Galactic Civilizations 3 announced

Since Crusade is an expansion and not GalCiv 4, is it included for the people that bought the Founders buffet option? Or does it need to be purchased separately?

It is free for lifetime founders.

May 4th. There.

Crusade stream with Brad is returning tomorrow at 2pm ET on our Twitch channel for those who can tune in. :)

Also, the preview guide is up.

Soon enough to give us a date?

And there it is. May 4th indeed.

Same day as Dawn of Andromeda. Wheee!

Given the developer’s track record with his previous title, I think I’ll stick with this, until there’s some feedback on DoA.

Just highlighting that May is gonna be a buuuuusssy month for space games.

I know. Endless Space 2, as well, That’s the one I’m really looking forward to.

I’ve been watching that. Any comments?

Plus Everspace and Starpoint Gemini Warlords! SO BUSY.

It’s been a couple of months since I played, but I enjoyed my time with it.

It is time.

Time for an AAR.

Long ago, when QT3 was new and my QT3 polo shirt fit me I would post AARs (after action reports).

With GalCiv III: Crusade coming, I’ve started a new one…

It takes place at a planet called Haven.

The leader is Jenna Casey.

It has heroes:

And villains:

And a space elevator!

Full thing here:

Wow, that is the way to start an AAR:

Galactic Civilizations III: Crusade is almost here. The biggest, most complex space 4X ever.
Every game is different. This is my story. Your story will be different.

Great read.

Great AAR! Thanks for posting it, Brad.

I am really looking forward to the release on May 4th. Star Wars Day, natch.

That was great!

Enjoyed the AAR. Looking forward to this. Dusted off 2.0 and it looks like I should finish up my Arcean game just in time for the Crusade drop (Kill Drengin & Krynn, Ally-out the rest of the galaxy for a pragmatic game-end). I’m more of a mechanics player, but having names for citizens will be quite fun.

So - Can we please release this now?! Thanks!

It just went live. Grabbing it now.

Question for a Dev if they are kicking around here.

Has the tutorial changed to incorporate the Crusade DLC?

If not, what is the best way to jump in and check out the new features?
