Looks like a great game AND NO that cannot be carielf singing its too alien...anyways so i was messing around with it cos i was exicted that i got the game to run on measly hardware (turns out it needed updated drivers) So i got around the diplomacy lock thingy i did it through treaties area SO i was gonna trade with the Real Humans some tech and some incentive And thats where it crashed...i knew diplomacy wasn't working but i like extorting tech... just to point out that it was funny anyways i did play galciv1 so i pretty much understand how to play the game! but 200 tech points initially is a tad bit too small along with 10 abblites all too small make tech points 300 and 20 abblities that will be enough but not enough for everything!
