Default Re: OT: Anyone play Hegemonia? Opinions of it?

Hmm, ya, that review has one paragraph that makes it clear I wouldn't be interested:

"The combat doesn't lend itself well to tactical subtleties. It can be interesting to use the 3D planets and moons as cover for an approaching attack or retreat, but there's otherwise fairly little maneuvering or micromanagement to do. Despite the small number of units that the game's unit cap affords, there isn't much to do in a battle between two lone ships, and it's often impossible to retreat ships from a major battle without losing them all. Fortunately, it's not hard to build more."

I'm already bored with it. The graphics look nice. They should donate all that work to a more interesting game design!
