Talk about ground combat system

from GalCiv3 Forums

Please make a fun ground combat system 

I dont think it needs to be overly complex  but at least let us watch our invading forces  assault them 

a very BASIC ground combat system in master of orion 2 is much better than no ground combat system 

 

cool animations  like drop ships with storm troopers busting out or tanks busting out to invade the planet 

 

if you wondering why it would be good to invade rather than simply bombard the planet

 

here are a few reasons 

 

1. to simply subdue the race and steal there technology and after you take what you wanted you could slow;y kill them off while moving in your race of people  (I love this way) 

2. to help with diplomacy after you take over the planet you could treat the people very good so they would like you and possibly get them to fight for you 

(idea--> building large statue that stands for peace between the two races )

-- which this idea you could go as far as after you completely dominate the planet instead of taking control of the planet yourself you could let the A.I. continue to control the planet  and then they would be basically an ally now who fight under your flag 

 

THIS GAME WILL AMAZING ! I HAVE A TON OF FRIENDS WHO LIKE THIS TYPE OF GAME AND HOPE YOU COME THREW WITH FLYING COLORS !

3. Bombarding the planet MIGHT DESTROY ARTIFACTS THAT YOU WANT TO CAPTURE 

 

-- so if there is an alien artifact on a planet you might not want to bombard it because doing so might destroy the artifact you want to capture. Which could give you some great technology like advanced weapons or armor etc etc etc 

 

4. Similar to number 3  may be you need to rescue a princess LOL or save a hero that will join your forces you don't want to bombard the planet and risk killing him

Asking for a Dev to reply only 1 day after you post the idea is a bit rude don't you think?

 

Also In GalCiv II there was already a basic ground combat system. You could opt for orbital bombardment, but only as a part of your invasion strategy. And that did have the effect of destroying a lot of the structures on the planet. Information Warfare has always been my favourite choice.

It wasn't even 2 hours, let alone a day.

Also, it's not even 5am where Stardock is located. You really can't expect an answer at this time of the day.

Anyhow, the devs already gave a comment regarding ground combat in the Community Q&A:

Parrotmath: Will there be tactical battles on the ground (planet)? -- controllable / watchable?

Paul Boyer: We have a new planetary invasion system in the works, but we don't want to comment on it until we are happy with it.

oh well thanks for the info 

 

well I have looked at this game for awhile and just bought it so i was excited think

 

-you should relax with the calling people rude thing may be save that kind of talk for someone who is actually being a problem

How about using it to prevent people from being a problem in the first place? I called it rude because it was rude, or if not that then a false sense of entitlement, take your pick.

I really liked Battleoids of MOO2. Early GC2 planetary invasion system was also good, even if basic. I'm torn. Half of me wants it to be more or less basic and giving us modification options and part of me wants to see the possible visual treats in a version they have in mind.

I am a rude person. Starbound_Dust YOU ARE A RUDE BRIT. Machiavellianism is not rude but curious. Sorry but someone has to stop you from becoming a problem. }:)

Dude, is your keyboard broken again? Whenever you hit exclamation mark theres like five of them. Also, Machiavellianism was rude. Demanding a reply, even if it wasnt an hour in a half later, is rude, especially at 4 AM. Starbound didnt say anything rude imo. Pms dont show cowardice, they show courtesy by not clogging real threads with a fight, and in no way was that a threat. Also, leard "4grader" grammar please your post hurts me.

Please Dev. Reply I think these reasons for ground combat are good reasons as well as countless other ones if not for the sheer pleasure in watching your army overwhelm theirs.

Also posting PM messages is rude as well. Sometimes the best way to deal with a rude person is to ignore him.

Yeah...go back to 1st grade....writing in all caps with four exclamation marks really shows your sophistication. And seriously, you are all need? what is English, your 4th language?

And yes, just because you say please doesn't mean its not a demand. If he wasn't demanding something, he wouldnt have made a second post.
