Whether or not the Altarians are considered a "good" race within Galcciv2 cannon is hardly of a concern to me. Like I've said I've forgone some of the cannon and modified at times to better serve the needs of my story. I stress this fact because i've never really taken heed of the actual Galciv 2 story when writing the chapters. If your comment, mambaman, pertains to the fact that it is surprising that the Altarians have declared war on almost everyone in-game, rest assure

Gray Rock Sol system The Moon The first thing Klaus Muckler had done was to order the crew of Quebec to the showers. These men had gone through hell and Muckler didn't need to hear their stories to be able to tell. The captain of the crew, Sebastien Nolan, intrigued him. He had met Nolan once before during a briefing on Pearson NS prior to the opening of hostilities against the Drengin Empire. Bradshaw had seen something in this merchant mar

lol yes the Halifax class frigates are all named after Canadian cities. I like to keep the same type of names for the same classes of ships that way when a name pops up I know exactly what type of ship it is.

I think paper tiger may have been the right choice of words there... The Thalans at the start was at war with every single other race. Now in the AAR I made it seem as though it was the Federation that was under pressure from the other powers to go to war with the Thalans. Thee fact is that in-game i bribed every single race save two to declare war on the Thalans knowing that I would have the greatest chance of success in the said war because the Thalans and I were close and I would have the

Earth Sol System Harbin Shipyards High Orbit over Earth Klaus Muckler's shuttle raced towards the missile frigate TFS Inconstant. nestled just under the frigate was the Imperial cargo ship of Drengin design. Painted in purple and gold, the royal colours of House Korath, the shuttle was clamped to the belly of the frigate. The frigate's hangar bay doors opened and allowed the Oberkommander's shuttle, flanked by its escort of SF-112s

Earth Sol System Harbin Shipyards High Orbit over Earth The shuttle flew silently, flanked by four SF-112s past the gigantic spatial locks, constructors, and ship builders making up the vast complex of the Harbin Shipyards. The shipyards were responsible for over seventy percent of all tonnage built within the Sol System. The impressive complex was responsible for building both merchant vessels and Navy warships.

That's one of my flaws when I write. I like to think that the present tense makes the situation perhaps more dramatic and adds flavour, however I am aware that changing tenses in the same piece is not correct. Sometimes I do it without even noticing unfortunately.

A link was posted if you look back. I will briefly explain my problem with your post and then stop talkign about it all together as I drop the subject. I have no problem with you giving me your thoughts on the games that are on the list and whether you would have replaced certain games by others and furthermore giving me your experiences of whatever games you may have played, etc. The issue lies with the fact that your post simply attacked the legitimacy or the objectivism of such lis

Another usefull comment on the list I see. Is part of growing up also not being able to follow guidelines? If so I suggest you wait a few more years until you are passed adolescence before making comments about maturity and `growing up`.

@scratch the pitch: I made comments of my own at the beginning regarding the usefulness of lists like this one. if you dont like them or have nothing to comment on the actual rankings of this list please refrain from comments like the one you posted. It was exactly posts like that one that I was hoping to avoid on the thread. About SupCom. I'm a little surprised that SupCom would make it but not Total Annihilation, which is its spiritual predecessor if you will. TA shou

@Torinreborn: I clicked on the impulse news link talking about how GalCiv2 was in the top 100. Here is the link. http://www.gamesradar.com/f/pc-gamers-top-100-pc-games-of-all-time/a-2010012911133649022/p-2 @Emerson: Rollercoaster Tycoon probably should have been up there as well. As you say the subgenre of city building was pioneered by this game and it was fantastic. good point.

In the interest of starting a little conversation and because I have some time to kill, Im just going to tell you guys how I feel about the list. This does not in any way mean that I am right and they are wrong or vice-versa, but rather what I agree and do not agree with. I know that when talking about video games ranking there are as many opinions as there are games so let's stay objective on that. #98: COD4: Yea a pretty good game. very good first person shooter which kind of
