"The multiplayer addition would pay for itself". That's your opinion, but not fact. The devs have a different opinion. These types of discussions, while interesting, are little more than circle jerks. Every possible reason to add multi-player have already been presented in the last several months. The ultimate decision lies with Stardock.
High Lord Turin: I sympathize with your desire to have options added to the game. Many posters to this forum have expressed a wide variety of opinions that, in their views, would improve Galciv2. I, myself, have championed tactical combat as an added option. The poll [or polls] previously mentioned allowed forum visitors to vote for the option that they would most like added. A little surprisingly, multi-player wasn't even in the top three. Not surprisingly [to me] tactical combat was the option
Nice.
Nice.
Very interesting. It sounds like you had fun! What difficulty were you playing?
Maxi: I believe I've read in other posts that you are 15 and live in the UK. Care to confirm this for me?
Still full of yourself, ay, Mr. Pad? Keep on insulting; it's what you do best.
Tut-tut Maxi-Pad. There's that insulting tone again. Won't you ever learn?
Maxi-Pad, are you making friends again? Really, for someone that knows a computer inside and out, you certainly are lacking in the social graces.
I'd like to first see real tactical combat implemented and then a workable carrier plan presented. I believe that both of these ideas would enhance Galciv2. And heroine4life the worlds worst troll? Maybe, but Marcanothas [or Maxi-Pad as I like to call him] certainly gives he/she a run for "its" money!
All right Shyang! Another Tak Combat fan! Haven't heard what form Tak will take, just that it won't appear until Galciv3 [I know, that's a long time]. The important thing, though, is that we Takkers get what we've been dreaming of and the No Tak Kombat Klub gets to eat our shorts.
I'd like to see most of the features from the poll implemented in a future expansion or sequel [ and a few that weren't up for a vote such as the option for expanded participation from the minors ]. Some of these I probably wouldn't have much use for but all the choices have their supporters. I've always been a tactical combat proponent and thus was happy with the poll results. I also believe that if Stardock put their heart and soul into coding a tactical AI they would create one quite worthy o
And yet you keep coming back. What happened? Fall off your perch? I suppose it is difficult to stay balanced on that pedestal of yours with that shotgun stuck up your ass. Really, you should spend more time out of your ivory tower down here with us " common folk ". That elitist drivel you were spouting an hour ago was just weak. We all expect more from you than just "Be off with you, peasant ". Come on Maxi-Pad, give us something more!
Maxi-Pad: My you are full of yourself aren't you? Or is that shotgun stuck up your ass making you feel full? I feel bad that you suffer from chronic boredom. But, hey, it's Saturday night. You could always do what you do every other Saturday night for excitement: run to mommy and suckle at her breast.
Hey Megadork.. er... Miccropoop.. um.. Masterbate.. Oh hell, I can't spell or pronounce your name. I think I'll just call you Maxi-Pad. You want me to tell you where you can stick that *loaded shotgun*? At least you've finally started to get down off your high-horse and admit to yourself that Galciv3 will "probably" have tactical combat. Maybe this is your first step towards not living the rest of your life with your head stuck up your ass [instead of that shotgun].
GCFL: disregard about any of Skyjacks posts. He's just another no-takker who apparently likes to hear himself spout bile. Fortunately, as the poll shows and as the forums are beginning to show, his kind aren't nearly as numerous or influential as they once thought.
Morghenes and FROOKIE: The more intelligent and well-thought out opinions you post the better. I'm seeing more and more people no longer afraid to say they also would like tak combat, or are we swaying some of them? Is membership in the No Tak Kombat Klub on the decline? One can only hope! We can all thank Stardock for first giving us a chance to vote on the features we would like to see in the next version of the game and then posting the results. Tak combat RULES!!!
Kingmaker: " Guys they are not .... blah blah blah. " Another poster 100% sure of what stardock is and isn't capable of. Sheesh!
The entire No Tak Kombat Klub could all vote for tactical combat as the feature they'd least like added and it wouldn't make a difference. They'd still be a small minority.
Sneakerback 1: Of course Stardock is considering tak combat for Galciv3. In another thread, Frogboy said he even voted for it in the poll. Don't let the No Tak Kombat Klub blow smoke up your ass. For some reason they all have hard-ons against tak combat. Their arguments usually go in one of two directions: 1. Stardock isn't capable of coding a tactical AI good enough to challenge them [which is rubbish] or 2. any time spent on coding tactical combat isn't time spent working on something they wou

Gormoth1: Your maturity level continues to drop. I see your last post was at 2:07 AM. Shouldn't your Mommy have tucked you into bed by now? Again look at the poll. " mostly everyone will rarely use " indeed. The results clearly indicate that... your wrong!
Iztok: There should be tak combat in Galciv2 to add depth, replayability and fun. Many other things including fleshed-out diplomacy, more races, unique hulls for each race, more ship jewelry and another level or two of participation for the minor races should also be added but tak combat is the most important for me.

By looking at the results of the poll it's obvious that a great many people want tactical combat, and no, there's no practical way to " stuff the poll ". I've said it before and I'll say it again, most of the choises from the poll would make Galciv2 more fun to play so I'd like to see Stardock consider them all. Since I voted for tac combat, that interests me most. Gormoth1: your statement " I'm against having Stardock spend time and resources on a feature I'll rarely use
Frookie: I have to applaud your latest post! You always clearly and intelligently state your opinions. You also usually do this in such a way as not to offend most people. I don't quite have your skill in this. For example: In my opinion, no matter what reasons the No Tak Kombat Klub give for not wanting tactical combat, what it really comes down to is selfishness. They would deny us what we would like so they can have what they want. I can't remember ever seeing a tak supporter post
To col80: What I find "utterly tedious" is the same assinine argument that this game isn't about war and fighting [have you even played the game?] Everyone of my Galciv2 games ends in war, with the AI starting 95% of them. This is why I play the game and I daresay why most people play. From the beginning, I and most other tactical combat supporters have wanted this included as an "option" so that people like you wouldn't be forced to use it if you didn't want to. In return we would o
