About Galactic Civilizations III

Galactic Civilizations III is a sprawling space 4X strategy game where you research new technology, design your own starships and colonize new worlds while facing threats from mysterious sources. You negotiate trade and treaties, wage wars, spy on enemies and promote outstanding citizens, and when the human campaign is done you can play again as one of many included alien civilizations, each with its own history, technology tree and ship components.

This edition bundles in the Crusade and Retribution expansions along with the Mega Events add-on content, enriching an already substantial strategic experience. A central promise is that no two games ever play the same. When setting up a match you choose the map size, the abundance of planets and resources, the frequency of events and more, ensuring a unique galaxy every time you sit down to rule.

Rather than forcing a single linear win condition, the game offers multiple objectives you can pursue, from military conquest and cultural domination to technological ascension or political alliances. A rich, in-depth custom ship designer lets you craft your own fleets, adding a creative dimension to the grand strategy. As an indie 4X title on PC built around a massive sandbox, it invites you to decide exactly how you will lead your civilization to greatness among the stars.
