GalCiv II: User Manual Draft 3

Let us know what you think

Published on December 9, 2005 By Istari In Galactic Civilizations II

Brad Wardell, Tom Chick, and Kristin have been putting together the GalCiv 2 manual this week.

Check the link below for the latest PDF. Note that the ON-LINE PDF in the final game will NOT have a background so that it's easier to print. This is a copy of the PRINT based manual.

UPDATE: Draft 3 now 12/15/2005.

At the end of the manual a link is added to access an online tutorial. There are two things that would make it more useful:
1) Move the tutorial from online to into the manual. Perhaps with a link for updates.
2) At the least, move the link to the tutorial to the front of the manual. At the back it's buried, but at the front is where people first turn when they don't know what everything means.

In draft 3, page 48, it is described that a ship with 1d6 attack, 1d2 defense will lose almost every time against a ship with 1d4 attack, 1d4 defense. I disagree. With low hit points, first strike dominates and with high hit points, the 1d6/1d2 ship will usually win.

Uh, why? I think you may have missed the fact that Ship 1's defense is the wrong type, so his defense is square rooted. So it's more like 1d1.4 defense instead of 1d2 defense.
