About Galactic Civilizations® II: Ultimate Edition

Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition bundles the complete saga of the acclaimed turn-based strategy series, gathering the PC strategy game of the year Dread Lords together with the award-winning expansions Dark Avatar and Twilight of the Arnor. It is a comprehensive package for fans of deep space 4X strategy who want the whole experience in one place.

In Dread Lords, the sequel to the 2003 original, you take on the role of a space-faring civilization's leader and guide its expansion through a hostile galaxy. Success means balancing economic, technological, diplomatic, cultural and military power to forge alliances, wage wars and ultimately dominate the stars. The single-player game lets you play across randomly generated galactic maps or follow a multi-mission campaign that tells the story of an ancient enemy, the Dread Lords.

The expansions broaden the experience considerably. Dark Avatar adds new opponents, units and a fresh campaign while expanding the core gameplay with features like mineable asteroid belts, unique planets requiring special colonization technologies, and spies for sabotage and destabilization. Together with Twilight of the Arnor, these additions deepen an already rich strategic sandbox. As an indie strategy classic on PC, this edition delivers extensive replayability for anyone drawn to building and conquering interstellar empires.
