Oh crap.
It seems as if tactical combat is winning overwhelmingly in the recent poll. Don't you people see how many combats happen in a turn? It would completely bog down the game if Stardock added tactical combat to Galciv2. Can you imagine the Civ series with tactical combat? That is what galciv would turn into.
Sure, you can say "Well, it could be an option to turn off." True, but tactical combat would take a lot of resources to program and it would diminish the ammount of other features that could be added on.
I guess the people have spoken and I do admire that Stardock listens to us so I shouldn't complain when things don't go my way. But damn, tactical combat? I would take multiplayer over that.
I would be for tactical combat if the strategic combat worked differently but I just don't see it working when 20+ combats can easily happen for the player per turn.
