I used to win this game on Hard all the time in the past. HARD MODE should require perfect gameplay. Normal mode should still be relaxing but engaging. NORMAL MODE shouldn't require building everything in perfect order like a chess AI. the game's current state only allows it to be enjoyed on Easy.Īnd for those who wants to defend the difficulty.
But the developers REALLY screwed up on the difficulty balance.Ī shame this game isn't/can't get updated anymore, because with a slight adjustment to the difficulty-settings, so a player could increase it from STEAMROLLING the enemies to a good fight instead of GETTING STEAMROLLED. I love the idea behind the game and everything it allows you to do, research, design, conquering, diplomacy. I've played this game on and off since it was released, and i have NEVER been able to beat normal.
Normal or highter, your game will last about 1 hour and then, no matter how much you've been spamming the diplomacy, every race will declare war on you.Īnd it doesn't even matter if you played your turn game to perfection with fast expansions to other planets and pushing your tech as fast as you could, by the time your tech allows you to build cruisers, your enemy will have FLEETS of Battleships - and each of your cruisers will die just as fast as a swatted fly. This game can ONLY be played and enjoyed on EASY game-mode. I love Imperium Galactica-II, it's one of my alltime favorite games.
