Ohh, I so wish I had money available right now. Galactic War makes me think of Planetside, at least in the way they're describing it. In any case it looks awesome.
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

Galactic wars at 1.8 million.

What could they possibly have that is even better?

Edit: Bonus hope!

Will Paypal donations count towards stretch goals?

Yes!  At the end of the campaign we will add funds from Paypal to the final amount to determine which goals we have met.

Holy moly. I really, really wish I had money now.

Looks like the final goal will be at 2 mil. Wonder what it could be hmm...

@Cyborg: fwiw, from this latest kickstarter update:

Quote
Some pretty ambitious goals have been solidified because of your support the past few weeks. Your enthusiasm and energy has encouraged us to think even more ambitiously about the scope of Planetary Annihilation. We want you to be able to destroy units, planets, and solar systems.

Or better yet, annihilate whole galaxies.

What do they mean by "destroy"? Well, you know how slippery us developer-types can be.

Galactic War? That's definitely worth putting down $100.

And Kirkland is the next town over. If I don't get a conflict that can ravage a million worlds, I could lay siege to Uber's office. To encourage them.

Looking at the current progress-image as the kinetic-strike-asteroid closes in on the metal planet, I couldn't help hum the Imperial March, except this time it's the other way around.

Why fiddle around with hitting the planet-killing deathstar in some silly weakpoint?  Hit it with another planet-killer!

I'd like to pledge $20 more but I think I'll wait till I actually see gameplay and when it's on Steam. Dunno how the game actually works and how balanced it will be etc. I don't want to be disappointed. 6 days left.. gonna have to do some thinking.
Btw.. it's "Pledge $20 or more". I live in EU and use Euros. I'd have to pledge 20€? (20 euros = 25.5940 US dollars). How would that work?
set /A diff=10
if %diff%==max (
   set /A me=:)
) else (
   set /A me=SadPanda
)

I'm guessing your credit card will be charged in USD and conversion rate and commission will apply.

Well metal planets are in the bag, unless the world ends or kickstarter magically goes down till the 14th.

If we weren't going for your money, you wouldn't have gotten as much value for it!

Personally I think they're going to hit all 5 stretch goals without a problem.  Basic human Psychology - something becomes much more valuable when it's about to end.  I think we'll see a huge influx of money to hit the 1.9 million mark, unless stretch goals 4 and 5 are unbelievably stupid.
Have they said that stretch goal 5 will be 1.9M?
Whatever:  1.9M, 2M, 5M, whatever it is, I'm convinced they're going to hit it.

5M?  That'd be pretty impressive ;)

If they got 5 mil, they'd bring a real life version of Planetary Annihilation with the rate the stretch goals are scaling.

Raise 5 bils and you can finance a launch of a real spaceship to mars =)
