Yeah, and those stars are useless too! We should be able to colonize the sun! Actually, you CAN colonize the sun in Space EMpires It's pretty cool actually. (lol. Needed to say it to be a troll. Not suggesting it belongs in GC2.)
Personally, I like tactical combat. I think it's ignorant to assume it serves no real purpose. I agree it's not 'required' for the game, but neither is ship jewelery Tactical combat is still strategic. I think it's the only thing missing (besides multiplayer) to make this my fav game. Space Empires IV is still my #1 turn-based game, despite the unbalanced tech tree and rather stupid AI. The tac
Here are a few bugs I've noticed. Sorry if they're duplicates: 1] When attacking with 2 ships in a fleet versus a planet, upon winning my ship's HP actually went UP, not down. 2] When filling a planet's social build queue, after filling the last request, the cursor highlights the first thing in the queue, but when I hit "Purchase" it's something different. 3] When I'm in a planet screen and I go to the "Build Ship" window, hitting DONE puts me back to the space screen and th
For me, it's about the sheer ethics of DRM. Honestly, how many people will really turn down buying a game due to DRM? The same number of people who wouldn't buy DVD's because of the useless region number restriction: very few. The RIAA has visciously abused the fact that, like games, each title is uniquely valuable. For most corporations, if a DRM solution has no impact on sales and has an impact on piracy, then that's all execs need to hear. The margin gets bigger. This is
AWESOME. Of every game that's out right now, PSP, Xbox 360, PC, etc. Gal Civ is #10. That's hot. Kudos!! Rank: 10 of 17,521 (UP) 10 Rank on PC: 7 of 5,121 "Galactic Civilizations II is a strategy gamer's dream, boasting a rare mix of depth, customizability, humor, and replayability."
I just wanted to say a big "Thank You!!!" for omitting the annoying piracy protection on Gal Civ 2. People who buy the game are no less than annoyed by copy protection. People who download the game will do so regardless of any copy protection. It's my belief that (modern) copy protection actualy encourages the distribution of cracks. I've DL'ed and searched for cracks for all of my store-bought games to protect my original disks. I know a lot of computer-retarded
Do what I do: "Have you ever played Civilization?" "Yeah. I got Civ 4. It's GREAT!" "Throw it away. Gal Civ 4 slaughters it." "You serious?" "Yup." That's it. Now if they can only get it on the shelves... Don't say "Turn-Based." Turn based games are the victim of bad PR started when RTS games came along. Just say Civ 4 and people will bite.
