Please tell me it's not a 4x game for the phone... bonusXP has only made phone games... there is a huge difference between the two. Although the phone market is huge and you'd be foolish not to at least try to gain some of that market. But i'd rather see new PC games. i don't see the point in playing games on the phone when i have some many other electronics that are far better at gaming.
[quote quoting="post"] 7. I wish it was easier to tell how many starbases can be built without paying, and how much it would cost when building one over the limit. [/quote] there's a limit? i had no idea lol
[quote who="Edladner" reply="5" id="3491734"] I worked with a naval sim called Harpoon. In it the messages were delivered by your officers. Similar to the suggested GNN and pop-ups Drengins now have etc.. having someone of your race presenting it, you know how often those come. On planet screens an official for that planet, taking your orders would indeed be cool. If images would suffice instead animations, I bet we have better luck being considered. [/quote]
[quote who="econundrum1" reply="11" id="3491722"] As for RTS style comabt in a turn based stratergy game it would be jarring and out of place. [/quote] I agreed with you up to this point, in this game sure it wouldn't fit right now and would take a lot of design and development to it make work correctly and enjoyable. However... Total War series games have always been one of my favorite and guess what? :) It works really well when done right.
Ok i know i said i wasn't going to since the UI is so bad. But i ended up doing an impulse purchase. To be honest i kind of wish i wouldn't have bought it yet. Not that it's a bad game but just because it's only half the game. The UI is still something that bothers me but i think i've beat that poor horse enough and will leave it alone. It feels a lot like it's predecessor and that's a good thing and a bad thing, i mean god knows there wasn't enou
I believe they read the forums (as Kryo already posted) and act on some of the things mentioned far more then say Firaxis or any other gaming company out there. Simply because they don't respond to your post directly or your direct opinions doesn't mean anything at all. Stardock is a good company it's not a huge company making millions that they can just throw at there projects. But the company is growing and that's a good sign that they're doing something right. A
[quote who="parrottmath" reply="76" id="3490470"] ... I also don't find that changing a working old concept to be a bad thing. Somethings can be improved, but there has to be a good reason to improve or change the concept. Change for the sake of it needs to be different somehow is not a good way to approach things. I'm all for change in the game, I supported the off world shipbuilding, it adds a great strategic layer to the game, but other things I don't think woul
whoops wrong button.

My problem isn't the graphics as much as the UI. the graphics of the UI i think need attention. there is a difference between the game graphics and the UI graphics. Also i'm not sure why start dock insists on having a list of all planets right there on screen at all times. I can't think of a game that star dock hasn't made that does this. I think it clutters up the screen and valuable real estate that could be sued to get a better look at the overall empire. There are "report"
[quote who="gunsmoke5" reply="23" id="3488175"] Wow! I must have the wrong game... mine says 'BETA - For Testing Purposes Only' across the top. I realize that you cannot create a game that will satisfy everyone. I don't think that's what they are trying to do. I do think they are satisfying their fans, and drawing in some new ones! I've read through the posts before this one. Some interesting thoughts and opinions. Some should have been kept out. <br /
[quote who="Echelion" reply="20" id="3488155"] You idiots .... [/quote] interesting, so we're idiots because our opinions are different then yours. But then again yours is different then ours so does that make you an idiot too? You know it's unfortunate that we can't express our own opinion and what we had hoped to get out of a game without being insulted.
Honestly that's why i haven't bought it. I liked and played gal civ II a lot and by that i mean A LOT lol. But this one just doesn't seem to offer a large enough difference. the bulky UI with graphics from the '90s in the videos just kills it. i mean i look at the galaxy map and i see the same map, sure there are some differences here and there but they are minor. I haven't played it so i'm sure there are strides there that i'm not seeing that might m
