My First Impressions

WEEE

March 28, 2014 9:12:48 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

Hey! When steam threw Early Access suggestion for GalCiv III at me I could not resist, I love GalCivII and it's expansions!

SO I got it and played a few hours, and made notes on what I thought:

LOVE the interface and arts and general feel, on any zoom Level I can tell whats going on, love the continuation of how planets work too
Also was very stable for me, no crashes or any other issues, missing the Ship Designer I can spent hours in that thing, can't wait to have it in the alpha!

- Ability to sell / disassmble a ship, I'm pretty sure thats just disabled, but just making sure to mention it, since I did not find that anywheres
- One of the Starbases I made for giggles just swallowed a second constructor I guess the Update Module thing would have appeared but I thought it was kinda funny "nomnom Constructor"
- I really look forward to Asteroid Mining and other resources, I kinda missed having that while playing, all those asteroids and no mining NUUU!
- I invaded some guys planet, and it just popped the "Hey you won!" Okay its a placeholder but If possible, can you guys like, make it really neat and cinematic yes? the old one was nice and all in GalCivII but Masters of Orion II had this fun screen with the colony in the background and troops advancing on one another, something like that would be really neat!
- Ship Battle, sad to see its not in yet, but got high hopes for all the pew pew!
 

Suggestions:
- Race Designer - If you could maybe hopefully add a leader designer or maybe let us switch genders? pretty please? I always wanted to play a Terran female President  
- Uhm the invasion stuff i pointed out above!

Bug/Something I thought may not be right
One of my Explorers was sitting right at the border of its max range between nebulas, I told it to go to a hex further away also at the max range, wich caused it to go around the nebula OUTSIDE of its max range, I feel that should not happen?

Anomalies were all named and I could quickly tell wich would give me what, I guess this may be for testing purposes?

 

Anyhow! Looking forward to seel GalCivIII progress

I saw this too, and thought they had retained an ability that was in GC1 and GC2. The idea was that the crew was forced to take to the cryo units and go into an induced sleep for the trip. This could happen, for one example, if one of your ships suddenly found itself outside its range (which could happen if an enemy destroyed or captured one of your colonies or starbases).

I experienced this but then realised when I 'managed' the starbase and it changed to the starbase screen that there were update modules on the right hand side (depending of course what tech you had researched so far ).

Am feeling the same about seeing some pew pew and starship designer not to mention the ground combat visuals once released.

Awesome Alpha Stardock, give yourselves a huge pat on the back!
