GalCiv, if it ever gets done.

[Urban Ranger]

Looks better than MoO 3 though, I am afraid

[Spaced Cowboy]

I don't know about that Ranger, the screenies of MoO3 lately have been looking quite tasty.

Note that I'm not saying that GalCiv will be bad.

[moomin]

I have very high hopes for GalCiv. The OS/2 version is the reason I still have an OS/2 partition around, after all.

[Trifna]

From what I've seen, GalCiv is more "gamish" than MOO which enters more factors to approximate what a galactic empire should be, and tries to be the closer it can to a galactic simulation for players (thus the feeling of ruling, immersion, etc. but also a steeper learning curve). It's a little like comparing Civ3 to Age of Empires (but this case is more extreme). But I'd guess GalCiv, if it comes out (why not?) should bring new elements and pretty cool little game.

Personnally, I stil think I'll prefer MOO3. A little learning doesn't make me afraid when the reward is so great (strategy, etc.). Like StarCraft: complex to master, but after, so much possibilities and fun. And I always prefer immersion and coherence/realism.

[Inverse Icarus]

yea, for a while i was getting galciv and moo3 mixed up (i thought there was one game), but since i saw MOO's Senate and Galciv's "United Planets", i sorted that out.

i honestly dont know which one is (or, will be) "better" , as i've never played any of the precursors of either game.

[vmxa1]

No one can know which will be better at this time. GalCiv has been under way for a very long time and has no publisher behind it, that makes it a bit shakey. Have you heard of Stars: SuperNova? Been in limbo for a very long time, I saw it at E3 about 5 years ago (the same one that had MM7 finished).

[Lee Johnson]

I'm sure Stardock will publish GalCiv online, even if they don't pump boxes into stores right away.

[Blade Runner]

GalCiv got publisher. Strategy First.

[vmxa1]

Cool, I see the logo now. Hope SSG gets one.

[moomin]

Come to think of it, Poly could do a lot worse than to have a Brad Wardell interview. Markos, d'ya hear?

[Straybow]

Pic #9: "The evil Drengin Empire have invaded Yggdradill! …Attacking troops 1.421 Bil …Defending troops 2.717 Bil" Ahhh, shades of the old VGA Planets roots of so many space 4X games.

C'mon, the ships required to transport 1.4 billion soldiers could bombard the planet with scrap to take it over. All these games make transporting whole planetary populations ridiculously easy.

[Atragon]

So? What's so wrong about transporting billions of soldiers, if they've got the entire planetary military defending, and don't want to nuke it from orbit, what other option do they have?

[moomin]

With SF tech to draw on? Infinite.
