Thank you for your comment!
Just a heads-up, I made 4x4 Galaxy before Archipelago and it's a much, much simpler game.
Finally got around to 4x4 Galaxy and loved it! The fact that it is much simpler and shorter, makes the early game feel less drawn out (it is easy to quickly earn renown) and makes each playthrough more contained and therefore easier to replay multiple times in quick succession. In their own, distinct way both 4x4 games are great!
