Poll about game mechanics

from GalCiv2 Forums
After reading and participating in numerous threads about tactical combat, I really have to wonder what most people want. Please don't discuss anything here, just simply state your oppinion. Should GCII continue to be CIV in space? Or, should it be modified to become similar to RTW where you have the option to personally control every battle. Again, no discussion because I doubt it really has any effect on what the game will become. And just post once.

My vote is to keep it the way it is, NO TACTICAL!!

Supreme Diety, let there be no tactical version right now... I have alot of catching up to do as a leader of the Pryde. I cannot afford the necessary time to do tactics.

In a nutshell:

No Tactical

No tactical.

Having the tactical option makes you feel obligated to use it in every battle that matters (because the battles always turn out better than when left to the AI). In large games, I do not want to choose between accepting this obligation or suffering a disadvantage.

It also takes the focus away from the strategic picture.

Since AI tactical is always weaker than a good human, it also penalizes the AI players.

PLEASE, No tactical.

No tactical, with one exception. If it can be done right (the AI is equal to a human in ability) without sacrificing features I do care about, I'm fine with it being optional.
