Reply to GREAT DEAL!!!! $34.90 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Although I don't work for Stardock here is my understanding.

Reply to What you get if you download? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Reply to what about a civ that has a government that does not use money? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

With any requested change I would suggest running it through this type of filter. What would it add to the game play and how would you implement it.
