Just take your time. I'd rather have a good patch a few weeks from now than a crappy patch right now. Although the current beta is pretty good, IMO.

I'm afraid I don't quite follow you with the bombardment thing, especially the 'You want to bomb the enemy, use planetary bombardment' line. With the planetary bombardment I meant instead of the invasion options you have now, which seem a bit arbitrary to me. And for the fourth weapon type, why would that mean horrible gameplay?

Who would have won? in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

After another game of being mercilessly slaughtered by the Yor (I'm good at that), I found myself wondering who would have finally won that game.

So I was thinking, would it be possible to add a feature which plays out the game with only the computer players when the human plays has already lost?

This sort of behaviour cannot be tolerated. No more starforce protected games for me. Pity, I was quite looking forward to HOMM5. Oh, well. There's still GalCiv2.
