Think Tanks

from GalCiv2 Forums
Think Tanks. Think Tanks are NOT, mind you, mobile assault vehicles with brains, but like todays think tanks. They stand by you and offer -valuable- advice.

Think Tanks will be optional, and if you decide to use them, they will suggest to you where you should move your ships, what you should research, build, etc,. If done correctly, think tanks could be VERY helpful, as in the game Korsun Pocket where your advisor pointed out possibilities you didnt think of, or they could be like the infamous Clippy of microsoft word.

Yeah, but you'd feel real stupid if you didn't take its advice and then lost.

Don't even joke about putting that little b'stard into a perfectly good game! When you are trying to figure out why Word isn't working properly, the last thing you need is a stupid cartoon paperclip jumping around and offering advise that is never helpful.

Think tanks might well be valuable, especially for new players, but I can tell you right now we won't have time to put something like that into the game.  It would take too long.
