Reply to No mini-expansions, big full expansion instead this year in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

ok could gonna be bold here and make a couple of requests for an expansion i would like to see some more map geography, like stellar nurserys, and quasars mayb block holes preventing starbase construction....ect. The game is great but lacks strategy based on permanant anomolies, id like to be able to plan a sneak attack, and go thouugh a nebula, or be forced to go round one.

But there should be missile attack beam attack and mas

Reply to what i would like to see in 1.2 in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

they used to have star gates why not hyper gates for later stages of the game. two would need to be constructed and would be build like an ordinary starbase, with modules for wepaons sensors ect. and if one is distroyed then the other is useless untill it has its counter part reconstructed. It doesnt even have to be instantaniuos travel, you could put your ships in one end and they would recieve a 20/50/100% increase in speed depending on th

because within two weeks it becomes outdated and very few people will ever buy it considering that theres such a cool new version out. And some game companies offer the older version of their games when u buy the new one as a type of bonus. i was just throwing it out there as a cool sugestion

will there be part of the game alowing the player to use the ship creation engine. so they can create outside of playing a game. As if all the technologies were available and just import them as would a saved ship from an older game?
