Talk:Galactic Civilizations

message: Guys- this wiki article absolutely sucks. It's waaaay too chatty and of totally the wrong tone for an encyclopedia. Remember this isn't that Star Wars Annual Fact Book you got for christmas when you were 10. - Kholint
I believe that there was also an earlier Galactic Civilizations that Stardock made for OS/2.  If anyone know's much about this version, they ought to at least mention it briefly on the page.
:There was indeed. I shall do that. Fortunately Brad is just a few cubes over so I can ask him direct. :-) GreenReaper 02:14, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I am moving this section to talk.  It's full of weasel words and original research (a la "some feel" (translation:  I feel)), plus it ruins NPOV because there is no matching "Praises" section.  Wikipedia is not a hobby-horse.  -Kasreyn 09:21, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re: Criticisms Removal 

message: For somebody who has the time and inclination (i.e. likes the game better than I do):
* Expand the gameplay section to describe how the player goes about colonizing planets and managing production, and how this affects the course of the game.
* Summarize the information found in the Civilizations section to make it meaningful in terms of plot (because currently it is just fancruft). Then delete that section and add the plot summary to the Story section. I suggest using the Altarian Prophecy campaign as a starting point.

thread_title:  Suggestions for improvement 

message: ..does anyone see any similarity to a certain other game? Not in terms of 4X, but concerning plot and terminology? I'm not saying its not a great game or even a rip-off, but shouldnt the obvious inspiration source be mentioned? --Echosmoke 14:13, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Umm..

message: A separate article for the expansion pack, Altarian Prophecy, would be good, espescially since both expansion packs of GalCivII have their own articles.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.234.163.130 (talk) 13:25, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Altarian Prophecy  

message: This article is a little confusing because it talks about the recent version of GalCiv from 2003 (or whenever), but has a note buried in the middle about the old OS/2 versions. It would be helpful if someone could differentiate between the a bit more in this article. And if it eventually expands to enough information to support a split, then we should split it.

thread_title:  Distinguishing the 1990s OS/2 versions 

message: As mentioned in the headline, it seems that there never was a version 1.4 for GalCiv1. Even the official website of the game only has a 1.2 patch: http://www.galciv1.com/download.asp
Furthermore, a quick google search for "Galactic Civilizations 1.4" yields almost no results, except for this article and a few obscure sites. I'm changing the article to say the latest version is 1.2. If someone can find a reliable source that states otherwise, they're welcome to reverse my edit. --Akuen (talk) 08:11, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
