Why is there no sort of empire morale that is affected when you loose whole fleets or have major victories? Why is every citizen a combatant? Why is there no dedicated soldier class? How is it possible that a world of scientists all take up arms? Why is there no war exhaustion when i throw billions of my citizens at my enemy? One day they work in a factory buildings ships, the next day they are shipped off to die. Why are there no different kind of wars (border line disputes, war around a strategic planets/starbase/resources, trade wars, show of force and so on)? Why don't i get economic bonuses when a war of extermination is declared on me? I sure would work a lot harder if i knew aliens would come for my precious bodily fluids. When i wage an offensive war of extermination (as in the default war in GalCiv 3), why do my citizens not rebel (unless being Yor or Drengin)? Why do other races stand by and watch the rise of a all-consuming monster? While i do not ask for a system as in EU4, i would like a cost associated to war: Just as an counter example, when you win a war in EU4, you risk of heavily destabilizing your country, when you take too much land and it is very likely that there will form major coalitions against you for being a warmonger. Why shouldn't i be at war, as long as i can win it?Ĭoming from Europa Universalis it really struck me that there is no downside for war. Every world i conquer makes my other worlds more happy, makes my economy stronger and weakening my opponents. my approval on my older worlds is 50+ base pop now. war does only one thing for me: make me stronger, e.g. I had the malevolent eager ideology as well the patriotic ability, i.e. When i started the game the Krynn declared war on me and i wiped them out. It then struck me that doing so would in the end just feed my opponent with even more worlds and make him stronger to beat later on. is not good at waging a decisive short war of conquest*).

The leading civilization declared war on me, so i bribed every other civ to declare war on the leading a.i. I am currently the second best civ score wise. I am currently in a game in a game on a gigantic map with 7 other civilizations on though difficulty (i.e. Disclaimer: based the current opt-in beta 6.2
