Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor - updated schedule
We put the question to gamers -- which would you prefer: A Christmas release of Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor or a January release with an extended public beta program? To our surprise, the answer wasn't even close: January. Over 9 out of 10 people preferred having a longer public beta to a Christmas release.
To that end, below is our updated schedule:
| Date | Release | Details |
| 15-Nov | Beta 2A | Yor, Updated Tournaments, Torian updates |
| 29-Nov | Beta 3 | Iconians Added, Terror Stars |
| 6-Dec | Beta 3A | Korx, Drath Added |
| 13-Dec | Beta 3B | Krynn Added |
| 20-Dec | Beta 3C | Thalan Added, Altarians Added |
| 3-Jan | Beta 4 | New Invasion Screen, New Victory Condition |
| 15-Jan | Release | Polish of previous editions |
The idea is to be able to reintroduce the major new civilizations one at a time and provide maximum time for player input on balancing them. We plan to have another beta tomorrow which will introduce the Yor, update the Torians, and re-balance some of the updated economics.
If you would like to join in on the beta, simply pre-order Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor.
