'Galactic Civilizations' Delayed

“Gamers have been waiting a long time for the next generation of space based strategy games to arrive. By ensuring that these two games come out at different times, players will have the opportunity to get to know each of them,” said Brad Wardell, Project Lead on Galactic Civilizations at Stardock.

“As a result of our close relationship with Infogrames we’ve been given this unique opportunity that will benefit both of these games and their fans,” says Steve Milburn, Director of Marketing for Strategy First. “They are so different in so many ways that we feel the best thing for fans of this genre is to give them time to enjoy each game on its own.”

The Fate of the Galaxy is in Your Hands

The year is 2178 and the galaxy is evolving at an alarming pace. Years ago, human scientists introduced a new technology, the “Hyper-drive”, which vastly improved interstellar travel, but instead of forging closer bonds throughout the galaxy, communication between civilizations has ground to a halt. Colonization and a battle for supremacy have become the primary goals but only one race can dominate…and survive.

Features :

  • Deep immersive storyline
  • Multi-threaded AI that is as sophisticated and challenging as real life politics
  • In the Metaverse, games can be saved onto Stardock.net and the player can allow the game AI to look at strategies used by the top players to make the game smarter
  • Multiple paths to victory - Achieve victory using military strength, economic might, or political power
  • Ships gain experience as they win battles
  • Dominate other players with economic power through trade and wealth
  • Gameplay events are designed to ensure that each game is a different experience

Infogrames will exclusively distribute Galactic Civilizations in North America and our European distribution partners will be announced at a later date.
