.Galciv2 will do that fine thankyou,without the dumbing down.

And Galciv wasnt dumbed down? Oh no! My spacey-ship got hit with enemy spacey-beam and went from 3 pegs to 1! Oh no! Better move spacey-ship back to port to get 2 pegs back.

If Sword of the Stars dumbed down some diplomacy but added real tactical combat, I'd call them both dumbed down in their own way.

If GalCiv "represented" 4x, I wouldn't play 4x anymore.

Pleasure to meet you. *snip* I'll avoid the flame bait.

I checked out the galciv2 website and it does look like it might be closer to what 4x is supposed to be.

Galciv was a complete waste of my time to the point that any game with the name galciv in any part of it has a long way to go to call itself 4x in my book. If they got completely away from galciv, it might be worth something.
