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!

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.

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.

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