Agreed  I just couldn't let a comparison with MOO3/SE4 on one side and GalCiv on the other stand there. As you said yourself:

IMO, one of the major aspects of a 4X game is critical design decisions.

...and exactly these I'm missing in MOO3. You may have a few decisions, but not critical ones. Its like you are sitting in a rowboat tied to a supertanker. If you want to head in the same direction as the captain (=AI) of the tanker, fine, you will find that the tanker is actually helping you to reach your destination as fast and as efficient as possible. Just do not try to steer a different course... |
