The characters of Apollo (Richard Hatch), Starbuck (Dirk Benedict), Adama (Lorne Greene), Sheba (Anne Lockhart) and even the wicked Baltar (John Colicos) were fascinating and multi-dimensional. Unlike the Star Wars series, which increasingly came to be about FX at the expense of characters, BG's appeal has always lied in its characters. For me, 'Galactica' continues to age well and is even better than it was when I first experienced it as a child in 1978. Indeed, considering how Lucas had 'borrowed' from so many other genre stories of the past his lawsuit claiming Galactica stole from Star Wars was the biggest case of hypocrisy ever. Although a lot of people don't know this, based on what gets written by BG bashers in their histories of sci-fi TV, George Lucas's lawsuit against Universal was dismissed on all counts and found to be without merit.

Yeah it's defiantly not TBS, I've gone ahead and changed it to RTS. Personally, I would put it in the RTS category.

Also, the fact that you can alter the passage of time and pause but still give out orders kinda increases that perception. SharkD 04:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC) I believe this is probably due to the fact that the game plays a lot like a TBS, and most 4X games are of the TBS variety. SharkD 02:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC) That goes for other games in the series, as well. Is the strategic layer also real-time? The article is listed under the turn-based strategy category. I understand that the tactical battles are real-time. I'm having a hard time figuring out whether this game is real-time or turn-based by reading the article. How should i categorize the Stats page? Jaapvstr 09:10, 26 July 2007 (UTC) Turn-based or real-time? I've moved a bit and it's looking better this way. Chronolegion 16:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Wikipedia started complaining the document is too big.

I knew there was something not quite right about that.- Hibernian 01:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC) īut just not all races compared to eachother. I see the game's name is listed here as simply 'Imperium Galactica II', but my copy of the game is actually called 'Imperium Galactica II: Alliances', is this perhaps an alternative name that was realised in some areas, or do I have some different version of the game? (Either way the 'Alliances' part needs to be mentioned somewhere in the article).- Hibernian 09:49, 11 June 2006 (UTC) Fixed it. Characters in the Mario franchise ( rev).
