Epic story generator

Let's be honest, it's the only feature Elemental is missing. Or at least the only one that matters All I need is a good AI and that and I'm set.

Too much complaining about how they ruined the game by removing/not having a feature. (yes I know it's only a small population of detractors) I have a tendency to buy stardock games on principal though. I like the way they do business and I like them as a company, since Galciv 2 I just bought the game as soon as I heard about it and figured I'd like it. I haven't found one I didn't enjoy yet, flaws or not.

So basically I just wanted to say to the team at Stardock: Keep up the good work! I'm sure I'll love this and future games as well. Don't let the release day craziness get to you and I look forward to the future updates, AI especially.

You do know that you've stabbed new blades into at least some of the devs and/or twisted blades in old wounds, don't you? The GC2 experience along these lines seems to have made the very idea of detailed logging abhorrent to them.

Interesting. I'm actually thinking of proposing something like this for my Senior Design project in CS. If I do maybe I can mod it in

I'm pretty sure most good games can work as epic story generators.

Well, that's not surprising, considering the fact that the first game since GalCiv 2 that stardock has developed was... Elemental.

Nope, I wasn't aware it was such a bad experience. I understand it's probably an entirely impractical idea to implement and I don't expect to see it in this or future games, however I also think it's also one of the best Ideas I've ever heard for a SP strategy game. I was really disappointed when I heard it wasn't actually going to make it in when it was first brought up, but it remains an absolutely awesome idea. Sorry if I hurt any feelings by bringing it up.

Mainly I just wanted to thank the devs b/c I was tired of reading posts from people who didn't understand why their key wasn't working (after several posts seemed to explain the issue) and about how the game wasn't coming early enough.

Well, I meant more all the major games that I saw that came through them, regardless of the fact that Gas powered, Ironclad, or Positech games developed them. Maybe I missed a few in there, but that just means I didn't hear about it coming through Stardock as a publisher...I think that's the right role....anyway, I simply meant that if they were associated with Stardock I assumed they would be good games.

Even discounting expansion packs, there was also Sins of a Solar Empire.

You're thinking of Demigod. Sins they worked together with Ironclad, but both had significant input on the design process.
