Reply to test in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Oh god, sorry, DELETE this thread- I THOUGHT I was replying in the test thread using SDC... still figuring out how it works. Seems like I logged in three times before it considered me "in." Again, sorry for this thread and feel free to swipe it from existence.

Reply to Gal Civ and MOO MiM issue, but I'm mostly happy with Gal Civ in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Brad's idea appears to be that minimaxing design in ships so that TACTICS in battles eclipse STRATEGIES is a game ruiner, and I AGREE WITH HIM 1000%. That's 10 of me to one of you, Ion Stream. :p LOL When I could do that in Moo1 and Moo2 I stopped playing... permanently- it was just no fun and to design POOR ships in order to play a more BALANCED game? No thankee, ain't gonna play like dat. Serioulsy, I, unlike you, do not thinkof it as a "core concept" and take exception to your inc

Reply to GalCiv difficulty levels in gold version in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'd be surprised if the people who bother to post weren't instead playing at diff. levels too high initially and then complain about it being too hard and having to play against "fools." I think there'll be a LOT of complaints about it all being too hard, by whiny people who like to conquer games and then claim they "beat" the game with no real interest to long-term play. Here's to hoping Stardock RESISTS those complaints and lets us continue to be challenged and surprised and

Reply to MOO 3 The game you Hate to Hate in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It's OK, man, you made the right decision. You can return to it when it's $14.99 and patched to heck and back, and... well, maybe you won't, though... for me the underlying *design* elements of the game are disappointing- and too complex for an AI to master, ie not *designed* with a posible AI in mind from day one which spelled doom for the SP experience.

Reply to This weekend's game documented in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Brad, what intelligence level are those AI set at? Also, that yearly summary screen looked cool- I liked the narrative flow to it! Is it true that the epic generator- or story part of this game was stripped out? A tragic loss, but it looks liek you've tried to add "story" in as much as is humanly possible- I appreciate that.
