Possible variation for a new game.

from GalCiv2 Forums
While once thinking about a game of GalCiv2 I remembered an old game I equally loved, Lords Of The Realm 2.
Has the Stardock team ever thought of making a Medieval version of GalCiv2?
The Medieval might lack the extensive tech tree but would offer crating new towns and like.

One thing that might also work well in such a game (as well as galciv) would be to incorperated the threat of an empire breaking appart.

Just some food for thought.

A game already exists like that and it uses a similar game "engine". It's called Civilization 4. Ever heared of it? It's only one of the most popular ever turn based games.

You know, imho that answer didn't made much sense.

But btw. Stardock was (don't know if they're still) searching for a programmer for an unanounced "fantasy" game. Some people hope for a master of magic style game which would be a bit like the medieval game you would want. (But just a little of course.)

Society will be BETTER than galciv2, because it's made by Stardock and Stardock made Galactic Civilizations and it's awesome! Link /fanboymode

But in all seriousness, have you ever looked at society? Yes I know it's not the same as galciv2 (what you asked), but it's looking like a great game on the strategy/diplomacy side of things, with war being the rarity. This will probably be a game for people who love the micromanagement, and not the empire-crushing fun. Plus, to quote Brad

If management is your buzz, this game probably will be one of the best (sadly, they don't expect even the beta out 'til late this year, at the ealiest )

Other than that, there's always civ4. It's very educational sometimes. The insults that some of the people use are fascinating.

Uhm, I *bought* the first version of Civ when it came out. So yes, I do know it.
But civ is not lotr2. If you'd have played it you might have known that.
