In my current game, one of the minor races (the ones that can't be conquered through planet flipping) gave me a "quest" when I interacted with them. Once I completed the quest, I had a choice of rewards and one of them was 0.2 techapods per turn! Lets just say, I'll protect them to the end :)
Combat and the various strategies involved in optimizing it (what ship or star base I build, what kind of layout I use, which modules is most optimal, what combat research do I go after in my current situation, how do I use it all in my grand strategy, how do I counter my enemies move, etc.) is an important part of the genre for a lot of players. There's so much potential for fun there, its worth taking the time to make it interesting while not over simplifying it or over complicate things. I
Totally agree with point #4. I really dislike RNG cards as well. Your idea of applying a bonus seems like a good compromise: use an incitative (bonus) instead of a constraint (negative).
That's awesome Derek, thanks!
I agree that something needs to be done about this. If the circle is here to stay, another solution would be to highlight the resources that will fall in the star base influence when moving your construction ship around.
About constructor and the range ring, one thing that would really help is highlighting the resources, planets, etc. that would fall into their influence radius prior to building a star base. Small quality of life thing that would make a world of difference.
From what was said in the Discord, it was intentional. They're trying it out. Brad gave a solution to revert the behaviour. Just go in \Epic Games\GCIVTestEdition\Data\Core folder and open GraphicsDefs.xml. Then swap the numbers of these two lines so they look like this: 4500 3500</StrategicIconDistanceThresholdHigh&

[/quote] I think Space Empire (IV at least) had something like that where you splitted a percentage of your research pool in different research fields. I really liked it and it was a lot of fun discovering what kind of new technology you could get for your ships or planet
This conversation may not be pleasant to have but it is needed. Epic exclusives are a multi facet topic, often emotional, that can certainly use some rational dialogue. The history of how things unfolded in the past is very valuable and does corresponds to what any honest observer present at the time would corroborate. I remember vividly how much better Impulse was to Steam back in the days. To this day I wish you all hadn’t sold it! In a way, we cou
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="58" id="3814474"] It is very likely that GalCiv IV will be exclusively on Epic for a period of time post-release. [/quote] What about GamePass PC ? Have you had a chance to look into what Microsoft could offer you to have it on their platform first ?
^^This That external link lay out the facts quite clearly. That's the reason a lot of people refuses to buy anything on the Epic store. The money they are giving away to developers is dirty. China's regime is not your friend.
