Galactic Civilizations 3 announced

I think it’s a good deal. :)

I agree! :)

Does GalCiv 3 have any personality? How does it stack up to Stellaris, whose mechanics are quite interesting for the space 4x genre?

Crusaders improved GalCiv 3 for sure. I’m not sure about personality, but it does have a nice variety of mechanics. It feels much more like a traditional 4X than Stellaris. I do think the hex-based movement for a space 4X bogs down the game a little too much, but it’s a pretty solid game - much more so than I found Stellaris. Not a must buy, but solid.

The bundle deal from the daily sale continues with the summer sale too. :)

Picked it up finally uh, plus all the DLC too.

WIll give it a go sooner than later, I’m sure.

I picked it up on the GoG sale, so now I can only get Mercenaries at full price. My mistake using GoG I guess :(

Wait for another sale on Mercs. It’s not so vital that you need it now.

@Island_Dog, thanks for your help on this. I just got a message back on my ticket.

This was indeed my scenario. I have all the DLC (I’m a Founders owner, or whatever it’s called) and my friend only had some. This hasn’t ever been an issue, but looks like that’s what triggered the bug in the 2.3x patch we were playing.

Hopefully I can give it another shot tomorrow and see if it works!

Anyone having problems with ships disappearing (visually) since Crusade? You can still click on them, and next turn they pop up. This was on a tiny map with 3 races, started after 10 turns.

I haven’t heard about anyone else with that issue. Does it reproduce in a save game?

I’ve had it happen with asteroids before. It’s been something that’s been around for ages, so I kinda thought it was WAD.

We were browsing through the workshop and found one of the best factions available. :)

Whomever made that deserves a slow clap the next time they walk into a room, lol

That is fantastic :)
