Hi
Whilst I really like this game, I cannot devote any time to it in its current state.
Is it therefore worth it to get a copy of Gal Civ 2 whilst they iron out the bugs in this one? Is Gal Civ 2 mostly bug free?
If so, which version should I aim to get?
Twilight of the Armor is definitely the best. Are you willing to wage $20 on a game that's like 12 years old? I see Galciv2 Ultimate retailing at $20. If so, I think grabbing all the DLC and playing the campaigns makes sense. I found the Dread Lords campaign very fun; but you need to amp up the difficulty. Be prepared for a different, weird econony. Lots of strategy guides out there.
However, if this is just to bide your time while Galciv3 gets worked out, I don't think we can reliably plan on Galciv3 ever having all loose ends tied. I chose to forego being a Galciv3 founder and just now bought Galciv3+Crusade for precisely that same reason, and that hasn't quite worked out as I had planned.
If you dont like crusades uninstall that dlc. The base game is wonderful. 2 is at least as done as it is going to get. Dont forget forget to download the cu mod.
2 is very good and definitely worth playing, even now. It recently had a fan patch added to the main game which rebalances virtually everything.
I like GalCiv 2 much more than 3. I would recommend 2 over 3. GalCiv 3 is more of... an acquired taste.
Although I really like GC3 Crusade, I'd have to agree with this.
Couldnt agree more. GalCiv pre-crusade was satisfyingly playable, from bug/balance point of view. Of course and obviously, when new additions like espionage and others will be done properly, the gameplay will be richer than it was pre-crusade. However, there aint much choice right now and I suggest to stick to pre-crusade game.
I tried playing II recently and it is just too old timey. Back down to pre crusade is the best solution imo.
