Galactic Civilizations?
I almost hate to ask this here. But what better place to get honest feedback that a forum that is populated with people who love space based strategy type of games.
Concerning Galactic Civilizations, is it any good? Yes, no?

Re: Galactic Civilizations?
Gal civ is one of the best of its kind
I am really enjoying it.
But if you get enjoyment from ship design, you will not be happy with it.
But diplomatic relations and AI are the best.
Check the designer's example game in galciv.com encyclophedia to see whether it is your kind of game. It is definately my kind of game!
For me, there is 'one more turn' feel in the game just to see what would be the reaction of other civ to the decision that I made...
Each civ is governed by individual AI routine so it is quite interesting
Role playing element is also very interesting
It does not come with multiplayer though. Metaverse is the substitue for multiplayer

I have had Galciv since it came out, and often read the GalCiv forums. I seldom post anymore.
In a word, yes the game is good.
I like the game a lot, but found that it did not have the utter depth of play and sence of role play that SEIV had. Would I recommend it, hell yes, it is a great game with a lot of neet things.
