This is obviously a question more for the devs than the players, but my question is this; what kind of state will the Alpha Release of Galactic Civilizations 3 have?
Galactic Civilizations and Galactic Civilizations 2 had really incomplete, crappy alphas and betas; I distinctly remember that they had maybe... a tenth(?) of the functionality of the final game. Same goes for the Alpha/Beta of Twilight of the Arnor (which was admittedly more complete). Hell, in the first part of the GC2 Alpha there weren't even ship models in the game if I recall correctly. All of this was a long time ago so whatever.
But judging from Dev posts (primarily Brad Wardell/Frogboy) the game is in a relatively better state than its predecessors and will have its alpha be more complete on release.
Is there anything that can be said about the alpha and what sort of 'completeness' it will have?
