Surely Richard or Mindi will help you out. Send one of them a PM.

The biggest complaint against moo3 seems to be a lack of controll - your empire is controlled by AI ministers who pretty much do what they want, no matter what settings you set.

I havn't played it, though. That's only what I've heard.

Done already more than a month ago, but they seem to be too busy for things like that.

@Renegade: some of your points (1+3 at least) are addressed in GalCiv2. You will be able to play alien races then also.

You cant play multiplayer in Gal Civ and I dont think its planned for GC2 is it? That right there kills any desire to want to invest time in it. I might not play MP games of SE4 all that often, but I want the ability to do so. The ones I have played have been a blast!

I also couldnt make heads or tails out of the econ system in Gal Civ. It didnt seem to make sense to me that colonizing a poor world made even you good worlds produce less?? Maybe I was just missing something, but it was not intutitive to me....at all.

I had a lot of hope for GalCiv. It appeared shortly after I was so utterly crushed by the train wreck that was MOO3. I jumped into GC wholeheartedly, but in the end, I just couldnt get into it. SE4 on the other hand, I just keep coming back to every time the desire to play a Sci-Fi 4x hits!
