So.. no bears? Anyway, I'd say that while I like the idea of Camp #1 , it feels.. convoluted , somehow. It needs to be simplified, or have some really, really good UI work done on it. Governors are never good. Governors are always useless. Why? Because they don't do what is optimal. Because they don't know what you want. At the same time, not having Governors turned on could turn it all into a tiresome microfest. I like microing. I rea

[quote who="ckessel" reply="12" id="2117817"]Nice that you love RTS. There's freaking hundreds of RTS games and hybrids out there. RTS lovers have a gazillion choices. No need to go and ruin a turn based game with yet another RTS hybrid. And pausing an RTS periodically is nothing like turn based play. Most every RTS (single player anyway) has pause.

[quote who="Noldofinwe" reply="9" id="2113209"]I hope they won't have a system like you see in most RPG games where you just have only a few basic spells, that upgrade over time. I rather see a huge spell pool like D&D (Baldurs gate, Neverwinter Nights) or a game like Dominions 3 where you have about 600 spells to your exposal, where you can pretty much do anything you want with magic as long as you are powerfull enough[/quote]They should really take a look at spells in Dominions 3.

[quote who="Noldofinwe" reply="3" id="2113210"]I think there should be some external tool that allows you to design your units outside the game. Like pre-setuping your civilization/unit tech tree before you play to let you play with the options and finetune them. And perhaps then you could upload civ templates online and share them with others? :)[/quote]I'd be suprised if that isn't already in. An "external" "Shipyard" was added to GalCiv2 after similar requests, and you'll definately be abl
