And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
I really like this game - it's awesome they're doing another expansion. For me, it's the automation that gives the game the edge, although I understand why some people won't like it. Perhaps they feel like they're delegating away some of the gameplay. In some ways it's a bit like Sim City or (going back some way) Sim Earth - you define the boundary conditions (e.g. Assign planets to colonise), make some key choices and interventions, then you let your creation grow. As another poster said, the civilian side is great. Seeing the number of freighters being built increasing and watching them move ever more resources all over your empire makes it feel much more alive than a regular 4x. When the expansion comes out I'm going to mash the buy button sooooooo hard.

So much cool stuff coming out in November. So little time.
