Hey guys, so every weekend I'll be taking the team's work and then integrating ideas and feedback from you guys so that we can can get a new beta build going in the following week.
I'll be reporting my progress here but feel free to add your own notes.
I'll also be on Discord here: https://discord.gg/galciv so feel free to join the GC4 Commons area.

The fastest way to improve balance and make changes is when we can directly play with your saved games. That's because you guys do things we'd never think to do.
Please post your late game saves in this thread. Tell us what is happening along with what you think should be happening.
Thanks!
If you bought GalCiv IV on Epic and which to upgrade to GalCiv IV: Supernova (GalCiv IV + Supernova expansion) on Steam you can do so here:
Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova - Steam Upgrade (galciv4.com)
So in case you didn't know, the images you choose from aren't part of AlienGPT. Those get queued up and made later because otherwise it would take 10 minutes to pick your pictures.
So I want to preface this that you're all monsters. All of you. Especially YOU! Yea you know who you are!
Here are the top new images currently in the queue. BTW, if you wonder why there's already so many poop images in the cache, that's...well that's me. Stop judging me you monsters!
Here we go:
Ok, that wasn't quite as filthy as I thought.
Carry on.
