NOW AVAILABLE: v4.5 Update for Galactic Civilizations III

Galactic Civilizations III v4.5 Update Improves AI, Early Game, Diplomatic Trades, and More

Full changelog here

v4.5 makes some updates that help get your early game moving just a little bit faster. You now start with 2 scouts and all starting worlds have 4 more tiles and additional currency on them. Diplomatic trades have also been tweaked so that you can get a little more bang for your buck – or your Elerium, if credits simply aren’t enticing enough.

We’ve also updated several of the art assets for events so that you can enjoy a fresh new look. Updates to the AI improve game pacing and support further immersion with things like better tax handling, choosing what technology to research, and aborting trades with the player if it determines the trade is truly unreasonable.

Thank you for all your loyal years of dominating the galaxy.
