Look what I found in the email box this morning:

Greetings!

Stardock is working on an expansion pack for Galactic Civilizations. It's
called Galactic Civilizations: Altarian Prophecy.

Stardock plans to make this available on its Drengin.net game network
(http://www.drengin.net) but also wants to see if there is sufficient
interest in a traditional stand-alone expansion pack for $19.95.

Planned features would include:

* Campaigns
* Custom Game Scenarios
* Custom Maps
* A Map Editor
* A Scenario Editor with trigger support
* Two new races
* New technologies, ships, and events
* And much more!

A preview of what is going to be in it is at
http://www.galciv.com/expansion.asp

Stardock will be determining interest in the expansion pack based on pre-
orders. Orders would not be charged until the expansion pack shipped. If
there is enough interest in a stand-alone expansion pack (in the form of
pre-orders) it would be released in February.

To pre-order go to: http://www.galciv.com/purchase.asp

I'd better reinstall it!

Galactic Civilizations is one I had looked at in the store (back when I still had money), but didn't get.

Assuming I ever have money again, is it one I should pick up?

Simply put, it's everything that Master of Orion 3 wasn't. They released a mini-expansion to GalCiv a few months ago. It may seem simplistic on the surface, but it has remarkable depth and replayability.

Lol, thought this was going to be Enterprise series 4 or something then. Youll have to forgive me I just woke up from collapsing on the chair

Sethan look in the PM. I will send you mine. I can't stand it. I would rather play SEIV.

Save a buck. Mine is just gathering dust. And needs a new home.

Thanks buddy, but wife will kill me if I get another game before I get a job. Even if the game IS free.
