The universe is a big, big place. A big place to comprehend, a huge place to traverse, a colossal place conquer. But in Galactic Civilizations, that's just a minor obstacle.
Welcome to your cosmic playground.
What is GalCiv? Take Sid Meier's Civilization, shoot it into space, and multiply by a factor of ridiculous. You see, GalCiv shows an understanding of exactly what makes the space fantasy so irresistible: the scale. Formidable scale, from the mundane day-to-day culture or politics of innumerable living creatures, through nimble fighters dwarfed by the overhanging starships, through distances that reduce our brains to overwhelmed, upset little raisins.
But for a game so incredibly large (Galactic Civilizations III actually supports up to 128 concurrent players), it also manages to ease you in with bite-sized chunks of gameplay that will form your interstellar civilization. In short, it's actually accessible to newcomers.
Huge customizability, great humor, and awe-inspiring scale - become the elected leader, seize your power, or ascend to a higher state of being - the future is yours.


You can also pick up extra content for Galactic Civilizations III including: the Original Soundtrack, Revenge of the Snathi DLC, Mega Events DLC and Map Pack DLC.

eiii: Is there any hope that you will add German language support for GalCiv2 too?
I very much doubt it. Stardock doesn't own the rights to the German translation. Those are owned by Kalypso, I believe. Even if Stardock did own the rights, that translation wouldn't do you any good with the new release anyhow. This release includes the Community Update (though there are quite some bugs with the inclusion at the moment, but Stardock is working on it), which changed quite a lot of the text.

Thanks! Not so good news. But that at least explains why my DVD version installs into a Kalypso folder.

I somehow mixed up GalCiv 2 and 3 (which has German language support) and thought GalCiv2 also had it. Even further reading about the mess with the Community Update I probably shouldn't have (re-)bought the game.

IronArcturus: Does anyone know if there is a singleplayer Skirmish mode in either GC2 or GC3?
Definately in 2
