After a year playing GalCiv2 I thought I will try out the DreadLord campaign. And so I started it, but ... on what drugs was Stardock when creating the campaign? I mean its just ROFL.
Whats the point of losing tech, whats the point to revert the time? Its just plain stupid. I reinveted the same techs in 3 missions, 3 times the time got back from 2230 to 2220, wow. But what realy kills me are the Dread Lords. I got the reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly great hint to "avoid" them, how an I supposted to do it when they have speed 6? Getting warp drive takes time, and by the time I have it, the Dread Lords terrorize the map with like 10 destroyers. So where to hide? and I cant hide anyway, they thorw a troopship at me every third turn. Once I thought "heck, its just one world"... bad move. They started producing ships there too, overrunning me within a couple of rounds. And so I keep researching new techs, producing ships like an idiot, loosing 2/3 of my fleet to the DreadLords and hope, sometimes I will manage to reach the yor + drenging.
Now its years 2338 and I finaly got down there just to notice, I cant win that battle. The two have like a million heavy ships there. Well this will be fun fighting them. I wish I knew whats the point of the mission. It would be just too much asked to have the DreadLords in the first missions to be an occasional terror commando like the antarians in MOO2 hu? Or be just a bit stupid and just flying around, randomly killing something.
Ah btw my allies are a blast too. They do nothing, dont even build a couple of ships to attract the DreadLords away. They give me like 500creds every 15 turns. Great. Very helpfull.
I gues I will just try to survive, get DoomRay and Huge ships and overrun the DreadLords, but then again, why to play the campaign? I should have never started the campaign, it just makes me angry and forces me to dislike the game.
