I don't agree tactical land combat will add to the game for the same reasons I am against tactical fleet battles. Have explained why in other threads, but the main reason is this less focus and importance of the strategy aspects of the game. What I'd rather like to see is more strategical decissions arround ground troops, like design and building of regiments and defence systems on the planets etc. I hope the main focus of GalCiv3 will still be on strategy, not tactics

Hexes are superior in every way, except perhaps more work for Stardock with programming. :)

Complications for MP is my last concern here, we could have an "always auto-resolve"-option. The game becoming a less grand strategy game and a very little challenging game with ttactical battles is my main concern. I explain in post 61. Those who thinks the main issue is multiplayer here, has misunderstood a few things.

Are you going to be able to have space battles like in SoaSE or is it going to be like GalCivII where you just sit there and watch them fight?[/quote] Hopefully the last one, so the focus of the game can be strategy, good shipdesign/fleet composition and an AI that is not easely exploited.

Oh my God, Frogboy! These news are so splendid, and finally with Multiplayer. This is going to be so grand. I look forward to the thousands after thousands of hours I will play this game for the years ahead of us. Thanks for prioritizing making GalCivIII now, good choice lads and ladettes at Stardock. Suddenly my interest of other upcoming Space Strategy games fell under the basement. NB! Need to buy Alpha access today when back from work. Yummy!
