Ahh back to the good old days of 4D space games. I have to say Gal Civ does many things right. From slamming out Colony Ships early in the game to the massive fleets in orbit leading to a ground assault, space conquest has never been done better.

One of the great features that make this game stand out from the pack is the ability to customize the "look" of your ships in space. That's right not only do you get to choose the weapons, engines, armor, systems and so on but you can add wings, fins, colors, and may other astetic features to your ships making them truly unique but most of all the brag factor for a vicious looking armada is inspiring.

Great job!

Worthy of replacing Master of Orion in any sentence when discussing this genre.

A must buy!
