Galactic Civilizations II Dread Lords Dark Avatar [Add-On] Twilight of the Arnor [Add-On] Endless Universe (Dark Avatar + Twilight of the Arnor) Ultimate Edition (Dark Avatar + Twilight of the Arnor). Galactic Civilization II: Ultimate Edition includes the best-selling and award-winning space strategy game ‘Galactic Civilizations II’ and the two add-ons ‘Dark Avatar’ and ‘Twilight of Arnor’ in one box.
Galactic Civilizations II is one of the best 4X games I've played—and I've played two 4X games, the other being the equally excellent Civ IV. But, regardless, it is magnificent, as Tom Francis' gripping War Diaries attest. Out of the blue, a giant new patch has appeared for the decade-old game, made with the help of the presumably-still-thriving community. The patch actually arrived a couple of weeks ago, but you might have been too full of chocolates and booze to care or notice at the time—I know I was.
Version 2.20 makes a frack-ton of changes to the sci-fi strategy game, many of which have been suggested, or already implemented in mods by the community. Stardock's CEO Brad Wardell says that it 'was awesome being able to work with the fans to integrate years of their own mods and tweaks into the base game. They also gave me a long list of areas where they thought I could improve the AI, which I used to dig into the now 10 year old AI source code base to implement'.
You can download the new patch from the 'My Downloads' section of the Stardock site, or if you own GalCiv2 on Steam, it should already have been updated, providing you have it installed.
Here are the full patch notes:
