Does the music in the Combat video come from the game? I really like it, and it really helps the atmosphere when watching the video (and as an extension, when playing the game! )

I best mention at this point before I get asked a plethora of questions cause I got the video up. I have no relation to Code Force or Matrix games(though feel free to make offers ), I just have the youtube account subscribed!

However I am interested myself, as it is pretty awesome music, Care to enlighten us :P

Are the scrollbars (1:50 in the video) the same as in the release-version?
I think they are a bit out of style, as everything else is black and there are only these windows-standard-scrollbars.
Same with the dropboxes.

I do not like that you get those huge buffs from conquering Aliens.It should be scaled down.

I imagine there's a high possibility of going on my shelf of classic games, which is reserved to the likes of MoO 2, Space Empires IV, X-Com: Enemy Unknown, Jagged Alliance 2, M.A.X, Civilization and Planescape: Torment... a very exclusive crowd of games that means a lot to me :)

Yes, that's the music that comes with the game. Although as you probably already know, you can customize the sounds and music.

The videos in no way do this game justice. Although this latest one is my favorite. If you are tired of pre-made space scenarios, and want to customize them for your own playing style, this game is perfect. I like to sometimes play a peaceful system and just concentrate on building and expanding, without wars. That's simple.

The entire opposite is also simple. You can set a game up so that the minute it starts, you are at war with everybody.

Your not making it easier to resist this game:)

Then you probably don't need to hear that each time you play the game, Microsoft sends you a $100.

Yeah, when I use the editor, I feel kind of like God. I drop planets, ships, asteroids, and boost my finances to the top. It's one of the coolest things about the game.

Yeah. If you watch the time/date during the battels you will see that they are taking several days. It looks like the time is set as year/month/day.
The space battle (2767.10.25; video time: 2:46) involving the troop transport ground invasion takes 25 days.
The narrator states that the colony isn't very well defended with troops so it will be easy to invade. The ground invasion during the space battle, from the time of first transport reaching center of planet to the successful invasion popup window, takes 8 days.
Those "lore/story" times seem reasonable.

I noticed that every 3 or 4 days the day counter would skip a day without a longer interval passing.
Is this is an odd way it is programmed or is it to do with some sort of lag while using some game elements?
