GalCiv IV Dev Journal #30 - Technology and Ideology Changes

Greetings, fellow space explorers! It's time for another exciting update on the development of GalCiv IV Next. Today, we're going to talk about some changes coming to the technology tree and ideologies. First up, let's talk about the technology tree. Technology choices are currently random in GalCiv IV, and while this added an element of unpredictable gameplay and replayability, it could also be frustrating when you desperately needed a specific technology and it just wouldn't show up.

Sins II: Dev Journal 7 - The Argonev Starbase

Although recognized as powerful battlestations, the Argonev-class starbases began their lives as civilian structures. Prior to the war, the Argonev served as orbital cities where families lived, major commerce hubs were established, and ships serviced on their treks across Trader space. By War Year 15 the TEC had determined that these massive bases would need to be repurposed for the war effort. Many of the civilian accommodations were removed to free up space for military hardware and const... [read more]

GalCiv IV Dev Journal #29 - The Planets are Liars

As you know, in GalCiv IV core worlds are the backbone of your civilization. But not all planets are created equal. This is communicated in two ways: First, by the raw planetary inputs (minerals, tech, food, wealth, culture) and Second, by the types of tiles that the planet has on it. Unfortunately, in GalCiv IV, the two don't reflect on each other. They're disconnected. What I mean is that you could have a planet with a high tech raw resource input and have no tiles t...
