Here is my idea for tactical combat. I'll call it GalCiv Fleet Tactics. My idea is to introduce new tactical elements, while keeping complexity for the player to a minimum and keeping GalCiv grounded as a strategy game.... I just wanted to say that RogueIdea's post was totally awesome, and I would soil myself at the oppor
I have a question about the trails that are supposed to... well... trail behind ships in the battle viewer. Ever since the game came out I've had troubles with these showing up and while it should be no big deal... it frankly drives me insane.

I've played hotseat in every Civ game that's supported it, MoO2, HoMM2-4... I love this mode. But playing games like this with some random person off the internet s
