Would it be possible to have outside of the main game a battle viewer mode?
Basically in games like Total War, you can have custom battles where you choose troops on each side and then have them fight each other. Would it be possible to implement something like this in Gal Civ 3, only with ships (ex: your custom ships vs enemy custom ships)? It might be much more engaging than playing a lengthy 4X too in multiplayer as it would be much faster.
