Reply to Newbie: Trade 101 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

You start out with 2 trade routes. I seem to get the UP resolution about increasing trade routes by 2 very often so that increases that to 4. Other then that you have to research trade techs. Its not really that bad having only a few trade routes if you trade exclusively with one civ, since then they will usually send majority of their freighters to you giving you extra income.

Time Limit in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Is there a time limit in this game? I'm new to GC but I'm really hyped up. I play alot of CivIII lately and it really bugs me that the game ends on year 2050. Is there something like this in GC? Or can you play for as long as it takes you to win by the method of your choosing? ~SDC~
