I totally agree with this sentiment.
I admit I have bought the GalCiv games and never played them much - they just have a kind of flavorlessness to them. I am probably a fool b/c I preordered Elemental but it seems like it could end up the same way.

Take a look at their video clip. Phrases like "the solders saw their extermination was at hand" to me sum up how Stardock games feel. They masquerade as classics like MOO2 but miss the sense of humanity. I mean, who talks like that?
