Do you know about the Wiki site?

https://www.galciv.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Civilizations_Wiki

Feel free to give it a go Conquesto, but I doubt it will stop the questions (considering that we already had an entire front page full of stickied threads, which most new registrants merrily ignored...).

No I don't want to create a sticky I want to try solve some of the issues that reoccur here then link it to a sticky if possible Kyro..

Why don't we review the newest online doc.?

explain? what do you mean..

Explained. ^^^

yeah! marc thanks for that Terror Stars seem to be frequent here but if you could provide the link to the forum post it would help..

Nah we don't need a Faq just tot tell people they can't have tactical combat. I for one want Tactical combat and multiplayer and consider this post and the comments therin an insult to my beliefs.

ALL on this site/Forum get to say thier piece .... Give me MP, maybe I kick you BUTT ... (or you kick me) Tac combat - I have NO fear ... Could be better : SPY - Diplo - UI ... Game is good - just as DEV created ...

I've been told by the Google or Wiki that no search result was found on some of your keywords. Is it too hard to understand for someone like me?

A strictly rock/paper/sissors option for tactical combat would suck. E.g You get to choose 3 options A,B,C , A gives an advantage over B, B gives an advantage over C and C over A , or variants of this sort.

In such a case, the best tactic from a game theory point of view would be a strictly random choice. Therer is no strategy in that and the computer would own (unless you hacked into their pseudo random generator!)

It's the same reasoning why the AI's INITALLY randomly choose to specialise in Missiles/Lasers/Drivers, on the theory that all weapons are equally good (some might dispute this), the best strategy is to choose randomly. Someone who always chooses lasers, or 50% between Lasers and Missiles could be busted once the pattern is seen as such the best strategy is truly random (or as close as you can get)/ .

Of course with choosing the line of weapon research , there IS strategy involved because you can react to opponent choices.

But for tactical combat, R/S/P is the dumbest model I can think of, it gives you an *illusion* of strategy, but there isn't any actually. The best strategy is to throw a dice.

Are you LTByram?
Sorry, off-topic, ignore it please.
BTW, my name is "CauseSuperDamnedDevilAlreadyBorn"

How about a slightly better search system - or have the webmasters for this site make a proper FAQ section for everyone!

well tends to be if they haven't done it already they are not to concerned about it so it won't happen anytime soon... And what is wrong with me doing it... I have many sorces from the devs including the wiki which no doubt the have had some input to..

A strictly rock/paper/sissors option for tactical combat would suck.

Whether It be TBS or RTS I'm still for it. I really want the simple slider combat of Master Of Orion 1 just simply being able to move your ships wouuld give me joy.

And It would be simple to turn The current Combat viewer into a RTS combat simulator.

The fans want one the other or both including multiplayer in an expansion pack.

If you say Tactical combat sucks your saying every 4x but GalCiv has sucked for the last couple years and thats not true.
