Initial thoughts.

Initial thoughts. Combat system needs a lot of work. Need to be able to zoom out. Early game invasions are almost impossible. AI needs vast improvement. I have been playing turn based 4X space games for over 20 years. My biggest complaint with the genre is it's too predictable...colony rush, tech rush, steam roll to victory. Horizon doesn't provide anything new. I like the game and I'm sure the finished product will be fun to play. However, it's been 20 years since MOO came out and the only improvements to the genre are cosmetic. I'm a little disappointed, but reserve the right to be pleasantly surprised.
