Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords

A Turn Based Strategy game at its best. Tons of fun and you may never sleep again.

When it comes to TBS games what you want to look for is good Gameplay. And GalCiv2 gives you just that.

Graphics and sound are not critical to a TBS but GalCiv2 threw in a new engine and they made it work nicely with the layout of the game. AI as far as i have seen is very competent. All enemy Civ's take different paths to victory making the game very easy to replay over and over.

I dont have much to say about the game other than it plays better and is more satisfying than any previous TBS i have ever played.

PS. This game will turn hours to minutes and minutes to seconds... dont forget to sleep.
