[quote who="Horemvore" reply="1" id="3712870"] With XML modding you can make a civilization that is totally unique and original. Lots of them if that is you desire. There is so much moddability when it comes to Techs, Abilities, Improvements and Traits. Couple that with System and Planet modding and it pushes it even further (Homeworlds can have unique Traits for example). [/quote] Thats good to hear, but intimidating. As a hobbie, I have some ti

Would it be possible to mod a race based on the follow tropes in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

I'm new to Galciv3 and I was wondering if it would be possible to mod a race based on the following popular SciFi tropes: Zerg, Borg, Xenomorph, the Flood, etc. I'm asking because I'd like to play with such an original faction, but I think that wasn't included in the game nor modded by the community yet. The tropes of this faction should include: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/

Yeah I'm not in a hurry. Maybe my OP gave the wrong impression: the issue isn't the price, but rather the respect that I have for this game, its developers an d the expectations that I have. I'l wait it out I guess. Thanks for the reply. :) Honest question: was this game release d too early?

Is GCIII worth getting now? Or should I wait another year in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Giant GVII fan here. I know that GVIII was less than ideal upon release but would continuously improve with time, and I decided to wait it out. Is it worth the price now? How's balance? Diplomacy? The AI? What are the top 5 issues? And more importantly: How easy is it to customize a new race with a new tech tree now? Is there finally a tech tree viewer available? Thank you. ^^

Torians are water based. Their ships are full of water. Ants are capable of agriculture and can build bridges. Technology isnt specific to humanoid apes.

Great post, nice read, good points. I'm expecting the elements that make sup the atmosphere of the game (voxpops, politics, colonie events, popups, dialogues, techs, ideologies, maybe even the soundtracks) to be even more tailored to what specific race you're playing.

Reply to Species and Eradication in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

When you attack a planet, you could have different invasion tactics, then you have different occupation options; annexation, enslavement, vassaling, setting up a puppet government, genocide, etc. Its so easy and simple, tons of 4X4 games have implemented a variety of strategies here. I can't imagine Stardock failing to innovate over GalCiv II here.

Reply to Vampire Bloodlines via steam in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

I played this game only once, 4-5 years ago maybe. Isnt this game supported by a diehard community of fans pumping out patches and mods? As it improved significantly with time? Have you guys heard about the mythical World of Darkness MMORPG that might never come out? It makes my heart ache.

Survival of the fittest means that survival is conditional to how well you fit in your environment, in which case, like its been said before, self-sacrifice, solidarity, altruism and cooperation are perfectly viable strategies. It depend on your environment. And if you look at our ecological system, the libertarian randian doctrine of "fuck you, got mine" isnt actualy well represented in nature, for good reason.

I wish I could just go into "hermit mode" for 5-7 days, with a stash of junk food, and indulge in that game again. Remember the Deb of night? That did a great deal to add atmosphere to the game.

Reply to Biocentrism - for any part of the game? good idea? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

They see everyone else as being equally important, thats different. And like in real life, some are always more equal than others. Maybe they see themselves as superior and different, if they're not quite biological and if they see themselves as keepers of the "balance". And maybe the penalty for threatening harmony is destruction. Get along together, or else, could be their motto.

Would make a great basis for an original civilization, and can be interpreted to follow any of the three ideological paths. Member of the species could be very sophisticated Von Neuman machines and be at the intersection of biological and artificial life.
