Smiij, be the Drath. 50% defence bonus, 50% espionage bonus. We pay people to work for us

And yeah, spines/regen is still pretty good, but regen is no longer immortal. instant healing was changed from a toggle to a click power, so after a minute of fighting its gone (no more soloing AVs). And Enhancement Diversification means you can't get +200% in any stat now, so no perma-hasten or perma-MoG.

And spines is basically being kicked in the nuts, repeatedly. Current flavour of the month is Stone tankers (unkillables after 32, saw one mash up 40 purps), Ice/nrg blasters (huge damage at long range, huge at close range), and MA (or claws) SR, especially now SR got a big boost in I7. But I still love Dark Armour, lovely crowd control powers, I handled about 40 red behemoths once (and killed 10, before the sods all launched fire breath at once).

... Back to galciv, Drath pwn. End of.

yes I'm planning on getting SEV, see how it measures up to GC.

By the way a quick question, is there a limit to the amount of posts in a thread?

No limit, we can post away, and away, and awaaaaaay. And We're very close to 472.

Here are some pics

Octagons? [vader]NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO[/vader]

Sorry, the graphics don't compare to galciv2. Is that the final version?

If we hit a limit we'll just start a part 2.

i have no idea, ive wondered too, i mean im sure its possible to some day reach 25 + pages here and i wonder what will happen, ive never seen that many so i dont really know what it will do

Marc it's still in devopment but the octagons will be part of the game, I don't know if you will be able to turn them off. The Upside is it will be fully 3D and be customizable in some ways GC2 is not.

the links seem to need a bit of tweaking... but I got them to view finally... and I agree with Marc, the graphics don't compare with GC2... though it's the gameplay that really matters, so we'll see

GC2s UI is fully customisable, if that's what you mean. Just not easily customisable (have to fiddle about with desktopX and the .x files)

And we beat the sticky! Again! I'm going to grab some tea, w00t.

well it seems we are now on our way to the next 10 pages... and some tea does sound nice...

customizable in what ways?

I did look at the SEV site and at first glance it looks like a clone of GalCiv2, but it seems alot heavier with the UI and it has a little more of a Civilization series touch to it with some of the screenshots.

Yeah I'd play a great game with horrible graphics alot longer than I'd play a horrible game with great graphics.

I thought Faery and Conquest were going to be here tonight too. Or did Psycho scare them off?

yes that is strange, Conquest usually shows up often too...

be happy you got the dodo to enter... (though I had to admit, I couldn't sleep, so I decided to help you guys reach 500 replies)

Faery isn't online right now, dunno about conquest.
