The most popular OS/2 game of all time, Galactic Civilizations has won numerous awards and made itself known as one of the best strategy games of all time. With a combinatin of epic game play and advanced programming technology, Galactic Civilizations takes you to a new universe where only your imagination limits you.

To celebrate the 4th anniversary of the original concept of Galactic Civilizations (April 1993 was when GalCiv I was designed), Stardock is releasing the Expansion pack for Galactic Civilizations II.

The Expansion pack adds a host of new technologies, new star ships, new graphics, and modifies the game and its rules based on years of feedback from GalCiv players. Planets can grow larger, technologies are more difficult to reach, the computer players are smarter, the user interface is better. There's even a new opponent to face -- the Ominorians.

Some of the new featuers include the ability to change all your military projects from one to another eliminating the need for having to visit planet to planet. It is now easier to work with star fleets as they will now stay together in a group as you send them on their way to a distant part of the galaxy. A new type of ship, "The Odin Class", can see all the ships in a given quadrant regardless of their stealthy abilities. But Stealth ships are now stealthier than ever and Odin ships, while unique in its ability, is very vulnerable to attack.

The computer players aren't just smarter, in some cases, whole personalities have been rewritten from scratch to fit the strategies of expert GalCiv players. If you're very good at GalCiv, don't count on walking over the aliens this time. The game is still settable to be easy for newer players as well.

Even small cosmetic changes have been made. From text resizing to make it easier to read all the way up to redrawing star ships to make them look nicer.

Quadrants now get their own unique backgrounds to give the galaxy a more intense feel to it.

There are many many improvements to GalCiv and additions to the game that will truly expand the game's reach. The Expansion Pack is a must-have for any Galactic Civilizations player.
