GalCiv 2 reviewFollow

I finally grabbed a copy of Galactic Civilizations II, and I must say I am kicking myself for not buying it sooner. At it's most basic level it is a Civ 4 clone, but in space! Research, economy, tech trees, exploration, etc. It's all there, but the cool part is that you get to custom design your own units if you want. Periodically you get canned Ship types and components to play with, so if you don't like A-scoutship_01, you can design it exactly how you would build it. Your colony ships are your "settlers", etc., so if you want an absurdly fast colony ship for some reason, you just go and build it. It's definitly worth checking out if you have not already.

It's been out about a month now, so it's only $39, and I'd say yeah. Plus you can play LAN multiplayer with just one copy i believe

I actually did not enjoy GalCiv I or II. The game layout just doesn't click that well for me. MOO2 still has me ruint on 4X games. Nothing has equaled its enjoyability.

I like Age of Empires II the best.

Man, I used to love Ascendency... I lost my CD of it, I'm going to have to go pirate it so I can play it agian, I guess.
