I think this should be included in some "GalCiv update package" with everything in :)
Peanut butter Planets however Haiku never You should have precised what's "Haiku" in your first post, not everyone knows what it is (like poor me).
I thought you could send a package of coke for emergency anti-GalCiv-addiction but it's illegal... This is why I though that adding a timer could be appreciated (MOO3 got the idea from Apolyton in the last weeks). Maybe this timer should also have a "bell" that would "ring" at a given hour you programmed to say you "A benevolent Torian will close your GalCiv session automatically just after you finish this turn, so that you can undergo your minimum everyday sleep/actions." That

;) ;p :p :d :) :D :CONGRAT: HORRAY Brad! Nice to see I'll have finished my work just in time...
There could something like a distribution company that makes exactly the kind of distribution GalCiv has. From there, Blizzard or any game could pass their games.
Was this the question?
I think that with a huge lightbulb you can put ONE Drengin.
I was wondering... Do you think that this way of selling a product, by downloading it on the Internet, could be used for other games too? Would perhaps Blizzard and Electronic Arts be able to do like this? Is it possible to see them do so in the future?
PLZ PLZ PLZ Brad, can you give a daily fix? Anything. I have to wait 4 days now and I'm close to count hours. :CONGRAT:
How incredible... these guys are the same that put GalCiv flyers into MOO3 boxes! :notsure: Yup, this smiley says it all: notsure What's THAT?! Heck... were they the perfect person to put on something so important in intelligent-gaming history as MOO3? *?!?*
Is there any limitation about burning GalCiv on CD, once downloaded? It just costs less than buying it physically.
Just to mention that a conversation on some ways how it could work is at Apolyton: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=80958
erm... ok well then the same idea with stars. /me is shy of his heresy... I subscribed too late for beta :sniff!:
Just an idea for GalCiv 1.1: a unit we know is terror star. I just guess that some lighter models could exist... So they'd destroy bigger if they're bigger. I'm proposing this since in reality empires would rapidly learn to build little models for when it is better for them... They'll take more time to destroy the biggest planets, thats all :P Besides, is there a place for GalCiv 1.x ideas? Am I just too early? :P
Linux orbital station, ready to attack!
Besides, in the case of Dune these were knives battles, since in the Duniverse battles are mainly with blades (some shields are blocking what comes too fast or is laser).
Coming from Frank Herbert's Dune again... A proposition to end a problem/war by a battle between only a few to limit the damage on everyone. In Dune, these battles are battles between rulers or people of their families (nobles) but it could be a Chess game, a dice roll or whattever... Anything that makes sense. It may have happened in history in very exhausting or potentially exhausting wars/battles. Like David and Goliath. The question remains: what would decide of the winner?... no idea. I
Nice since it's really an element of politics :)
Besides, this can include the "terrorism" idea given somewhere else on the board. It includes any independent group. An independent group can even be created/helped by intelligence I guess.
Besides, all these groups can have intelligence networks. Some of them can have an influence on your parliament (mafia infiltrates politicians, etc.)
Everything consisting of independant organizations within your empire could be considered: - Secret societies - Religious-based groups with influence (type Scientology on google, you'll see) - Corporation-based groups (they could even try to take their investments elsewhere if they're not pleased) - Citizen organizations (Greenpeace...) - Criminal organizations - others Of course, it's not necessarily only about "There is an independant political force named
Sometimes groups that are independant from the government can give a hand or be a bunch of trouble. A good exemple of this would be these secret societies that were ploting against medieval monarchies. Another good exemple are corportions and groups form by them (sorta Recording Industries Association of America, in bigger/more important). I don't know if it could be something incorpored in GalCiv 1.3 or soemthing ;) Exemples of groups: - Secret societies - Religious-based group
