[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="10" id="3451783"] It will be my pleasure to bypass any diplomacy with you in a 1v1 on a tiny map. [/quote] I remember you said you live in Quebec. For that... YOU WILL DIE. ALL THAT YOU KNOW WILL DIE.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="3451779"] I think the biggest surprise will be the multiplayer. The nature of GalCiv (on tiny maps in 1 v 1 games) works out remarkably well.[/quote] I hope you make the multiplayer scale well with larger maps as well, preferably with a very strong element of diplomacy. I'm really looking forward to that. Do it for ParagonRenegade Brad, do it for me .
Nope. We're stuck with the Altarians, Drengin, Terrans and Iridium

Yes! I can play as the gorgeous Altarian again! :D Hooray for violent xenophobia!
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="3451767"] Most of the new features won't be in the Alpha. The Alpha will be very very basic. [/quote] You devs just love dangling this promise of amazing game mechanics in front of me like raw meat in front of a starving dog.
I'll be playing the alpha in less than 24 hours, and it still seems too far away

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="9" id="3451633"] I love it when Italian Canadians complain about Justin bieber and rob ford(bigger lol.) [/quote] Must've been my nono, lol. That bitter, cynical old fool looks sweet and innocent but under that facade lies... A BRUTAL KILLER.

I've come to expect campy characterizations of major races that can be summarized in a single sentence; Terran Alliance: Human Faction. Altarian Republic: Suffer from STD (Star Trek Disorder, look like Humans), Do-gooders. Torian Confederation: Vengeful former slaves. Krynn Consulate: Hyper-religious theocracy dedicated to proselytizing. Drengin Empire: Evil main antagonists dedicated to slaughter and mayhem. etc... While I would obj
[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="1" id="3451591"] the winter had two separate week long stretches of -40 degree cold. Even without calculating wind chill into it.[/quote] I love it when Americans complain about the cold, it makes me heartily lol
I recommend against getting the alpha package if you've only recently heard of the series, it's an acquired taste for sure.

[quote who="bornloser" reply="97" id="3451511"] Huh, guess that's what I get for always building cultural starbases.[/quote] Proper use of starbases could buff your ships to be five times as powerful, make your planets produce five times as much and slow enemy ships' movement to a crawl. I personally found a way to make a 'slingshot' array of starbases, where I made a bunch of military bases with ship speed buffs. When I placed a fleet in the right spot,
[quote who="kryo" reply="23" id="3451572"] Yep. The critical distinction is that the DL stars list doesn't have me in it. I didn't get mine until DA [/quote] I always blow up Kryo and Wardell with terror stars :3
[quote who="UnleashedElf" reply="42" id="3451362"] What is the state of planetary invasions and ship combat in the alpha?[/quote] Invasions are auto-resolved and non-existent :c I'm not sure about combat.

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="4" id="3451210"] "Moar"?? It is obvious you don't mean "more", so what do you mean? Is this an acronym of some sort?[/quote] Old timers these days! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] "Moar" is just an asshole way of saying 'more'. It also just... feels right.
[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="165" id="3451200"] Do you remember where StarDock mentioned this? [/quote] No, but it was Brad. He said something along the lines of "We're letting players mod much more this time around, from anomalies to events to mapsizes..." (Cue Guanathor with relevant quote)
Cool video! Needs moar details! Moar length! MOAR everything!
?@!?!?!?!?!?!?!? :D!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a horrible, crippling feeling gnawing at me, telling me that the game is going to become my new obsession and consume my time like... a time-consuming thingy. Thousands of hours if GCII is any indication. I can see it now, dashing and/or limping home from my classes to see if a new build is released, only to see that there's nothing :'C

Now that I've reawakened a two month old thread, I shall go and hang my head in shame somewhere.[/quote] Shame on you! How dare you necro a thread less than a month old! :3 Anyhows, welcome, but please remember we have a frater
