Medium or Large Galaxy Size and why? give your opinon!

[Liberty Prime]

Large. It's big as I can go without significant slowdown late game. Huge would be nice if it didn't slow down the game.

Medium

The game is basically over after a certain point, the rest is just a trudge to get it to say complete.

[Azunai]

mostly medium. that's just large enough to not feel small. but also small enough to finish the game before it gets too repetitive. large/huge mostly feel like "more of the same" to me.

[Shgon Dunstan]

One thing I'm definitely learning about 2.0, is do NOT play a large map with few empires as spread out as possible... So... Freaking... Boring...

Oh, you finally found someone to interact with? Well have fun doing little but building out to them for actual RL hours... "Fun"...

[Ryika]

Medium, because everything above that makes the game slow down too much on my pc. ;)

I do prefer larger maps though. Makes the galaxy feel more alive, even if half of what happens in the universe doesn't really have an effect on you.

[romannets]

Not sure why huge is included as an option, as apparently the games engine is fundamentally incapable of handling the workload, or more to the point, the games engine is incapable of feeding a modern multicore cpu with the data that needs to be processed for a huge galaxy, or a large galaxy for that matter. Infact id be suprised if even a small galaxy ran smooth by the late stages of a game.

Dude its not YOUR PC. Its the games engine...

I think medium (600) is the best setting
Big enough, more action packed, balanced better for ships speed and endgame

Large (800) is still playable and decent, but i feel a bit less balanced

1k stars only and forever (especially after addition of planet killers!).

I come here for epic wars not for some pub fights.

Eng-game lags here... are neglible if you're played in DF or Aurora 4x for long ^_^

But isnt 1000 stars a baby punching game once you are dominating ?

Getting there is the hard part, but once done, taking defenseless stuff after defenseless stuff forever seems like a chore
It isnt as if anything can pose a treat after a while...like baby punching

At least, it is how i see it

It's reward for me, to see how galaxy actually cleaned from threats and now falling into human hands forever (space elves & some pretty humanoids and integrated into our empire for... some dirty things ^_^, other humanoid xenos are enslaved and rest are ... dealed with ^_^).

Yes, it sometimes a bit meh, but also huge galaxy sometimes make incredible wars. For example currently I hold ~ 20% of galaxy and there's another AI alliance for ~30% of it. War will be quite exciting when we will finally reach each other ^_^

[Ficelle]

Yeah, the huge wars with massive numbers, i get it you can only trully have that in bigger galaxies

I will have to try it in 2, probably as some sort of evil specie ;D

[NixBoxDone]

Large. I also prefer to mod in waves of spawning neutral enemies and multiple crises. Then I watch the universe burn.

This is my new favourite term. I will endeavour to use it everywhere I can.
