Reply to Turn button get stuck in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I was running 3Z and it was fairly early on in the game on a gigantic map. The turns were processing fairly quickly, more quickly than in earlier builds. Brad had asked if I was using fleets (I was)so maybe that was the trigger. In any case, I can not duplicate the event in 3Z1. I did wait up to 5 minutes, but as it was early on in game time I did not wait longer. All game fuctions, screens, and options were available except the Turn button so I concluded that the turn had processed.

I had enabled fleets on the turn before the Turn button stuck. In 3Z I could duplicate the problem, I just opened the file in 3Z1 and the game proceeded normally.

Reply to BETA 3Z NOW AVAILABLE in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I don't know that the game is harder. I'm playing with all races set to Smart with two Evil. They do have cruisers right away, but I have traded tech for ships and so I have a sizable armada without having to build them myself. So far, the game is progressing well.

Turn button gets stuck in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have a game where the turn button gets stuck. Press the turn button, it stays in 'processing' mode and never returns to 'Turn' even though all game functions are active and availaible. Result, you can't proceed to the next turn as you don't have access to the 'Turn' button. I can get around this by saving the game and loading it again. The loaded game opens with the Turn button available.

I'd like to have a bio-defense or bio-weapons option of tech research that would allow breeding of space monsters to patrol boarders or to be set loose upon enemies to wreck havoc within their sectors. Monsters would have to be able to recognise a friend from and enemy so they wouldnt be attacking at random.

Reply to Stability in 3E in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It is more stable than previous builds over all, but I have gotten late game CTDs in the two games I have played. Always occurs late in the game, and so far is repeatable from saved games.

Reply to B2A crashes to desktop in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Issue resolved. Cari sent some missing UP issue files. Once I had installed these I was able to continue the game past 3 turns. On the forth turn the UP screen opened with a new, non-trade, issue.

I have noticed that my population graph dips after I colonize a new planet. I am guessing the graph caculates actual vs potential population somehow.

Ok, looks we have two basic points. Technological--represented by the Universal Translator, and Sociological. So, progress in the two branches of science would need to tracked. As the player’s technology improves linguistic communication improves allowing for more complex diplomacy and trade agreements. As the player progresses in the Sociological sciences other benefits would appear--enhanced trade, perhaps, as your understanding of aliens increases you are able to manufacture trade it

Reply to Similar kind of strategy game in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Agreed John, RTS has it's place, and although I sounded like a turn-based only player, I actually like some RTS especially titles from Blizzard. Anyway, a good idea, well executed no matter what the genre is worth consideration.

Reply to Another Word from the Graphics Division in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I like the idea of minor races, and especially like non-humanoid designs. I think it would be great to have a race that is so odd that initial understanding may be difficult. Perhaps, it would be an issue of a race that initially makes little sense, and eventually may or may not offer a large pay-off. This could be a plus for someone who chooses to work through diplomacy or trade. You might also then have to decide to protect your new 'friends' in hopes of a future advantage.

Turn based is definitely the way to go. I'm part of a family unit that insures that my time at the PC can be interrupted at any time for any reason. Turn based, I can get up and walk away as long as needed. Come back, play a turn, and leave again. Real Time, no way. More than once I've been playing some RTS game, and doing well. Then I get called away and return to find that years of game time have passed, and I am history.
