How is Galactic Civ 2 btw, is it turned based and does it improve at all over MOO 2?

I don't understand the appeal of turn-based games.

they're fun.

But do you just find it tedious to have more control over gameplay?
Do you enjoy a stricter enforcement of the gamed details, or believe it makes it a more even playing field?
I'm comparing them to RTS's.
I played a lot of Risk, and Axis and Allies when I was in school and loved them. But when PC RTS games like Starcraft and AoE came out, I never looked back. Playing turn-based games on the PC seems dull to me by comparison.
I guess they are a different type of game - playing across the whole world with countries as chess pieces. But on a smaller scale, RTS games are the same thing.

i understand your point but I think that the finer elements of gameplay which differentiate turn based and realtime strategy games make all the difference.R00k wrote:RTS games are the same thing.
Also, there is a huge swathe of society out there that doesn't factor the pressure of a time-bound game experience as enjoyable. As you mentioned, Chess. You couldn't have the kind of dynamics which chess features if it were real-time. Thus they are very distinctly different game experiences.
