Micromanagement isn't such a big deal, the way Galciv 2 does it is perfect, you really start to familiarize and care for the planets. Compare it to Master of Orion I, this seemed ideally low micromanagement, but you start to give less than crap for each planet at an early point. Micromanaging more than 10 planets in MOO1, IMO, was not fun! But Galciv 2 micromanagement is fun! I can relate to Monclova though, managing dozens of captured alien worlds is not so fun. But please don'

Reply to UI--way to get rid of clicks in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I like to add: 5. Being able to see the ships in orbit around a planet in more places. For instance, when I want my border planets to build 1 big defence ship I use that large planet list in demographics (I think.. one of the main UI buttons), but I cannot see if one of those planets already has something in orbit (like several smaller defence ships which are adequate) and I have to close the planet screen and scroll to the planet to find out.

I think 4X Space Battles should become simpler. Imagine a chess board with your fleet on one side (16 ships max per fleet) and the opponents on the other side, and of course the ships would be able to fire from a distance depending on their weapons and move depending on their engines. All just really simplified and all stats expressible in small numbers, so it's all about strategy.

How are you supposed to destroy another empire? If you need 75% of the map to win with 30,000 provinces you need 22,500 provinces with 7,500 taken. That means you have to destroy 2500 players to 3-province-empires. And no more than 2501 can play at the same time (for 8 months long). And you still need a big alliance for alliance victories.. and some people really hate big alliances (or clans).
