The Unknown Knows
Hello all, I just read a post on the newsgroup asking about a scenario editor, and Frogboy replyed, "Not yet. Summer time hopefully something will be ready like that. Brad" Another something to look forward to. Thanks for all the hard work guys! Soon we will have to change Brad's handle to FrogMAN! LOL
The thing I am digging about GalCiv is the obvious Babylon 5 influence. With this in mind, I imagine a race achieving this type of technology and power being comparable to the Vorlons or the Shadows -- just one step from leaving our galaxy and passing beyond the rim into the unknown. Here is a cool quote that sums it up nicely: "There are beings in the universe billions of years older than either of our races. Once, long ago, they walked among the stars like giants, vast and
Sorry MasterMoO, I have tried to find where I had seen the screenshots, but I am having trouble locating them. I wish I had bookmarked them. I know for a fact the B5 mod screeshot I looked at was through a link posted on this forum. The subject was something like "What all can be changed in GalCiv" or "How moddable is GalCiv" or something along those lines. I know this doesn't help much, but maybe it will spark someone else's memory. In the mean time I will keep looking.
Sheeesh -- I had no idea this would turn into a Lurkers Anonymous meeting. LOL "Hi, my name is (insert name), and I am a... lurker." Glad to see I wasn't alone. It's ok to come out everyone -- the coast is clear! :CONGRAT:
I think a mod forum is a great idea. Especially when one of the strengths of GalCiv is how modable it is.
Twilight Imperium looks very cool. Looks like I'll be ordering this in the very near future!
Google! I did a search for 4x turn based space strats about eight months ago, and GalCiv was among a small few I found in production. Other than MOO3, it is the only one on that list that still looks active.
Does anyone remember, or you may even still play, Mark Miller's Traveller RPG? I played classic Traveller back in high school (I'm 33 now -- damn I'm getting old), and I have been playing GURPS Traveller for a few years now. For those who don't have a clue as to what I'm talking about go here: http://www.travellerrpg.com/ or http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/traveller/ . Anyway, I have seen screenshots of other mod ideas. The Babylon 5 mod looks great! I think the Traveller universe woul
Greetings all, I will keep this short and sweet... I just wanted to step from the shadows and say hello to everyone. I have followed the progress of this game for several months now, and I am very excited that the release date is close at hand. I have a strong feeling that GalCiv will be an instant classic with the turn based strategy community. I have my fingers crossed for good reviews! I'll stop back in and give you impressions on release day. See you in the Metaverse
