Was Galciv so bad? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi All, Hope no-one takes this personally, but I was very surprised to find myself very frustrated and even angry after coming back to play my GalCiv demo from earlier in the year. At the time I had probably been around Moo3 for the week or so I could be bothered to try and have fun with it. So, GalCiv was a welcome breath of fresh air.

Pretty good, but I have some questions. I read about the updates in Galciv 1.1 and I've been reading a lot in this forum and also in CDG so hopefully these aren't too dumb: In the demo I researched 35 techs, discovering 62 in total. I read there are 150 techs in total, and that the tech research rate has been sped up in general. Doesn't that make it too easy to complete the tech tree in a larger galaxy? I'm only playing in a small with 12ish planets and I've completed 20% of it already.
