Galactic Civilisations II is set for launch Q1 2006 on PC

Koch Media UK and Paradox Interactive announced GALACTIC CIVILISATIONS II, on PC; due Q1 2006. An entire universe of discovery awaits players; but how they secure their foothold in the galaxy, is totally for them to decide. Will it be through tactful diplomacy and interstellar trading, or by force of arms? With thousands of planets to discover and colonize, players align themselves to one of 10 races, or can even create a custom race, as they step tentatively out into the final frontier.

GAIN POWER ? SEIZE CONTROL ? CONQUER THE UNIVERSE ? Use technology, colonization and war to build a far-reaching interstellar empire. Players alone have the power to choose the path that will make their people the rulers of the universe.

STARSHIP CONSTRUCTION DESIGN ? Players can create their own ships, using a flexible, sophisticated design system. Research technology to design unique ship classes, then visually customize the looks of the ship

A GALAXY OF PLANETS ? Over 20 types of planet to discover and colonize. Harvest resources, develop civilizations and conquer strategic universal positions.

PLAY AS ANY RACE ? Choose from any of 10 races (including Humans), each with its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Players are also able to create their own unique race for a truly custom civilization.

FULLY 3D GAME ENGINE ? Unique 3D engine that allows for intelligent resizing. Each part of the UI optimizes to different resolutions, allowing for more projects to be displayed on screen or greater item in the build queue. Visual details render at higher resolutions for more detail.

ENHANCED COMBAT SYSTEM & FLEETS ? Combat tactics and options allow for greater depth of combat. Fleets take advantage of multiple ships in combat, sizes being determined by the player's logistic ability ? big fleets of small ships or a few capital ships in massive fire fights.

Published by Paradox Interactive, developed by Stardock Interactiveand distributed exclusively by Koch Media, Galactic Civilisations II is set for launch Q1 2006 on PC CDROM.
