i was checking out the empires and the forums even before i bought the game. the first thing i did when i bought the game after installing stardock central and installing the latest patches, i was on here registering -after that i finally loaded up galciv and played my first game.

i was looking through the list of top players, and there are lots of active players with no empire in the 30,000 - 45,000 score range. to bad they dont read the forums or look at the empire line-ups :( a lot of them i dont remember ever seeing their posts on here, so maybe they are using the newsgroup or some other forum?

im still having trouble imagining a 3D galactic map thats easy to navigate -does anyone have any links to some pics of the user interface of these games? trying to plot all the ships in such a map would seem pretty difficult. i can imagine a solar system map thats 3D however. since solar systems are pretty much flat anyways, so mapping and navigating such a map shouldnt be too difficult.

just submited my first crippling game -one thing i learned is that you cant culture bomb the AI's. that was the first time i had to used a terror star in a long time, i had to practicaly destroy every AI planet with terror stars. by the time i relized that my usual culture bombing wasnt working, all the AIs had huge populations on all their planets -way to high to invade with troops, so i had to go with option B.

is it just me, or is almost every precurser event linked with the star system vizzard? in almost all my games, if there is a precurser planet found that bosts PQ -its on Vizzard, if precurser ships are found -its on a planet in Vizzard. does this happen to anyone else? i know im not imagining this on my games -there are lots of star system names, and i havent played too many games so far, and in most of my games, its almost always Vizzard.

i will have another game to submit shortly, however, i just relized the only way i will win this one is if i build a lot of terror stars first. i usually dont build them and instead opt to culture bomb everything, however this game is going nowhere with my previous strategy.
