And lo! Here's its sequel.Ĭonceptually, it's thankfully very similar ground, which is to be expected. A big, complicated, dedicated, intelligent game of universal domination.Īnd lo! It was good.
While the details of the victory were somewhat less than stirring - in the same way the Biblical David and Goliath story would have been less impressive if David's victory was secured by Goliath walking onto the battlefield, immediately throwing himself off a cliff while punching himself repeatedly in the face - GalCiv was exactly what the space-exploration empire-building beard-sporting kids wanted. In the David corner, a whole development team less than five people. In the towering Goliath corner, a team whose art department was "only" five people. Those pirates stole me 19,99 dollars.The success of the last Galactic Civilizations was hailed as a David and Goliath situation, where Galactic Civilizations managed to out-perform the money-draped Master of Orion III.

I was wipe out in a single attack, and they had lost nothing. But I was finally ready, built 4 pairs of huge destroyers. Some starships were hidden in the corners of the maps. By that time, they had destroyed almost everything I had and moreover, almost everything others had, in the galaxy. I took between 300 and 500 turns to got the technologies to built some presentable units to face them. Their vessels were arround 100 times stronger than mines. It was just returning to normal when another gang of pirates arrived. Took me many many turns to got the technology to take it back. Early in the game, some pirates take one of my planet between two turns.
