Overview
The galaxy had been linked together by stargates, allowing minimal travel between two very specific points in the galaxy. However in the late 21st century, the Humans of Earth enter the interstellar community by inventing the hyperspace drive. With the hyperspace drive allowing travel to previously uncolonized planets, a race is on to establish the largest empire and exploit choice minerals.
Galactic Civilizations is a 4X space strategy game where the player controls the human empire on a randomly generated map. The player must first name his civilization and choose a political party. Five other alien civilizations are your opponents: the Altarian Republic, the Yor Collective, the Drengin Empire, the Torian Confederation, and the Arcean Empire as well as a few minor extraterrestrial races.
Deluxe Edition is a compilation that includes:
- Galactic Civilizations (base game)
- Galactic Civilizations: Altarian Prophecy (expansion pack)
