Alternate GalCiv history

from Stardock Forums
I was just the background story in the online manual. My first thought was if the humans of the 22nd century were a little more paranoid, they would've kept the hyper-drive technology for themselves. They could be the ultimate merchants, anything anybody wants as fast as possible! :CONGRAT:

...wouldn't make a very good game, though. LOL

Sigh... no, I said, as the thread title states, Alternate GalCive history. Meaning that the storyline would be different (according to the online manual... which have a different backstory in the final).

So, in an Alternate history, the only race colonizing space to a large degree would be the humans. Good for us, but a bit dull for actual gameplay (no challenge).

I agree, that would have been an interesting scenario. But yea, humans take over galaxy, end of story. ;)

Yeah, humans must be good. Evil humans would have kept the hyperdrives secret, built huge fleets out of Sol system, and then appeared over every alien homeworld :) As you say, end of story :)
