I don't have any problem with the pricing so far but that's not the issue. Do I receive value from my investment in the game and do I look favorably on the development into the future? The answer to both of those questions, for me, is yes, the game hits a lot of sweat spots and is repayable. Stardock has delivered content, I like the new content over the old and I see myself playing into the future But thing can change. Who doesn't have x amount of dol

I abandoned a game yesterday after 70 turns with a gigantic dingle sector map because there wasn't a single unit of Antimater or Elerium be found. And only 3 deposits of Thulium. Today I abandoned a 50 turn game for the same reason. I removed the FOW and saw clumps of Antimater and Elerium spread around the map. Be close to a clump of each, your a winner. Have the clumps be far away, your going to lose the game but only after wasting hours looking for a c

Thanks Gypsy for taking the time to offer help. I use almost all the mods (thank you moders, you rule) but I didn't have the 3 mods highlighted by Draver below. It appears my game is fixed by adding them but I have to play long enough to find out for sure.

Try as I might, I can't get gigamass ship components to show up in games. I have uninstalled and switched between insiders and default. Using the ship designer from the game launch screen, sometimes the components are there, sometimes they aren't. If I design a ship in the designer when gigamass components are shown, that ship won't be available or even listed in game. The more I change something, the more I get a different result. I tried turning off Meg

I'm using the mods that help but I can see all the objects in the map without straining creating a huge Qof improvement improvement for everything. When I used the sliders on the view setting it bearly made a difference but I can see everything now. I can smile while looking at the map again, woot!

If you look at my post in feedback, I too had a problem with incorrect settings. I confirmed I was broke so after reinstalling the game 3 times, I'm fixed. If you have the bandwidth and don't mind setting the game up again, you might try to reinstall. I left a few setting on my computer and that's why it took 3 times I think but I deleted every file and pref on my comp this time. Personally, I would do this with your problem and expect it to be fixed even if it takes

In fact, it's the opposite. I have a lot of hours in the game and the number of planets close to me has always seemed less then it should be. After thye expansion, it's worse for me. I have to restart many times in a start I want to invest many hours in. I'm not looking for a perfect start. I'm trying not to be picky but no planets, no play. I use a single gigantic sector. In every game, with few exceptions, though I set planets to abundant, scarce is the number of planets

I also don't understand why ships don't stop move orders when detecting hostiles. I just don't understand why that's not in the game. I loved Empire Delux but Gal Civ much better!

The disclaimer here is I could be missing information I could find in the game somewhere or I'm doing something wrong but if so, that's still the problem. I get a new weapon upgrade and I want to quickly regrade a couple of ships. An old design popped up with the new weapon. Great, I'll use that. So, a, what's the doctrine? I don't know. I don't know where to look in the game to show me. That's ok, I'm just upgrading an existing design will have the

I'm not able to find a multi player game of Gal Civ 4 on steam that can be joined. Sadly, I have no friends to ask. I've had a Steam account since 2004 and I have 15k hours in Civ but I've never played a strategy game, multi player, on line or otherwise. UT and WOW don't count. But Gal Civ forces me out of my Civ comfort zones so now I want the experience of being utterly destroyed by another live player, great fun I imagine. Are there places to f

I have 700 hours in the game and can't live without moving my citizens around. I always wished in was in III. Looking at the relocation screen it occurred to me that if I could move citizens both ways, export and import, it would be better. If I could import citizens I could see the whole list and choose one two three. I think that would improve an already great feature. Wow, the game just gets better, keep up the great work!
