Default Re: IGN 6.6 Review

In order:
GalCiv also restricts you to playing humans only. Most SE players would call that a bad tradeoff. (think they changed that for GC2?)

Homeworld is a mission-based RTS, not a 4x.

Haegemonia: see "tightly scripted" this is bad.

MOO2 does it the best out of all the examples, and even there it just turns into a win condition plus space monsters. Nothing major.

Star Control: Not a 4X. Only one scenario. Again, most SE players would consider that a bad tradeoff.

Ascendency had about as much backstory as SE.
