Is this game as good as it seems

[emcgman]

Is there enough fresh perspective and gameplay to warrant a purchase, even if I own Gal Civ II?

[martok]

In a word: yes. I own (and enjoy) GalCiv2 as well, yet I find Armada is a rather different (but still fun) experience.

Let me put it this way, with a lack of new 4x games coming out Armada is a decent buy.

However, it does not re-define anything and has already gotten stale for me after a couple months of on and off playing.

I guess it can satisfy your 4x gaming needs until Distant Worlds comes out.

Definitely worth your time - at least as much fun as GC2, in my opinion. Armada 2526 is also continuing to be updated and improved by Ntronium, with another significant update expected in April.

I agree as well, definitely worth the purchase. It is different than GC2 (which I have as well) and, as such, is fun in its own way. As Erik said too, the support is there too [:)]
