Now to plan my next step of complete and total annihilation in the game

And i thought Egosoft said they were not going to make another X-verse game.

Either way i will buy this, on the day i finally get a better PC to play it on.

The past games, for me, were like crack covered in Minecraft. I will look forward to reject the world of the socially living when this gets out.

Been wanting to try it, I hope it's enough noob friendly.

I sincerely doubt that pre-video disclaimer...

 

[Stevepinto3]

Just curious, can someone explain the difference between the genres of "Strategy" and "Grand Strategy"?

 

[tovansky]

so... all the footage is captured from a real in-game cutscene gameplay...

 

[kannibus]

Where do I sign?

Jesus, has it really been that long since I blasted someone into space with lasers?

Yes, yes it has. Here's hoping this games doesn't suck.

Ok, i like a challenge...

Grand Strategy is much slower and much bigger. Its about contructing and realising a master plan where in RTS and TBS its about defeating your opponent(s) without getting defeated yourself.

Been wanting to try it, I hope it's enough noob friendly.

Im going to tell you straight, it wont be.

I sincerely doubt that pre-video disclaimer...

Admittedly that is what the game would look like at full spec, but Egosoft doesnt lie to its fans, or anyone who is bothered to look in through the door.

They did and then someone there said "But I like getting a pay check." I just hope they fixed the damn autopilot.

Fair enough, also the autopilot isnt bad, its just its shit pathfinding skills.

Well, I'm familiar with TBS and RTS but new to Grand Strategy. Is the learning curve still going to be ridiculously high?

Considering there's not really a way to create a good space simulator (of this type, if the genre is wider than I think it is) that wouldn't be of a huge scale, there's not much to compare. For other games, let's say it's the same difference that makes Shogun 2 a grand RTS and Starcraft 2 simply an RTS. Am I making sense?

To be honest I've never been an RTS player. Don't know why I've never been into it, haven't had a console since the PS2. The last strategy game I remember playing for more than half an hour was Advance Wars. That aside, I think I might get the difference. Back in the day I was actually addicted to Lords of the Realm 2, would that be a Grand Strategy game?

If you never played it, basically it had RTS combat (kind of lousy combat, but the sieges were pretty good), but you also controlled territories and managed resources like iron and stone. Turns took place as seasons so you would grow wheat and raise cattle over time. Damn I loved that game, if only I knew where I left the disc

Yes it will, lets just say theres alot you need to know and even more you can do with it.

Oh man, that's vintage. Nope, haven't played it, but going by the sheer length of its Wikipedia article dedicated solely to the gameplay and by what you said, I'm going to go ahead and say it qualifies for being called a grand strategy game.

Surprisingly not that hard to manage. Ok, the food and resource management gets a bit complicated, but once you understand that it becomes quite satisfying managing your growing empire, building armies, and taking over the country.

Also you can send messages to the computer characters. You can choose to send a "compliment" but make the actual message something like "You sir a fat bastard, and you will never know the touch of a woman", and they'll still respond like "Oh, how nice of you". I thought it was hilarious, it was one of the first games I had played where you could do that kind of stuff.

But seriously I need to go play this game now.
