Hi ColdSteelRain: Your suggestions seem highly appropriate and potentially hugely beneficial. Hopefully the devs might seriously consider implementing these changes to the benefit of all players (not only those who might desire to play with really large galaxies). I have often thought that it might prove beneficial for game devs (especially those creating detailed and complex
Hi ColdSteelRain Now you are talking!! Maybe something useful might yet emerge from this thread - whereby modders or even the Stardock team (in their next patch) might be able to successfully "tweak" various aspects of the GC2 interface to help ALL players maintain better control of their empires. I look forward to reading your next reply - or those of anyone
Hi ID10TCAD: Unfortunately GC2 does not offer a MP mode. A kindred spirit (wrt the ability to play an epic heroic game). Afaik, one can play with extremely large maps in Supreme Commander - but one most definitely requires a "rambo rig" to manage this.
Hi ColdSteelRain You have introduced some extremely interesting (and highly valid) points. I will try to answer them (as best as I can): "The user interface would need to be substantially changed in order for you to be able to manage more planets and more ships." If this is indeed necessary, I would then tend to agree that this is a potential "show stopp
Hi Moosetek13: Thank you so much for your extremely helpful reply. Yes, I certainly understand the principle of hardware constraints - especially as my present system is nowhere near "cutting edge". However (largely by necessity), I am hoping to upgrade to something significantly better early next year and am looking forward to testing my new system with a truly epic (strategy
CHOOSE ANY SIZE GALAXY? At the end of the Dread Lords demo (in advertising the full version of the game), one of the bulleted list states that it is possible to choose any size of galaxy. Therefore my question is as follows: Is it possible to create a galaxy size larger than Gigantic? [The largest map that I have seen (so far) is the "Map of Hell v3.0" which features an impressive 201 stars and 1000 planets].
CariElf: Thank you so much for your most informative reply. I must admit that (probably unlike the vast majority of the other GC2 players) I am more of a "builder" than a "warrior" (although I am rather partial to large tactical battles). I would therefore actually welcome the option of being able to eventually manage to develop all of my planets into (especially) a series of m
ADDITIONAL PLANETARY SETTING CHOICE: These suggestions would in all likelihood constitute either: (i) an extremely ambitious mod, (ii) a major GC2 patch or (iii) a potentially interesting feature to incorporate into GC3. While I fully realize that the depiction (and corresponding ingame management) of the individual planets in GC2 is (by gameplay design) a somewhat abstract exercise, would it however be feasible to offer the player some additional options for planetary s
