Reply to Beta 3E in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Pretty good build, although I have noticed a few bugs and quirks. The sliders on the economic screen don't seem to be working correctly all the time. At one stage in my game I wanted to change my military spending from 33% to 0% but for some unknown reason when my slider was at 0%, my revenue per turn went down even furthur. Another bug I noticed was when I was happily doing some researching for a few turns when one of the minor races decided to declare war on me. So within a

Reply to MOO3 on December 4 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Does anyone else *hate* the UI in MOO3? Or am I the only one? The look of plain, no textured, light blue screens/buttons makes it look very un-appealing to me. If anything, it looks like a website rather than a game. I wish they would've taken the UI from MOO2 and just enhanced it. In my opinion, there's definetly one thing Galciv has over MOO3 and thats the UI :)

Beta3: Minor bugs and impressions in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well done guys, this game is pretty neat. One of the things I'm most impressed upon is the GUI. It looks much better compared to MOO3 (least I think it does). Just a query tho, the background music during the galactic screen, did you compose that yourself? Because it sounds identical to the background music from Star Control 2. Few bugs that I've noticed: (1) The research screen with the 'Trade' tech has a few spelling errors in the future tech bit on the bottom right. eg,

Reply to Checking your files, do you have all you need? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Jurgen, Well I think its too soon to make a decision on whether or not this game was worth buying. I think it would be more fitting to make that judgement when the game has finished. I do however agree with you in that currently this game is way to basic in the ship building department. I mean, its like you research some advanced weapon technology and all you get is +10 to combat? Whoopie :) Personally I would prefer the level of ship building which is in MOO2 or SE4. <

Reply to Brain storming with the beta testers... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

1) Would be very nice to have purely for improving the presentation of the game. But this feature shouldn't be absolutely essential. I think what you have now is great and if adding a rotating 3d planet only takes a few days then sure, put it in. 2) I think this is probably the least importent of your other 4 suggestions. Sure this would be nice but it wouldn't add to the game the same effect that a rotating 3d planet would. If you know what I mean... What you have currently with the sh

Beta 1C - Three little bugs in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

1) If you have one ship on a tile and another ship next to it on a different tile, it reports both tile stack as having 2 units. I've seen this happen many times but it happens more often when I have a ship next to the tile where the ships from the planet are launched to. For example, A BC (A - planet, B the launched ship from the planet, C another ship) Both tile stack B and C will report 2. 2) I dunno if this is meant to happen but if you wipe out a race

Sorry for responding so late but by the time I getup (about 8am) its already very late in America so just bare with me :) Frogboy, About research queuing... what i actually mean by that is the ability to queue currently available research projects. Then maybe when one of those projects allows you to branch off into other areas the game might play a sound file that says something like "New research projects available". Or maybe have a little dialog box that comes up saying that

Beta 1 Impressions and Suggestions in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi all, After having only played the beta for about 1.5hrs I'd like to offer some suggestions for future beta builds. Here are just some points I noted down on paper: - The ability to view what each enemy planet is building, from space, should (in my opinon) be taken out of the game. It unbalances the game by giving the enemy too much information on each planet. - The ability to queue research projects should be put into the game. It kinda sucks having to manu
