Some quick Galactic Empire feedback

[Leon12]

Hey folks,

Just wanted to chime in and say that the new Galactic Empire mode looks amazing - but I have some major issues with it.

Namely, the lack of advanced setup options for planets. For instance, I dislike teleporters (relays are way better/more interesting) and I absolutely cannot play with the "score" victory enabled (the timer completely ruins the game for me, I really hate that nagging "better finish by turn x" feeling). Generally I also like to play with slower game pace, etc.

Currently none of these advanced setup options seem available in Galactic Empire and honestly it kinda kills it for me. I know we shouldn't get ALL the advanced setup options, to retain planet uniqueness, but at least the gameflow and victory type ones should be available.

(If the devs don't want to make these options available, could they be modded in?)

It might be more of a case of identifying which planets suit your playstyle.
I've been pushing the reroll planets button a bit, and it looks like many of those setting are likely tweaked based on what planet traits it rolls.

Some stuff will likely still need a Mod though.

The Empire campaign is about playing worlds that are special, that give a new twist, they should not be all according to your ideal world, that you do in a planet mode.

It's the disabled in the upcoming patch. You can get it now on the beta.

Yeah, me too. Hopefully they'll add a few more options.

I agree 100%, that's why I don't think all advanced setup options should be available. Specifically just some of the time/flow/victory condition ones would be nice.

Oh hell YES. I'll be honest, this is the main thing for me. Downloading now.

This. Rerolling planets is quite bad though I understand why it is present. If the only planet contained 3 allied assembly players who attack everyone else and then you have Growth at war from turn 1 on top of that, you would need to think hard how to solve the problem. For instance, you would use a new leader instead of your high level syndicate because electric damage is not great in this situation. You would pick some promethian or at least picked some units with fire channel as empire bonus. Instead you can just reroll planets until you get what you want.

We should have more feedback on the world. Why are so many gamers insistent on shutting down the options of others. Everything in the planet description should be locked. They even allow some of this. I can customize my opponents on a planet while the required ones are locked. I can even choose the land type but teleporters and other settings are out. Why should I not be able to choose the npc factions or other options. ALso hope they fix some of the bugs. Lost my last world 1 turn from victory to a hard lock.
