Re: Has anyone heard of the game Galactic Civilizations
GCIV has some interesting points. But if you think its similar to SE4 you are wrong.
The differences are:
-the mapboard - like civi just in space. This means no jumppoints, just a 2D map divided in sectors (up to several hundred) each which is subdivided in squares.
-GCIV is NOT a wargame in space.
NO shipdesign. Pre-designed ships with simple combat and movement values and a few special abilities.
-Combat is VERY simple. 2 ships are meeting in space (occupying the same square), one ship survives. Thats it.
-NO effective stacking rules. (just like in CIV II)
-economy is similar to Civilization
-no mulitplayer
-advanced political options
-very good AI (if we can trust the developer)
I hope this helps you
