GCII still a *little* inspired by Twilight Imperium? Hope so. :)

I sure wish I had had time to contribute to the beta testing. However, just a little checking in to say it's preordered, and I'll certainly give this game a thorough test spin when it's in my grubby little hands.

Here's hoping the political game (both domestic and interstellar) wasn't overlooked too much...

Congrats to Stardock for their innovative apprpoach to everything. The only company out there that commands any respect from me anymore.

GC1 was inspired by Civilization..... this is that a further expansion on that.

uh.. thanks. Uh... Brad sorta liked Twilight Imperium too... as a designer.

TI came out with new rules awhile back, knowing Brad as a game designer, he probably took a look at the rules and thought about em a little.

IOW: *lots* of things inspire game design. Not just one or another game.

GalCiv I on OS/2 was inspired by Civ.  But the Windows version (2003) was heavily influenced by Twiligth Imperium.

GalCiv II has elements from a lot of different places.
