In addition to a new campaign that ties up the Dread Lords saga, GalCiv II: Twilight of the Arnor adds civilization-specific technology trees and planetary improvements that add even more flavor to each alien race, while greatly expanding the strategic depth of the game. Originally scheduled for Jan, the GalCiv II expansion has been delayed until March in order to add new features.
Galactic Civilizations IV is more focused than it's predecessors, and is shaping up to be a more fun game for it.
Stardock, one of the the longest running indie developers in the video game industry, has launched an intergalactic RTS Steam sale to end all RTS Steam sales.
That's a lot of RTS games... time I just don't have! Like I need my backlog to get any bigger!
Stardock, developer of the popular 4X PC space strategy series Galactic Civilizations, completely restructured itself as the result of a flop in land-based fantasy strategy game in 2010. Now the company will attempt to redeem itself in the genre. The story profiles the company and includes interviews on what's changed and how it's affected the company.
Glad that the disaster that was the original Elemental didn't kill these guys.
Seems like they got lucky with a big cash injection from the impulse sale and are now happily spending it on golden toilets and yoga classes for the office and staff, what could possibly go wrong. Seriously though I hope galciv 3 will be great because it really needs to be after elemental.
