Galactic Civilizations III: BETA 2 is here

Published on Thursday, October 16, 2014 By Brad Wardell In GalCiv III Dev Journals

Greetings!

The team has been hard at work on Beta 2 of Galactic Civilizations III.  Galactic Civilizations III is a space based strategy game that puts the player into the position of leader of a 23rd century interstellar civilization that is expanding out into the cosmos. As they expand, they will encounter other galactic civilizations that are doing the same. 

How players react to dealing with “aliens” is up to them. Trade? Cultural Exchange? Alliances? Warfare? It’s all up to you.   It’s currently in early beta with the release date not expected until next Spring.

Here are some updates.

We really hope you like how it’s coming along.

Some highlights:

Colonizing a planet. Because those planets won’t colonize themselves.

We think players are really going to enjoy the adjacency bonuses. I know the AI will. Smile

Designing a better scout

Diplomacy arrives

image

Ah, the Drengin…

image

New techs!

image

Found your home planet!

image

Why, me of course!

Or not. Everyone voted for themselves. Typical. Well, I mean, yea, I voted for me but they should have voted for me.

That’s right buddy, don’t colonize right next to me next time.

Even in the future, Mars sucks.

Beta 2 is the Diplomacy beta series. The initial launch is just the warm up.
