We can sleep when were dead in the meantime, we just want to make a cool game for all y'all! Seriously, though, we're glad to hear you guys are enjoying it...can't wait to fix some of the little bugs that have creeped up so everyone can play the game without interuption.

Ufff. Just finished my first game - lost it, damned Torians - but wow, what a game that was. Never enjoyed loosing so much!

You know, when playing GalCiv1 I used to be quite cool and detached... but with GalCiv2, I get much more emotionally involved, because everything feels much more epic and personal, primary because of the ship design feature (yeah, I'm one of those guys who spends more time designing his ships than playing the game...)
It's quite a different experience to have battles with generic ships... or seeing my first destroyer class ship named 'Hope' because it was the goddamn last hope for my race ripping apart swarms of Torian fighters...

Yeah, I love the game! And I recognize that as someone who used to beat GC1 on crippling 99% of the time, I have to learn again how to play this game. The AI has really getten much better - the way I played my first game, I'd won if it had been the GC1 AI. Well, I guess it was a bit arrogant to start my first game on tough assuming I knew 'how to do this'.

I like it when the AI sends messages to you about things you're doing. When playing on a Small, Normal Deul map I quickly gained a superior military and sent attack ships and transports right near the enemy's territory. A bit later I get a message saying something like, "Are you seriously sending all those troops right to my border and thinking that'll work? What do you think this is: a video game? If you were playing against a human, would they let you do that? Luckily for you, my generals are set to be too dumb to notice this, but I still do. Beware that if my generals were set to 'Intelligent', you wouldn't be getting away with this." That was an awesome touch.
