I've played a few more games now and I wanted to add some additional suggestions and follow up on my earlier ones. Remember, I LIKE the game. I just think it could be improved greatly with some additions and gameplay tweaks. Better borders - God, this is MASSIVELY needed. In every single game I've p...

Actually, this was really pioneered by Master of Magic back in '94. There were two worlds - Arcanus and Myrror - that you could develop and explore. And of course SMAC let you build cities on the water - later in the game they could be quite powerful. I'm not sure I like the idea of the sky world, b...

Every game I play ends with me quitting because every opposing race seems to auto-declare-war and the aliens either kill me or take 50 turns to erradicate. Oh, by the way, this is on the easiest difficulty. Also, the tech tree is 90% war tech. Any plan on making the game more of a strategy and less...

I also saw some very big advantages to a +50% whatever, and found myself modding them down to 25% or even 10%. In another thread, someone wondered why bother planting forests. I changed the "1" values to "2"s. Still not what you want in every tile, but worth planting forests. I ...

Nice write-up though I disagree with several of your cons. That's fair, but let me help clarify some of these and address your comments. On some of these I'm not sure you understood the entire point - it's quite possible I wasn't clear. - A tech tree can never be too long. On one hand that's simply...

The fact that the tech tree is too long sounds like a big pro to me! :p I don't fear the civs unique bonuses either; after all if all of them are overpowered, it means that none of them really is. Unless one of them is clearly superior to all the others... No, it is a problem - because not only do ...

Hi Blackadar, thanks for the feedback! However, if it continues to get developed (and it won't take a while lot), Pandora could be considered one of the best 4X games ever. That is the plan, we're in for the long run. I'm glad to hear that. Right now you have something now can be proud of, but you ...

I wasn't in the beta but since I'm a 4x TBS junkie, I forked over my $30 and jumped in on release. I've been playing 4x games since the original Civilization back in '91 and have been gaming longer than that. I've played almost all of 'em - Civ series, CtP, Colonization, SMAC, Distant Worlds, Fallen...
