Hey have any of you ever heard of Galactic Civilizations? That is thru Strategy First as well and it was a great CIV3 in space game. I'm not worried. I can't wait for SE:V. Just make sure that what ever you do you do not cheese out like MMO3.

Both GalCiv and Civ 3 were trite and pointless... I don't see much hope with Strategy First.

Well your welcome to your opinion but I think CIV3 and GalCiv were great. Galciv has been handled well by Strategy First and so will SE:V. Well I can hope.

Ya, I heard of it, even bought a copy. I was not impressed! I still have an account, and IMHO the game sucked. But then my opinion could be biased because of the Space Empires series.

Personally, I think that their forum system was a PITA. And I doubt that they are in any way prepared for the kind of fan support that Space Empires will bring with it. I think we will be in for quite an adjustment.

You're right. GalCiv SUX big time. I've never even visited the forums or even bought the full game, just played the demo..... lasted lass than ~30 minutes on my HD. A record low. It was just too fricking unclear. Research was weird, space travel didn't feel right, systems weren't used well, and that's about all I can remember from the single game I started (but never finished) before deinstalling the program.

As I recall, it was a cross between a first person shooter and a treasure hunt, with a tiny little bit of 4X thrown in just to confuse things. And lets not forget the stupid RP stuff. Not my kind of game at all.
