I think everyone has proven why scouts are useful.

Beta? Because the game has few a.i. issues? Uh-huh......
[quote]It's fun single player, but Galactic Civilizations 2 is a far superior single player game by the same company and it's very similar. If you haven't tried Galactic Civ yet then I'd get that instead, even if you have then there's a new expansion coming out soon you might wanna wait for.[/quote] You should also let him know that Gal Civ is a completely turn based game.

[quote]Sure, but then again it's no point imo in marketing it as a new and refreshing 4x/RTS hybrid when the 4x ppl will get bored and slightly disappointed after figuring out that this game is not hard at all.[/quote] Or, as you say, doesn't play like a traditional 4x game.
[quote]lets not bother to express our opinions here though. fanboys r going to murder us for it.[/quote] Well considering that the topic starter never once mentioned that the game was boring, but instead requested assistance for his issues, I'm not certain why you brought up the boring factor. Just felt like trolling? Complaining? Or trying to spur on so called fanboys? Hmmmm.....I'm just trying to grasp what kinda reaction you were expecting. [quote]I know many will probably
[quote]No, the top 4X games all of them either give you an option or require you to win other then extermination![/quote] What, you mean like the getting the most resources or through diplomacy? Isn't the objective usually to come out on top, through possessing more resources? Also, the races in this game are essentially enemies.
[quote]The game does not focus on diplomacy or empire building, in the end the game ends up being get the most territory by force and the biggest army wins[/quote] Isn't that always the case?
[quote]As a 4X this game pretty much suck compared to other 4X games. The 4X elements in this game is either shallow or non existent.[/quote] Well considering that most 4x games have been turn based affairs, I'm not sure I see your point. But meh, to each his own.
It's just me then, my apologies.
I was just wondering, since you seem to know a lot out about this title, and it seems like you're subtly dissing Gal Civ 2 and Sins by upping some of the features of this title you recommend......But it may just be me.
Whelp, seems you'll be waiting for the expansion.
[quote]Stardock really doesn't intervene unless the thread is extremely profane/insulting/etc.[/quote] I've been noticing this, particularly with the increasing arguments and dead-end topics. I knew this topic would turn into an argument.....The writing was on the wall.
What is this, spam?
I yawn at this topic...And why hasn't it been locked? It's a complete waste of space. And completely off topic, but meh.....
IMHO, this is better than the original format, though not perfect.
Yeeeeaaahhhhh.......

Have fun!
[quote]I mean will we ever know if the TEC survive? Will the Advent get their revenge? What will happen when the Vasari's ancient enemy reaches them.[/quote] The first two questions can be answered by you playing the game, it's your choice whether they live or survive. The anicent enemies clearly won't be presented in this game.
