Hey guys the GalCiv3 beta is my first experience with the Gal Civ series and so far I have enjoyed it. I just have a few questions:
1) growth and food - so I seem to have noticed a planets population tops out at how much food you produce (8 food means you pop cap is 8). Does growth have a base rate? What affects it besides improvments? When I mouse over growth it doesn't give information like other traits. Population does seem to affect a planets ability to produce research, manufacturing, etc but no great tooltip to explain the ratio or %
2) production, what is it? There are space station modules and a pretty early tech that improves production of either manufacturing, research, or commerce. After building/researching it I didn't seem to see an increase in how much my planets were producing of anything.
3) planetary invasions - how is victory determined? A screen pops up with numbers but they don't seem to mean much. Last night I invaded a planet with 21 population with 1.5 population on my transport. I had a 118ish advantage while the defending population had just under 16. When I lose or win I don't know why. Also does the surviving population you bring now love on the planet?
Thanks guys I appreciate the help just a few things that have been annoying me
