Griss Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 What's the matter Binky, SuperNova got you down? You say you finished your new orders 3 hours after you got your last result? You've got to get your fix and your lady won't spring for a fifth Empire setup? You tell me pulling weeds and picking up dog poop just doesn't cut it for you on the weekend? You'd rather blow up planets than take your gal for a ride in the country (if you know what I mean ) Well don't you worry friend, cause there's help on the way. Pick up a copy of Galactic Civilization (Strategy First/Stardock) and click your way to sci-fi heaven. Anyone else play this game? Any other good colonize-construct & conquest game recommended?

EternusIV Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Thats a super interesting game I picked it up but have been too busy with other gaming interests within my gaming schedule. As far as build/colonizers MAster of Orion III is fun although its a bit tricky to learn....terrible interface. I wouldn't recommend it. I like MMPORGS a whole bunch. The sci-fi ones I recommend are: Planetside (FPS type on a team scale...lots of action) Star Wars Galaxies (Interesting content...lots of timesinks though) and by far my favorite EVE (Build a ship and intergalactic wealth on a personal level) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griss Posted July 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 I wish I could try a MMPORGS but no time or money. GalCiv is easy, and the smaller maps can be played quickly... If only those darn citizens weren't so moody, keeping their morale up is tricky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiver Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 I still like the old game "Stars!" by Empire Interactive...but I heard Galactic Civilization is good. I've gotta get that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternusIV Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 Stars! I almost tried that one I still have a little sentimentality for.... Spaceword Ho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowKitsune Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 Spaceward Ho! ... eh? So if I see a ship class of Scouty, it'll be yours? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark weston Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 Space Empire IV is excellent. It looks primitive at first, but it makes for a really interesting, thoughtful game. The AI is rubbish, once you've learnt how to play, but it works very well multiplayer, and it's easy to find games at www.pbw.cc and play them by e-mail. It's also very moddable, so there are many interesting revisions of the game to play with, including player attempts to improve AI competitiveness.

ShadowKitsune Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 I like SE:IV (haven't sprung for SE:Gold ) very much, but I have to agree that the AI is horribly predictable after you play the game a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternusIV Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 MAster of Orion II > MAster of Orion III? Interesting evolution into MOO III....strange interface. And I WAS very tempted to name SOMEHTING "Scouty" That was a fun and dorky little game. I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locklyn Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 I quite enjoy Galactic Civilisations. It gives a challenge and has whupped me at the higher levels quite a few times when I'm not paying attention and I personally like an AI that starts wondering why I am massing troop transports near his most valuable world MOO II was wonderful in the ship design system, too bad the MOO III got lost in menu land /Locklyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
