I agree there should be some involvement with these 'choices'. Bare minimum for gain involving a building tile in use to achieve the planet wide gain. Since many of the good choices involve losing a strategic gain, there should be some possible consequence to enslavement or other nastiness. Revolt of slaves. <span style="font-s
Remember the immortal words of Ron White. You can't fix stupid! The world is full of stupid people, all you can do is ignore them....and the price is fair to get all the DLCs included. Game plus 2 DLCs (minimum knowing Brad) = 90 dollars so.....
Having played all the GalCiv games (and other frogboy games), I wish you would make a simple change to your AI controls. Stop connecting the strength of the AI to the PERCENTAGE CHEATS. Have One slider decide how much help you or the AI gets with military, tech, monitary, ect. (the CHEAT/NIGHTMARE slider) Have ANOTHER SLIDER decide on the strength of the AI (how many of its algorithms will be used).
