Galactic Civilizations III v2 Update
Plymouth, MI. - January 26, in the year of our Lord 2017 -
Today, Stardock released version 2.0 for its popular space-based
strategy game, Galactic Civilizations III. The version includes
a new resource called Starbase Administrators, improved
diplomacy, tweaks to the game's UI, balancing, and more.
"Version 2.0 is the culmination of many months of working
closely with our community on the kinds of features players like
but often don't get a lot of attention," Stardock CEO Brad
Wardell said. "For example, the diplomatic AI is more
sophisticated and plays a lot like a human would both in terms
of trading and how they deal with the complex web of foreign
relations. We also added a new concept called administration
that is designed to let players have smaller empires that are
competitive."
The latest v2.0 update for Galactic Civilizations III releases
during a special Steam weekend sale where players can save up to
75% off of the complete Galactic Civilizations III: Gold Bundle
from January 26 - 30. Existing players can complete their
collection while players who are newer to the franchise can pick
up the base game and all of its existing DLC for one low price.
Among the other improvements to v2.0 is an AI "redlining"
system. The computer AI will internally evaluate diplomatic
trades and "redline" for feedback to the player in order to
better evaluate its own trades. This process allows for a much
more interesting and engaging relationship with the AI players.
Several changes to the UI offer up even more improvements
available in v2.0. These include folding categories for
auto-generated military ships, adding player-designed ships to
their favorites, and showing important resources and turn
information to both the planet and shipyard windows.
