Both are great games!

What about EU3?
"should have established some trade routes with them, and it doesn't hurt to gift them a few techs and money when they are at war with someone." Does it make a difference if the proposed ally partner is at war or not when gifting them something? Do they appreciate it more when they are at war? Tip: be careful when joining an alliance, because you can easily get into an universe-wide war if your ally is not very cautious or a warmonger or weak military.

That's strange. right?
Star Trek Birth of the Federation SINS (althought it is rts, it is not as fast as a typical rts)
It is now much cheaper though, about 15 pounds per season.
It appears that at least on amazon.co.uk there is no box edition of DS9 available anymore. Instead you have to purchase all seasons separately. At least the prices are reasonable.
Ice, thanks for the contribution. Good arguments to watch DS9. Perhaps I should try both :).
Interesting thread. Lots of useful suggestions. I also prefer Galciv2 to SOTS (I dont like the focus on ship combat/design in this game, but I like the fact that planet management is not so micro intensive). @Iztok, funny to read that you like Sots. I thought you were die hard Galciv2 player. Why do you prefer it to Galciv 2 at the moment? @Armada 2 players, why do you like it so much? What makes it better than Sins for example? @ dissapointed Distant Words, I rea
How does it compare with Sins, gameplay wise? Is it more click intensive?
Civ is too micro for me.
Very cool this. Thanks!
Fewer screens?
Thanks good to know. Very much appreciated!
Thanks again for all the interesting replies. I might buy B5 soon. It only costs about 60 British pounds for all the episodes, movies, etc. That's nothing if you calculate how much it is per hour watching.
Did you see the out of eight review, it got 8/8!
Wow, I didnt know about this issue. Is it less ocurring in Dark Avatar? Perhaps the developers should fix this in a future patch, if there would every be a new one. The game still sells well, so they should consider some additional effort?
Mambaman, I think a lot people play different games nowadays. Competitors for Galciv2 are all around, think about Sins, Sots, Armada 2526, Lost immortals, and now Distant Words. Nevertheless, I'm convinced that many people will keep trying this game as it is really good (AI and graphics are very good compared to other games). I really like it still since ship design is very simple and ship combat is automated. I woundt mind a new story [e digicons]*_*[/e]
Good initial review Martok. I also don't like the music too much, but you'll get used to it, slowly.
Why would running the game on only one core help. Isnt it better to have it use both cores?
Scoutdog I agree that especially the final seasons of DS9 are great. Gabberkooij, I like that, so I dont mind. It was the same with BSG (which is also great btw)
