Much like a Civilization game, GalCiv is intended to have a long life. The 64-bit side of things is more interesting, though for the future rather than now. After years when the characters themselves would occasionally mock the idea, you can now have multiple players fighting over a galaxy. The biggest two differences between this version and the last, aside from a graphical polish, is that GalCiv 3 now supports multiplayer and demands 64-bit. It’s not just a game of rules and strategy, but of quirky charm-witty descriptions to take the harsh edge off the technologies, an attempt to make the aliens you encounter feel like they have personalities instead of simply being a rendered face on some stats, and enough wrapping to feel like there are could actually be people/aliens somewhere behind your comma-filled population figures. Stardock’s series is pretty much unique in the 4X genre-a space conquest game that sits alongside Master of Orion instead of simply in its shadow.
