Is it worth it to get GalCiv 1, Altarian Prophecy, and GalCiv II for the storyline in the campaign modes? Or is it simply better to just get Dark Avatar and Twilight of the Arnor for the sake of the most "modernized" updated gameplay, with races that all play differently, and the be
I haven't gotten DA yet, so I just wanted to ask- how were the characters implemented? Were they hero units? Did the expansion have much of a plot?
As I recall, in the original GalCiv2, when you conquered a planet, it means you killed off the entire native population. Will that still happen in DA?
