Default Re: OT Gal Civ 2...

Disciples, eh? Ever given Dominions a try?
Back on topic, I plan on buying GalCiv2 today (I would have yesterday but the GameStop near me hadn't received its shipment yet ) I might even start on making a GalCiv2 mod for SE4, or vice versa It will be really easy to do the tripartite weapons/defenses of GalCiv2 in SE4:

* Beams skip armor.
* Cannons skip shields.
* Missiles skip armor and shields, but can be hit by point defense.

The real trick will be porting over GalCiv's economic system
But just imagine this: an SE4 mod for GalCiv2... where you can put your favorite SE4 components on a ship and have them actually show up on the ship! Even if they are just eye candy

Oh, did anyone see these screenshots:

Don't those Terran ships look vaguely... familiar???

And this one here - "who needs Star Trek shipsets?" :

Don't some of these victory conditions look familiar too? Especially that "5 researches to transcend mortal existence"??? Let's hope the REST of the game is not "inspired" by MOO3
