One thing I hate about most 4x games I have played is ground combat is mostly just an after thought, or not even featured. I know there was ground combat in 1 and 2, but it was pretty basic to say the least. For me a space empire type game Is crying out for better ground combat, im not talking about making it really complicated, but at least make it worth while, have proper ground units, instead of just throwing numbers at every planet, and watching it go up and down till you win. Lol I have no idea how you would do this, but I get annoyed most space empire games if not all of them seem to skim this part.
Would love to see proper ground units being deployed, heavy inf, assault troops, tanks or what ever the future version would be, heavy weapons, air units etc. For me this would be an instant buy, I for one am getting a bit bored with just space combat, no matter how pretty it all looks.......am I the only one ?, did I miss anything all ready mentioned ?, is there going to be anything like this ??
