Welcome (back), Joe!  The game is getting a lot of buzz here, best of luck as you guys continue to get it into shape.

I'd love a game that's even vaguely like the lovechild of X-COM: UFO Defense and Civilization.  I've often thought that asymmetrical games with a 4x feel have been sorely neglected (XCOM, AI Wars, ???).

This game has me intrigued! O0

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

I've been slogging through the tutorial. Zero idea what I'm doing or supposed to be doing.

You and me both.

I did finally pick it up.

First, my Virpil devices messed with the camera so I had to unplug my USB hub.

But yeah, I'm going to likely spend the week baby stepping on this with youtube on my TV.

I did pick it up, while it was still on sale for 10% off (ends later today).  Figured I'll give it a couple of hours to see if remotely makes sense to me, if not, then will return...if close enough, likely will just hold on to it and see how it evolves in early access.  We'll see...

Whoa, I didn't realize the early access discount ended so soon.  Thanks Grim!   :bd:   Resistance was futile so I'm in.

I had a hard time getting started at first.

Eventually I started a 'learning' game with only two other factions and set to the easiest level. That really helped, because with a full slate of factions there is just too much information coming at you all at once. With only two other factions, you can more easily track and block your rivals.

I am just coming out of the first phase of the game...the race to space. Moving to the next phase, the industrialization of space.

Thanks, I'll give the minimum factions a whitl then.  I just went with the default setup using "The Resistance" tutorial.  That helped me learn the interface but how to actually play still eludes me.  I do control Russia, Canada, Ireland, Malaysia and Singapore and I have a bit of a space station in LEO, but Humanity First seems to control everything else.

As long as you have Ireland, you got that game in the bag... ;D

It pains me to admit that I'm not really interested in this game anymore however please do let us know how the industrialization of space phase goes.  That's the part that really interests me in this game but not a lot of information from other players yet on how this aspect of the game plays out. 

If there is endorphic fun to be had in space I may change my feelings towards TI.
