[quote who="Nikioko" reply="11" id="3407431"] Oh no. I hoped so much that the map would be 3D this time that I would have accepted both cube boxes or truncated octahedra. But it is once again 2D. This is not Civilization which is bound to a planet's surface. This is a game set in open space and therefore there is a third dimension.[/quote] Even in real life, the galaxy's width is so much bigger than it's height, that it can be thought of as in 2D. In more local place

It's the little things that count though and it's the only reason I can read the tech descriptions after so many years of playing the game!
I'm sure most of Galciv's fans are pretty mature, but this is 2013 internet culture we are talking about... (come to think about it if they can pay the $99 they probably won't be 13...)
Hope the ship design is not like Kerbal. At least now, it doesn't work for me. I like the GalCivII way and if that is refined and made easier to handle modules that's great. Automatic symmetry is great too. Also.... lots of snap points! Snap point, snap points, snap points! That's what makes it so customisable and that's what gives the ship making so much variety. Snap points :)
I'm sure the person vetting out the star names will be pulling their hair out by the end of this and cursing Stardock! [e digicons]:waaaa:[/e]
Indeed, which is why I changed my mind about which version I want!
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I have done exactly that and waiting for their reply/refund. :) (It's a lot of money to pay upfront, but hopefully won't be disappointed, since GalCiv is my favourite of all time and was gonna buy the expansion packs anyway... ;) )
Ok, silly question... Is there a way of 'upgrading' from one founder's version to another? I... may have changed my mind and want more! :P
All those days checking galciv2.com finally paid off :) Super excited and the trailer looks great! I'm looking forward to see how the story unfolds in game, and of course all the other goodies that come along with GalCiv! I feel it's Christmas already!!
