Topic: Galactic Civilizations: space 4X game

[vishniac]

For those playing 4x strategy games, this is one for you : Galactic Civilizations.
It’s so good that I have to advertise it!!
Strong points are:
•        Very good AI !! And it doesn’t cheat, it just kick your ass!
•        Interface easy to use and intuitive.
•        Different victory conditions for different strategies
•        A sort of roleplaying between Good and Evil
And of course all the things that make a 4x game.

It reminds me a lot of SMAC in its presentation.

Cons would be:
•        No ship design
•        No tactical combat ( but a combat ‘a la civ’)
•        No choice of civilization (but a lot of customization)
•        No multiplayer

To make your own opinion and know about the game, the developperand the philosophy behind:
•        www.galciv.com    , the official website where you can buy (and download!) the game.
•        apolyton.net/galciv/  , at Apolyton, there are links to all reviews, screenshots, etc..

Good game!
