Frogboy has stated several times that the only way tactical combat would ever find its way into GC2 would be IF they could create an AI good enough to beat human players on a regular basis. Agreed - unconditionally. Does that mean somebodies working on it right now? (fairies and unicorns again <img

like a lot of people out there i have played moo2 and really liked it. (I failed one of my modules at uni because of Moo2, still don't regret it though). Galciv 2 on the other hand might well have cost me my degree! This is a superior game to moo2 for a number of reasons which i'll go into, but i want to make this statement first: "I think that having tactical combat included into the game would make GC2 possibly the best game ev
