[quote quoting="post"] - I miss the somewhat bigger Civ logo for a civ's main planet/home world (compared to other colonies) on the map. - Not sure if I should be able to see other civ's rally points? Esp. when my scout/survey ship moved out of sensor range again. - What I didn't like in GC2 was that sometimes useful stuff (resources, planets) was clustered in one area, with way less in others. Regardless of difficulty level this often meant either a rat

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="4" id="3513554"] I played the Yor a bit and right now I feel the high granularity of their population growth breaks the experience. You only need 1 hammer to grow 0.2 pop a turn constantly. That is a pretty good investment return. By contrast, to get to +0.4 pop a turn you need to pump up quite a bit of factory output. As a result I never want t put more than 1 hammer on pop growth. I feel that if the hammer/growth ratio was more line

[quote who="NGC7000" reply="5" id="3513470"] There are far, far more examples of failed diplomacy due to a lack of trust than the reverse. Trust is the bedrock of diplomacy regardless of edge cases to the contrary. Would you trust the Drengin? Of course not, and neither would I. Nevertheless, from a gameplay point of view they may be sufficiently penalized already, but the fiction suggests otherwise. [/quote] After th
