How to set the conditions of Victory?

from Stardock Forums
It would be nice to set the conditions of victory before the game starts. Maybe I have missed something.

Cultural Victory does nothing for me. I would like to go all the way to the last planet standing!

You can't set the victory conditions, they are just implemented in the game from the beginning, and YOU have the option of (trying, hehe) to win in the style you prefer.

I hope that will be changed!!!! Or at least be a choice at the beginning of setup.

Number of computer players should be a choice as well!

I have beta tested a few of these type of games, and both of these items are basic configuration setup choices.

I know these are newbie questions, but I have to ask.

How do you change the race you want to play? Does it mean that you can only play the Terrans?

I don't think that's the way it was with GalCiv OS/2.


I have to say that without a manual to reference, I got into the game fairly easy. That is a very good playability feature. Ease of use! Very small learning curve.

Betaman,
You can only play humans, but you can customize them to your hearts content :-)
As for a manual, there is one online, here :http://www.galciv.com/encyclopedia.asp?action=showpage&page=http://www.galciv.com/docs

or just go to Encyclopedia and press "Game manual"

hope it helps :-)

Betaman,

You can only play the Terrans but you don't have to play against all the alien races. You have the option to remove as many of the alien races as you would like, you do have to leave at least one in play though. :)

The ability to specify what victory conditions you would like to have for a given game has been on the list of desired features for quite a while and at this point the last word from the games creater, Brad Wardell, is that it will be added post 1.0.

The ability to add new features to the game at this point is effectively frozen as Stardock is shooting for an end of Feb. release date.
