Yeah I mean paid in any ilk, dlc expansion or otherwise. Glad to know it will be patched in when it's ready. i am perfectly fine with that.

My fear has been that the feature that was supposed to be in the final release would be pushed to an expansion. This was one of the things I was really looking forward too. Far to often in 4x space sims we get over simplified invasion mechanics.

So my need to make farms at this point is completely gone. Even

I have played through many games of Gal Civ 3 and have never been able to pull out of last place in the tech race, When going to the diplomacy screen and looking at Faction Power I am always in last place in the research category, I always choose a research heavy and production heavy race so I can mass produce research centers on planets. I make planetary colonization choices that favor research bonuses. I choose the right ideology path, I choose resear
