This happens when you put your cursor on a transport or a fleet with a transport and get a tool tip that shows there are legions. It can be any ship or fleet, not just yours. That information then carries over to many tool tips after that. The way to stop it is to put your cursor on any ship or fleet without a transport. This is due to a bug in the way tool tips get the information to display. It has existed since GalCiv3. I reported the problem in <a hre

[quote who="PaulLach" reply="2" id="3878162"] This is also why many of us are on these forums - we enjoy playing the game and reporting bugs so that you can make the game even better. [/quote] This is true.

This is for version 1.11.366105 I never had this problem until recently, so I think it started with version 1.11. In the Galaxy Settings screen, there are numerous choices on how often certain things appear. My choices from the previous game have always been active when I start a new game, so I rarely looked closely at them. I began noticing that the choices I made for Black Holes and Nebula were different a lot of the time. After starting numerous games and checking the setti

The modifications that PaulLach made are from this post . I tested and confirmed that the changes worked on the command ships. I did no further testing after that, which failed to show the bug about other ships being able to capture ships. My "fix" seems to cause a bug, which means it's not as good a fix as I thought. I just tested my "fix" again to get more information. I started with the survey sh

Many of the xml files are not used by the game. To get the game to load faster, it uses pre-compiled files. Modifying a file like you did is useless. The solution is to use a mod. The game will read the files in the mod and use the information in them to replace the information the game loaded from the pre-compiled files. You need to go to your Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\Mods folder. After you open it, create a folder with a name that tells you what the

I made a post about some bugs in GalCiv4 version 1.10. In it I reported some commander ships that don’t work and the solutions I found to fix them. I then decided to check all the commander ships to see if they work or not. I found a lot of problems. I have compiled all of them in a spreadsheet. It is in Open Document format, but it should be easily opened in Excel. It should open in a tab labeled Notes t

It seems reasonable to put the unwanted population on a ship, then decommission the ship to get rid of the population. My experiments show this doesn't work. The population just magically appears at your nearest colonized planet. It could be a core world or a colony. It's possible to now have a colony with more than one population. Since the population of a colony doesn't normally increase, this could still be a good way to relocate races you don't want, but I do

[quote who="gypsy2299" reply="1" id="3876533"] There is/was a way to ban these races from the selection process however I forget exactly how Maybe if Old Spider or Publius remember it they can jump in. Be aware if the do each time the game updates you will have to redo it Unless someone is kind enough to explain how to make it a Mod. [/quote] There is no way in the game to remove a race from selection as a random race in the game. However, it can

I checked the files. There are several icons with Hyperion in the name. There are two planet improvements that use these icons, but the improvements have nothing to do with anything that seems to be Hyperion. The only other place Hyperion appears is in the description for the Resilient trait. I'm guessing Hyperion was removed from the game, but the description was not updated.

I'm sure some of each of those has been provided. The ResourcesMission_RewardAnomaly in the MissionRewardDefs.xml shows the amount can range from 0 to 2. The problem is that the display shown after the mission is completed seems to show only first digit. If the amount is 0.99 or lower, the display will show 0. The correct amount will be be added to your inventory. I remember checking this by keeping track of my inventory

I think what you are doing is a good idea. You, along with everyone else, need to be aware that some of the commander ships don't work right. I have found and reported one in the past, and I think others have also reported some that don't work. As far as I can tell, none was ever fixed. With GalCiv4 Next being worked on, I decided to check several ships I thought had problems to see if they really did and if I could find the cause or causes of the problems. I

I have found more Commander Ship problems. All of these are in MercenaryComponentDefs.xml. Festron Commander Ships Two ships claim to capture ships defeated in battle, but don’t. The Claw with 25% chance of success. Charon with 100% chance of success. I went back to GalCiv3 and the Snathi Revenge DLC to see how capturing/scavenging worked there.<img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/2

This post will report some bugs that are simple and should be easy to fix. Some of them have been reported before, but haven’t been fixed. I have fixed all of these with simple mods.

Nearly everything that appears in the game can be renamed, so I decided to see if the clusters could be renamed. They can't. I zoomed out all the way, then clicked on a cluster to select it. The name of cluster appeared in the information box at the bottom-left of the screen. When I put the cursor on the name, I got a tool tip that indicated I could click to rename the cluster. This is identical to how other things are renamed.<img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/

I decided to see if I could also get the freeze, so I downloaded the save in the link and loaded it into the game. I followed the instructions, and the game froze for me. It should be repeatable, so someone on the team should be able to find out what caused this and hopefully fix it.

This is a page turner scroller. Have you sold the movie rights yet? [e digicons]:D[/e]

My first game I had 24 opponents in a gigantic galaxy, and I had surrenders on with colonies transferring. On turn 75 or 76, I had 3 races surrender to me in 1 turn, then several more in the following few turns. My economy and happiness were ruined. The planets I received were all over the galaxy. I couldn't defend them, so my other enemies were taking them. At least that helped my economy. I quit this game. My second game was the same except coloni

The videos are in the .bk2 format. You can read about here . They offer a free tool to convert video from other formats into the older .bik format. It is possible to use videos in the older .bik format by changing the extension from .bik to .bk2. I'm not sure how stable that is.

There can be boosts to the weapon power due to techs. The screen you are using doesn't show all of the boosts. Here is a screenshot of one of my ships using the same screen you did. It shows 6 weapons with 11 attack each, but the total is 73.8. When I go back to the galaxy screen, select the ship and look at the information in the l

PaulLach, I just never have put in the effort to make use of all the features the game has. Maybe I'm just lazy. I am trying to make use of more of the features, but I still don't put that much effort into it. Answers to your questions 1. I don't use them too early because I'm never sure what to use them on. As the game progresses, I sometimes do use them. Other times I never get around to it. 2. This is one

I'm playing version 1.10.3621123 on Test. The game crashed, and I submitted the crash report several hours before this post. I think it crashed when I completed the Infinite Archive in Galactic Challenges. I'm sure it was going to be completed after I ended my turn. I am playing with some mods I made. I don't think I did anything in them that would crash the game, but what do I know? I have a save at the end of Turn 388 just before the crash that is available <a href="
