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...

There is no X in ship design

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.

Re: Recycle Old Threads Drive Canceled!
Real time combat?
Combat in almost any form would do...
Besides, Fyron is one of the people who understand the difference between continuous combat simulation (good realtime), and literal "realtime" clickfest combat (bad realtime).
