confusing map etc

March 10, 2006 1:36:12 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Does anyone find the gmae hard to follow as regsrds to who owns what on the map? i really really hate the way there are no actual borders and the way anyone can just park dozens of ships next to our yuor planets, they could do with taking a page out of Civ 4's book in thisa regard. Comments? and are there any mods that can enable borders...

The only thing any race "owns" on a map is planets, starbases, and ships. If you feel threatened by other races ships and starbases, buy them from them, go to war with them, or influence another race to war with them Keep in mind this is a SPACE game, and as such there is no land mass to be occupied in space, just the physical objects in that space...

Having researched the Universal Translator...

"yeah, what he said."

Kinda reminds me of the Harvard study about the first and last letters in a word and the middle all jumbled up.

That study works, If you don't make every last letter wrong your brain fills it in. Anyway, if you want to see who owns what, turn on influence areas on the minimap. It's as good a border as the game has. And, you need to jump across people's space to go to war with others or to protect them. Go anywhere near their planets on tough and above though, they'll hurt you for it

I have to agree with the other posters in this thread. The notion of having 'borders' in space doesn't make any sense. How exactly does one carve the vast emptiness of space into neat little political states with clearly defined borders? It's not like there are any geographical markers. From a gameplay perspective I can see the desire to want to have borders in the game, but I honestly think this has more to do with people's experience with Civ IV more than anything. If you look at the 'space opera' movies and science fiction literature, huge civilizations almost always have listening posts and/or ship patrols that enforce their sphere of influence. They don't rely on some invisible 'cultural border' to keep their enemies at bay.
