Forum Overview :: Galactic Civilizations :: The new research thing is great too, though I'm afraid it'll change over time.

[quote name="pinback"]You get four choices pulled from a random (or semi-random, I'm guessing) deck. You pick the one you want. You can re-roll the four choices but it'll take longer to research them. This is so much better than "choose something from this big goddamn complicated tech tree" I can't even see straight. You can still plan up the tech-tree, but the limited nature of what you can pick from makes it a much smoother, and DARE I SAY more exciting operation. Since this and the core-world thing were the first two things I noticed, I am hopeful that the rest of the design is similarly focused on streamlining stuff that is boring and time-consuming, and focusing on fun things.[/quote]
