I fully expect the AI to be much better than Elemental, and I might not be able to beat it, but others will.

Congrats Frogboy. Hope you don't mind with some suggestions on the Ai. I would like to see all the players taking up a fair share of the map after the colony rush. I've noticed that about two or three Ai's are usually dominant, and at least three are usually underpowered. You might have one with a super army with 4 planets. I would like to see this to be more even. If we get something like the Yor again where you are forced to play these differently than the other species

I would go for 1200 solar systems.
Again I want to be able to choose what to research or multiple research paths. Hey if I can do that on distant worlds wan you tell me how to do that. Instead of building research ports. I still can't pick my techs. I would compromise and allow private and public research both not just private wouldn't be to bad of an idea. The problem is that Stardock would probably go back to a game that worked. This scares me. There is really no way I would prefer a better Ai doing the research inst
[quote who="qrtxian" reply="34" id="3424201"] I don't really have a problem with AI surrender behavior, but I don't think it's ever a good thing to have "turn it off" as the only solution to a problem.[/quote] If you have a better solution to what you don't think is a problem then I would like to hear it. The reason I think it is the best solution is because someone likes planet trading and surrenders, or it would not be on the game. I would like to be able to sh

I agree do something with the pirates like on Distant worlds. I don't have a problem with surrenders cause I just shut them off anyways. Can I have an option to shut off planet trading please?
Can we have heavy metal music on the game as an option. This would be nicer.
I played Distant worlds and discovered that the way they've done the private research was a bad idea. We could make a compromise that maye the public and the private sectors could do research, but maybe the idea of private research would be a bad idea if they do it the same on Distant worlds. i'm scared thay would go to Dostant worlds to create private research. Lets not have private research.
I think your colony idea would work for distant worlds or spore more than galactic civilizations.
I thought that distant worlds was to automated. One thing I would like to not see in galactic civilizations that is in distant worlds is tech research that you can't decide on. I wouldn't mind sharing tech research with the private sector, but not the private sector doing all the research.
[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="19" id="3423940"] Quoting michaelwhittaker, reply 17 I'm not sure why you say that. In GalCiv 2, the tough difficulty is the difficulty where all AI algorithms are used. The AI isn't watered down (programed to make bad decisions) any more. It litterally can't play better because the algorithms required to do so don't (yet) exist. To be a greater challenge, the AIs literally needs to cheat on all difficulty levels beyond t
Wait what did you just change the name to make this make sense. Does that mean that there are two races of Altarians. One wuth white skin that bleads blue blood, and one with blue skin. Not admiral Thrawn, but grand admiral Thrawn. Is he related to colonel Thrawn who served under Iceheart.
[quote who="Wintersong" reply="3" id="3411644"] Different races/civilizations. Not just for the canon ones but also for the custom ones that (I hope that) we can create. Super abilities and different tech trees (in addition to their own AIs) was a good step but I'd love more. If this was fantasy, I'd say Master of Magic. As it's sci-fi, I'll say Master of Orion 2. I love to get stuck in the custom civilization screen of that game and all it's posibilities. Galactic C
[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="69" id="3424030"] My fear is that a lot of what is being talked about are ideas that would make playing on larger maps more restrictive than playing on small maps. Look at what happened between Civ 2 and Civ 3. The cost of expansion became prohibitive. Sid Meier even admitted that he didn't like large maps. It was also reported that large maps were an afterthought added after a hue and cry about there being no large maps to play.[/quote] All I
I showed her to 2 of my friends and they didn't think she looked attractive enough. They want the previous version of her. I don't think the blue is the problem. If the klingons can change in Star trek not the Altarians in Galactic civilizations. I liked the blue blood anyway. I don't mind the picture, but can we see all 3 factions. I did like the wraith in Stargate.
Here's an idea of what I would like to see in multiplayer. I would like to see modded and customized species I would like to be able to download these races from the internet into my somputer. To be played as opponents or customized species.
[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="66" id="3423846"] Quoting michaelwhittaker, reply 64I've seen two good counters to this. In civilization 4 they had a way of making too expensive to have more than 15 cities. If Galactic civilizations employed something like this. It would make it unfeaseable to take to many planets. They could even expand this number to a larger number of planets. The secind concept is war weariness. This depends on the kind of governments, and it would also dep
[quote quoting="post"] 1) Range scaling. I understand why larger maps might need large ship ranges. But this was way over scaled in GC2. It didn't matter how large a galaxy you start with it still feels small. It should also scale with the number of habitable planets or better yet be able to be disabled by user setting.

There were three other kinds of nucleic acids other than Dna and Rna that they found at the U of A, but all I can remember is peptides. They also think that sugar can work instead of proteins that they have discovered.
