I understand that there will be some major diplomatic changes when speaking to other races through the viewscreens, but will there be any change in the animation? Like in GalCiv 2, will the race leaders be animated and move? It would be a nice touch, and what would be even better is if they moved around when you suggest deals, for example, when you're selecting technologies to trade, they will shake their heads in disgust when you suggest a deal that they really don't like, or they nod in approval when you offer an ally some money or technologies, or the other leader will look off--screen and send for a datapad on a technology or for an aid/advisor when you ask for something or present something to them, as if they were reviewing it to asses its value. Changes like these would be great, rather than a static picture or repetitive animation. Also, will they be voiced, rather than a full text-reading system? It seems like that would be easy, only about what, 8-10 voice actors, and the Yor could be a synthetically created voice, not to mention that the voice actors could be used for two races. These changes would be really great to make the game seem more alive, as if your actually talking to someone rather than a repetitive, puppet-like animation.
