Some people like more substantial challenges.
A lot that I have heard suggests the game is more difficult on smaller galaxies rather than larger galaxies. I believe I heard from Frogboy himself that more processing power is used on larger galaxies, so less goes into the AIs "decision making"- if you can call it that.
Besides, on medium galaxies, the end game still takes hours and hours if you are trying to conquer the galaxy.
Thank you for nitpicking my attempt to bring a balanced resolution to this god awful thread which should have been locked days ago. Without being suckered into debating, at all, the merits of small maps vs large maps, in a thread that just doesn't need any more silliness, I will just point out that I chose my words deliberately.
According to dictionary.com:
Substantial: 1. of ample or considerable amount, quantity, size, etc.: a substantial sum of money. It was a quantitative, not qualitative, adjective.
Now, in the same way that the guy who chimes in to lecture someone on forum etiquette, or chastise someone on using the search function , always ends up being more annoying than than whatever infraction the Original poster committed in the first place...we now have 3 times as many posts expressing their righteous indignation over the existence of the thread, attacking people for liking large maps, attacking people for attacking the "free" updates (which never happened, BTW, but I realize that's not important to mob mentality...I'm sure most of the people posting now never bothered to read the thread)...than we had posts when the thread was on-topic (and only a few of those really went too far).
Most of the original posters in this thread don't deserve your derision, and the very few that might, have now have been punished for this many times over. In the heated segment of the thread, we already lost someone who was otherwise a decent contributor to these boards to the Banstick...how much more do we really need to pick at this scab?
