Aaaa great! I was stuck for a few days thinking about if i should try Stellaris or Galactic Civ. IV I'm going to watch the video later today and then decide. Thanks for making it in advance!
NGL, I'm going to buy this game based solely on the civilization creator. I want more games to do things like this so I throw money at it. Hopefully the rest of the game is good. The description it generated for the spider bats kind of sounds like what a ten year old with a couple of thesauruses wired straight into his brain would write.
most of the galciv 4 videos on youtube are sponsored by stardock, i am desperately looking for an unbiased opinion on this game, even just an unbiased "let's play" and i can't really find one it does not give me a lot of confidence in the quality of this game nobody is playing without a financial incentive to do so
i played every GalCiv, love it since MoO2 :D it has barely changed over the years.... so you want to see an unbiased opinion about the history of (all) space 4x games..... it's good, there - happy to help (;
I'm not sure, but i believe you can, almost everything but the game internal engine can be modified (faces, alignement, behaviour, ... ), so yes, you should be able to create a race with its own parameters as you please. I believe some of the available "races" are in fact custom builds from successful players. Natural intelligence and Artificial intelligence working hands in hands, of sort 😉
I was really worried when I saw this wasn't showing up on GOG like GalCiv 3 had. Fortunately, though, it's on Epic. Which at this point, is somehow looking slightly less terrible than GOG, and much better than Steam, although it would actually be impressive at this point for someone to screw up badly enough to compare to Steam. Spending 4 years of knowing your platform is causing harm to some users, and not just failing to fix it, not even just directly acknowledging the issue but refusing to fix it, but actively violating privacy rights of affected users and in a couple of cases going so far as to try and coerce (former) customers into self-harm is an impressively high bar for anyone else to clear if they want that apparently-coveted "most abusive PC gaming storefront" title back from Valve...
epic is only an epic fail - everyone petitioned to get the game on Steam and it almost died when it was announced on epic fail ): anywho, GoG are a marvel and we all love them for being best dudes - learn to understand (;
@@xlnt2new Since 2019, Steam has been known by Valve to be causing harm to some users with migraines and epilepsy, two conditions which put affected patients at risk of hospitalisation, and before the end of that year, it was found to be affecting several less severe conditions as well. So far, their response has included refusing to fix it while confirming they're aware it's a problem, violating privacy laws, and harassing and trying to coerce affected customers into self-harm. At this point, even if they fix it, it'll take a lot for me to consider doing anything that results in Valve getting money from me *EVER* again as a result of this. I still have an open support ticket with GOG from July. Of 2020. I've needed several support tickets in the past 3 years, and none has been replied to in under a month, with several contacts taking 4+ to get a reply. In my entire history as a customer with GOG, which is getting close to 15 years now, I'm yet to see the first human reply to a support ticket even be on topic for the question I asked, let alone solve it. As a company, they're not terrible, but they are part of CD Projekt Group, who have been recently pushing into crunch mindset and burning the goodwill they previously earned. None of this says Epic is *GOOD* of course, but when that's what they're competing with, it's not hard to be less terrible than the alternatives. In a reversal of GOG's situation, I've needed to contact Epic support a handful of times now, and every time, their first reply has been relevant, with several contacts being resolved with the first message. As a company, they're not good, obviously, but they're not VALVE bad, and a couple of the more recent issues people took with them legitimately *weren't* actually their fault. Doesn't negate the things that are, of course, but at this stage, they're still less of a problem than the alternatives. The real hero here is itchio, who are better than Epic on Epic's original big selling point of how much money they take from devs, but provide multiple tools for communicating with customers (and unlike Steam and GOG, the ability to turn them off) and have a launcher which doesn't eat half a gig of RAM like the others (Epic's is actually the least broken in this regard these days too, unless you roll back to Galaxy 1.2 - which is sensible for a bunch of other reasons anyway).
Spiderbat, spiderbat, does whatever a spiderbat does. Can he build an interstellar empire, no he can't, he's a bat.
Lookouttttt here comes a spiderbat
anyone else notice the robots back left foot in the opening cutscene rotates funky

Stellaris is GC for kids :) GC2 is hands down if not the best one of the best 4X.
beware... Stellaris is a money grab with their DLCs

Multiplayer is not in yet?
Glad your playing this!
Been on Stellaris but might need to give this a shot.
Thanks.
Figure this out already but none of your trades are going through because you're just sitting done you have to hit accept then done

Can you create your own race in this game instead of picking between the ones on the list? If there is where do you go to make it?

@@shadmtmtn1603 Well I saw a section in the portraits that might give me a hint from this video so I'll look for that when I get this game.
Yup, that's what I spend the first part of the video doing. I talked about several I made previously too.
@@Nookrium Yeah looks like fun!
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
