loving the Galciv content! Not that Stellaris was getting stale, but an injection of fresh galactic genoc...I mean fun happy strategy... feels great! 😁
Galciv IV war is instantly won when you research Antimatter Bombs. The AI tends to deploy bombers (6-10 health) and frigates (20-24 health) en masse with 3 cruisers or battleships to tag along. Most Beam or missile salvo ability unlocked early on is highly unreliable and the larger ships will soak the damage. But an Antimatter Bomb deals 12 damage to ALL ships in the enemy fleet at the cost of 1 antimatter. 2 salvos of this will wipe out 70% of the Ai fleet and at that point you will always win the engagement. This is doubly busted as the minimum turn for a shipyard to construct a ship is 1 turn for all ship classes. That means it takes the same number of turns for a 1000 manufacturing capacity shipyard to construct a bomber (~30 manufacturing cost) as it does a dreadnaught (~900 manufacturing cost). That single Antimatter Bomb just deleted 10 turns of the enemy AI shipyard production. 10/10 would cheese again!
17:18 So in Stellaris, we have a planetary super computer AI who likes erotic stories, and another dig site about a vore civilization. Then in GalCiv IV we have a race that procreates with other species using ovipositors. Just lovely.
@@MontuPlays Just be aware, the game is slow. Like, I will sit here for ages playing Stellaris or CK3 or whatnot, and not get bored. But Terra Invicta...that is just so slow it bores me to death, at least at the beginning.
I still have Galciv2 and the expansions, and still play it on occasion. I tried galciv 3. It just didn't hit the same as 2 did with me. How do the mechanics compare? Is it just flashier graphics. The planet screen looks worse, just some random hexagons in the ether compared to a background of a planet map representing where the buildable tiles were.

An injection? No thanks 🚫💉 keep your crime syndicate ethics outta here.
PURGE ALL THE XENO"S !!!
The game feels stale to me like how Stellaris was during its launch

Antimatter bombs is nice, but the most OP things is Orbital Academy. Build 100 or more Academies then you dont care about any bombs :)).
Every time he said containment instead of contaminant, I felt my eye twitch.
i have to watch until the end just to see if he ever notices and corrects himself.
don't spoil it!
I'm enjoying this new game's content a lot, especially the Ship Building mechanic which makes me think of classic spore :)

More videos from montu is always good
You got to recreate the B5 Battle of the Line at Arcea
You should try Terra Invicta game. I feel like its your type of game
That... is a very good point!

@@ThorinWolf You find early game slow? Damn I want to be you , I always lack of time to get Earth ready for !*spoilers*!
"You will soon be filled with our eggsacks" is quite the war declaration lol
It;s very cool to see some galciv4. It is a breath of fresh air. Stellaris is a good but having other games can help spice up the channel.
Just finished the video ... that was a hell of a fight !
Good job surviving the everwar !!
@8:28 Hold on i recognise that event from the last game, are they recycling some of these anomalies?
Same game with graphical improvements
did the same with military starbases and the soldier tec wich gives you 3 free fighters on every defence .... its pritty insane
Basically, you're playing space Switzerland

Like this better than stellaris in a few ways.
Haven't played gal civ since 3. Dang.
In Gal Civ 3 colonization event was much funnier.
Would buy it in an instant if they port it to mac
Eww mac
looks like it would be a cool game but i abhor turn based anything, really. much better writing than stellaris
