In my experience, troop transports won't launch unless you put *somebody* in them. I've only played GCII 1.2.
I first heard of Galactic Civilizations when it was an OS/2 Warp game. I thought, cool but I don't run that. Recently (in the last couple of months) Penny Arcade reminded me of GalCiv, said it was on an OS I run, and gave it a positive review. On the strength of wanting it for fifteen years, I finally bought it. The first ad doesn't necessarily sell the game, but neither does the last ad. I had been sold on GalCiv for a long time.
