Fantastic read. I just love reading a good AAR like this one. Really nice, i can barely resist starting a new game of my own.

Do you need to resist it? It's fun isn't?

Yes it a great game, BUT i have exams right now and playing Galciv, as much as i'd like to, would not be a smart move on my part.

There are several different kinds of AAR's:

1. Story AAR - This AAR is mostly fluff. A story is generated using the events of the game

2. Scientific AAR - This AAR is often about strategy and how the game mechanics are used.

3. Casual AAR - This AAR is about the users experience of the game and is often humourous.

I think the PC Gamer article fits into category 3, which is by far my favourite kind of AAR. Frogboy's reports often fits into category 2, which is fair enough as he is doing it to refine the AI. This is my 2nd favourite type, as I can sometimes learn a thing or two. I'm not so keen on the first kind, as it seems more like fan-fiction.

A hoot! Mr Francis aptly demonstrates that you don't really need to have a perfect plan (or even a good one) - so long as you bungle your way through the game with panache you will have a blast no matter the outcome.

I looked into this game a while back when it was first being developed but was too into other things at that time and eventually forgot about it. I ran into a link for this blog and it reminded me of the great game. My laptop runs it great so I bought it and play it every day on the way to and from work on the bus.

Sadly, I remember trying my own version of Plan Omega before. It worked about as well as expected. It wasn't the most boneheaded move I've ever made: that was giving away my homeworld to the Korath in exchange for an alliance, figuring "Well, it'll flip back in a few turns," and forgetting that my homeworld was also my economic capital. . . 100% tax rate and 0% production couldn't save me. I had to raze dozens of buildings to get back in the black, and then the freakin' Yor ate me up.
