Is there a way to get more background GALCIV Story/history into the game?

as popups? events? something more than info on the races?

Id second this- that was something that I was hoping would be more flesched out in 1.04; perhaps in the expansion pack ?

I'd love to see something similar to what MOO2 did with the Antarans, where you'd have some mysterious race thats uber powerful pull a hit and run attack on a planet, devastating it. This added the victory condition of finding a way into the Antaran's dimension and destroying them.

I think it'd add to a story if there was some menacing race that has marked the universe for extinction or something.

Sick of being extored the Alexians, modify Space sharks by making them ill-tempered mutated and fixing Lasers to them....

hehe...

While going through personnel reports, your advisors have brought the file of one scientist to your attention. He has stolen many ideas from other scientists and claimed them as his own, and has been implicated in several failed plans for world domination. However, he has also found ways to highly motivate those under his supervision, and his Fembots (modified Artificial Slaves) have been an amazing success. Should we keep him around?


A) No way, baby! Keeping a square like him around is bad mojo! (-4 Research)

B) Well, I suppose it would be allright to keep him around for ideas. Just keep him away from the friggin "lasers". (+1 Research)

C) Excellent. I will have a need for people such as these if I am to dominate the galaxy. I shall call him Mini-me. (+ 1BC - yes, that's one BILLION credits!)

How about an event where evil civs can choose their evil hideaway?

A) Starbucks Coffee Outlet
B) Great hollowed-out vulcano
C) The Moon (We now call it the "Death Star")

Or you could have an event where you could exploit the financial opportunities of raising alpaca-lamas.

Also: They should use more friggin " "-handgestures in the diplomacy screens!!! :CONGRAT:

Ooh, you don't want him doing diplomacy... if you sent him with a Terror Star to demand tribute, he'd ask for 1BC, and end up selling the station for 5BC. It'd still be fun to watch the diplomacy clips of him in action, but.

Hmm... you know those movies clips in ac for the wonders? Imagine clips for the wonders and trade goods here from some of our favourite tv shows and movies. Or would that be too cheesy? :)

Well, I'm sure that for every trade good and galactic wonder, there's a perfect clip in a cheesy sci-fi movie out there... somewhere... we just have to find it :)
