Expand Your Galactic Civilizations For Free

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday September 16, 2003 @06:21AM from the new-life-beyond-zeta-reticuli dept.

Thanks to GamersWithJobs for pointing to the free Expanded Universe add-on for PC strategy title Galactic Civilizations, launching later today, and expanding this previously discussed game with multiple features (better AI, new ships, new random events) for free, providing the player installs the Stardock Central updater. The site explains their rationale: "Statistically, only a tiny fraction of the total sales of the game occur direct [from the developer]... but with that 10%, a different incentive is created - keep the game fresh and improving over time in order to help sales over a long period."

This is a great game, especially when compared to the diapointing Masters of Orion 3. (Although MoO fans be warned, the gameplay is more like Civ in space than MoO) I just wish i had more time to play it, although a free expansion pack is the perfect excuse to make some time :)
