Heh! Well, don't mistake me for saying those are the only two characters I like... Don't worry, I knew what you meant. I'm just saying that for myself, I doubt I could even say which character was my "favorite", as there are so many deserving of that distinction! <TABLE ce
Playing a little Medieval Total War and BotF, catching up on my reading a bit, finish setting up my new room (just moved to Minneapolis), checking the forums at least 3 times a day.....
I'm also a Foundation fan, if it helps any. Hari Seldon was my favorite character, along with Arkady in Second Foundation. Hey Jeysie, nice to see another one. I'm impressed you managed to narrow down your list to just two characters, though--I don't know that I could do the same! The
Greetings, Wolfgang. Welcome to the pack!
No tactical combat unless it can be done well. Couldn't have said it better myself, Apoc. No tactical.
Wow, I can't believe all the Foundation fans we have here! I realize there's probably only a few of us on this board overall, but there's only two other people I know of that had read the series besides myself; so I'm astonished to suddenly see so many of us come out of the woodwork. That's awesome. I myself was introduced to the series by my high school librarian (she knew I had a bit of a sci-fi bent), and I was imme

At this point, my anticipation is so high that I'm afraid it might result in premature capitulation when I first play... LOL!! ]{aliban, you crack me up.
Well I'm certainly all for a Star Trek Mod. BotF is still one of my favorite games (even with all its myriad flaws), but I admit it's been getting a little old for me the last couple years. Since there seems to be virtually no chance of a sequel being made at this point, I say "bring it on"! My first shot at a custom race was The Foundation with home p
Another interesting read, Brad. Thanks for letting us ride "shotgun" on another chapter of H-D Wars. And good luck getting the Rating differential down to 0!!
Michigan, nice state. But ya reaaaaaaally should move to Minnesota and the Twin Cities. (That way we would have an awesome developer like yourself.) Indeed! Now if only wishing made it so.... [sigh]
kinda offtopic but in the video you said that you rotated the game by holding down the middle mouse button now i only have the left right setup so how do i get that control that you had with the rotation? I second this question as well. Great video, by the way! Now I want this game even more! I laughed out loud when you called th
Martok: That "spoof-ad" was actually made by a GalCiv forum-goer a few years back. IIRC, he also did a series of GalCiv inspired comics (can't remember the users name unfortunatly). I'll try to dig it up! That would be awesome, BoogieBac. I'm kind of disturbed I didn't notice any of that stuff before, though, as I've been lurking around the f

I won't bore anyone with the details as to why, but I wound up having to cancel my original pre-order for the game. I'm going to replace my pre-order either tomorrow or Friday regardless, but I just wanted to know if I'll still be able to get the extra goodies (Tech tree, extra ship pieces, etc.) at this point. Please tell me I'm not too late!!
Over here at the office we're all sharing a 3 megabit connection. It's painful. Ouch, man. Even my home connection is faster than that (although nowhere near RichVR's, I suspect). You have my pity.
What on Earth possesed you to post this here of all places? That's kind of what I was wondering. I'm starting to think that perhaps he started this thread as a prank on the rest of us.
I don't understand why anyone is arguing against inclusion of user controlled tactical combat in an expansion pack. Because then Brad would have to program a whole new combat AI, as otherwise it would be way too easy for the human player to win most of the battles. Given all that he already has on his plate, I very much doubt he really has the
Nice! I clicked on the link for Society for the first time. I hadn't check it out until now....and I rather wish I hadn't at all! MMO games generally don't appeal to me, but I think I might have finally found an exception to the rule. It's sort of like Mankind, except that it all takes place on a single world instead of in a galaxy of millions of star systems. Sort of like a persistent online RTS version of Civ, except more....personal, for lack of a better word. And now I have
Am I the only one that noticed this? "So do you play the Torians and go for vengeance against the Drengin? Do you play as the Thalan who have come from the an alternative future that exists in the Galactic Civilizations III timeline and snuff out the Terran Alliance before they destroy the universe?" How exactly do we destroy the universe? If the uni
Tutorial first, then about 50% of the campaign before I decide to try out the sandbox/skirmish/personalized/? mode and completely forget about the campaign until a year or more later. That's my typical pattern at least. LOL. Don't feel bad, Crustacean; I've done the same thing myself.
I'll play the campaign first for the story.I hope the Dreadlords also appear in the sandbox mode. Brad has said the Dreadlords *currently* do not show up in sandbox mode. However, a number of people have requested the ability to "toggle" them so that they can appear in sandbox mode (kind of like how you could choose whether the Borg appear in
Very nice, Brad! I was also interested about the part with the Drengin-backed Xendar attacking Earth colonies. Was this a part of the Altarian Prophecy expansion pack? (I confess I never did get the expansion, so I missed that part.)
[applauds] Bravo! Bravissimi !! I don't know Brad. You might be good at making games and other software, but I think you might have missed your calling as a storyteller! I have to admit that this is one of the most compelling backstories I've ever seen for a sci-fi game of any sort (strategy game or otherwise). I especially enjoyed the story of Lorina Gates, Lt. Bradley, and the attempted theft of the TAS Defender; even if it was only the condensed version. Eithe
Heh; I love this place. Brad and Stardock simply rule.

I'm becoming a fanboi. [zombie voice] Come....join us..... Don't be afraid.....
Birth of the federation Ah, a man after my own heart! The last couple months, I've been playing it more than I have in a good while. The impending release of GalCiv 2 has been giving me that itch for space 4x games again, and BotF is the best way for me scratch it a bit--at least for the moment. <img src="smiles/Wink.gif" border=0 ALIGN="
