Re: Galactic Civilizations?
It was Infgrames that screwed the fan base originally with Civ 3 and Civ 3 PTW... the game was made not complete rubbish, just regular rubbish, under Atari... interesting, eh?  |

Re: Galactic Civilizations?
Let add my two cents here (actually, that's all I have right now. my alternator on my car went out Monday and cost me over $300 to fix, and payday isn't until Friday!!). GalCiv is a great game, and there are times when I'm torn into which 4x game I want to play. I think SE4G is more moddable, or at least I can understand the modding more than I can for GalCiv. But GalCiv is a great game, and would highly recommend it.

Re: Galactic Civilizations?
Galactic Empires is to 4x as Chess is to wargaming.
I tried hard to like it, but SEIV is much deeper and GE is missing so, so much. GE has a couple of good ideas, but good ideas do not a game make.
Even on the largest maps, you feel like the universe is so small. Ships are just pegs on a board that move until they "click" against an enemy world and then combat is very similar to Civilization 3.
I want a grand space opera, Galactic Empires is Muzak.

Not so sure about sheep... goat maybe, but it's certainly great septic tank filler.
