Reply to Persistent Display of Planetary Hex Tile Bonuses Please in GalCiv IV Early Access Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

I'm not part of the Alpha, but in GCIII I always thought it a bit unusual that planets had no orbital defenses, minus and spacecraft stationed there. There are planet based shield generators and of course troops, but not any surface to space missiles, beams, or even small attack craft. I realize that takes up valuable land tiles (Which I believe there are not near enough, even on large worlds). Orbital platforms would help alleviate some of that. Just seems a bit arbitrary that nothing happen

The government should have stayed out of the health insurance business. I say this as a veteran with exposure to a single payer system. When you have a country like Sweden (6 million people) or Canada (36 million people) that have populations with mostly strong work ethic, single payer works reasonably well, abet with much higher tax rate than Americans are use to. Now introduce cultures where work ethic might not be so strong, and costs escalate. This is now occurring in places like Germany

When has anyone of any political persuasion ever seen the number of politicians, that never care about anything that wasn't making them money, so involved in anything since Climate Change? I'll tell you. It's the perfect crime. They can suck billions of dollars of taxpayer money over years without ever producing any evidence of any

Reply to How do I win in a large galaxy? in Strategy Stardock Forums

I usually play the Terran's (not rebels) For defending a choke point on large games, I build a star base (or two if deep into the game and complete the research). I max out the fighter, missile, and hull point slots. Just behind it I place another 4-6 fighter bays (all bombers) with defense module, a repair facility or two, and cannons (maxed levels with defensive missiles). Don't rule out minefields, they can channel the enemy where you want them to be (replace them when their lost). All the

I just don't believe they or their faithful see it. For years now I comment a lot on Yahoo, who wouldn't post a positive article on Trump if he cured cancer, and the numbers that fail to grasp it is staggering.

I wonder if the media is aware of how it is damaging itself. If this blows up in their faces, they won't be able to a seat at a Communist Party rally. I'm also concerned by the lack of investigation into the Democrats involvement with the Russians. Seems $500k speaking fee's, uranium deals, and foundation donation aren't getting any love. Not a peep from the media. If we are going to get to the bottom of it, let's look at all of it. The media is way too influential with partisan agendas, and

And we find the Black Church in MS. that was reported to have been spray painted by pro-Trump supporters, turned out to be a church member. Can't even go a week without thinks like the Berkley and NYC riots occurring. What is even more incredible is not that liberals are butthurt over the election, but the longevity of that butthurt. Trump could personally cure cancer and they would still be marching. I wonder if Trump would get the same treatment if he were black? Would the racist label
