Bought all the expansions, fully updated it etc. but there is just nothing about the game to like for me I must have played Masters of Orion 1+2 until the image of the screen had burnt itself into my eyes. I wanted so much to enjoy Gal Civ 2, but this so called spiritual successor to the MoO series just feels like a very hollow shell to me.

Stardock seems to be a promising outfit, but they have yet to produce a game that grips my attention for more than a few minutes. Pretty certain I'll pass on Demigod, and will certainly want to play a demo of Elemental before they get any more of my hard earned cash.

I had high hopes for the new fantasy tbs game but when I heard that there wouldn't be any actual fantasy races I lost interest. I have always avoided playing the human races in any fantasy game so this one sound just plain bland to me. I think I will stick with dominions 3 and fall from heaven 2 mod for civ iv.

Of the games that Stardock sells, i think the best one today is Sins of Solar Empire, it is a really good strategy game, but the best think in it is the community mods... They really bring the game to life...

I also didn´t got involved in Galciv (both I and II) and think MOO2 is still a better game...

Lol, I thought I was the only one. I thought everyone loved that game but it just felt so bland to me. I tried so hard to like it, it seemed in theory like a game I should really like but it felt like playing a spreadsheet.

I can safely say that I've had far more fun playing around with spreadsheets than I ever have from playing Gal Civ 2
