One the best Turn Base Strategy games of all-time.

I would put it right up there with Civilization 4, both just dominating the turn base genre right now. Basically if you like Sci-Fi and turn base strategy games Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords is the game for you. If you where a fan of Masters of Orion 2 (not 3) then Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords is just what the doctor ordered, it’s not exactly the same but similar and just better. Most importantly it has the same addictive qualities but does so with state of the art graphics and with tons more depth.

One of the best strategy games I’ve played recently. The depth of gameplay offered is truly remarkable and the AI is good enough to almost make me forget that there is no multiplayer (almost). -PC Gameworld

I don’t think most people know this but Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords really doesn’t have a polygon limit, so in essence you can make ships that are thousands of ploys and import them right into the game. The game was built from the ground up to be extremely modable, I just can’t wait for the star wars and star trek mods to come out. This also adds to the lasting appeal of Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords since with no poly limit this game will just keep getting better graphically as you update your PC’s.
