting Basilisk83, reply 6 ^ nice, i thought missiles were too op. the main thing i would recommend for tactical combat is a button that says "retreat." push it and your remaining forces try to leave the battle. this would be perfect for both when you realize the bat

Reply to GalCiv IV Dev Journal #8 - Rise of the Commanders in GalCiv IV Dev Journals GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="trancejeremy1" reply="4" id="3837818"] It's a nice idea, but in practice it's not that big a deal because there aren't that many and only the survey ones ever get better. 3 of them aren't very good to begin with, so they become obsolete very quickly.

[quote who="Bamdorf" reply="1" id="3839337"] I think almost everybody will agree with this. The pattern is that these "exclusivity" agreements last one year, and then things are wide open. As far as Stardock is concerned, they are a small developer, and making their stuff available in the least expensive way possible probably explains the use of EPIC to start out. Oh well. The best thing that could happen is that the game is wildly popular (my choice)

Focus on Education: Bugged? in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

I finally get a new culture point, only my fourth, and I spent it on Focus on Education under Innovation. It's supposed to give 3 free scientist citizens. I can't find them on any of my core planets. My homeworld had 7/15 population before I chose where to spend the point, still 7/15, no scientist citizens. My research levels didn't change either. I even advanced turns, to see if it was delayed.

That worked thank you! Only problem is that my 183 turn v0.77b saved game doesn't have them in the tech tree. Shows up with a new start though. I would continue, but there are 8 Class 19+ Oceanic worlds in my sector, a few near my home system. Oh and a Precursor World that's useless. Frustration, a week down the drain, but that's Alpha and Beta testing.

Oceanic Worlds and Precursor Worlds? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

In my current playthrough I have a lot of oceanic worlds, and one precursor world. I can't colonize them without the proper techs (ie Oceanic Worlds and Precursor Worlds). But I can't seem to find these techs on the tech tree? Do they have to be unlocked? And how? Does anybody know? At 18 turns, and can't figure it out.

Interstellar Space: Genesis in PC Gaming Stardock.net Forums

Wow this new game has my full attention at the moment. I was watching GalCiv4 playthroughs from Explominate on YouTube, when I found a playthrough for this game in his library. Don't get me wrong I still love the GalCiv series. I will go back to playing GC4's Alpha, because it has a lot of potential. But ISG is a true successor to MoO2. It is very much like it, but way more advanced. The game also takes some inspiration from the GC series. It's what MoO3 should of been.
