Limit Theory sounds amazing based on the Limit Theory: About page. The infinite universe aspect is mind-boggling (move over Minecraft!). Sorry if my questions are noobish, but I've only really become aware of Limit Theory just now. Could Limit Theory be considered anything like the game that X Rebirth was supposed to be? What is the game model as far as single-player vs multi-player? This looks like it

The ominous cover of Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords caught my eye when I was wandering the games isle in Target several years ago. (The case in question is the CD-sized square one with two Dread Lord ships approaching from the far side of the planet.) For $10 I bought it on a whim, and it's been my favorite game since. I upgraded to GC2:TotA through Steam late 2012. For me, Galactic Civilizations is the greatest 4X turn-based strategy game ever made. I wonder what the future holds

[quote who="ZeroGScott" reply="61" id="3424039"] I really like the the way this looks. I'm getting a Grand Admiral Thrawn/Militaristic vibe from her, which is a good thing to me and makes sense considering the state of the galaxy.

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="5" id="3423832"] I dislike how much she has been changed from Galactic Civilizations 2; they should have invented a new character or made a less radical change to her. I can understand the evolution of Lord Kona, with his balding head, white hair and tired eyes, or even the redesigned Thalan/Hithesius from the trailer ho has only two arms, but taking what is essentially a Human being and essentially giving them whole-body plastic surgery is... o

That's why video games shouldn't have release dates - you can plan when to release it, but you cannot plan when it will be playable. This makes me wonder what they were doing all those 7 years. X Rebirth is SimCity 5 all over again - nice graphics, and that's about it. http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/x-rebirth

Reply to Multiplayer turn based model in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

One problem I see with multiplayer is constructors camping near claimed resources. If the starbase is destroyed, who gets to claim the resource? What if the civ responsible for the destruction of the starbase doesn't have any nearby constructors?
