Reply to Galactic Civilizations I vs. Galactic Civilizations II in GalCiv Journals Stardock Forums

I think the begining of the article is a little too hard on GCI. Yes, GCII is totally awesome, but the begining of the article makes GCI sound like it was bad. Sure it had problems, but let's make no mistake about it. GCI is an awesome game, and maybe the best I bought that year. I still have it on my laptop and my home PC, because it really is great. I imagine I won't be playing it as much now, because of GCII, but I imagine I might com

Reply to IGN reviews Galactic Civilizations II in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Make mention of IGN's review, but Gamespot is far more respectable than IGN. The IGN review of Galactic Civilizations I and Master of Orion III is laughable. They gave GC1 8.2/10 and MOO3 9.2/10 (the same reviewer). He had like 6 pages going on and on about what a master

This game isn't a polictical game. If your party gets voted out techincally the game should end!!! (That wouldn't be a very fun space empire game!!!) If you want to play a relatistic political game, play Prime Minister Forever. (Stardock makes one called the Political Machine, though I haven't personally played it personally.)

Yeah, I agree with some of the above posts. Galactic Civilizations would get a major benfit from a tiny tweak to the invasion system, namely: 1. Have only a percentage of the population willing to fight, that varies depending on cultural influence. 2. The remaining population comes with the newly conquered planet, but there is a possibility of unrest, rebellion, etc., the liklihood of which is affected by cultural influence, th

Reply to All taxpayers fight to the death? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Very strange though that the aliens would be willing to join another civilization if their influence was high enough... Very very very VERY VERY strange..., TOTALLY WEIRD It also affects the balance of the game, since conquering a planet is far less advantageous if everyone is DEAD!!!

All taxpayers fight to the death? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

When using a transport to launch an invasion of an enemy system, I can't help but notice that the enemy population (AKA "taxpayers") *ALL* fight to the death!!! You can use information warfare, which can can convert 20-40% of the unhappy population, but other than they ALL fight to the death. That doesn't make ANY sense!!! In reality if there are 15 billion taxpayers on a planet, you shouldn't have to kill all or nearly all 15 billion of them to take the planet. You should have to des
