w00t! Did you really go trough all the 9 pages of forum posts and read it all to compile that list?

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="17" id="3447939"] I also like the humor in the GC series. But I think it is important to also point out that humor has in the eye of the beholder. I don't think we can ALL be in agreement about whether GC2 was humorous or not.[/quote] True, but I consider funny and humorous two different things. You might find a comedy utterly not funny but it is still a comedy. Even if you find the galciv 2 humor very silly and stupid and ineffective,

[quote quoting="post"] So to emphasize the point again: Do not play the alpha expecting to have a fun game (though, ironically, the 1 on 1 multiplayer might have some bit of fun based on the playtesting I’ve seen). [/quote] I was thinking about that just the other day, I am looking forward to trying the multiplayer feature with other alpha testers.

Congrats on your decision to support Stardock and GalCiv 3! Nowadays I tend to put my money where my heart is and Pre-orders games I have faith in and support projects I Like on kickstarter instead of throwing my money at the big devs who only seem to be interested in making what will sell the most. Please understand that Stardock will need time to polish the game to a point where it compares to GalCiv2, just don't expect the Beta to feel like a finalized game immediately. T

What I do not like in the space 4x games with 3d maps Ive played is that the 3D limits the "Free roaming" aspect. You always have to tavel along lanes. Is there a 3d map with free roaming somewhere? It seems it would be hard to implement UI wise.

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="56" id="3447869"] Quoting Fate, reply 55I'm quite fond of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nTwBF7dM7g as the theme for the Terran fight back, it has that nice slow build up until the portal opens then bam! Added bonus, it's from Halo 2 Not bad. If we're going into the game-music territory, then this fits even better: War it's now or never we shall stand together one by one this world i

Kaki is made to hide in mud and plants, Gray hides better inside a Glass and Stainless starship. :p

[quote who="Ashbery76" reply="8" id="3447705"] The best and most popular fiction is generally not cheesy.[/quote] The original Star Trek Series was very cheesy and I think it is part of why it worked so well.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="2" id="3447673"] Quick request for Spouses DLC. If you're going to let us have children, and those children inherit traits from their parents, can we have a tag that disallows certain traits from getting inherited? [/quote] Sure lets just add ''In vitro fertilization'' and '' Gametic selection'' to the research tree, that will do it. :p

We have had a few more threads about the Humour of GalCiv and it seems that the general consensus is that most GalCiv players like this aspect. I certainly do. Furthermore it has become somewhat of a staple of the series at this point. I think the humour fits GalCiv 2 and has its place in the game. I think Brad is on the point about embracing the humor aspect and implementing it in a more thought out and uniform way. I am looking forward to it. In galci

Wonder what was the point of writing ''Play Now'' when the alpha is not out yet. Bound to annoy some buyers.

[quote who="Rudy_102" reply="12" id="3447679"] Interesting variant of (in)famous "Last alien" problem...[/quote] Well, at least a complete civilization cannot hide in the corner closet on the very last floor [e digicons];)[/e]

[quote who="UnleashedElf" reply="7" id="3447623"] Shogun 2 kind of solved this one with a phenomenon called Realm Divide where once you reached a certain point, all AI players would gang up on you.[/quote] I think once the RD hit, you suffer an immediate massive diplomatic penalty which prompts most everyone to DOW you but if you have really strong allies they may side with you after RD. At least initially, as I think you lose a steady amount of diplomatic points

In just about any 4x I almost never finish my games. I just start over once the issue is clear :p But In CivIV Ive found myself finishing more games than in others simply because in Civ IV you would often end up with one civ going for Cultural victory or space race victory getting dangerously close to it and you would find yourself in a race to stop them. The way the game was made somehow the advancement of civs was ususually more balanced than in say galciv 2 where one civ co

There was this badass commercial here in Quebec when I was a kid. Every kid around my age was fascinated ( or scared to death) by it. It is a living proof that there was more kickass things in the 80`s. I was tempted to write something about the Yor that would be based on it. But people outside quebec and outside my Age group would not get it :p [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vR0u5Z4S_E[/video] Yor Greeting: ''Hello meat

I do not see a particular problem with the AI spamming ships in GalCiv2. When he is inferior technologically you cannot blame him of having hordes of ship to try to 'compensate'. However AI is not big on upgrading and keeps his dinosaurs around, which is not the best strategy. When I play GalCiv2 I normally have fewer but higher quality fleets. I try to keep everything upgraded to the max or close enough.

[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="11" id="3447425"] Just stellar what SD has done! [/quote] I am not sure as to why you say that since Stardock has not shown anything from their star control project so far. But if you are refering to simply the fact that they are doing something with Star Control, then yeah I guess it is. [quote who="Chibiabos" reply="12" id="3447431"] Remains to be seen. Its one thing to sculpt your own 'verse, like GalCiv or Elementa

[quote who="Precursors_TiLT" reply="9" id="3447377"] Quoting EvilMaxWar, reply 8 To my great shame I never really played Star Control II, but I have an old buddy who was a die-hard fan and would talk to me about it all the time. So I grew somewhat familiar with it through him. If anyone can revive such a game I think its StarDock. It's never too late to rectify that mistake. You'll find the game in its free, updated form at http://sc2.sou

'' Hey there buddy! Came here to chat about torture techniques? IF you stay for a while I might tell you what I would like to do with a Irridium's 3rd and 4th eyes.''

''On our world we usually punch each others in the face as a formal greeting but our most recent xeno-behavioral studies indicate that you might find this impolite.''

Saying ''people are X or poeple are Y'' is a pretty common way of saying '' Most or many people are X or Y '', I for one understood that Tridus was not implying that 100% of the world`s population are cheapskates. I guess you have a right to not like it when people express themselves in such a diminutive manner but this one is so common it's really pointless making a fuss about it. Imho.

[quote who="FrostyThundertrod" reply="58" id="3447226"] unless you can make Diablo better then blizzard[/quote] This is exactly what happened with GGG making Path of exile :p Well, PoE is much more Complex than diablo was so maybe it is not exactly aimed at the ''80%'' Nonetheless the game is doing very well and many of the hardcore D2 fans who were very let down by D3 say that PoE is what D3 should have been.

[quote who="Mackadelik" reply="39" id="3447224"] 1. MOOII 2. MOO1 3. Civilization 2 4. Star Ruler (indie) 5. Civilization 5 4. Civilization 4 My apologies! Haven't tried Gal Civ II and at this point I'm waiting for the 3rd to come out and hopefully reach my number 1 spot![/quote] OMG you havent tried GalCiv 2??? Seriously you owe it to yourself to buy this gem. I see

Ive never been big on playing campaigns in games like galciv simply because I really like custom games and would typically go straight to them. I did play the original DL campaing but that was ages ago but then I never bothered to play the expension campaings, despite playing ToA for years lol. Reading this makes me want to go back and play all the GalCiv campaings back to back. Really looking forward to more of those civ background previews! [e digicons
