With Galactic Civilizations IV now generally available it’s time to talk about…THE FUTURE.
First, we’re really glad you guys seem to like the game. Releasing a game, especially one where people have been working on for years, is, as you can imagine, very stressful. This is doubly true when the game tries out so many new things.
Below is a very tentative roadmap of what we expect to release and in what order. This is all subject to change based on feedback, scheduling and costs.

In the case of what you see here, many of these are ideas that came from the community late in development (too late to get into 1.0) but we think are great ideas and want to see added to the game.
We’ll continue to update this as we get more information.
