Can you blame them? (skip down to Brad Wardell's posts, one of the developers of GCII) |

Now I know for a fact that I'm buying GalCivII and giving up on all StarForce games.
Its a shame really, I was hoping to get HoMM V, but I can pass that up for the sake of bashing StarForce.

Re: OT, galactic civ II
The problem with this game is...that its only singleplayer. The game is fantastic, but I beat the AI on the hardest AI settings now, there are many cheap tactics to wipe the best AIs in the game _easily_ ... sadly.
I hope that the 1.1 patch AI update will give us more competition really.

Re: OT, galactic civ II
Ok, now that you now that cheap tactics which the AI can't cope with because the developer didn't think about them - can you toss them aside and win the game without them?

Yes of course I can. All you gotta do is to design the right counter ships against the AI fleets, and nuking their planets while waging war in the space. The AI cannot defend against that. If you build all kind of ships with different defenses/weapons, you wont have problems ever...of course if you mastered the game itself. :-)

Re: OT, galactic civ II
More importantly, did you provide files and info back to Brad about the always-win tactics? Thats one of the powerful differences in that game (and dominions and other such games) is that the developers are willing to receive our info and fix it.
