Regarding my only suggestion so far: Use nebulae to provide shape to the map Asteroids, nebulae and dust clouds currently offer very little in terms of affecting the terrain and shape of the map. Are there any plans to improve the terrain and how it affects the map, to avoid an essentially empty and shapeless one each game?

[Suggestion] Use nebulae to provide shape to the map in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Hi, I don't usually post on any forum, but I'd like to throw in my two cents regarding the map terrain and how I think it could be improved to make the map feel less empty. As far as I'm aware, dust clouds and nebula (not sure why there are two different things in game for the same thing) only affect ships that travel within them. If they were to block sensor line of sight regardless of the ships being in them or not, they would offer a greater impact to the

4X can absolutely be fun multiplayer. People should stop dismissing it - any game (especially 4X) is much more fun to play with a friend along for the ride. Teaming up against the AI is the only way I play Civ5. I find it empty without another human in the same world.

I think Zydor might be guilty of this. He just keeps repeating his "it's not a shoot-them-up" and "hell freezes over first" lines when people discuss more involved combat, yet not once has anyone ever suggested anything of the like.

Civ 5 is only a click war if you fail to take into account what could happen next turn if your opponent is able to act before you. You should keep that in consideration when actually developing and playing out your strategy.

Providing there is an option for simultaneous turns, it's almost like any other long strategy game (that you need to play over several sessions).

I'd be happy if it was as simple as Civilizations simultaneous turns (Humans take turns at the same time, then AI go sequentially). Of course a slight improvement to that is Civ 5's 'Hybrid turn mode' that was introduced in the Brave New World expansion.

Thank you so soooooo much for bothering with Multiplayer now [e digicons] I absolutely love Galciv II, but never really bother with it because of a lack of an ability to play it with a friend or two over a weekend. Multiplayer is currently the best news coming from this announcement so far, and I really don't see it being beaten by anything. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Yaay multiplayer Galciv!

Reply to Having Trouble Understanding the Combat System in War of Magic Elemental Forums

With patch 1.1, I believe they are planning on overhauling the combat, so fear not. There have been many good ideas on this forum for how to improve the mechanics, and I am confident that all of these good ideas are not falling on deaf ears. Stardock are good when it comes to improving a game where it needs improving. I'm confident they'll do right given enough time.
