Fleet Notes in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Here's an idea I've had. In larger games, I tend to have a lot of ships. A LOT of ships. Fleets all over the place. A huge armada. And so I may set some ships to guard/monitor a certain area. Either on the outskirts of my empire, deep within the territory of other empires, or even watching the supposedly "empty" back ways with no habitable planets that opponents sneak up on you through.

Back to the initial topic we go, because I find that more interesting than "Is the computer cheating?!" I'm suprised no one came up with this comparison: it's a Sirlin thing if you've read anything by him. Anyhow, here's the quote from the article. "A simple rock, paper, scissors (RPS) system of direct counters is a perfectly solid and legitimate basis for a strategy game provided that the rock, paper, and scissors offer unequal risk/rewards.
