Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords

An amazing 4x game. Finally some great 3d love for TBS geeks. The custom ship design is very cool!

The custom ship building feature is a huge trinket, toy, game of it's own. However, the interface needs a litle work. It would be very nice if the various windows of the custom ship building screens were resizable. For example, the 3d screen where you actually place you parts is tiny and could use an increase in about on inch on either side right off the bat.

Gameplay is smooth and fairly easy to pick up. The CAKEWALK difficulty setting is almost too easy. You can sit back and let your allies take out the big bad if you feel like it.

This game is a gamers dream in that the developer, Stardock, WANTS you to mod the game and has made this very easy to do.

Overall, great job for a small company!
