Hi everyone. The name's Aulhel. I'm new to the Galactic Civilizations thing, and only heard of this recently. I may have no idea what the heck I'm talking about, so if I say anything stupid, feel free to whack me over the forehead with a two-by-four.
I've got a few questions:
1. If, at some point in the future, there is the demand for it, would there ever be a mini-expansion/release that would allow people to play as thje Dread Lords? Okay, okay, so I crave the ubers. Yes, I am aware that they are slow to build (if the Developer journals are any indication). If not, could this somehow be modded by the community?
Which brings me to the second question...
2. How moddable is Galactic Civilizations II going to be, and, if this information's not too confidential, how would modifications be created? What tools would be used, and would they be standalone programs like hexidecimal ("hex") editors or would custom tools be created?
3. It is said that the game will be shipped without copy protection, but there is no fear of any long-term theft because of an update system requiring serial registration keys. IS there any fear that these serial numbers might be stolen or that someone might create a key generator?
