You can blow up planets in Galactic Civ, can't you? |

I believe you can in the first one. You can build up your starbases into Death Star level things. |

I'm pretty sure Dark Avatar added something along those lines. I know they added new planetary invasion options,
That's my biggest problem with Galactic Civ is that the need or Planetary invasion really slows down conquest. |

Yes.
It's also very annoying to conquer shitty planets. A waste of effort! |

I tend to just let my forces obliterate shitty planets. |

Yeah, but you can't. You have to take them over! |

Well you have to lose the troops, but you can cut down on losses by using a conquering method that completely obliterates the planet basically leaving a crappy husk, then I just have an empty troop carrier pick up the soldiers. |

War is such a hassle.
I just conquer things culturally. |

Yeah, capturing things by influence is the best way.
I made a troop transport that could pretty much fly all the way across the map and carried 5000 soldiers, but they absolutely fucking drained my planets of PEOPLE, so I had to stop using them. |

Yeah, it's so hard to conquer someone that has a larger population than you, even if you're way more powerful. |

I'd have to say that conquering the entire galaxy by force would be massively impressive. |

I hate games where you reach the point where you've won, but mopping up to actually get the 'you win' screen takes ages. |

I love that part. You just go around the map and slaughter everything in your path.
Speaking of which, I'm downloading HoMM5. More like HoMMo. |

I don't mind it as long as it doesn't take ages.
In a two hour game it shouldn't take 20 minutes for mop-up, for example. |
