I have the base game somehow (I think through a humble monthly?), but never started it up. With this sale, which of the dlc are essential to pick up before I jump in?

The major expansions are Mercenaries and Crusade, I’d highly recommend those.

Thank you!

The v2.6 update is now available for Galactic Civilizations III and Crusade! Crusade receives some unique updates and both games benefit from balance improvements. v2.6 Improves Trade Routes, Colony Events, Game Balance, and More!

One stat: Gal Civ 3 has sold 600,000 copies on Steam.

I am personally looking forward to the new update since it appears to contain balance fixes with farms, which is an issue I have with the current version.

That’s great!

And SteamSpy remains eerily accurate!

But seriously, that’s awesome news for the team. If only my beloved Sorcerer King could have done nearly that well :(

Nice, 600k and no Denuvo, nice :-)

Hopefully get to spend some quality time in GalCiv3 over the holiday season.

Exactly, they easily could have doubled their sales with Denuvo instead of losing so many sales to pirates!

The big “Triumph of the Fans” update is out today with lots of changes based on feedback from our great community!

Update features:

  • Faster load times
  • AI improvements
  • Fan requests

More info and changelog here.

The changes in 2.7 look great. I had temporarily changed my Steam review because of the issues with 2.6 (farms, AI, etc). They are now addressed and I was happy to change my reviews back to a thumbs-up! :-)

Eep I still haven’t started up GC3. I bought the whole lot of expansions too, feels a little overwhelming. Unsure as to how to proceed. Might do it this weekend and just see how it goes. It does teach you a bit as you go, doesn’t it?

Yes. 45
