Not sure why that little details is not mentioned in the F.A.Q. as we know that they can get updated when needed.
[quote quoting="post"]Hello, I was wondering if there will be an actual interactive, strategic planetary ground invasion?. I think a global strategic battle like in fallen enchantress or the Civilization games would be interesting, but instead of a battle in a section of the world map, it would be over viewing the entire planet map, just my idea.[/quote] The thing is, planetary assaults are planetary scale, not just some skirmish. Not really sure how that would work.
[quote quoting="post"]GC2's espionage system was more like an afterthought [/quote] I don't think that it was a huge priority like other stuff but at least, they worked on it. It started weak and got better with expansions. It would be nice to get a decent espionage system from the very beginning, integrated with your military, research or diplomatic activities.
I don't know if they changed the EULA (it was long long ago) but I do remember when you had to agree that Steam could ban you and give you no explanation whatsoever about why. [e digicons]:|[/e]
Long time ago, Frogboy himself talked about some hypotetical presence of characters (Heroes) in GalCiv III. Not a promise but an idea. Since then, I have never been able to forget that.

GalCiv II is one of my favourite games ever. And basically, the team that made I and II is doing the III. Right now the only thing to think about for me is: do I go to Win7 64 or to Win8 64? I'm quite happy with my Win7 32 but I suppose that GalCiv III is as good as any other reason to "upgrade".
[quote who="Voqar" reply="3" id="3404949"] No thanks. Steam > all. I used to be against steam but now I'm a big fan. Why deal with anything inferior when you can deal with the best? I would say I'm surprised that people STILL dislike Steam, but I used to be that way, so whatever floats your misguided boat. You'll come around eventually. [/quote] Wow. A cultist. Or one of
[quote who="Sifer2" reply="1" id="3404707"]a service 98% of PC gamers already use on a regular basis. Just speculation by me though. [/quote] Speculation indeed as you are 100% wrong. About the "98%" part. [quote who="DivineWrath" reply="15" id="3404967"] What I fear is that Steam will become the single point of failure in the gaming industry.
