Game Description

Fight for Galactic Supremacy!

In the year 2225, the reckless humans have formed a coalition to defend themselves from the rising power of the evil Drengin Empire. War threatens the galaxy but both rivals should be worrying about a far darker reality....

Enjoy the sequel to the hit turned-based strategy game Galactic Civilizations as you lead your civilization to prosperity in a hostile galaxy. Find the perfect balance between economic, technological, diplomatic, cultural and military power as you form alliances, fight epic wars and ultimately strive to dominate the galaxy.

Complex Strategic Gameplay

Galactic Civilizations 2 provides a gaming experience that caters to the player and supplies loads of options to let you customize the game. You can play through a randomly generated galactic map or a multi-mission campaign that tells the story of an ancient enemy called the Dread Lords. What most strategy fans will find enjoyable is the highly customizable generated galaxies.

You have the option of playing as one of 10 races, each with their own unique strengths, weaknesses, capabilities and societal personality. If that isn't enough, you can create your own race with its own distinct characteristics. Then you simply decide on the type of galaxy, be it a small one packed with stars and habitable planets or a gigantic one with widely-spaced star systems, to set the speed of the action. With multiple paths to victory, such as the option of simple military dominance, controlling a majority of the systems through cultural persuasion, or forming alliances with all other races, you can have a wide variety of game experiences.

The Advanced AI Provides a Great Challenge

Galactic Civilizations 2 presents an interesting challenge for any level of strategy gamer. The vast amount of features allow more experienced players to fine-tune every aspect of their empire, while the interface and tactics can be picked up by new gamers without much trouble. For example, you can simply use the default ships or you can use the complex ship-builder to design your very own craft.

A key feature of the gameplay is the intriguing artificial intelligence. Unlike other strategy games, the higher level AI doesn't cheat but employs more advanced and devious strategies. For example, at lower levels you could be trading and playing nice with a neighboring civilization that is rather weak militarily, while at the same time setting up military starbases and fleets of fighters in their vicinity, and the AI may continue to trust you. At higher levels though, the AI will recognize the signs of betrayal and take action.

by William (Upper Island Cove, NF Canada)

I remember playing it for the first time, I enjoy strategy games and this become a classic must have.

Everything from monitoring planetary construction to designing your own space craft. That is what caught my eye. When the standard was obsolete, build it better.

there is a wide selection of races to choose from and an extended tech tree. i=It would keep many strategy players busy for hours.
