It looks like alpha centauri but from triumph. I was not fun of it or either the latest one remake from firaxis. Comparing to fantasy age or even civ series - quantity of techs was very limited, like 3 times
The alien creature does look overdesigned. Aliens can be literally anything, they can be clouds made out of microscopic organisms or organic geometric shapes that reflect light in strange ways, yet devs default to very specific, animal-like designs.
Sounds like it is oriented less towards war only and offers more other options, maybe?
That reminds me of standard socialistic haircut, standard socialistic house, standard socialistic dog."Diplomacy revamped and includes elements of other PDX games, like causus belli"Here's some more info -
Wait
what?
Maybe Planetfall won't be solely focused on war.Sounds like it is oriented less towards war only and offers more other options, maybe?
Seems like a weird addition to a game where everything is completely focused on war.
I was super disappointed by the announcement
I've said several times that AoW 3 is divisive because it's a better strategy game than its predecessors, but a worse fantasy game. If they deliver on their promises, I think Planetfall will continue this trend - even stronger mechanically, but even less interesting in terms of lore and worldbuilding. Which is kind of a shame, because as much as I have a blast with AoW 3, that worldbuilding is really what made the world magical.
Romance option confirmed.Maybe Planetfall won't be solely focused on war.
like... umh... like http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Breen or http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Tholian ?To be fair, Star Trek is limited by the constraints of its budget and the need to have its aliens playable by members of the Film Actors' Guild. Star Wars actually had some fairly alien aliens that WEREN'T simply humans with rubber forehead appliances, with aliens that absolutely did NOT breathe the same atmosphere or communicate in human language: You saw aliens that were wearing breathing gear to enable them to breathe in the same room as the main cast, and aliens that just communicated with each other via funny noises and were simply incapable of human speech.
This is definitely PDX trying to capitalize on Beyond Earth flop and Alpha Centauri nostalgia. Given how uninspired the factions seem to be, I wouldn't be too surprised if it's actually a last minute reskin of a title that was supposed to be plain fantasy just like the previous games.It looks like alpha centauri but from triumph.

"Planetfall", yeah. Just a coincidence.
Well this game looks a lot like fantasy to me....with a mix of sci-fi.I don't think it's a last minute change, they've been saying they are working on a non-fantasy game for a while. Or at least a game that isn't like AoW, but would appeal to AoW fans.
Sad to see that most people are hung up by the sci-fi setting rather than the fact that it'll probably be just as shallow as AoW3 as it seems to be a reskin of that.
AoW3 with full DLC and patching was the best game in the series by far.
