Believe it or not Prison Labor is the equivalent of Serfdom since they make 70 cents an hour. It's the people who only get caught with a roach they turn into slaves at qoute on qoute "Trustee camps".

The only thing I think that would make every game magazine rate Twilight of the Arnor as the number one game of the year with straight tens. Is to do exactly what they are doing now, I'm licking my chops to see the independent tech-tree's, plus resize the ships to actual size in combat. Not on the regular screen, but just in combat and the shipyard. If they do this plus tweak and build on the espionage ability and adjust some of the planetary improvement values (galactic resort, secret police

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pumped to get the new expansion pack. This AI is so superior to anything on the market right now. I can't lie and say that I possess a 360 or PS3, and I'm not sure what programmers are doing with Halo 3's AI. I do assume it's good. I haven't seen to many games work like this one though. I.E. I have a game going on in a small galaxy, and with only a normal intelligence level. Well I sent in my super expensive, and decked out Troop Transports in ahead of m

Yeah the Krynn are definitely a force to reckon with as far as their AI, but playing them seems like a disadvantage. Everyone hates you no ones scared of you, your poor, and espionage needs to be tweaked to be affective. I've also had KORX AI kick me down the street, but they have a relatively weak Super Ability. I mean it's stronger then the espionage, and it's really cool to have all trade abilities, but it tends to be weaker then the other ones. GalCiv 2 to me is better then Civ

You know I haven't used the counter espionage center. I will have to focus on building one next game. What do you personally feel is the stronger game... Galactic Civilizations 2 or Civilizations 4? Now Civ 4 has two sweet expansion packs, but for me building a library and only having like 15 different attack units is lame compared to the Sci Fi aspects of Gal Civ. Being Klingon's and soon having their own technology like slave pits (enterprise's captain archer was in one of those). At the

At the very least I believe the Krynn's Super Ability needs to be worked on. Simply because starting the game with 1 spiy shadows in potentcy compared to always get first attack or super diplomat. They are my favorite designed race except for they're super ability. Every other race has a bomb-diggity super ability except them. If not tweak their super ability then what would be even better is to tweak how you use espionage. For instance here are some idea's: Passive: Can See S

I definitly agree with sliding scale. Also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (I'm on my knee's begging) keep the Right of Passage Treaty. I think Espionage needs to be improved, because current espionage isn't as potent as let's ay having the ability to cause a planetary revolt or foment unhappines. Uhm not to pick at the game. I'm all for having less knowledge and mine fields about the other races. Most importantly I think sneak attacks should be allowed simply because the more open and n

Please in the new update work on the espionage skill. There is soooo much potential with it, but the current espionage in Dark Avatar is not as potent as they could be. I have a list of idea's and strongly urge you to use them in the new expansion pack, because I think they would seriously add on to the game.

I LOVE YOU GUYS, BECAUSE YOU LOVE US "JOHN Q GALACTIC CIVHEADS". That's why I have to tell you that this new patch is a step backward. The game is actually running slower (much much much slower). A lot of the old bugs are back... Remember Spore Ship soup (mmm greeny goodness mmm). I also haven't caught any benefits worth the new slowdown and minor bugs. PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU DON'T CONTINUE FORTH WITH WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. I'm sorry if you put a lot of work into it, but there is something m

Ever since I installed the newest version 1.61 my ships stopped giving exhaust trails during combat. On occasion one type of vehicles will have exhaust engine trails, but the others won't. I checked the option and I do not have it disabled. So I should have trails. Please help I need them to see how fast the ships are going. The trails makes the battles more interesting.

FOR INSTANCE: Look at all of the trouble you went through to make the game playable for low-end video cards. To those of us who went out and bought a faster video card just for your game (Including myself) it might not seem like a big deal that you just paid your programmers a decent sized paycheck just to make this game run faster for people with a Nvidia 4 Mx 64-bit videocard, but it is considering most companies use a collateral damage worksheet to decide if it is a profit efficient tactic.

I am your biggest fan Frogboy. I don't know if anyone else has requested this, but can I get a autographed picture of your building? Just wondering.

I have 100 bucks screaming that PS3 is going to try and buy the rights to Sins of a Solar Empire if 360 doesn't do it first. That game will be too difficult to manage with the limited amount of buttons the 360 has, but I dont see a big problem with the PS3. You might be right, but if you remember what they did to starcraft on the Nin64 which was half slaughter half innovation. Did you see the C&C:TW3 ads for the

Just checked out Society too. I heard someone griping about it not being a Sci-Fi version, but I think you have a great idea on your hands. In fact if I'm not mistaken Stargate: Atlantis had an episode with a similar game that started in the same time period. Be forewarned future society players your about to get stomped.

If someone from Stardock reads this can you please give us some kind of hint on your next TBS. I'll get it regardless, because I'm like Stardocks biggest fan. I like how you operate, but I'm just always very curious on what you are up to. Oh by the way Sins of a Solar Empire looks so good I'm surprised it's not a mmorpg. You are going to blow everything out of the water then. So please don't go all "rockstar" on us (literally like the game company) and keep to your roots homies. I have 100
