Hmm, didn't think much of the gamespot preview compared to the other two.
| The expansion will also address many of the gameplay loopholes that players are exploiting in the current game. The strategy of rushing out and colonizing planets at the beginning of the game is going to be dealt a big hit with the introduction of hazardous environments. |
Damn that colonisation exploit! Damn it to hell! What kind of low, underhand players are going out and colonising planets?
| In the current game, players colonize every planet they can get their hands on, no matter how puny, while the artificial intelligence is more picky, so the result is that the players have a huge economic advantage. |
To be honest, I find the oposite is true. I can't remember the last time I got around to taking the mars type PQ4 planet in my home system before the AI's got it, I'm out looking for the good planets.
And on the subject, what does gamespy mean by saying:
| and for the first time ever in a Gal Civ game, players will be able to design civilizations from the ground up. |
We can make custom races already, do they custom opponents?
Some nice info in there though, I particuarly liked the screenshot of the starship inteligence report screen
