just enjoying myself in the end game and thought about a possible idea for comment.

Having played a bit of Cities Skylimes recently the ideas of regions came across as a good idea for GalCiv Possibly.

1) sectors of your empire that run under different researched governments, with different defined wheel settings. I.e research and influence government sectors.

2) sectors of empires that can me handed over to a sector governor. This would effectively turn over the running of that sector to the AI but still owned by the player. thus could be switched off at any time. Set an attitude, I.e. Peaceful, defence, aggressive, research AI.

This would help the end game as you could section off areas to just be run by the AI, even instructing sectors to focus on Attacking or Defending a particular enemy AI. Allowing the human player to focus on a set opponent without managing the entire empire.

What do you all think?
