Galaxy setup

from Stardock Forums
After having a few "war power" games, I think I may have an idea as how to make the game better in terms of technologicaland political victory possible.

In the galaxy setup screen, there could be an option as to what kind of game you want.
I mean, this isnt supposed to be an all out war game, but everytime I play, it degerates into this, which isnt really that fun since the game isnt designed as a pure tactical game.

let me know what you think.

Flemming,

I would check out the historical threads, many many issues have been discussed along these lines. Its not the greatest forum I admit for searching on old topics but you get into a rythmn of checking out the latest - once you catch up on the old ones!

The game is very close to Gamma version now and I can't see many radical new features being added by Stardock to be honest. I think most testers are focusing game on logic, polish and bugs.

Try what we said on your other thread abvout always being at war and I betcha you dont have a war anywhere near as quick ;)

welcome to the game :) I try to play good and win by espionage or destabalizing them so they defect to me. Remember keep your morale up or your economy tanks and a star system might revolt against you. I'm on the largest galaxy, kept the morale up and have switched to star federation, my tax rate is 33% and i'm bringin in over 11000 per turn (most of the galaxy left their gang to join mine) so try lots of things and have fun

It took me awhile to get the hang of it... but by sneaking around the AI I can get away w/out building up a major military power... but then again I am only playing dumb/average AI... game gets too hard for me after that... I like that... games SHOULD be hard on harder difficulties, that way I have alot of room for improvement ;)
