About this game
Galactic Civilization is the first one in the series of turn-based strategy video games. After the invention of the Hyperdrive by the Terran Alliance the technology was shared four other races, but as a result, the contact with them was lost, starting the beginning of the intergalactic race to colonize and populate the systems with class 15 or better types of planets.
