Gameplay Features

The Sandbox
Galactic Civilizations III is an open-ended 4X space strategy game that features a robust sandbox mode. The player selects who they want to play as, who they want to play against, the size and configuration of their galaxy, what conditions constitute a victory, and are then set loose along with their clever AI foes on an unsuspecting galaxy.

The Campaign
Galactic Civilizations III will come with a story-driven campaign that introduces players to the game’s setting. In the first campaign for Galactic Civilizations III, the player commands a powerful Terran armada that has just returned from a pocket universe to discover that the Drengin Empire is now firmly in control of the galaxy. It is up to the player to liberate the galaxy from Drengin oppression.

Multiplayer
For the first time, players can compete against each other in person and over the Internet in Galactic Civilizations III.

Exploring A Galaxy
Players typically start with a single colony, a colony ship, and a survey ship. They must explore the galaxy to find inhabitable planets. What planets are habitable depends on what species the player has chosen to play as.

Researching Technology
Each race has their own technology tree that provides unique ship equipment, planetary improvements, weapons, defenses, terraforming, sensors, and more.

Diplomacy
Players can negotiate treaties, trade goods and technology, and scheme against common enemies. Diplomacy has always been a key part of the Galactic Civilizations series and Galactic Civilizations III aims to take this much further.

Colony Management
Players build colonies on alien worlds in an effort to develop their economic and strategic potential. We have plans to add another layer of strategy to this aspect of the game.

Galactic Resources
New to Galactic Civilizations III are galactic resources. We’re very excited about the way these encourage players to push out onto the map. Stay tuned for more details on resources in the upcoming months.

Much much more!

This is just a tiny list of what’s in Galactic Civilizations III. Stay tuned for more revelations over the coming months!

I have GC II, but the game seems too hard for me lol. not really noob friendly to new player for this genre.

Looks nice, despite i ever played my GC2. I guess GC2 will be on the backlog forever while i wait for this one.

Heard a lot of good things about this series too. Great AI that isnt retarded with a very robust ship design system.

just play a little bit on GC2...dont have time to explore this game...can wait for GC3 and i hope this also make me want to start play again GC2...haha

same here..might be if I put a little extra effort in understanding the game, I could actually play it. haha..might be trying it again this week.

Awww hell yeah. It's about time.

This game is for 64 bit systems only. This will allow the game to utilize all 64 bits. so better upgrade your Operating System before playing this beast.

Galactic Civilization 3 is now available as Early Access on Steam, for $99.99
http://store.steampowered.com/app/226860

so at their page no more for price USD40. thought i should wait the game to be in steam but now it only give option to buy the founder edition. so more wait for me then

The only problem with GC2 is that the campaign is utterly mediocre.

But since sandbox is like 90% of the game it doesn't really affect much.

GC2 play time goes like :

1. Open GC2
2. Open Shipyard
3. Spend 5 hours customizing ships
4. Close GC2

GC3 has now enter Beta, and price reduced to $49.99.

Galactic Civilizations 3 can support 100-faction games



More here: Strategy Informer

it is nice if the game has "Realm Divide" just like in Shogun Total War 2.....when a faction got to powerful, several AI factions form a power bloc and declare war on your faction.....it will be a galactic war.

I fuking hate Realm Divide in Shogun 2!!

Adding this to my wishlist as I did enjoy Galactic Civilization 2.

Currently busy with Civilization Beyond Earth.

GC3 is out of Early Access

nice...are you will buy the early access?

First Galactic Civilizations 3 expansion releases in February
