Reply to Rebellion - 0% in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

It's in Crusade / fully patched via steam. And it even affects one of my influence worlds. Here's the story. Influenza was taken over by the enemy. I had a serious legion crisis. So I spammed a bunch of starbases to try and make it flip. EVERY one of the starbases around it are influence. It didn't flip. The transport eventually made it over and took over. I left a legion there. And the planet is an influence based one with lot

Rebellion - 0% in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Several of my colonies which were invaded retain a "0% in rebellion" notice. Is this a bug?

Reply to Suddenly I see the homeworld location of all other players in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hehe, PalaceGuardian. I have the same experience. I learned a LOT watching someone's youtube vids playing Crusades on Godlike. Every turn, he didn't miss a thing. He had perfect timing of building, perfect placement of citizens. He was amazing. After watching about 4 hours of his play, I learned quite a few things and now I'm in the middle of my first game on normal where I have a chance of winning. * Watch for asteroids - have the cash to get them <

Oh, man, to have a delete button. I built eyes of the universe. It grants that.

Suddenly I see the homeworld location of all other players in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

What could cause me to suddenly see the location of all of the other player homeworlds? I would *love* to have the ability to have a log of everything I do done automagically. I just noticed that suddenly I know the location of all of the homeworlds.

Reply to What happens to wasted production? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Thank you. I presume this applies to Galciv3 base edition and not to the expansion pack. This is where the "wheel" of production spending still applies. I'm shocked Brad removed it after it was a hallmark of the game for what? 2 decades?

What happens to wasted production? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Before someone accuses me of not looking or RTFMing, I have. All I find are links to outdated versions of the software and even then no answer. So, I have 4 colonies. Each one produces 10 raw production. I'm set to spend all of that production on ships/social projects. Then I set the ship/social meter to 50/50. I've noticed each planet then gets 5 production for social projects even if there is no ship building going on. What happens to the other 5 units?

Linux / wine for Galciv 2? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hello all. I am wanting to buy a copy of GalCIV 2 on steam. Is there any reason to think it won't run if i run stardock under wine? I'd like to know before i shell out the cash. I have seen it run on the same machine with an old cd I have. I've lost the key though. And I want to play with metaverse so I'm itching to get updates and what not for the entire series. And hell, its worth buying a 2nd time anyway. I routinely buy musician's CD's 2 a

Reply to Losing Games? Coming back? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Oh, you are so right. Those comeback games are divine. Checkmating with a pawn, for instance. *grin* Yes, that happened for me once. As far as galciv goes, oh yea its worth trying some diplomatic tricks and what not. I have always been a gamer who can still have fun losing. This was one of those sessions. I did lose. The AI built up a counter to my defenses and started protecting the military resource base I kept blowing up. Then, boom, all

Losing Games? Coming back? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I am looking for some advice on dealing with another form of gamer guilt and narcissistic coping. The problem: I HATE it when I hit that point that i realize I am probably going to lose unless I can pull some magik out of thin air and beat the AI back (I play on 'tough' since some say the AI doesn't cheat and doesn't get disadvantages at that point). For the record, I can NEVER it seems come back from a losing position. I am not exactly the best stra
