one thing galciv has going for it is ai. it's not just hard. it's smart.

Reply to MOO3 review (if anyone cares) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

if they had called it something else nobody would have heard of it. think about it. call it stellar emperor with those graphics and it wouldn't have gotten previewed or a big fan base. i have both galciv and moo 3 and galciv is 10x as fun as moo 3 and that's with the galciv beta. but does this forum have thousands of people posting? no. does it get sweetheart reviews on ign? i doubt it. the only reason moo 3 is even beeing discussed is because it was a moo game. moo 3 called something else would

Reply to Looking Good in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

having played 4x games since civ 1, i can say that galciv is the best strategy game i have ever played. and that was the beta. i've heard that a lot of good improvements were made in the rcs and the release probably has even more. during the betas of the game it was amazing how much better each beta would be and how quickly those improvements came. the bonus pack has me really excited because i have seen how much these guys can do in a single month.

not invasion. just with fleets. it sent 3 ships against a fortified position. the ai in that game is broken.

Reply to Hints to increase sales in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

galciv has an uphill battle. i read somewhere brad pointing out that they were doing a lot of what you mention. that he'd travel and visit with game mags and get barely a mention. moo 3 got the cover of game mags. galciv wouldn't even get a mention. galciv's going to be a hit but a sleeper hit me thinks.

Reply to Good post about moo3 vs GalCiv in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

i think many moo players are expecting something different in galciv. i don't want moo flamers here after release. galciv is about building a space-fairing civ. it's not about designing ships. i like the space battles in galciv watching the photons and phasers and stuff go off. but i get the nagging feeling that some moo players are thinking that galciv is what moo 3 was supposed to be. it's not. galciv is what galciv was supposed to be. they are very different games. i've got

the diplomatic engine looks interesting. i'm glad the cheese stuff was removed. was too tempting to rip off minor races.

Reply to MOO 3...what the hell happened? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

galciv already went through its rough time in the beta. the game everyone else gets is more like a galciv 1.5. id be shocked if there are any serious flames here on the game. it's stable. the ai is great. the polish is good. lots of depth. the interface is easier than any other 4x game i've played. seriously any reviewer that gives this game less than 5 stars would be suspect in my mind. i don't say that on games normally. i'm old and not a 'fanboi'. i just know quality when i see it.

Reply to Monday gold? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

as a long time gamer who's played too many games ship before their time, it pleases me to no end to see a game that nailed it before it shipped. hell, you guys could have shipped this a month ago and it would have been more solid than most of the games's i've purchased in recent memory. good job guys you really have a hit on your hands. strat game of the year? i think so.

Reply to Quarter To Three Slams MOO3 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

i was lurking on moo3.com and came across the review. they are all saying that the reviewer just doesn't like complicated games and didn't know what he was doing. but they ignore a key fact: THE REVIEWER WAS ABLE TO WIN MULTIPLE TIMES. if you can win a game by just cranking on the turn button long enough there's something seriously wrong with the "strategy game".

i think 2 months will be too long. but ya i'd wait 3 or 4 weeks after moo 3 is at the store to release.

Great stability! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

i am amazed at the quality this beta has been getting to. most games i buy are a lot less solid than this game. 6 hours of gaming with beta 4z and no crashes yet. it's starting to look like a released game to me.

Reply to Positive feedback - favourite features in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

no you just troll. you critize without giving specifics. i've yet to see even one constructive post by you. you're like a morale leech. start your own thread instead of jumping in this one. the devs need to know what things in the game are working well too.

Reply to Why I think GalCiv is gonna rule the strategy genre in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

LOL. typical master lame. you admit to never finishing a game but you are sure it would be predictable if it was. i concur with hamster. galciv is much less predictable. even when i am sure i have the game locked down towards victory the ai will suprrise you. i've had defeat handed to me when i thought victory was assured and it wasn't because of some random event. i don't see you listed in the top of the metaverse. maybe you should try finishing a game.
