For me the GalCiv2 limitation was no mulitiplayer PBEM - easy to play and have time to plan. Nowadays the power of game is a real community to play together or develop the game together with mods. No multiplayer no strong community.

Technological victory off? Why? The tech tree for technology victory is really expensive - what happened if you are attacked by empire where all resources were push into military and its weapon is 50% stronger now than yours?
GalCiv3 Forums
This idea of "infinite" tech tree may be used for all types of technology to improve: - engines power, - missile power, - construction durability, - food / energy production, - resources production (minning), The idea has sense because the player as an empire's leader decides what is more efficient: develop old technology (costs) or develop new technology (costs) or military aggression. There are some "points of no return" where costs of new/old technologies are too expensive for empire.

There are different technologies to research like: Particles -> Lasers -> Plasma -> Phasors -> Distruptors with several levels, but maybe a good option is creating a infinite levels of each of them? Each level is stronger than previous one (for example by 5% and require 5% more research)... What sense of this idea? 1) There no "ultimate" weapon and each race cannot focus at the war "when all technologies discovered". 2) Player decides what is more sense: develop old technology (
Yes, the simultaneous turns are way to go. I plan do not play this game without multiplayer system. Stars! was a extremely good example but have a few poor points. Mechanics of GalCiv may cure it: 1) All games are provided by central host which keep all game informations, 2) Turn are solved simultaneously, with initiative order (the fleets with higher initiative move first). If the initiative is equal, smaller fleet is first. If equals -

[quote]I copied my ideas from another topic, I found that they seemed to get lost in the shuffle so to speek. Anyway, here are my ideas for GalCiv3, feel free to post your constructive comments:[/quote] Sure, for me this game is very close to "ideal". My proposal is: 1) "no grid" - life support is a "fuel" and engines are a "speed" - all ships can be intercepted by "follow the target" (no like go to sector X, Y). 2) multiplayer - hot seat or PBEM. I don't belive tha
I'm Stars! player (this game was relased in 1995 (so now this game is 13 yeards old), and in most countries this game is still very popular. Of course this game has very simple graphics (like MS Excel) but have this small "thing". Stars! is not projected for single player (because the AI is total idiot, I think) but this the main type is "multiplayer" executed by PBEM system. Maximum 10% players are retreated from this game. Why? Sometimes players want to surrender, but this op

1) Multiplayer - why my friends for computer stategy games (10-15 persons) should purchase your game if we cannot play with self? Now only 1 bought :/ 2) Simple editing "template" hulls (copy hulls with all existing elements and copy, move, add or delete element) 3) Simple in-game equipment tee (technology browser) (f.e. all armours, what we need to have X element) - why must I ALWAYS use wikipedia for GalCiv2? Horrible :SNIFF!: And
Still no information about multiplayer? I'm waiting for it as for salvation... And
I hope that multiplayer Play-By-E-Mail will be just available... I want to play with this game with my friends, but they don't want to purchase it because available versions didn't have this mode... And I hope that massive packet will be used to destroy armoured enemy planet!!! Regards And
