Quote:Bought it as well, and you're right, the builder is fun. I like having dedicated huge range scanner ships with fleets of fast and offensive ships to guard my borders, and few games give you so much flexibility when making custom units.
bought GalCiv last night - I love me some civilization style game, and this one is a pretty good example of the species.
_VERY_ pretty, runs damn good on my machine (ymmv), the ship builder..
Lemme just say that the ship builder is like having _all_ the legos. It's not perfect, but boy is it fun.
Another thing I really like is the fact that there are VERY varied ways to succeed. I'm playing a very fun game with now where I'm the mysterious civilisation in a corner with overwhelming technological advantage that no one dares offend.
It's so fun to give the "Plague Cure" to a plague victim in exchange of him going to war with everyone else, I'm pretty sure I only stay invincible because everyone else is too busy fighting to keep up with me.
