Just recently got Gal Civ II Twilight of the Arnor, and rather enjoying it. While it pretty much still remains the same game as Dark Avator, there is some nice improvements, like ability to animate objects in ship designer, the Terra Star (Death Star anyone?) and some nice editor's to play with. Plus, unique improvements have been expanded for each Civilization and a unique technology tree for each race. :cool:
The only thing that remains unchanged at large is research. I was hoping that they'd end up putting the research into categories, like Weapon Research and Terra-forming Research, etc etc...
But its still the same old research one tech at a time, rather than crossing on multiple branch's simultaneously.
