Re: Recycle Old Threads Drive Canceled!
GalCiv is hardly comparable to SE4 or MOO3; it is not in the same genre. SE4 and MOO3 are 4X games, GalCiv is a Civilization-type game. Direct comparisons between them don't work very well (either way).

Hmmm. I always thought Civ(1or2) is a classic 4X game !
If not, please define 4X in a way Civ would not be included.

Re: Recycle Old Threads Drive Canceled!
IMO, one of the major aspects of a 4X game is critical design decisions. Civ-type games do not have these. You research tech, and your units are always the same. Maybe I mean Space Opera and not just 4X in general...

Re: Recycle Old Threads Drive Canceled!
So? That is irrelevant. There is more to a 4X game than just the X's...

Yes, real time combat for example.
