You can also play around with StarSystemDefs if you want to create systems that have more planets. Keep in mind planets can be dead (class 0) or (habitable) class >1. PlanetTraitsDef is where it rolls the classes with weights. There are also other xmls that effect it. Overall its a rabbit hole if you want to jump in you can control a lot.

StarClusterSizeDefs MapSizeDefs StarQuantityDefs are just some of the xmls for playing this this. They do effect how the map geneates but if you go out of bounds than it ignores your settings. It takes a ton of tinkering if you want to mod it.

Galaxy Size is how big the pie is and Sectors is how many slices. The more sectors you have the smaller the slices they will be. The largest sectors will come from singular sector game. Gigantic / Several is 9 sectors Gigantic / Many is 16 sectors Large / Many is 12 There is some RNG involved with what size sectors appear.

In regards to the issue reported. Jeff and Richard are listed in the FlavorText_StringTable.xml and UnitNamesText.xml as human male names. If your seeing it in your game then please provide a save. Soaking 100 turns and letting the game generate a number of human citizens I was not able to replicate the issue. Also, note any mods you maybe using as well as what version of the game your running and any DLC so it can be investigated.

At the very low end of difficulties the AI looses access to some tools like Executive Orders. I believe starting at normal it has access to everything.

Can check AIdefs.xml but otherwise it's in the tooltips. Genius to Incredible is a fairly large jump. I'd say incredible is a fairly good challenge for many players. Then there is a much larger leap into godlike. Many of the incredible bonuses are about 50%

1) So the problem is everyone might have their own naming convention. . My recommendation is institute it when you finish building a fleet or a ship yard. I add notes to my colony names. Sirius - m is a manufacturing world. Vega - M a manufacturing capital This "TFNav - 2D3BCa#Cr" does not read well to me. So I name a fleet 1st Invasion and I know it follows my invasion template. So I recommend just supply the names that make sense. You can rename everything includi

Launch NVidia control panel. Click Manage 3D settings On the Global Settings tab find Max Frame Rate and set it to the refresh rate of your monitor. However, this might not be the only cause of heat on your PC. GalCiv series in general likely taxes your CPU far harder than most games you might play. Might want to consider getting a laptop fan to rest your laptop on because they typically dont have amazing cooling.

Featured Classes is where your Favorite ships goes. The default behavior is any ship you create will be added here. You can go to Game Options > Gameplay > uncheck Auto favorite created ships if you dont like this feature.

Yeah if you ever see a large number of monsters it's usually due to the AI feeding ships to the monsters. I exploit this mechanic all the time. When spawning a monster you have to keep in mind the monsters go last on turn order. If you put the monster right next to the AI ship the AI will generally be able to get away. But if you lead the ship your trying to attack the monster will generally attack it.

I'm not sure what your trying to point out here. If you create a new ship type it will populate the default name. If you take the steps to upgrade a design it will retain the name of the design. It's not really a bug. Also, you can rename the ship how you feel. Much of this is from the classification of ships that has been mostly retired in GC4 Supernova. In early GC4 and in previous games weapons were more of a rock paper scissors. The Cutting Principal is a Altarian ship

Just installed the epic version and tested it. I just used the wingame cheat and I got an achievement popup. Are you playing offline? I'm not sure what could be going on.
