So I've played both demoes, and really want an empire building game to sink time into. But I only need one (I only have so much time to waste). I can't decide which would be more enjoyable.
I like Sins because its real-time, seemed easy to get into, and the battles are controllable. But I liked Gal Civ because it seemed like there was so much more depth to the game, with more research, and more done to take care of the empire.
I'm not excited about the way combat happens in GC2... but being that the demos both had time limits, I just barely got to the combat in both games. I've read that Sins games all have a single deciding battle, and its downhill mop up from there. That would disappoint me that it becomes so straight forward. And also so punishing should you make a mistake. I know they're kinda hard comparisons, since one is RTS and the other TBS. But either style is ok for me, I'm just looking for an empire building game. Gal Civ looks to be good, I'm mostly attracted to Sins because its 4x-esque with possibly more interesting combat.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
