Under pressure.

from GalCiv4 Forums

The Col rush phase of this feels so much worse than 3. I am desperate to lock down possible core worlds before the AI and my sector started with three AI and myself I missed one by one turn. I know the idea is to reduce micromanagement but I’m feeling really pressured. In three if I lost a world to the AI there were others to settle even if it was a class 25 beautiful world it didn’t make me consider rerolling. 

I really like an exploration phase and I’m not getting it in this game it feels like a mad dash. I’m gonna up the map size and see what happens. If there was a way to set the number of people per sector it might make everyone happy. Those who wanted a knife fight from the get go. Those who wanted at least someone in their sector and those of us who wanted a start sector devoid of major civilizations except themselves.

 

Also a number of sectors selector would just be amazing. Like 10 to 15. 16 to 20. 

I am ignorant to how hard these changes would be but I know I would enjoy them immensely and I do not think I am alone.

What is everyone else’s experiences?

Game 4 found two players by turn 6

Game 5 lost a Col ship and Discovery by turn 6 found three AI by turn 25

Game 6 turned Galaxy to beginner (feels like a buster) also I don’t think this effects space monsters or precursors. ( Now I am almost certain it doesn’t found so many nests I couldn’t believe it.)  Found Yor turn 4. Lost Col ship and discovery turn 8. Lost second Col ship turn 10. Found second AI turn 19.

Game 7 Found AI turn 4. Found the second AI turn 5.

Gamr 8 Found AI turn 5. ( Beat their Colony ship by one turn, I had changed the humans around so that they got two extra moves and I think this is the only reason I was able to snag this core world.) Found second AI turn 7. Snagged 5 cores with heavily gambling I put them into planets with nest and immediately put governors on them so they couldn’t be invaded. Noticed the other AIs all started in their own sector once I built the eye of the universe. Ima play this one out and see how it goes.
